The sad reminder of the science man

It was not unreasonable for Xue Hao to be worried. Within a few days, the concubine Xiande ordered a lantern riddle again, and she also specified that the two brothers and sisters of Xue's family and Lin Daiyu should also guess. Xue Chi couldn't, so they had to go to Jia's house.

When the three of Xue Chi arrived, they found that everyone who was supposed to come had come, so they just waited for the three of them.Except for the three of them in the hall, all of them should have attended the family visit that night.There were Jia Baoyu, You Sanchun, You Shi Xiangyun, Jia Lan, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, and three girls of the same age that Xue Zhi and the others had never met before. Everyone exchanged greetings and introductions, and Xue Zhi and the others also learned that The three girls are the daughters of the small family attached to the second room.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while. During this period, Xue Jia was strictly guarded against Jia Baoyu and prevented him from getting close to Xue Hao and Lin Daiyu.Of course, this also allowed Xue Jia and the others to see Jia Baoyu's thick skin again. Fortunately, there were other people around to help, and Xue Jia finally succeeded in defending.

After a while, a eunuch came over with a white gauze lantern with a square head and flat head, saying that the empress had given a lantern riddle for everyone to guess, and after guessing, everyone would make a riddle and send it in.

After going back and forth, everyone wrote their own answers and at the same time presented their own riddles.

The little eunuch returned to the palace to renew the decree, because the little eunuch had just said that the empress would have a new decree, so everyone couldn't leave for a while.

The Lin family and the Xue family usually interact with the first house of the Jia family, but they haven’t visited the door for a long time, and the relationship with the second house has completely faded. If it wasn’t for the mother’s will this time, Xue Chi and the others wouldn’t come. .

Since they couldn't leave for a while, the three of Xue Chi and Jia Baoyu didn't have much in common.

Xue Chi looked at the somewhat quiet hall, and suggested: "Baoyu, my sister and I haven't seen the Provincial Courtyard yet, so I wonder if we have the honor to take a look. It has been spread all over the capital, and the Provincial Courtyard of Jia's Mansion is Best built."

Jia Baoyu was very proud when he heard this, but thought that his father seemed to have said that no one would be allowed to enter, so he hesitated, "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that my father said that no one should be allowed to enter at will."

The people around were already looking forward to it when Xue Zhi mentioned visiting the garden. You must know that although they met the empress in the garden that night, they really didn't see what the garden had. I went to take a good look around, but now I can't help being disappointed when I hear what Jia Baoyu said, especially the three daughters of the small family attached to the second room, all looked at Jia Baoyu with watery eyes.

Jia Baoyu couldn't stand being looked at by so many eyes, so he said, "Why don't I ask my ancestors."

The people around listened and nodded quickly, "Baoyu, go and ask! The ancestor loves you the most, so you can tell me."

"Yes, Baoyu, we believe in you."

Jia Baoyu went to Shi Taijun's place in anticipation of everyone, and sure enough, the boao jade was indeed the treasure in Shi Taijun's heart. Once Jia Baoyu came out, everything would be settled.

Everyone was waiting anxiously, even if they said this to each other, they were always paying attention to the door, and when Jia Baoyu appeared from a distance, they just stared at Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu was a little uncomfortable seeing everyone's fiery eyes, but he could understand everyone's mood, and spread his hands to let everyone see the key in his hand, "Look, the old ancestor has given me the key to the garden. I also said that everyone can go to visit the garden." He did not enter the door, but turned around and took everyone to the garden.

Everyone looked at each other and followed happily. Xue Chi and the three of them followed not too far away, but kept a certain distance from the crowd, not separated from the large army, but they didn't seem so close.

To be honest, the three of Xue Chi and the others are very curious about the provincial court. These days, they have also heard about the evaluations in the capital, the exquisiteness of the Wu family, the elegance of the Mei family, and the luxury of the Shen family...but In the end, the Jia family won, and they also wanted to see how the garden was built to be the best.

Among the three of Xue Jia, Xue Hao met her in her previous life and lived in it for a long time, but even so, Xue Hao also had a curiosity in it. She thought that the garden was built in this life, but it should be It will be different from the previous life, and she wants to see if there is any difference from the previous life now.

Xue Jia actually wanted to see it with his own eyes when Jia’s family built the garden, but at that time the relationship between Xue’s family and Mrs. Wang could be said to be very tense, and he was also busy, so naturally he would not come to see the garden. Now that he has the opportunity, of course he will not let it go. More importantly, he doesn't want to talk to a group of children, and he has to guard against Jia Baoyu, Xue Hao and Lin Daiyu all the time.

Among the three of them, Lin Daiyu is really curious. To be honest, Lin Ruhai mostly hides Lin Daiyu's troubles about the Lin family and Jia's family. This weakened Lin Daiyu's affection for Jia's family and Jia Baoyu. Lin Daiyu didn't really dislike Jia's family, but she was aware that everyone around her was isolating her relationship with Jia's family, especially the second room.Therefore, even though she was very curious about the garden, Lin Daiyu held back her emotions and did not come here before. Now that she had the opportunity, she naturally wanted to see how well the garden was built.

Because it was only the family members visiting by themselves, naturally they could not enter and exit through the main gate, but Jia Baoyu took everyone to look outside the garden first, and saw that the gate was a red-lacquered gate with a brass animal head, revealing majesty; The walls are made of snow-white powder, and tiger skin stones are piled under the walls. At first glance, they seem to be placed randomly, but at first glance, they form their own textures, which are unconventional.

Although everyone said that except for Xue Chi and the others, they had all entered the garden, but apart from Jia Baoyu, no one had seen the outside of the garden, and they all exclaimed.

Jia Baoyu watched the crowd fascinated, and said loudly: "Okay, what's interesting outside here, let's go in!"

The crowd was awakened by Jia Baoyu's voice, and followed Jia Baoyu into the garden from the side door. A green barrier—a rockery came into view and blocked their sight. Looking at the scenery, what else can be visited in the garden.

The crowd entered the mountain pass through the Yangchang path, looked up, and saw a mirror-faced white stone with the inscription "The winding path leads to seclusion". For the inscription, my father once asked me what word I should inscribe, but my father didn’t say anything at that time, but I didn’t expect it to be “a winding path leading to a secluded place.” The pride in Jia Baoyu’s words was irresistible.

All the people present couldn’t wink, especially the girls from Kongqian’s family who were attached to the second room. They were told by their elders to curry favor with Jia Baoyu at home; Looking at Jia Baoyu, now that there is such a ready-made opportunity, the words of praise, such as being talented, prospering with literary ideas, and the stars of literary music... are all used to flatter Jia Baoyu.

Others wanted to praise Jia Baoyu at first, but they couldn't say what they praised when they heard the words of the three girls of Kongqian. Seeing that Jia Baoyu didn't notice them, they still had a good time watching the beautiful scenery. Lost and lost, not everyone can enter this provincial hospital.

Jia Baoyu was so dazed by the praise of the three girls, when he came back to his senses, he found that the crowd had already walked to the front and hurriedly chased after them.Yuanzi said whether it was big or small, and everyone knew that it was impossible to watch carefully. The speed of the crowd was still impressive, and when Jia Baoyu caught up, everyone almost watched them all.The scenery along the way can be described as five steps, one scene and ten steps, one color, including small bridges and flowing water, flowers and trees, as well as dignified beauty and wild nature.Everyone was fascinated by watching it, and secretly thought in their hearts that the Jia's Provincial Courtyard can be the best in the whole capital, and there is indeed its connotation.

Looking at the beautiful scenery, everyone couldn't help but feel very excited about poetry. Although everyone had already done it once on the night of the Lantern Festival, at this time and that time, everyone was very excited and wrote poems one after another.Originally, Xue Hao and Lin Daiyu were also a little itchy, but they were stopped by Xue Jia. Although Xue Hao and Lin Daiyu were not happy, they had to give up.

Xue Chi and the others did not move, which naturally attracted Jia Baoyu's attention, "Why don't Sister Xue and Sister Lin write poems?"

The girls from Kong and Qian’s families have long been displeased with Xue Hao and Lin Daiyu’s indifference to Jia Baoyu, and they also sarcastically said, “Isn’t it because they can’t write poems! So they simply don’t come out to make a fool of themselves.”

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her petty temper was about to explode, and she wanted to attack the flattery of the Qian family. Lin Daiyu looked down on the three of them, and now she dared to speak like this, and opened her mouth to say something.

Xue Hao has been standing with Lin Daiyu all the time, feeling Lin Daiyu's small fists, he quickly grabbed Lin Daiyu and shook his head at her, "I'm really sorry, but my sister and I were really shocked by the beautiful scenery today, and now we are so excited Now, unlike the sisters who have been here before, we are prepared for this scene, and now we can’t think of any poems to express our hearts. My sister and I still don’t make a fool of ourselves, and reading the articles you write is also a kind of learning.”

The three girls of Kong Qian were choked by Xue Hao's words, and they were shocked by what they said. What else could they say, so they had to give up, but they didn't notice that there was a flash of light in Xue Chi's eyes.

Xue Chi also said at this time: "Baoyu, you also know what kind of person your cousin is, and you don't know anything about those people. If you want me to write poetry, it would be faster to put a knife on my neck. I guess my sister I said this because I was afraid that I would be laughed at by others. I heard that many of you named Baoyu in this garden and wrote poems. Even the empress praised you. I really admire Baoyu. , tell me about the matter of the empress visiting relatives that day, I am very curious. Is this poem? I won’t do it. We talked as we walked, I see the weather, maybe when we return to the hall, the empress’s reply It should be here."

Xue Hao heard Xue Chi say this and said aside, "Yes, going back earlier also shows that we have a heart for the empress."

Jia Baoyu thought for a while, and he couldn't write a poem now, so he nodded, "Okay, then let's go back! Cousin, let me tell you, it's really your loss that you didn't come that day, ma'am... ..." Jia Baoyu spoke bluntly.

The others saw Jia Baoyu leaving, although they were disappointed, but they knew that they were no better than Jia Baoyu and followed Jia Baoyu here, so they had to mutter a few words to follow Jia Baoyu and the others.
