There is no phoenix

Everyone saw that Baoyu wrote not a poem, but a very long article, and they all looked at Baoyu in surprise.

Daiyu picked it up and looked at it carefully, then asked quickly, "Baoyu, why did you write this?"

Baoyu sighed, "I've always wanted to write a sacrificial article for Qingwen, but I haven't finished it. It's rare to have such an interest today, so I suddenly want to write it."

Tanchun Xiangyun hurriedly asked: "Sister Lin, what did Brother Bao write? So many words!"

Daiyu put it down and said: "Baoyu wrote a sacrificial oration for Qingwen, not a poem. However, it is very well written and can be shared with Cao E's inscription. Look here, I will go to the fourth sister's yard to play chess first. "

After hearing this, Tanchun also said, "I'll go too, Sister Lin, it's just the two of us, I'm afraid we'll have dinner after we finish playing chess."

Baochai said: "In this case, sister Lin and third sister, you go first. I, Baoqin and girl Yun, Baoyu, will accompany my brother and sister-in-law to visit this garden. After so long, I want to go and see where I lived before." house."

Daiyu Tanchun nodded, and left together hand in hand.

The two came to Xichun's place, and saw that Xichun Yingchun and Li Wan had finished playing chess, and Yingchun was victorious.So Daiyu played chess with Yingchun first, and the rest of them watched from the sidelines.After a while, Yingchun still won.

Tanchun sat down and laughed, "I guess the second sister is the first one. Neither sister Lin nor the fourth sister can win. I must be the one who deserves the occasion."

After a while, as expected, Yingchun won.

Li Wan smiled and said: "Let's go for a walk. Find a few of them and comment on your poems together. It's time for dinner. After dinner, we are still busy."

So everyone came out laughing.

Everyone came to the pavilion and read everyone's poems together, and they all praised them well.Li Wan said with a smile: "How about it? It's rare that Cousin Xue and Cousin-in-law come here to join in the fun. We each get a fan. The second sister is the best at chess. Let's add one more. What do you think?"

Everyone agrees.

Li Wan laughed and said: "Although we are composing poems to join in the fun, now I see that the poems written by everyone are really good. However, only Baoyu and Cousin Xue will have a share in the future examinations here. After a while, everyone Drink well, eat well, get out your spirits, draw a good picture, write a poem on it, take it back, and taste it for yourself!"

Xue Pan laughed and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I've been preparing for several days to come here to watch you make poems and paintings. I've already thought about what to draw. But I can't write, so I need someone to help me copy it." , but for painting, I won’t ask you for help anymore, I will do it by myself.”

Baoyu hurriedly asked Xue Pan what he wanted to paint?Xue Pan laughed and said, "Sister, don't ask, and I won't tell you now. Anyway, if my painting doesn't get the first place, I'm afraid you won't be able to find fault with it."

Xia Jingui smiled and said, "Fatty, don't make people laugh so hard when you draw a picture. You have to use your brain too."

Xue Pan said: "Jingui, don't worry, I won't embarrass you. As I said just now, I was ready a few days ago."

Everyone was chatting and joking, and the girl came over and said that the food and wine had been served over there, and asked Li Wan where to put it.

Li Wan smiled and said: "Let's put it here, it's cool and you can see the surrounding scenery, what do you think?"

Everyone nodded and said yes.

After everyone had eaten, Li Wan Tanchun asked the maids to pack up the tables and stools, then took everyone along the pond for a week, returned to the pavilion, asked the maids to take out pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and said with a smile: "Today I prepared for you I don’t have much paint, if it’s not enough, it’s better to use thick ink. You don’t need to paint too complicated, just finish it in one or two hours, and if you don’t write poems, you can just write the words you like.”

Xia Jingui said: "I really like the willow trees on the bank, so I'll just draw willow trees."

Baoqin smiled and said, "I also want to paint willows."

Xiangyun said: "I saw a lot of swallows on the railing next to the willow tree just now, so I drew those swallows on the willow tree."

Several other people said to draw lotus.Li Wan then asked everyone to pick a pen, ink and paper, and then everyone concentrated on painting.

After nearly two hours, everyone has finished drawing.Li Wan put everyone's paintings together, and everyone commented on them together, feeling that they all have their own characteristics.

Daiyu Baochai said: "I think the painting of the fourth younger sister is very realistic. Although there are not many lotus leaves and flowers in the painting, it is really well drawn, and the poem is the most profound."

Xiangyun Tanchun and others all came to look at Xichun's paintings.

It turned out that Xichun painted lotus flowers, using only three colors of red, yellow and green, and painted a not fully bloomed lotus in the middle, and the inscription was: "Spring arrives in the fragrant garden, the color is new, and the fragrance is beautiful." It’s the same everywhere. May I ask who is the flower cherisher, who lives in Penglai Guanyuan.”

Baoqin nodded and said: "The fourth girl is the youngest. I never thought that she could paint so well and write poems so well! The profundity of Buddhism, the calmness of Taoism, the ambition of the world, and the melancholy and helplessness of life have all been revealed."

Daiyu laughed and said, "Sister Qin is also the bosom friend of Fourth Sister, and your comment on character is indeed on point."

Baoyu took it, looked at it carefully, and asked quickly: "You all say that my sister's paintings and poems are good, what are the advantages?"

Baochai said: "Brother Bao is such a smart person, why can't you see it? You see, the words 'chun, cherish flowers' imply the names of the fourth younger sister, the 'home' of 'living in Penglai', Jia Ye, This poem hides the surname of the fourth sister. Qinglian is a branch, which is different."

Daiyu said with a smile, "Sister Bao's solution is a must."

Baoyu listened, nodded and said: "After you explain it this way, I understand that the fourth sister really hides her secrets. She usually says she doesn't like to write poems, but when she writes them, she becomes a blockbuster!"

So everyone continued to judge individual paintings.

Everyone was talking and laughing, only to see Baoyu picking up a painting and laughing, pointing at Xue Pan, but he couldn't speak.

Xia Jingui heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother Bao, show me, is it drawn by the fat man? I want to see what our fat man draws and writes."

After hearing this, Baoyu smiled and handed Xue Pan's painting to Xia Jingui.

Xue Pan on the side said seriously: "Baoyu, why are you laughing, don't I look like a picture? What's wrong, tell me and I'll listen."

Baoyu just laughed, but didn't speak.

Xiangyun approached Xia Jingui, looked at Xue Pan's painting, and couldn't help laughing.

Daiyu Tanchun and Baochai Xichun were still looking at the lotus flowers painted by Xichun, and when they heard Xiangyun laughing so hard, they turned their heads and asked with a smile, "Girl Yun, what is so funny?"

At this moment, Li Wan also looked at Xue Pan's painting, and couldn't help laughing, "Cousin Xue is really funny!"

After hearing this, Tanchun hurried over, took the painting from Xia Jingui's hand, looked at it, handed it to Daiyu, smiled and leaned on Baochai's shoulder and said, "Sister Lin, look!"

Xia Jingui said with a smile: "My fat man still has writing on this painting, it's really funny, but if you want to say that it's not good, I'm afraid you really can't say it."

Daiyu took the painting handed over by Tanchun, looked at it, and saw a tortoise drawn in thick ink on it, with a crooked writing on the side: "Turtle, bastard, one head, half a tail, four claws, Wear a big suit of armor."

Xichun looked at it, and smiled so much that she fell on Yingchun's body, and Daiyu Yingchun and Baochai couldn't help laughing.

Baoyu pointed at Xue Pan with a smile and said, "Cousin, thank you for thinking it out!"

Xue Pan didn't smile, and said seriously: "Baoyu, sisters, I heard from Baoqin that you are going to compose a poem today, and I prepared it a few days ago. The man in my shop the day before yesterday said that someone gave him a tortoise." Raise, he didn’t want to raise it anymore, so I took it home to raise it. In order to write a poem, I looked at the tortoise every day. After thinking about it for a few days, I finally thought of those few poems. You say, don’t my paintings look like it? Or me Poetry is not good?"

Jingui listened, and said with a smile: "I said Fatty, your words are good, but they don't look like poetry? You didn't see it, it's ridiculous."

Xue Pan said: "Jingui, why is mine not considered poetry? Could it be that everyone's poems have the same number of words in each sentence?"

Jin Gui said: "Then tell me, there are other poems written by people like you. They are not four lines, nor eight lines, and they don't look like words."

Xue Pan asked anxiously: "Do you think I really don't know a little poetry? Isn't there a poem about a trumpet and suona, isn't it just like mine? There is also 'Xing, the people are suffering, death, the people are suffering.' Isn't it the same?"

Jin Gui said: "I know that the people are suffering. I have never heard of the trumpet and suona you mentioned."

Baochai said with a smile, "sister-in-law, my brother said that Wang Pan made a few words of 'trumpet, suona, small tune, big accent, and the chaos of official ships.'"

Everyone was chatting and laughing, only to see a girl come and go back: "Second Master Bao, the master is back and said he has something to do with you, Madam told you to go over quickly."

After the girl finished speaking, she said to Li Wan: "Grandma, the old lady said, let you take the girls to have a good reunion, and go to her for dinner in a while. It's rare for Miss Yun to come here, so let's stay here for one night."

Li Wan agreed, and the girl led Baoyu away.
