Drunken Red Mansion: Melting into Jade Madness

Shui Rong took the hands of Jia Baoyu and Mei Ziwen, talking and laughing, and went to the back garden. Along the way, he saw beautiful trees, exotic flowers and plants all over the garden, and a clear stream running through the garden from the depths of the flowers and trees. In the entire back garden, looking south, there are flying towers, pavilions, and pavilions; looking north, there are lush green bamboos.

What's even more strange is that, according to the shape of the hill, the delay goes northward, and there are plum trees planted on it. Although it is early autumn, the branches are multiplying, which also has a different charm.Under the plum trees, chrysanthemums of various colors bloomed one after another, making the garden colorful and pleasing to the eye.

Walking to the lake, looking at the center of the lake, there are two figures waiting in the pavilion in the center of the lake.

It turned out that Shui Rong had already held another banquet in the lake pavilion in the garden. He thought that looking at a pool of lake water, laughing and talking while drinking freely would make him feel much happier.

Shui Rong was introduced to each other by Mo Danfeng, Zhen Baoyu, Baoyu and Mei Ziwen. Everyone saluted and bowed to each other. I appreciate it.

Zhen Baoyu and Jia Baoyu finally met each other, and when they asked about their birthday, Zhen Baoyu was three years older than Jia Baoyu, and Jia Baoyu called him "Brother Zhen".

Mo Danfeng saw that Baoyu was still rather restrained, and looked at him with a smile, "I have always heard that Brother Bao has a piece of jade, but I don't know what it looks like, can I see it?"

Hearing this, Baoyu quickly took the jade off the collar and handed it to Mo Danfeng.

Mo Danfeng held the jade stone on his palm, and Zhen Baoyu and Mei Ziwen moved closer together. They saw that it was as big as a bird's egg, as bright as a bright glow, as lustrous as a crisp, and surrounded by five-color patterns, "It's a good treasure. Keep it carefully." After speaking, he handed the jade to Baoyu to wear it again.

Seeing Baoyu put the jade on, Mo Danfeng looked at Mei Ziwen, "In a little while, you will get married. You were admitted last year, and you will be admitted this year. In a year, you will take up all the good things."

Mei Ziwen laughed when he heard the words, "Where, where, you don't care about this. If you do, then there's no room for me."

It turned out that Mei Ziwen and them were also good friends in life, but they had less contact with each other, and they were also from a scholarly family, so there was less fighting on the battlefield, so they were more bookish.But what he said was what was in his heart, because he knew that whether it was water soluble, Mo Danfeng or Zhen Baoyu, all of them were capable of both civil and martial arts, and their literary talent was not inferior to his own.

Baoyu saw that the lake was full of remnants of lotus and fallen leaves, and was moved for a moment, "The prince is so elegant that he left a pool of remnants of lotus."

"Oh..." Shui Rong squinted at Baoyu, "Why, there are remnants of lotus in your garden?"

Baoyu raised her eyebrows slightly, as if recalling the past, and the corners of her mouth turned up, "We used to have a pool of lotus flowers and lotus leaves in our garden. In autumn, the old lady said that they would cut them down, so as to avoid the ruin of those leftover lotuses and leaves." I don't think that after Sister Lin said, "Leave the residual lotus to listen to the sound of the rain", the old lady also found the scenery pleasant, so she kept the residual lotus in the pond, which is exactly the same as the residual lotus in the lake of the prince. .”

"Sister Lin?" Shui Rong was extremely surprised. He didn't think that this woman would agree with his opinion. Wasn't the remnant lotus left behind by Li Nanshan's poem "Leave the remnant lotus to listen to the sound of rain"? ?

Seeing that everyone looked at him in astonishment, Baoyu was extremely annoyed, because he knew that Daiyu was a proud person, and he hated him mentioning her in front of outsiders, but this time he slipped his mouth again.

Zhen Baoyu paid attention, originally, he also wanted to inquire about Daiyu, but now, it happened to be an opportunity, "But the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the former inspector of Gusu salt?"

Since the people they met for the first time belonged to those who cherished their daughter's family, Baoyu couldn't evade Zhen Baoyu's questioning, so he nodded.

"Lin Ruhai?" Mei Ziwen was interested and laughed, "Back then, Lin Ruhai was also a Tanhua Lang in the court, and now I have also taken the Tanhua exam, and I know something about him, but I heard that Mr. Lin passed away early. , that daughter seems to have been fostered in your Jia's house? I heard that Lin Tanhua only has that one daughter. If Lin Tanhua has an unrivaled talent, then his daughter must have a lot of talent."

Hearing what Mei Ziwen said, Shui Rong, Zhen Baoyu, and Mo Danfeng unconsciously turned their eyes to Baoyu.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Baoyu nodded, "Exactly, her poetry and songs are incomparable to other sisters, even I have never defeated her."

"Is there really such a strange woman?" There was a hint of interest in Mo Danfeng's eyes.

"Unless you recite one of her poems to us, we will believe it." Zhen Baoyu's heart was moved, and he hadn't heard from her for several years. I don't want to, today, I can find out from Jia Baoyu's mouth. One or two, the scene of Daiyu reciting poems with the moon in front of her with a smile and a pretty face when she was a child once again appeared in front of her.

Seeing that other people were interested in Daiyu's affairs, Baoyu was annoyed, "Brothers, please forgive me, my sister dislikes me mentioning her in front of outsiders, and she doesn't like me to spread her poems, otherwise it will definitely be a disaster." Annoy me, let's not talk about her."

Seeing Baoyu's anxious look, Shui Rong smiled and rescued Baoyu, "Then you will be punished with three glasses of wine, so don't show off in front of us from now on."

"Okay, okay, I'll drink and I'll drink." Baoyu hurriedly agreed, and besides, it's hard for me to even see Daiyu now, so why talk about it outside, let alone offend her.

For a while, everyone was chatting and laughing again, but Baoyu felt a little drunk because of drinking too much wine. Seeing this, Shui Rong had to say to the rest of the people: "I will help him to rest for a while, and treat him better." , come to accompany you again."

Mo Danfeng, Zhen Baoyu and Mei Ziwen nodded in agreement, and Shui Rong helped Baoyu to leave.

Besides, Shui Rong helped Baoyu to the study room. Baoyu saw all the books in his eyes. The familiar smell of books came to his nostrils. in the room."

Seeing this, Shui Rong smiled and shook his head, "Baoyu, you're drunk."

"I'm not drunk." Baoyu smiled drunkly, pointing to the books in the room, "Look, my sister's room is also full of books, and it's also the smell of books. I'm too familiar with it. I can't tell the difference."

Sister again?Shui Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your sister Lin?"

"Of course, of course it's Sister Lin. Only Sister Lin's house will have the books in this room, and the room full of books. She is the female Zhuge, the female Zhuge." Baoyu, who was slightly drunk, was talking nonsense. , because that night, Daiyu cleverly broke the conspiracy of Jingui's master and servant, and avenged Xiangling. In his own heart, Daiyu was the female Zhuge, not only in his heart, but now, people in Manjia's mansion are full of people. People in the garden all said that Daiyu was the female Zhuge.

Shui Rong was even more curious, and his words were a little deliberate, "Is that the sister Lin who stayed to listen to the rain?"

Baoyu looked at Shui Rong proudly, squinted his eyes halfway, and smiled even more wantonly, "Leave the residual lotus to listen to the sound of the rain and Sister Lin's "Funeral Flower Ci", "Peach Blossom Journey", "Ode to White Begonia", "Ode to Chrysanthemums" , "Ask the Chrysanthemum", and "A Dream of Chrysanthemums" are far behind, far behind."

"Really?" Shui Rong's curiosity grew, and he asked tentatively.

"Stolen pear pistils are three-point white, and borrowed plum blossoms are a ray of soul." Baoyu murmured about Daiyu's poem, and continued to laugh: "Do you know, this is "Ode to the White Begonia" written by Sister Lin. , Tell me, who can compare with it."

Hearing this, Shui Rong was startled, and said to himself, "I stole three parts of the pistil, and borrowed a ray of soul from the plum blossom." What kind of woman is she, with such talent, she seems to be a little worried about herself.

"Who will hide when a lonely sign is proud of the world, and the same flower blooms later?" Baoyu recited Daiyu's poems again, because these poems were deeply implanted in her mind and could not be erased, "Do you know?" I know, this is "Ask the Chrysanthemum" made by Sister Lin, so how can I compare with her for leaving the lotus to listen to the sound of the rain?"

Hearing the words, Shui Rong was even more startled, and speculated in his heart: "Who will hide together if the lonely sign is proud of the world, the same flower blooms later?" How can a pure and pure woman write such a quatrain, but I have never seen it in this life ,what a pity.

Seeing Baoyu's drunken look, thinking about the sentence he said just now that sister Lin is not allowed to pass the poems to outsiders, my heart moved, "I have a pen and paper here. If you write down my sister's poems, we will believe her." Poetry is better than 'Leave the residual lotus to listen to the rain'."

"Okay, write it down, write it down, anyway, these poems are lingering in my mind, lingering." Baoyu came to the table, picked up a pen, and wrote down what Daiyu had done. The poems are eloquent, and several pages of paper are actually taken up.
