Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Hearing this, Li Wan laughed and said, "It was Sister Lin who thought up the idea of ​​brewing wine from plum blossoms."

Tanchun said: "This wintersweet is not a kind of plum, but its fragrance is more fragrant than plum blossoms."

Xiangyun said: "Winter plum is originally considered to be the best among plums. The so-called yellow plum is this kind."

From the screen window, Baoqin saw five or six wintersweet trees outside in the courtyard, which had just bloomed for the first time. They were very beautiful, and the room was full of fragrance.

Sister Feng took two sips of wine and said with a smile: "You guys are so naughty, come up with these methods, I just need to have wine to eat, it doesn't matter if it is made of plum blossoms or chrysanthemums, besides, since there are plum blossoms, why don't you make a peony? Brewed, the peony flowers are big and fragrant, the brewed wine must taste even better."

Li Wan glanced at her and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I'll try Sister Lin's method tomorrow. Anyway, plum blossoms and peonies are all ready-made in our garden, and I can make a few jars of wine if I want."

Everyone who said it laughed, Xiangyun laughed and said: "It's all caused by Sister Feng. Burning pianos and cooking cranes really spoils the scenery."

Daiyu also laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, don't imitate me, or the plum blossoms here will be ruined, and I will be the chief culprit."

After talking and joking for a while, Baochai said to Baoqin: "Qin'er, you walked by the south, are the plum blossoms there the same? Or something different."

Baoqin was eating a piece of rouge goose breast. Hearing this, she put down her chopsticks, thought for a while and smiled and said, "I traveled around with my father, but I saw a different species of plum blossom in Gusu. It only opens at the beginning of spring. The petals are light rose red, layered on top of each other, like a shallow bowl, with as many as 45 petals, and there are broken petals dancing inside. Never seen the second one."

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised, and sighed: "It's a pity that I can't see such a wonderful flower."

Daiyu smiled and said: "Suzhou has the most exotic flowers, but most of them are man-made, like the natural alien species that Sister Qin said just now, but I have never seen it.

If it is said that plum blossoms are flourishing, Wuzhong has to be pushed, but the mountains of Guangfu must be the most. It is said that Deng Yu, a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, lived here in seclusion in his later years and planted plum blossoms in the mountains. Up to now, the plum forests in Dengwei Mountain stretch for dozens of miles. It has the reputation of Xiangxuehai. When the flowers bloom, the fragrance floats for miles, and people want to be drunk. The so-called 24 fragrant flower trade winds, only Meixin is the first. To, extremely spring flourishing. "

Li Wan said with a smile: "I never went to Deng in Gusu in the past.

After a visit to Weishan, I went to visit the other places of interest and historical sites, which really made people linger and forget to return. "

After that, I talked about the ancient sites in Santang, Huqiu, Guanyin Mountain and other places in Suzhou.

After hearing this, all the people were fascinated and said, "When can I go and see this magnificent scene?"

During the conversation, after drinking for three rounds, the serving maid took away the fruit and vegetable box, and brought out tea and food. They were all small Ding kiln white porcelain dishes, filled with almonds, pine nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts and various small snacks, and an extra pair of small dishes Tooth chopsticks, a tea boat, and a small covered cup inside, everyone just picks and eats what they like.

In this room, Ping'er, Yuanyang, Zijuan and others were also drinking and gossiping outside, Suyun asked with a smile: "What is sister Riping doing at home these days, I haven't been here for a long time."

Ping'er said with a smile: "Where is the stubbornness? I was busy with work for a whole month in the previous journey."

After hearing this, Yuanyang said, "It's nonsense, the man who has his own needle and thread for the full moon, how can he use you?"

Ping'er said with a smile: "Although I don't do it, it's more troublesome than doing it. Grandma has to ask again and again about everything my brother should wear. It's fine to return the outer clothes. I have to tell them how they look, otherwise I will do something wrong. The rest of the close-fitting people who don't need needlework are all made by me with a few maids, and I tied the bib that won the first place among the five sons." Then he said to Ying'er: "The knot was tied by my sister-in-law. It's really exquisite, Minger will also teach me how to type a few, and give our brother a long life lock."

After hearing this, Ying'er quickly laughed and said, "My sister's words are too outlandish. Just ask me to do whatever work, and it's not worth it."

Several people were chatting and joking, when suddenly an old woman replied: "Grandma asked me to bring a table of fruit and six snack boxes to the girls, so that the girls can eat and drink as they please without restraint."

Everyone stood up hurriedly, Ping'er smiled and said: "Please trouble mom, just say that we don't want to quarrel with the girls and grandmas, and kowtow to the grandma on our behalf."

The mother-in-law agreed to go, Zijuan said with a smile: "Today is a good day for grandma, and the girls are all here. There is no such excitement in the past. Now grandma has rewarded food, and we have a lively meeting."

Suyun smiled and said: "It's really rare that you all have free time. Tomorrow, the second girl, Miss Lin, will leave the pavilion, and there will be no such excitement."

A few people chatted while drinking, Yuanyang looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he pushed Zijuan and whispered: "Seeing that your girl is about to leave the cabinet, what do you have to do?"

Zijuan blushed when she heard the words, and said: "Sister said this

What to do, I naturally follow our girl. "

Yuanyang glanced at her and said: "I'm planning for you. Your uncle's house is different from other families. The Gu family has a rule of forty and no children before you can take a concubine. You have to plan for yourself as soon as possible. According to me, you are a slave and a maid." I'm not at ease in the end, why don't you ask for a favor and let me go out to marry you, Miss Lin has always treated you well, not to mention that you don't want money, I'm afraid she will give you a dowry."

Zijuan's face turned red, but she also knew that Yuanyang was thinking of herself, and said in a low voice: "I understand what my sister wants, but you also know that I have been with Miss Lin for more than ten years. Although we are a girl, our girl treats me like a relative There is no difference between sisters, I am not willing to leave her."

After hearing this, Yuanyang couldn't help sighing, and said, "So you have made up your mind to follow Miss Lin?"

Zijuan nodded lightly, her voice was weak but firm: "I'll be where our girl is, I've already thought about it, and when I'm old in a few years, I'll be at Gu's house—" He paused here, After all, she was a little shy, and said softly: "Find a suitable marriage in the Gu family, and become a housekeeper in the future, so that you can help our girl."

Yuanyang couldn't help sighing when she heard the words, knowing that she had made up her mind, she couldn't persuade her anymore. Daiyu was kind to others, Zijuan was always smart, and being a housekeeper was also a way out, unlike herself, who had nowhere to go yet, and another Jia Amnesty watched from the side, hiding for a while, but not for a lifetime, and he didn't know what would happen in the future.

But Daiyu and others had another drink, and just after eating, they rinsed their mouths and drank tea.

Li Wan glanced out the window and saw that the sky was fine, so he said: "There are these fires here, and I just drank a few glasses of wine, why don't we go out for a walk."

Daiyu drank two extra cups of wine just now, her face was as hot as rouge, she held her face and smiled and said, "I only had two extra cups, now my face is so hot, I just want to go out for a rest. "

So, everyone stood up. Sister Feng missed her son and said with a smile: "You go shopping on your own. I'm afraid Zhige will wake up now. I'll go back and have a look."

Li Wan knew that she had a son and everything was fulfilling, so she jokingly said, "Look at Feng girl, it's different to have a son, and it's been so long since I haven't had a son. Don’t you want to make yourself jealous?”

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Sister Feng spat at Li Wan when she heard the words, and said, "Don't just make fun of me. I'm naturally a wicked mother-in-law. If you don't believe that Brother Lan will get married tomorrow, don't you feel sore?"

Li Wan said with a smile: "In the future, I will naturally be our Lan'er's daughter-in-law.

Girls look at it like you, a broken-down family! "

After making fun of it, Sister Feng went by herself, and Yuanyang also went back to serve Jia Mu. She couldn't stay long, so she went back together.

Tanchun said: "It's not far from Nuanxiangwu, why don't we go to the fourth sister's house and have a good meal at Ouxiangxie when we come back."

Xiuyan said, "I'm afraid that side is not as warm as this side."

Baochai said: "It's the same there as here. In winter, there is another shelter from the wind, and a kang is caged, which is similar to here."

Hearing this, Xichun stood up and said, "Sisters-in-law and sisters don't think it's too simple, so please go over and have a seat. I also have a few wintersweet trees in my place, and they are just about to bloom, so I can see them."

Baochai laughed and said, "That's very good, let's go for a stroll." At that moment, everyone put on their cloaks and came to Zilingzhou together.

Daoxiang Village was originally close to Zilingzhou. After leaving Daoxiang Village, we turned a corner and arrived at Zilingzhou not too far away. When we walked to Nuanxiangwu, where Xichun lived, there were three small rooms with corridors on both sides.

The girl serving on the porch saw her, and hurriedly pulled up the gorilla felt embroidered squirrel noren.

Everyone walked into the room, and saw a kang in the middle, a row of small red sandalwood carved chairs on both sides, and squirrel chairs on top.

Li Wan and Daiyu Xichun sat on the kang, Baochai, Yingchun, Xiuyan, and Xiangyun sat on the smoker cage, Tanchun, Baoqin, Li Wen, and Li Qi sat on the chairs on both sides, and the rest Pinger, Suyun, and Zi Cuckoo, Yinger, etc. all sat in the east ear room.

The serving girl brought tea, and two more girls brought foreign lacquer tea trays and boxes of snacks, all of which were dried fruits and candied snacks of various colors, as well as red oranges, oranges and other fruits.

Everyone held a tea talk, but said some housework and human relations.

After eating tea and fruit, Li Wan got up to admire the "Grand View Garden Picture", which stood between the walls and was covered with gauze.Li Wan unwrapped the gauze and looked at it for a while, and there were three stops out of ten stops. There are several beauties in the painting, which are obviously the appearance of Daiyu Baochai and others.

Li Wan's heart moved, he turned back to the sisters and said with a smile: "I have an idea today. It's rare that all the sisters are complete today. Why don't you trouble the fourth sister to color the scene? You sisters decorate the scenery and draw a picture of me and everyone having fun. , Keep it as a souvenir. What do you sisters think?"

Everyone found it interesting and said in unison: "This idea is good, elegant and interesting."

Xichun's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as drawing utensils are all ready-made, and immediately sent someone to fetch the drawing paper, mortar, water pot, stove, etc. for adjusting the paint, and asked the maids of the crowd to tidy up the things.

Baochai finalized the draft, Xiangyun and Baoqin researched green and yellow, picked Dan and mixed powder, Daiyu Tanchun Xichun and others went their separate ways.

Go get busy painting.

Li Wan looked at it for a while, then said to Yingchun and the others: "They can't have this painting for a while, we should also enjoy ourselves."

Li Wen and the others were watching Daiyu and others painting. After hearing Li Wan's words, they laughed and said, "In that case, let's be stubborn."

Yingchun laughed and said, "Shuanglu is boring, why not talk about it by hand."

At present, Xiuyan is playing chess with Yingchun, Li Wan is watching the game from the sidelines, and Xiangyun is playing Shuanglu with Li Wen and Li Qi.

Li Wan looked back at the game, turned around and saw that Xiangyun had won several times in a row, and was joking, when suddenly Xichun came out with a smile and said: "The overall situation of our "Picture of Dispelling the Cold" has been decided. For coloring."

When everyone heard about it, they all came up to the main hall.I saw Baochai and Daiyu adjusting the colors there.

Everyone will look at the exhibition, it looks like a hand scroll.Looking around, starting from the seven paintings in the main hall of Daoxiang Village, brown pavilions and huts everywhere, as well as all the bamboo trees, mountains and rocks, streams and bridges, and all the scenery in the garden.

I saw several thatched huts in Daoxiang Village, and under the hillside outside the fence, there were plots of acres, and a dozen red plums were just blooming in the first frost.

Under the green screen window, there is a book table with a catalpa in the middle, Yingchun and Tanchun are playing a game, Yingchun is holding a chess piece in his hand, his eyebrows are slightly frowned, and he is concentrating deeply.

With a cup of tea in his hand, Li Wan sat beside him and watched the chess.

There is a desk in the west room, Baochai Daiyu and others are painting at the desk, Baoqin is coloring the color, and there is a small servant girl standing by holding tea, and the heat above the teacup is lingering, and the green smoke is curling up.

Although there are still a few places to be polished in the coloring, the eyebrows and eyes of all the people in the painting are like gods, and even the folds of the skirts are fine and lifelike.

The inscriptions and postscripts on the side are written by Tanchun, and they are also graceful and outstanding.

Everyone watched and applauded.

Li Wan ordered someone to pour a glass of wine and serve it, and said with a smile: "You sisters have worked hard, please have a glass of wine, the rest can be decorated another day."

Daiyu and the others were also very satisfied. They all took a sip of wine by Li Wan's hand and said with a smile: "Although there are shortcomings, we have done our best."

Xichun asked someone to put away the scroll, Daiyu took a closer look, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, she said with a smile: "Today's painting can be regarded as the director of Hezhong's family, if I want to paint it so well in the future, I won't be able to do it." .”

Baochai wiped her hands clean, and said to Daiyu with a smile: "Sister Lin likes it so much, I will frame it in a few days after polishing it up, and then send someone to send it. It's right to be a dowry for my sister, how about it?"

Everyone burst into laughter, Daiyu's face flushed with embarrassment, and she wanted to tear Baochai's mouth.

Everyone was laughing and persuading, and they were arguing, and the girls came up and said

A meal has been set in the lotus root Xiangxie. After everyone ate, rinsed their mouths and drank tea, they returned to Daoxiang Village, sat for a while, and then lit the lamps.

But Baoyu came back from the Beijing Palace and heard that all the sisters were gathering in Daoxiang Village. He couldn't help but sighed and said, "Why didn't you call me!" Master come back soon, it's getting late now, the girls are all in the grandma's room, how can there be any reason for the younger uncle to go to the widow's sister-in-law's room in the middle of the night?

What kind of dignity do you have in passing recklessly now?It's not shameful to let people know. "

When Baoyu heard this, his complexion sank immediately, and he ignored Xiren, went back to the room sleepily, and fell asleep indiscriminately.

Upon seeing this, Xiren sighed deeply.

Besides, Baochai and others sat for a while, and when they saw that it was getting late, they went back to their rooms. Daiyu used to live in the west wing of Jiamu's courtyard when she came to Jia's house, and occasionally stayed at Li Wan's place. Today is Li Wan's birthday, so he stayed in Daoxiang Village. Xiangyun also sent all the maids and women back to pick them up tomorrow morning. It was very lively with Li Wen and Li Qi.

The moonlight was very bright that night, and there was no cloud in the sky, just like a piece of delicate satin.

There are two or three stars beside the moon, like beads embedded in satin.

Xiangyun propped up the coffin, lay on the window sill and looked at the night for a while, clapped his hands and laughed, "Interesting, interesting, the moon is about to fall."

Daiyu also looked up for a long while, and said with a smile: "The clouds have all blown away, and the north wind will stop at night. There are scattered stars dotted here and there, just like those Western gems. It's really beautiful."

Li Wan hurriedly said: "It's freezing cold now, take care to catch the cold, come in and sit down."

He also ordered those old women to light the lamps.

At this time, the stove on the pavilion is warming hot milk, and a few corner lamps are lit on the four corners of the porch, and the warm and sweet aroma comes to the nostrils.

For a while, Daiyu Xiangyun drank a cup of milk and washed properly. It might be late at night here for Zijuan and Cuiyu, so she urged them to go to the room to rest. Daiyu was in love with the shadow of the bamboo tree on the window, and if she refused sleep.

Xiangyun became more and more happy. After fulfilling the meeting order, he talked and laughed until Yueying held the mountain, Fang withdrew his fellow, and slept together in Daiyu's room.

The end of Latvia comes back to spring, and it is the time of spring. Daiyu is worried about Gu Zhan's exam, and because of Jiang Yan and Zhang Ying's marriage, she has been in a hurry, and she has never had a good birthday.

The Rong Mansion in this chamber is also preparing for the coming out of the pavilion in the spring, preparing for the dowry, hair, clothes, etc., and it is very busy.

Although most of the dowries of various colors are ready, there are still many trivial things, such as needles, shoes and socks, hand towels, combs and balsam, etc., and they have to be guests.

The list, and the calculation of various expenses for the banquet, etc., Li Wan and Sister Feng were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink tea.

It just happened that the palace examination had passed, Gu Zhan was the first in high school, and Jiang Yan was the No. 16 in the second. Gu Zhan rode a horse and paraded through the streets. Afterwards, the two had a meeting to thank each other for the same year, went to the Qionglin Banquet, and welcomed them home.

Gu Zhan first paid homage to the ancestors in the ancestral hall, and then sent someone to report to Yue's family. Lin Ruhai got the news and hurriedly told Daiyu that everyone in the Lin family was full of joy, and the whole family was happy, and they organized a banquet for guests.

The Jia family also got the news very quickly. Those who were envious and those who were jealous all said that Daiyu was blessed, but Baoyu hated fame and wealth the most, so he didn't take it seriously and felt sorry for Daiyu.

Everyone knows his eccentricity and ignores him.

Then, after the imperial examination had passed, Gu Zhan ordered the editing of the Hanlin Academy, and Jiang Yan was admitted to the Imperial Academy, and he also walked in the Imperial Academy.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day to welcome the spring out of the pavilion.

On the 66th day, Rongfu sent [-] family members including Lin Zhixiao to escort the dowry, a total of [-] loads.

The Feng family kept food and wine for the family, and sent bonus rewards back.

Daiyu Xiangyun and other sisters also arrived, and they came together to add make-up for the Spring Festival.
