Red Mansions Are Floating Clouds

They all agreed, and for a while praised Daiyu that there is no heaven and earth, and even flattered Jiamu that she was blessed, etc.

Jia Mu and the three wives of Xing Wangyou all made up according to their grades. Jia She and Jia Zhen took Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to escort the four sedan chairs into the palace. Among those who were happy and proud, only Baoyu was full of depression because of Qin Zhong's serious illness.

After Mother Jia waited for Xie En to come back, many relatives and friends came to congratulate her.

Because Daiyu's words came true, Jia's mother felt that she was like a cover, and she put her on the tip of her heart. She was always with her everywhere. Beside Jia's mother, Jia's mother always mentioned "two jade children" in her words. Those who saw Daiyu and Baoyu's outstanding talents wanted to be a matchmaker, and understood Jia's mother's idea that the fat and water should not flow to outsiders.

Recently, because Yuanchun became a noble concubine, Baoyu's value has risen sharply. After the queen of this dynasty died of illness, she has never been canonized as a queen. Several concubines in the imperial court jointly manage the **. Now Yuanchun canonized a noble concubine, and she is also a virtuous concubine. The status is the highest, and Baoyu is almost the uncle of the country. Baochai saw the splendor of Rongning and Ningfu these days, and his heart became hot again. He always went to Jiamu's place with Aunt Xue to join in the fun. Madam, every time I greet each other with a smile, I can only change a cold face. I only hate that these people only stare at Baoyu and Daiyu, and never look at me directly.

Early in the morning, Baoyu was called by Jia Zheng's servants to meet the guests in the study outside. It so happened that the fourth wife of the Wang family in Xi'an County brought her two daughters from the concubine, and Mrs. Zhen Guogong took her eldest daughter and niece. Mrs. Wang Ziteng brought her little daughter to Jia's house to congratulate her. Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, etc. all served at Jiamu's place. When Jiamu saw many young ladies, she asked Daiyu and Sanchun to greet them. So, I invited those young ladies to sit in my room with Baochai sitting next to Aunt Xue, and saw that the noble ladies didn't seem to see me, and even Jia Mu seemed to have forgotten her. , went to Daiyu's room, and no one invited her. For a while, I didn't know whether to follow or stay. Fortunately, when Tanchun walked to the door, he turned around and called Sister Bao, and waved again. Busy stand up and follow

There are three east and west rooms in Jiamu courtyard. The west room is where Daiyu lived. Entering from the main entrance is the main room, the bedroom is on the left, and the study is on the right. It’s burning, it’s as warm as spring, and everyone took off their cloaks to see that the display in this house is not a scroll on the front wall of the main room, but a huge meticulous painting of pear flowers, birds and butterflies, with bright colors and delicate brushwork, occupying the front wall of the main room More than half of the house, at a glance, looks as if you are in a painting, all of which are simple rosewood furniture, the ground is covered with sea blue lichen, and the two sides are separated by hollow carved moon doors, and light blue gauze curtains are hung , take a closer look, white twine flowers are embroidered on the gauze tent, fresh and lovely

Daiyu ordered the maids to bring the chairs, and everyone sat down. Zijuan had already brewed the tea, and it was served on a small carved lacquer tray. Coral crystals and other teas were served one by one. It is a fine white porcelain painting of seasonal flowers. The difference is that each teacup is painted differently. This is a set of teapots and cups painted by Daiyu when she was bored. Different from the current ones, this set of teapots and cups are round and simple. It looks cute, and the seasonal flowers painted on it are semi-cartoonized. There are many customers today, so Zicuckoo turned out this set of tea sets and used them.

Wang Ziteng's youngest daughter is only six years old, this is the first time to go out as a guest, because she is the daughter of Mrs. Wang Ziteng who is nearly 40 years old, and Wang Ziteng is proud of his official career, and he also likes this youngest daughter , so she didn't know her innocence in the world, and she was sitting honestly and looking at the wooden carvings of urchins and cows on the side shelf. Said: "Sister Lin, your teacup is really fun, where did you get it, I want it too!" Then he ran to Daiyu and looked at her

Daiyu laughed and said, "It's just that I drew a few pictures and asked someone to bake them. It's not worth anything. If you like it, how about I give you a set?"

Wang Linglong happily said: "Really? That's great!" She seemed to think of something, and sighed, "I can't ask for it. My mother said that I can't just ask others for things. It's very rude."

Daiyu saw that her chubby face was flushed, she was wearing a bun, and she looked very pleasing, but she said these words dejectedly, and couldn't help laughing: "Then did your mother teach you that things that others want to give you should You can’t refuse at will, otherwise it will be very rude.”

Wang Linglong immediately became happy again when she heard this, and Daiyu saw that talking to these people was boring when she was still a child, so she ordered Crystal to take out her stuff and play with her aside

There are children's Tongyan Tongyu, and the ladies are relaxed. The fourth wife of Xi'an County's Wang family brought two concubine ladies, one was born to the second daughter-in-law of Xi'an County Wang's mansion, and the other was born to the fourth wife herself. , are similar in age, they are all cardamom years, probably in the stage of talking about marriage, so they often take them out to socialize. One of the ladies with melon seeds and red phoenix eyes is obviously more outgoing. Seeing that Daiyu ordered the maid to serve Miss Wang well, she smiled and said: "Lin The girl is versatile and has such ingenuity, she is really pure and hearty."

Daiyu smiled and said: "It's just a joke that is difficult to be elegant. If you want to talk about painting, it has to belong to the fourth sister of our family." She pushed Xichun out

The eldest daughter of Mrs. Zhen Guogong is mediocre in appearance but beautifully dressed. If you only look at her alone, you will not think she is a beauty. But look at the cousin next to her, whose figure can only be described as fat. Looking closely at the facial features, they are still dignified, but they are squeezed out of shape by the fat on the face. This combination immediately sets off the ordinary-looking Miss Zhen Guogong into a delicate and beautiful fairy like a painting. In fact, it is Zhen Guogong, It's just that she speaks nicely like Duke Rong and Ning Guo. Now her father's title is the first-class uncle.

No.19 competition

The eldest lady of Zhen Guogong's mansion is called Niu Qianqian. Hearing Daiyu say that Xichun is very good at painting, she covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Miss Jia is so young and talented in painting. She is really a child prodigy." Turning around, he said, "Why don't you draw a masterpiece for us to appreciate?" After speaking, he looked at Daiyu with a smile.

Daiyu saw that she had some provocative intentions in it, so she smiled and said: "The girl doesn't care about these false names, it's just to pass the time."

Hearing this, Niu Qianqian turned to Xichun and said, "Can Miss Jia Si really know how to paint? I really don't believe it." She covered her mouth and giggled

Xichun sneered and said, "Since Sister Shun is so interested, why don't you draw a painting in public first, so that we can appreciate it?"

Baochai hurriedly laughed and said, "Sister Twist's paintings must be good, but it takes a long time to make a painting, why don't we do something else?"

Niu Qianqian knew that Xue Baochai was just the daughter of a ruined imperial merchant, and now she was living in Jia's mansion, without even looking at Baochai, she said to Daiyu, "Then I will borrow Miss Lin's pen and ink."

Daiyu originally wanted to let it go, but seeing Niu Qianqian's confident look, she also wanted to see what was going on, so she ordered to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstone

After a while, Kung Fu Zicuckoo prepared the things to be used. Niu Qianqian saw that paper suitable for various paintings, inks of various colors, and pens of various types were all ready. The pen holder and water bowl on the table The pen holder, inkstone, ink cartridge, etc. are all a set of carved lacquer in various colors, so I picked the paper and pen, and when Xueyan was about to grind the ink, Niu Qianqian said: "I don't need you to wait on me."

Xueyan bowed her head and backed away, the fat girl who had been silent all this time stepped forward, and rubbed the ink carefully, Niu Qianqian said proudly: "My cousin grinds the ink finely and evenly, with just the right shade, how can these girls compare?" Niu Qianqian's personal maid standing behind also had a weird smile on her face

There were all smart people present, and when Niu Qianqian, who saw something strange and would not say it, was splashing ink, two girls from the Wang family of Xi'an County lingered in front of Daiyu's bookshelf. Daiyu didn't bring many books to Rongguo Mansion, but There are also bookshelves covering the entire wall. Some books are hardcover editions with silk skins, some are ancient relics mounted on scrolls, and there are even bamboo slips. In addition to serious books such as the Four Books and Five Classics, most of these books are travel notes, prose poems, etc. , and some are the medical books, medicines, diets, and spells that Daiyu has collected everywhere.

Yingchun set up a chessboard on the kang, and played chess with the lady of Xi'an County Wang's family. Daiyu and Tanchun were watching the battle, and Baochai was still perusing the books on the bookshelf.

Niu Qianqian has studied under famous teachers since she was a child, and since she stepped into the social circle, she has become a well-known talented woman. She is confident that her painting skills are unmatched among the ladies in the capital. Niu Qianqian proudly put down his paintbrush, everyone They all came to look at it, only Xichun was sitting on the other side looking at a pot of plum blossom bonsai on the shelf

When Daiyu came closer to look at it, she saw that the paper was full of spring scenery, and the peonies were both bright and delicate, which was very eye-catching, so she praised: "Sister Twist really lives up to her reputation, it is really a good painting."

Although Niu Qianqian was used to hearing all kinds of praise,
