The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Now that the name of the poetry club and the title of the poem have been determined, it is time to come up with the title and limit the rhyme.Since Ning Shan came up with the most important topic, she refused to intervene in other matters.

When the girls saw him resigning, they were all very interesting, and they discussed among themselves. Baochai was the first to come up with an idea. For several topics, there are two characters: one virtual character and one real character. The real character uses the word 'chrysanthemum', and the virtual character uses Tongtongmen. This is also a chanting of chrysanthemums and a Fu deed, which has not been done by the predecessors. However, it can’t fall into the trap. Isn’t Fu, Scenery, and Object both closed, fresh and generous.”

Everyone clapped their hands and applauded, Ning Shan also took an extra look at Baochai, thinking, this girl is indeed knowledgeable and talented.It can be seen that there are poems and books in the abdomen, and it is no wonder that just looking at the appearance and appearance, it is not like those petty merchants.

Daiyu became interested when she heard Baochai's proposal, and she was the first one to say, "In this case, I will mention one first. You listen to it, and use Baoyu's vulgar company name that cannot be vulgar—"Yong How about "Chrysanthemum"? This is what the predecessors have done a lot, so let's see who can write something new today."

Yingchun smiled and said: "I guess you probably already have a good sentence, so I'll mention one too—how about "Chrysanthemum Shadow"? Although I wrote a poem about chrysanthemums today, there were no chrysanthemums, so I remembered the image and wrote a poem." Right." This sentence brought back memories in Ning Shan's heart, and she couldn't help laughing: "Your sentence brought out two topics, so let's add another "Recalling Chrysanthemum"."

Xichun said: "Hey, should the word 'chrysanthemum' be placed in the front or the back? I'm a little confused."

Baochai said: "It can be placed in the front or back, as long as it is a false character."

Xichun said: "Then I will make "Painting Chrysanthemums." Everyone laughed: "I should have thought of it earlier, she must choose this one."

Baoyu liked the poems of her daughter in the boudoir the most, and said after hearing the words: "The painting is not as good as the real one, it is better to write a "hairpin and chrysanthemum"."

Daiyu rolled his eyes at him, and said: "Who will supervise the field today? There must be a rule. If the General Protecting the Nation is present, you can't write in high spirits, and you are not allowed to bring out the words boudoir."

Ning Shan smiled and said: "What general, today is just a big brother, you can enjoy yourself, don't worry about me."

Yingchun heard what he meant, and she was unwilling to accompany the girls to compose poems together, so she took the initiative to say: "Let's draw up ten topics, and whoever can do it will do whichever one. It doesn’t matter if you do it, if you can’t, just write a poem. But if you finish it all, and there are still people who don’t do it, just drink as a punishment.”

Tanchun then asked: "Then how do you limit the rhyme? How many words should you make? Is it a verse or a quatrain? There must be a rule."

Yingchun, who has been talking a lot today, said, "You might as well make seven-character verses, which are the most common and not so weird. As for the rhyme," said to a maid, "Just say a word."

The maid was leaning against the door, so she said the word "door".When Yingchun heard this, she couldn't help frowning and said, "It's '13 yuan', which is not good."

Baochai hurriedly laughed and said, "I don't even have a rhyme card box, so what kind of rhyme is limited, why not be more casual."

Yingchun also felt that she had made a mistake, she smiled and nodded towards Baochai, and said, "Sister Bao is right."

Baochai also smiled at Yingchun and said, "I don't like restricting rhymes the most in my life. There are obviously good poems, so why bother to be bound by rhymes. Let's not learn from that small family school. It's because everyone occasionally gets good sentences for fun, not It’s hard for people to do that.”

Daiyu also said: "It's very good, but ten are not beautiful after all. It's better to make up twelve topics and copy them together. Everyone chooses their favorite ones to write."

So I brainstormed, and in a short time, I listed twelve topics and tied them on the wall with needles.Ning Shan's eyesight is very strong, and she can see clearly even from a distance, only to see that the title of the poem was transcribed by Sannian Tanchun, who is said to be the best handwriting among the crowd, with extraordinary wrist strength, exquisite brushwork and style.The first one is "Recalling Chrysanthemum", which was mentioned by Ning Shan, everyone respected him, so it was written first.

The second is "Visiting Chrysanthemum". Baochai also explained: "If you can't remember it, you can visit it. If you can get it, you can plant it." Therefore, the third is "Planting Chrysanthemum", which Baoyu thought of. Hairpin chrysanthemums for the girls, thinking that only the ones planted by oneself are noble and elegant, so he came up with this topic, but no one wanted to listen to his wish.Jumping directly to the fourth song, which is "Double Chrysanthemum", Xichun said: "I am more than happy with each other, so I folded it to offer a bottle for fun." In fact, I want to say that I can paint after enjoying it.

Therefore, the next three songs are "Gongju", "Song of Chrysanthemum" and "Painting Chrysanthemum".Xichun was very happy when she saw this, and before everyone finished reading it, she picked up a pen and ticked off "Painting Chrysanthemums", and wrote the word "xi" underneath, and then ran to the shade of the tree by herself, It's called thinking, but it's actually observing the two sweet-scented osmanthus plants. My mind is still full of thoughts of painting.

Everyone saw that she was very cute and didn't restrain her. They just smiled and let her interrupt for a while, then continued to read, and then two more songs, "Ask the Chrysanthemum" and "The Hairpin Chrysanthemum".After that, there are two songs connected together, called "Chrysanthemum Shadow" and "Chrysanthemum Dream".In the last volume, "Remnant Chrysanthemum" is used to summarize the prosperity of the previous title, which means that there are all the wonderful scenes and wonderful things of Sanqiu.

Ning Shan looked at it and nodded secretly, thinking: The talents of these girls are indeed not inferior to those of his sisters in the previous life, but the world is different now, and now the world has a lot of restrictions on women. No matter how good their poems are, they can only write poems. Playing in the boudoir, once it spreads, it will definitely be criticized, but it is a pity for such a talent.

When Tanchun came up with the idea of ​​a poetry club, he wanted to say that since everyone has opened a poetry club and has become a poet, they should change the words of these sisters, uncles and sisters to make it look good.However, Ning Shan was present today, she was afraid of saying the wrong thing, and she would be disgusted if it was too bad, so she didn't mention it again.On the contrary, Ning Shan suggested: "You don't need to use your own names to write poems, you don't have to use aliases, or write the title of the poem on the manuscript. Only you know it, and you are not afraid of others reading it. Don't worry?" Baoyu knew all over the capital that the poems of the girls in the Grand View Garden had been handed down, and Ning Shan had heard of it, too. He didn't want his sister to be mistreated like this.

Yingchun smiled and said, "Sister Lin and Sister Bao won't mention it, but the third sister is fine, but Xi'er and I don't know how to compose poems, so what are we doing for nothing?" She couldn't figure it out for a while. , I just feel that my poems are really not worthy of the title of a poet.

Ning Shan smiled and patted her head, looking at the more lively Yingchun, she couldn't help but think of her little sister in her previous life, the youngest legitimate daughter in her family, who was deeply loved by the family, and was taken into the palace by Empress Dugu to be raised for several years when she was young. When she grew up, even Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty praised her as the most beautiful woman in the Sui Dynasty, and she was made a princess when she was young. She was the well-known princess of Ningke in the Sui Dynasty.She is innocent and playful at home, but strong and decisive at home, even the daughters of Emperor Sui Yang are not as good as her.

Thinking of the little girl who had no chance to see her again, Ning Shan said to Yingchun: "You can take my surname and name it as Ning Ke." As she said that, she picked up a pen and wrote under Yingchun's chosen title of poem "Chrysanthemum Offering" Write a word "Ke".

Although Yingchun didn't understand the true meaning of it, she was very excited, her cheeks blushed, making her even more beautiful.The few girls who have older brothers but don't receive such preferential treatment - Baochai, Tanchun and Xichun all look very envious.Lin Daiyu felt sorry for herself early on, and was extremely miserable.

Xichun whispered: "I also want to borrow my sister's time to start a poem, okay?"

Yingchun looked up at Ning Shan, wondering if he would let Xichun take advantage of this.Ning Shan smiled and said: "You are not afraid that your father and brother will be angry, so I will lend you my surname."

Xichun flicked her pigtails, and said cheerfully: "My father doesn't care about me anymore, my brother is afraid that I won't be close to Brother Ning. Then what should I call Ning? Tranquility? Ning'an is a good idea, but the word is correct No." As she spoke, she looked at Ning Shan expectantly.

Ning Shan thought about it for a while, and said: "If you say that your father and brother don't mind, it's not very good. Fortunately, it's a poem title, and you don't use it elsewhere. In the future, when you reach Ji, your father will naturally pick out the words for you. Then let’s call him Ning Hong for the time being.”

Xichun asked which word it was, ran forward cheerfully, took a pen to tick off the word "xi" and replaced it with the word "琋", happily stood beside Yingchun, and whispered, "I will call you sister Ke from now on. How are you?"

Yingchun also chuckled softly: "We call it that in front of outsiders, so that people don't know the name of the baby. If it's just a girl next door, it's fine. I'm afraid that there will be someone who is so fast-talking. It's not good to tell the brothers. It's gone." These words brought two people together at the same time——Baoyu and Xiangyun, both of whom were open-mouthed.It's just that Xiangyun can only talk at home at most, and it's the young masters of the Shi family who know the names of the girls of the Jia family. of poetry.

Daiyu's eyes were filled with envy, but she also knew that she could not be relied on no matter what, so she casually wrote the character "愉", which was originally the character that Baoyu insisted on giving her when she first entered Jia's mansion. Called out somehow.Now she didn't have the time to think about it, so she wrote it down.Daiyu, who was still young under the nurturing mother, didn't know that women's characters could only be picked up by their father or husband after they reached the age.

Baochai followed and only wrote the word Xue, and she had no reason to go after Ning Shan to name herself a poem, nor was she in the mood to envy Yingchun and Xichun.Brother and brother are different. She has understood this truth since she was a child.After all, Quan Jinling, there is no idiot more stupid than his brother Xue Dazi. Even her father gave up on this son before he was alive, and only wanted to teach her, and tried to arrange for her to be selected into the palace. He didn't expect her to be so glorious in the future , I only hope that at least the brand of Huangshang can be kept, so that the Xue family, which is at the end of the four major families, will not be completely defeated.

Tanchun glanced at it, and said, "Sister Bao, you're wrong, at least think of something else, it's better than just writing your surname."

Baochai said, "Then you have it?"

Tanchun smiled and said, "I live in Qiushuangzhai, so I'll be a 'qiushuang layman'."

Baoyu finally had a chance to intervene, and shook his head again and again, saying: "Layman and master are not suitable after all, and they are cumbersome. I think you have all the sycamores and plantains, or it would be better to start with sycamores and plantains."

Tanchun thought about it, and said with a smile: "Yes, I like plantains the most, so I'll call them 'bananas'." Everyone said it was unique and interesting.

Du Daiyu laughed and said, "You guys take her there quickly, and have stewed preserved meat to eat wine." Everyone was puzzled.Daiyu said with a smile: "The ancients once said that 'the banana leaves cover the deer', and he called himself 'the guest under the banana'. He is not a deer anymore? He will soon make a preserved deer." Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Tanchun smiled and ran over to pinch her cheeks, and said, "Let me see what this mouth is made of, how can people love and hate it?" Daiyu smiled and hid in Yingchun. behind.This was originally a habitual action. She lived in Ronghou's mansion for several months, and her relationship with Yingchun was like a sister, so she instinctively threw herself behind Yingchun without even thinking about it.But she forgot that it was Ning Shan standing behind Yingchun, she couldn't stop in time with her pounce, and she was about to bump into Ning Shan.

Yingchun exclaimed, Ning Shan had already supported Daiyu's arm with lightning, and at the same time turned her body slightly to prevent Daiyu from sticking to him.Just because of the angle and the obvious height difference between the two, in the eyes of others, Daiyu still crashed into Ning Shan's arms.
