The Lin family has a female named Qingyun [Red Mansion]

After obtaining the foreign language documents, Lin Qingyun had something to do.

I have read "The Merchant of Venice" before, but I read it carefully from beginning to end before starting to translate it.After all, this place is not as good as modern times, there are no reference books, and all languages ​​have to rely on the knowledge reserves that Qingyun himself has learned.Qingyun used to be good at English when he was studying, but when he read foreign books, he only got a general idea, and he hadn’t touched it for a year or two, so he was not very sure. Who would have thought that after reading the general book, except for a few words, everything else could be translated .Thinking of the miraculous golden lotus seeds in her hand, she guessed that a clear mind and fresh memory were also one of the benefits of time travel.

After dealing with trivial matters at home every day, pay attention to the progress of the library, and spend the rest of my free time on translation.

On the eighteenth day, Lin Qingjun finally finished translating the book, and the girls around her were already curious, and now they all gathered around to ask her to tell the story in the book.Especially the two Bailing and Thrush, because they are the big maids by her side, they are quite decent, and because of their lively personality, she is not a strict master, and she is never restrained in private, and she has been begging for a long time.

"Girl, tell us quickly, we have long wanted to know the stories of the foreigners."

"I'm afraid you may not understand it even if I tell it." It's not that Qingyun is perfunctory and unwilling to tell. The national conditions are different, the social background is different, and there are many words and deeds of the characters in the story that make them unbelievable.But after thinking about it, they just wanted to hear something interesting, so there was no need to delve into it so much, so they said, "Since I want to hear a story, I'll tell you a story."

Just about to start, the little maid Tao Xiang came in: "Back to the big girl, the girl is back."

"Sister is back?!" Qingyun was very surprised, but she was so happy that she couldn't care less about why Daiyu came back without saying hello. She hurriedly put the book on the table, got up and walked out.

Before leaving the hospital, I saw Daiyu coming in front of me.

"Sister Qingyun."

"Why didn't my sister send someone to tell me first when she came back, so that I can get someone to pick her up." Qing Yun was afraid that she would be wronged at Jia's house, so she looked at her carefully, seeing that her face was rosy and her expression was the same, so she was relieved.Earlier, she gave Lin Ruhai and Daiyu each a golden lotus seed, because it was crushed into powder and taken in divided doses, the effect started slowly.In addition, although most of Daiyu lived in Jia's house, she specifically asked Mother Zhou, Zijuan Zhuyun and others to keep a close eye on Daiyu's food, sitting and sleeping. After years of recuperation, even though she looks slender and coquettish on the outside, she is actually no different from ordinary people.

"Where is it so troublesome, besides, I want to surprise my sister." Seeing her doubts, Daiyu smiled narrowly, "Could it be that my sister forgot what day will be two days from now?"

Qingyun was taken aback for a moment, then remembered after thinking about it, and couldn't help laughing: "If my sister hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten it, but it was my birthday. Did my sister come back to celebrate my birthday with me?"

June [-]th was Qingyun's birthday, and she did not forget that Uncle Chen said earlier that the library was finished. After her inspection, she set a date for the opening, and she chose June [-]th.The reason why Daiyu didn't think of it until she mentioned it was because she didn't take her birthday to heart, and she didn't think about it. She originally planned to send someone to pick up Daiyu tomorrow and go back to the library to watch the excitement.

"Sister is really a noble person who forgets things." Daiyu entered the room with her arm in his arms. Bailu had brought tea, but Daiyu didn't drink tea yet, so she said to her, "Although my sister's birthday is not a big deal, I do. I thought about inviting the sisters to come and have fun for a day, on that day my sister doesn’t have to worry about everything, I will take care of things, and my sister can just enjoy the day.”

"Then I will take my sister's love." Although Qingyun is still in the filial piety period, she used to eat at the same table with the Lin family's father and daughter when she was in the Lin family, but half of them were meat and half vegetarian, so I invited my sisters over on my birthday It's not a big deal.

"Hey, what kind of book is this?" Daiyu accidentally saw a book on the desk, because the title page of the book was obviously different from that of ordinary books, so she picked it up curiously, and was suddenly surprised: "It's actually in Western languages! My sister is so knowledgeable that she can understand foreign language?"

"I learned it from a missionary when I was young. I just read the books I borrowed from Father Anderson's church to pass the time." Qingyun only explained in a general way. Seeing that Daiyu seemed very interested in this, she went He took out the translation and handed it to her: "This is my translation. Some words are not translated correctly, so I still write in foreign language and plan to ask the priest to complete it, but it will not have a big impact on the smoothness of the story. If my sister doesn't mind , just flip through it at will.”

"Sister is really amazing, she can turn out foreigners' books." Daiyu was really surprised. Although she had seen foreign documents in the past, she couldn't understand them at all. Occasionally, she heard about foreigners from some miscellaneous notes or other people's mouths, and she was very curious. After reading this book, my son couldn't bear it long ago, and couldn't care less about talking to Qingyun, so he started to read it with his hands.However, before reading a few sentences, Daiyu was surprised again: "The book written by a foreigner is like this? The whole text is..."

Daiyu is not surprised by the genre of drama. After all, there are many drama scripts in this dynasty, which are not much different from drama.What surprised Daiyu was the way the foreigners spoke, the language was so straightforward, it even made people blush. □□People are more reserved and introverted than foreigners, not to mention old friends, it is hard to avoid the fact that foreigners are now frankly talking about their love and it is difficult to adapt.

Qingyun said with a smile: "foreigners are different from us. Look at the clothes foreigners wear. Those women don't go out of the door like us. Sometimes I'm envious when I think about it. I can walk around freely outside, I don't know. What a beautiful view to see."

Daiyu tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded in agreement: "Yes, I used to envy those literati who could visit the mountains and rivers at will and write down countless famous sentences through the ages. His vision is too narrow." Then he pursed his lips and smiled: "This foreigner's play is somewhat interesting, but the name is too long and too difficult to pronounce."

"Their first names come first, and their surnames follow. The book is short. It is said that there is a Christian name in their real names, which was chosen by the priest, but they are not commonly used."

"Sister knows a lot." Daiyu was naturally curious about foreign countries across the ocean.

"If my sister is interested, then I will stay at home for a few more days. The opening of the library is scheduled for the [-]th. I planned to take you to see the excitement. Since I have invited my sisters, I will postpone my visit by one day. At that time, I took my sister to the church to have a look, there was a small library with many books in it.”

Daiyu's eyes sparkled when she heard this.

Qingyun didn't disturb her reading, took out a new paper, and copied the translation again.One copy of these translations should be given to Father Anderson, one copy should be kept with him, and one copy should be kept in the library.

Daiyu's reading speed is not slow, and the whole "The Merchant of Venice" is not long, and she has finished reading it by dinner time.However, I just read it once, and I was a little greedy because of the plot. In addition, the social background is different, and some places are confusing.After dinner, Daiyu specifically questioned Qingyun, but the two of them deviated from the topic while talking, and talked about Western news all night, and didn't go to bed until late at night.

The next day, Daiyu read the book carefully again, and said with emotion: "This father is too stingy, he values ​​money too much, he is more important than his only daughter."

As for the elopement inside, Daiyu felt that the two dared to pursue happiness, but also felt too ashamed, and her psychology was very complicated.Thinking that the background of Lin Qingyun's story is the Renaissance period, and the customs and customs of foreign countries are different from those of this dynasty, I can't help but feel a little bit of longing.Which boudoir daughter does not cherish spring, that is, she has no one to admire, and no one hopes to have a husband-in-law, three wives and four concubines who will be with her for life.No matter what Chinese people say that foreigners are barbarians, there is one thing that is admirable. Those countries of foreigners practice monogamy, and even a woman can be the queen of a country. Compared with this dynasty, it is a bit sad.

On the twentieth day, Wang Xifeng came with Sanchun Baochai, and even Jia Baoyu came together.

Naturally, Uncle Chen would not let Jia Baoyu enter the second gate, but Jia Baoyu wanted to see Sister Lin, how could he go back after entering the Lin family gate, so he begged Wang Xifeng repeatedly.Not to mention the embarrassment of Sanchun, even Wang Xifeng felt shy under the gaze of the servants of the Lin family, but in Jia's house, everyone knew how to guard against men and women when they were away, but there were never any foreign men and women in the banquet at other houses. The truth of the place.

Then the egret and the azalea came out.

Bai Lu glanced at Jia Baoyu, smiled at Wang Xifeng and the others, and said, "Second Grandma Lian and the girls are doing well. Our girls are arranging the banquet and can't get away for a while, so let me welcome some distinguished guests."

"Then Baoyu..." How could Wang Xifeng and others not understand that the Lin sisters didn't come out because Baoyu was here to avoid suspicion.That's all for Lin Daiyu, but Lin Qingyun is only one year older than Baoyu. Whether they are related or not, how can they get together again?

Zijuan said: "The girl asked me to come out to entertain the second master Bao. The second grandma Lian and the girls just don't worry." Then he said to Baoyu who still wanted to see Daiyu: "Second master Bao, our girl said that if Second Master Bao dislikes the bad tea and food in our house, next time the girl will not dare to invite Second Master Bao to the door."

"I just want to see Sister Lin, how is Sister Lin these days?" As soon as Baoyu heard this, he knew that if he didn't follow Daiyu, he would be angry, so he didn't dare to make trouble anymore, but he was not reconciled.It's not like he doesn't know how to guard against men and women, but he's used to messing around with his sisters since he was a child. Once someone tells him these rules and asks him to abide by them, it seems to separate him all at once, and each other becomes icy and cold.He has been close to Daiyu since he was a child, how can he bear it.

Zijuan knew the temper of the Second Master Bao, but she also knew that Zhou Nanny's words were more important. After all, the reputation of the girl's family was more important than anything else.She served Daiyu with all her heart and only wished for Daiyu's well-being. She knew that the Jia family's rules were not right, but she was absolutely not qualified to speak as a servant, so the only thing she could do was to guard Daiyu.

Zijuan sighed, and seeing Baoyu's sad face, she couldn't help laughing: "Second Master Bao, today is our eldest girl's birthday, and the girl has been looking forward to this day to make the eldest girl happy. If you make trouble today, girl She must be unhappy. The girl specially asked someone to prepare another table, which is the food that Second Master Bao likes to eat. Although the eldest girl did not invite the theater troupe because of her filial piety, she also prepared a pastime for Second Master Bao to pass the time. The second master comes with me."

Hearing these words, Jia Baoyu became happy again: "I knew that sister Lin would not forget me." Then he left with Zijuan.

"This Baoyu looks like a child." Wang Xifeng shook his head and sighed, and led the sisters into the second gate.

Xue Baochai looked at Baoyu's back and sighed slightly.Everyone can see Baoyu's heart towards Lin Daiyu, but although he treats her well, he is always polite.Moreover, although Baoyu is intelligent, he doesn't like to study, and doesn't like to work hard on serious articles. He even satirizes that people who study and become officials are national thieves and beetles. What achievements will such a temperament have in the future?And she...
