Chapter 49 of A Dream of Red Mansions

Xiangling saw that everyone was joking, so she greeted him and said with a smile, "Look at this one. If I succeed, I will still study. If it is not good, I will die. " Said, as he handed the poem to Dai jade, etc., I saw it read:

No one can hide the brilliance of the moon. Her beautiful figure is beautiful and her texture is much worse.

Yi Dao's voice came from the vast Ye Yuan, and the rooster crowed at night to stop the waning moon from hanging in the horizon.

Wanderers in Qiu Jiang are more melancholy when they listen to the flute, and the young woman upstairs leans against the railing at the end of the night.

Bode moth should ask, why not reunite forever!

Everyone laughed and said, "This song is not only beautiful, but also novel and interesting. You know the proverb, "Nothing is difficult to a willing mind." You must be invited by the club. Xiangling was incredulous, thinking that they were deceiving themselves, and asked Daiyu Baochai and others. "。

Just then, I saw a few little girls and grandmothers coming in a hurry, all laughing and saying, "We girls and grandmothers don't know much. Grandma, let's get married. " Li Wan said with a smile, "Where did this come from? Whose relatives do you know? " The old woman and the maids all laughed: "Grandma's two sisters are here. There is also a girl who is said to be Miss Xue's sister and a grandfather who is said to be Uncle Xue's brother. I invite my aunt to go now. Grandma and the girls go up first. " Said, and went straight away. Baochai said with a smile, "Can Xue Pan and his sister come?" Li Wan also smiled and said, "Our aunt is in Beijing again? It is a miracle that they can't be together. " Everyone wondered. When Mrs. Wang arrived in the house, she saw people all over the floor.

It turned out that Mrs. Xing's brother and sister-in-law took their daughters to Beijing to vote for Mrs. Xing, but Ann's brother was also in Beijing, and two in-laws came to help. On the way to the dock, I met Li Wan's widowed aunt and her two daughters-Wen Li and Li Qi-who also went to Beijing. Everyone is related, so the three families go all the way. Later, there was Xue Pan's younger brother, Xue Ke. When his father was in Beijing, he betrothed his sister Xue Baoqin to Mei Hanlin's son, ready to go to Beijing to get married. When he heard that Wang Ren was coming to Beijing, he also came with his sister. So all the tourists will come to vote for their relatives today.

So everyone saw the ceremony and said goodbye one after another, and the grandmother Jia and Mrs. Wang were very happy. Grandmother Jia said with a smile, "It's strange that snuff exploded again and again last night, and it ended again. It should have been today. " While talking about some common things, I looked at the gifts I brought, and at the same time, I saved my life. Feng doesn't have to say anything, but she is busier. Li Wan Baochai naturally bid farewell to her aunt and sister. Daiyu was happy at first, but then she remembered that everyone had relatives, and she had no relatives alone, so she couldn't help crying. Baoyu knew how he felt and comforted him.

Baoyu hurried to Hongyi Courtyard and smiled at Aroma, Musk and Qingwen. "You'd better go and see people! Who knew that Sister Bao's own brother was like that? His uncle and brothers have different descriptions of his behavior, but he looks like Sister Bao's brother. What's more strange is that in your adult's family, you only say that Sister Bao is a stunning figure. Now look at his sister, and even two sisters, sister-in-law, I can't describe it. God, God, how many wonderful things you have to give birth to these people! I am a frog in the well, and now I know that these people are unique, but I don't have to look far, just look at the local scenery, and every scene is like. Now I have another layer of knowledge. In addition to these, how many more? " Said, laughing and sighing. Aroma didn't look at him when she saw that he was possessed again. Qingwen and others went to see it early and came back. They smiled and said to xiren, "go and have a look!" A niece of the first lady, a sister of Miss Bao, and two sisters of the first lady are like a handful of scallions. "

Tanchun said nothing, smiled and came in to find Baoyu, saying, "Our poetry club is thriving." Baoyu said with a smile, "Exactly. This is the poetry club you founded in high school, so these people are sent by the devil. But there is only one. I wonder if they have ever learned to write poetry? " Tanchun said, "I just asked once. Although they are modest, nothing is impossible from their situation. Even if not, there won't be any difficulty. Just look at Xiangling. " Aroma said with a smile, "I heard that Miss Xue's sister is better. What do you think of Third Miss? " Tanchun said, "If it's true. In my opinion, even his sister and these people are always inferior to him. " Aroma was taken aback and said with a smile, "That's strange. Where else can we go? I want to see it. " Tanchun said, "The old lady liked it at first sight and forced her to recognize her daughter. The old lady has just decided to support her. " Baoyu asked happily, "Is this true?" Tanchun said, "When have I ever lied!" He smiled and said, "If you have this good granddaughter, you will forget this grandson." Baoyu said with a smile, "Never mind. You should love your daughter more. Tomorrow, it's time for us to set up a club. " Tanchun said, "Miss Lin just got up, and Second Sister became ill again. All up and down. " Baoyu said, "Second Sister doesn't have many poems. What's wrong without him?" Tanchun said, "Let's wait a few days. They are new here. Why don't we invite them? Sister Zibao is naturally not interested in poetry at the moment. Besides, Xiangyun didn't come, and her eyebrows were just right, so everyone was not suitable. Why don't you wait for Miss Yun to come? These new girls are all familiar with each other, and their eyebrows are excellent. Sister-in-law Bao is idle, and Xiangling's poems have also improved. Wouldn't it be nice to invite a full club? Now let's listen to the old lady. Except for Sister Bao's sister, he must have settled in our house. If those three don't stay with us, we will beg the old lady to leave them in the garden. Isn't it more interesting to add a few more people? " Baoyu was beaming and said, "But you know. I have always been a fool, and I like it for a while, but I just can't think of it. "

After that, the two brothers and sisters came to the grandmother together. Mrs. Wang really recognized Baoqin as her adopted daughter, and Jia was very happy. "。 She doesn't even want to live in the garden, so she sleeps with Jia at night. Xue Pan went to stay in the study. Grandmother Jia said to Lady Xing, "Your niece doesn't have to go home. She will stay in the garden for a few days, and then go for a walk. "Mrs. Xing's brother and sister-in-law are having a hard time in the Central Plains. They went to Beijing, and the original battle was that Mrs. Xing managed the house with them and helped them pay for the trip. Hearing this, they were unwilling. Mrs. Xing handed the cigarette to Feng. Xifeng has many sisters and different temperaments in the garden, so it is inconvenient to set up another place. If Xing Xiuyan is unhappy in the future, even if Mrs. Xing knows it, it has nothing to do with herself. From then on, if the days when Xing Xiuyan went to live were not counted, if she lived in the Grand View Garden for a month, Xi 'an also sent some cigarettes according to the rules of the Spring Festival. Xi- feng is a cold-hearted person, but unlike Mrs. Xing and his parents, she is a gentle and painful person. Therefore,-Feng pities his poor family and loves him more than other sisters, but Mrs. Xing doesn't have much theory.

Both Mrs Jia and Mrs Wang like Li Wan's virtue. She is young and respectful. Now that her widowed aunt has come, she won't let him live outside. Although Aunt Li was very reluctant, grandma insisted on not following, so she had to take her and live in Daoxiang Village.

At present, the resettlement is established, but Hou Shizhen, a bowling player, has moved to another provincial and ministerial official and will take up his post with his family in a few days. The old lady could not bear Xiang Yun, so she kept him and took him home. It was fatal for Xi- feng to build another place to live with him. Shi Xiangyun insisted on not living with Baochai, that's all.

At this time, the Grand View Garden is much more lively than before. Li Wan is the leader, and the rest are Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Baochai, Daiyu, Xiangyun, Wenli, Li Qi, Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan, plus Xi and Baoyu, totaling thirteen. Speaking of age, except Li Wan, the oldest, all his twelve people are only15,67 years old, either these three are in the same year, or those five are * * * years old, or these two are in the same month and the two are at the same time, and the difference is mostly a moment and a month. They can't even tell themselves apart, just yelling at each other.

Now Xiangling is satisfied. She just wants to write poems, but she dare not be Baochai. What a coincidence that Shi Xiangyun has come. That Shi Xiangyun is so talkative that Xiangling can't afford him to talk about poetry. She became more and more excited and talked about it day and night. Baochai said with a smile, "I really can't stand this noise. A girl's family tells serious things with a poem for the learned to listen to, but laughs at herself for not keeping her duty. A Xiangling didn't make it clear, but she added you to her pocket, full of what she said: why are you depressed, Wei Suzhou elegant and secluded? There are two ready-made poets who don't know what to do with the dead! " Xiangyun said with a smile, "Who are those two? Good sister, you tell me. " Baochai said with a smile, "Xiangling has a bitter heart, and Xiangyun talks a lot." Xiangyun Xiangling laughed.

Just then, I saw Baoqin coming, wearing a cloak, glittering, I don't know what it is. Baochai asked quickly, "Where did this come from?" Baoqin smiled and said, "Pearl, the old lady found this for me because of the snow." Xiangling came up to have a look and said, "It's beautiful. It turned out to be made of peacock hair. " Xiangyun said, "There is peacock hair, which is made from the hair on the head of wild ducks. It can be seen that the old lady loves you and Baoyu so much that she won't wear it for him. " Baochai said, "As the saying goes,' Everyone has his own life'. He never thought that he would come now, and the old lady loved him so much. " Xiangyun said, "You came to the garden only in front of the old lady. You are laughing, eating and drinking in these two places. When you get to your wife's house, if your wife is in the house, just play a joke on her. There's no harm in sitting again. If your wife is not at home, don't go in. If there are too many people in the room, it will hurt us. " Baochai, Baoqin, Xiangling and Yingying all laughed. Baochai said with a smile, "You have no heart, but you have a heart. Although you have a heart, your mouth is too straight. Our piano is a bit like yours. You say you want me to be your sister every day, but today you want her to be your sister. " Xiangyun looked at Baoqin for a long time and said with a smile, "This dress is only suitable for him, but it is really not suitable for others." Just then, Amber came up and said with a smile, "The old lady told Miss Bao to leave Miss Qin alone. He is still young. Let him do whatever he likes. Go if you want, don't worry. " Baochai quickly got up and agreed, gave Baoqin another push and said with a smile, "You don't know where the blessing came from! Go back and we'll bend you carefully. I don't believe that my children are not as good as you. " While speaking, Baoyu and Daiyu came in, and Baochai laughed at you. Xiangyun said with a smile, "Sister Bao, although you are stubborn, some people really think so." Amber smiled and said, "No one else is really annoyed, only him." He pointed to Baoyu and said. Baochai and Xiangyun both laughed and said, "He is not like this." Amber smiled again: "It's either him or him." She pointed to Daiyu again. Xiangyun is silent. Baochai said with a smile, "Not at all. My sister is the same as his sister. What he likes hurts more than me. What's bothering him? You talk nonsense. What evidence does his mouth have? " Baoyu used to know that Daiyu was a little girl, but recently he didn't know about Daiyu and Baochai. He was afraid that his grandmother would hurt Baoqin, and he felt uncomfortable. Now Xiangyun said this, and Baochai answered again. Re-examining Daiyu's voice and smile is not as good as before, which is in line with Baochai's statement and unhappy. Because I thought, "He was not so good for two days, and now he looks ten times better than others." At this time, Lin Daiyu rushed to Baoqin to call her sister. She didn't mention her last name. She has always been a sister. That Baoqin is young, warm-hearted and intelligent by nature. She has studied reading since she was a child. She has lived in Jiafu for two days now, and her personality is probably known. I also see that my sisters are not frivolous, and they all get along well with their sisters, so they refuse to neglect them. Among them, I saw that Lin Daiyu was outstanding, so I respected her more. Baoyu only stole a look.

Sister Baochai went to Aunt Xue's room for a while. Xiangyun came to Grandmother Jia and Lin Daiyu went back to her room to rest. Baoyu called Daiyu and said with a smile, "Although I can read, I have to know a few words. You are already annoyed by making fun of me. Now that I think about it, there is a sentence I don't understand. You can tell me when I read it. " When Daiyu heard this, she knew that there was an article, so she said with a smile, "Read it out and I'll listen." Baoyu said with a smile, "There is the best sentence in Noisy Jane,' When did Meng Guang take the case of Hongliang?' This sentence is the best. The words' Meng Guang took over the Hongliang case' are just ready-made classics, which makes it difficult for him to ask the interesting question of' when'. When did you answer? Tell me about it. Daiyu couldn't help laughing. "That's a good question. "。 He asked a good question, and so did you. "Baoyu said," You only suspected me at first, but now you have nothing to say. Instead, I left the order. " Daiyu said with a smile, "Who knew he was really a good man? I used to think that he was a Tibetan traitor. " I told Baoyu in detail what I said in "Bird's Nest Disease" because I said the wrong wine order. Baoyu knew why, and said with a smile, "I was just talking. I wonder when Meng Guang will take over Hongliang's case. It turned out that he took the case from a child's mouth. " Daiyu talked about Baoqin again and remembered that she had no sisters. She couldn't help crying again. Baoyu quickly advised, "You're asking for trouble again. You see, this year is thinner than the year before, and it is still not maintained. If you are fine every day, you must be asking for trouble, and crying for a while will end the day. " Daiyu wiped her tears and said, "I just felt sad recently, but my tears seem to be less than those of the old year. My heart is sour, but there are not many tears. " Baoyu said, "You are used to crying and suspicious. Are there any tears? "

Just then, the little girl in his room sent a poncho cloak and said, "The old lady just sent someone to say it's snowing, and she wants to discuss asking someone to write a poem tomorrow." Li Wan's maid came to invite Daiyu without saying anything. Baoyu invited Daiyu to Daoxiang Village. Daiyu put on lambskin boots to pinch gold and dig clouds, a white fox put on red feather yarn, tied on a four-in-one sash with blue, gold, flash and green rings, and put on a snow hat on her head. They walked through the snow together. I saw the sisters over there, all scarlet orangutan blankets and feather satin cloaks. Only Li Wan is wearing a blue double-breasted jacket, and Xue Baochai is wearing a crane suit with lotus flowers and green fighting patterns, which is the icing on the cake. Xing Xiuyan is still a homely old clothes, and there is no cover in the snow. At this time, Shi Xiangyun came, wearing a mink coat with a big head and a big face, a black squirrel lining with a fever inside and outside, a film with a golden orangutan felt and a big mink collar. Daiyu said with a smile, "Look, here comes Monkey. He usually holds a snow jacket in his hand and deliberately pretends to be a little slut. " Xiangyun said with a smile, "Look what I'm wearing." He took off his jacket as he spoke. I saw him wearing a narrow embroidered dragon coat, embroidered with Qiu Xiangse's five colors, a leader inlaid with three colors, and a short coat embroidered with a pink satin fox. He wore a tight bow tie around his waist, a five-colored spike, and a Victoria Christina Hesketh on his feet. He looked more like a man's waist and ape's back than a crane. Everyone laughed: "He only likes to dress up as a boy, but he is more handsome than his daughter." Xiangyun said, "Come and discuss poetry! Let me hear whose owner it is? " Li Wan said, "My idea. I think yesterday's Sunday has passed, too far to wait, but it snowed. Why don't we organize a club, invite them to dinner and write poems? What do you mean? " Baoyu said first, "That's true. It's just late today. If tomorrow comes, it will be sunny and stuffy. " Everyone saw it and said, "Snow may not be good, but it will be good. It is enough to enjoy this night. " Li Wan said, "Although I get along well, I am not as good as Lu Xueguang. I've sent someone to the kang in the cage. Let's hold the stove and write poems. The old lady may not want to come. Besides, we are stubborn and just want to take a message to Girl Feng. One tael of silver is enough for each of you. Send it to me. " Pointing to Xiangling, Baoqin, Wenli, Li Qi and Xiuyan, he said, "Not five, not two sick maids, not four maids on leave. You four send it here, and I have five or six taels of silver in total. " Baochai and others agreed together. Li Wan smiled and said, "I've made up my mind. I'll know when I come tomorrow." After that, everyone chatted for a while before coming to grandma's house. There is nothing to say today.

The next morning, Baoyu worried about it and didn't sleep well all night. He gets up at dawn. When I opened the curtains, I saw that although the doors and windows were still closed, I hesitated when I saw the dazzling windows. I complained that it must be sunny and the sun had already come out. When you are busy, open the window drawer and look out through the glass window. It turned out that it was not sunshine, but heavy snow all night. It will be more than a foot thick, and the sky will still be like a floccule. Baoyu was very happy at this time and told people to get up. After washing and washing, I only wore an eggplant-colored doro fox fur coat and a sea dragon skin baby eagle coat, tied my waist, put on a jade needle and a golden rattan hat, boarded the Shatang Cave, and hurried to Xue Lu Temple. Out of the gate, look around, there are no two colors, the distance is pine and bamboo, but it seems to be packed in a glass box. So I walked down the hill and just walked around the foot of the mountain. I can already smell a cold smell. Looking back, it is precisely in the jade palace in front of Miaoyu that there are more than a dozen rouge-like red berries, reflecting the snow color, which is particularly energetic and interesting! Baoyu stopped to enjoy himself carefully before leaving. I saw a man coming with an umbrella on the beehive bridge. Li Wan sent the wind.

Baoyu went to Lu Xueguang and saw the servant girl sweeping the snow to clear the way. It turns out that this reed snow is widely covered on the beach near the mountains and water. There are several rooms in this area, with thatched eaves and bamboo fences. Open the window and you can fish. There are reeds all around. A bamboo bridge with lotus roots and fragrant flowers is the one that walks through reeds. When the maids saw Dai Li coming in, they all smiled and said, "Just now, we said there was a fisherman missing, but now we have all of them. The girls didn't come until after supper. You are too impatient. " Baoyu had to come back. Just arrived at Qin Fang Pavilion, I saw Tanchun coming from Qiushuangzhai, wearing a big red orangutan felt cloak and a Guanyin pocket, holding a little girl, and a woman behind her was holding a blue silk umbrella. Knowing that he was going to see Grandmother Jia, Baoyu stood by the pavilion and waited for him to come. They both walked out of the garden together. Baoqin is changing clothes in the back room.

When all the sisters arrived, Baoyu only called him hungry and urged him to eat again and again. At last, the first course was steamed mutton with milk. "This is our old man's medicine," said Grandmother Jia. Unfortunately, you children can't eat it. There is fresh venison today, you wait to eat it. " They agreed. Baoyu couldn't wait, so he made a bowl of rice with tea and swallowed it with pheasant and wax gourd. "I know you're busy again today," said Grandmother Jia. "You can't even eat." He called "save the game for him at night", and the wind quickly said "and", just now. Shi Xiangyun quietly argued with Baoyu: "There is fresh venison. Why don't we have a piece and take it to the garden? It is delicious and delicious. " Baoyu couldn't wait for a word, so he asked Xifeng for a piece and ordered the woman to send it to the garden.

After a while, after everyone dispersed, they went into the garden and went to Lu Xueguang. After listening to Li Wan's topic, they can't see Xiangyun and Baoyu alone. Dai-yu said, "They can't go to another place. If they get to a place, how many stories will come out. I must have calculated the venison. " Just then, I saw Aunt Li coming to watch the fun. She asked Li Wan, "How can a brother with jade and a sister with golden unicorn be so clean and beautiful and eat a lot?". They talked about eating raw meat there and talked back and forth. I just don't believe that meat can be eaten raw. " Everyone laughed: "Great, bring it here quickly." Daiyu said with a smile, "It's all Miss Yun's fault. My divination is not much better. "

Li Wan and others hurried out to find them and said, "You two should eat raw food. I'll take you to the old lady's house. I'm afraid of eating raw deer. My illness is none of my business. So much snow, so cold, is a disaster for me. " Baoyu said with a smile, "No, we ate on the fire." Li Wan said, "That's all." When Li Wan saw that his wives had brought iron stoves, iron forks and wire curtains, she said, "Be careful not to cry!" Tanchun said, and went in.

Xi-feng called Pinger to say that she couldn't come because she was busy issuing the annual regulations. Xiangyun saw Pinger, but refused to let him go. Pinger is also a stubborn person. She used to follow the wind everywhere. She smiled happily when she saw such fun, so she took off her bracelet. When three people are around the stove, she has to burn three pieces to eat first. Baochai and Daiyu over there have always been used to it, and they don't feel any different. Baoqin and others and Aunt Li are rare. Tan Chun and Li Wan have agreed to rhyme. Tanchun smiled and said, "Smell it. I can smell the fragrance here. I want to eat too. " Said, and found them. Li Wan also said, "All the guests are here. Are you still full? " Xiangyun ate and said, "I like wine when I eat this dish, and only when I eat wine can I have poetry." If it weren't for this venison, I couldn't write a poem today. Just then, I saw Baoqin standing there laughing in a fur coat. "。 Xiangyun said with a smile, "Fool, have a taste." Baoqin smiled and said, "It's dirty. Baochai said, "Have a taste. "。 It is delicious. Your sister Lin is too weak to digest, otherwise she likes to eat. Hearing this, Baoqin went to eat a piece, and it was delicious, so she began to eat it. At this time, Xifeng sent a little girl to call Pinger. Pinger said, "Miss Shi held me. Go first. " The little girl is gone. For a while, I saw the wind coming in a cloak. She smiled and said, "You didn't tell me you ate such good food!" " Said also gather together a place to eat. Daiyu said with a smile, "Where can we find this group of flower sons? That's all, that's all. Today, Lu Xueguang was robbed and humiliated by Yun Wench. I cried for Lu Xueguang! Xiangyun sneered, "What do you know? "？ It's true celebrities who love themselves, and you're all hypocritical and disgusting. At the moment we are eating and chewing, but when we come back, our hearts and mouths are full. Baochai said with a smile, "If it's not good to come back, just take out the meat and press some reeds crushed by snow, and the robbery will be over. "

Say, eat and wash once. Pinger is missing one when she wears a bracelet. She looked everywhere and found nothing. They were all surprised. Feng said with a smile, "I know the use of this bracelet. You just write poetry, we don't have to look for it. Just do it, we will get it in three days. " Then he asked, "What poem are you writing today? The old lady said that the year is approaching and there will be a few riddles in the first month. " Everyone laughed and said, "But I forgot. Now I am anxious to do a few good things and prepare for the first month. " As he spoke, he went to the underground Kang family, only to find that all the cups, plates, fruits and vegetables had been put together, and the format of poetry' rhyme' had been posted on the wall. When Baoyu and Xiangyun were busy reading it, they saw the title "One scene is connected, five words are rhymed, and two rhymes are limited." The order has not been listed. Li Wan said, "I'm not good at writing poems. I will write three sentences, and then whoever wins first will hang up first. " Baochai asked, "What's the order?" For the ending, listen to the next chapter.
