Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 220 Poetry club named, Daiyu slightly sour

In addition to "lay", "master", "people".

There are also words such as "Mr.", "Foreign History",

"Gong", "Zi", "Weng",

"Yu", "Qiao", "Old Man" and so on.

They are also commonly used suffixes for numbers.

Mi Fu in the Northern Song Dynasty was named "Haiyue Waishi".

Baoqin is now living in Jia's mansion, and this "foreign history" is also appropriate.

The word "Xiangxue" could have referred to plum blossoms.

Daiyu used it more or less as a joke.

But Baoqin didn't mind it, and accepted it with a smile.

At this moment, Daiyu remembered that Miaoyu had chosen her number, so she also asked:

"Sister, do you want another one?"

Miaoyu called herself a "outsider", she knew it.

Sure enough, Miaoyu shook her head and said:
"Since it is a poem title, I only love those two lines of poems from the Han, Jin, Five Dynasties, and Tang and Song Dynasties, so I don't need to change them."

Shi Xiangyun said curiously after hearing the words:

"Which is my sister's number, tell me quickly and let everyone judge."

Seeing Miaoyu smiling but not speaking, Daiyu explained for her:

"My sister's self-named 'threshold outsider' comes from 'Even if there is a thousand-year-old iron threshold, there must be a bun'"

When Shi Xiangyun heard the words, he looked puzzled and asked:

"Whose poem is this, why haven't I heard it before?"

Daiyu looked at Xiangyun in surprise, and said:

"Fortunately, you have also read a lot of poetry and books, have you never heard of 'Shihu Layman'?"

When Shi Xiangyun heard it, he suddenly realized, and said:

"Ah! It turned out to be Fan Wen Mu Gong. It's strange that I have never read it."

Fan Chengda's posthumous title was Wenmu, and he was one of the four great poets of Zhongxing in the Song Dynasty.

In many of his poems, there are some things that are "like Zen but not Zen, like Confucianism but not Confucianism".

So not everyone likes it.

Especially those girls who love romance the most, many of them have never read his poems.

Only well-read people like the two sisters of the Lin family know a thing or two.

At this moment, Feng Yibo brought Xiangling over.

"Everyone is very interested, are you discussing poetry?"

Originally, he had wine with Jia Lian and Xue Pan in front.

On the way back to the room to change clothes, I saw a lone figure in the shape of a fragrant diamond.

He brought her here.

When everyone saw him coming, they hurriedly greeted each other.

As soon as Feng Yibo entered the door, he heard them discussing poetry and prose, so he smiled and said:
"Last time, I also said that when I had time, I would bring the sisters together to compose poems, and it just so happened that everyone was here today."

"Giggle!"

"Hahaha!"

As soon as his words fell, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then laughed.

Daiyu's face was slightly red, and she was shy and didn't dare to look at him.

Seeing Feng Yibo's puzzled expression, Baochai smiled and said:
"I just mentioned your idea, and now the society has started, and everyone is getting their nicknames."

Li Wan covered his mouth with a chuckle, and followed suit:
"I just said you were not here, so I took over the altar. Now that the rightful lord is here, why don't Yibo come to take the altar?"

Baoyu looked enviously, looking at Feng Yibo who became the center right away.

He was afraid that Feng Yibo would stay behind, so he said in a hurry:

"Feng... my brother-in-law is much more talented than us. If he writes a poem, who would dare to do it?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone also reacted.

If Feng Yibo also participated, they would only become a foil.

However, some people think that if they can see Feng Yibo's poems, it is not in vain.

Shi Xiangyun on the side said excitedly:
"So what, if we can see good poems, we didn't start the club for nothing!"

Only now did Feng Yibo know that they were starting a club, and he shook his head regretfully upon hearing this, and said:
"I have to entertain two uncles in front, and I'm not good at poetry, so I don't want to participate."

As he spoke, he pointed to Xiangling who came over together, and said:

"Xiangling was taught by me, why not let her participate on my behalf."

He brought Xiangling here because he wanted to propose composing poetry.

Now that there is a poetry club, let Xiangling join it.

He still had to go back to the front, after all, the guests couldn't hang there for too long.

Hearing the words, Xiangling waved her hands again and again, and said with an embarrassed face:
"I'm just a toddler in Handan. I'm just doing nonsense. How can I dare to write poetry on behalf of my master?"

At this time Baochai came over with a smile on her face, pulled Xiangling and said:
"On weekdays, you are the best at writing poems, but today it's my fault. How could I have forgotten you, a poetic idiot."

Daiyu was also a little embarrassed when she heard this.

Xiangling taught her yoga, and she also taught Xiangling to compose poetry.

There are too many people today, but Qishe has forgotten Xiangling.

She also said at this time:
"Xiangling, you don't have to write poems for anyone. Baoyu is right. Brother Feng is a talented person. If you join the society to write poems, how can others dare to write poems?"

Everyone asks themselves, although there are also those who consciously read poetry and books.

But compared with the talent of Tanhua, it must be a world of difference.

They nodded for a while.

Daiyu continued to untie Xiangling again, saying:
"He's just making an excuse to put us at ease."

Having said that, she also stepped forward to hold Xiangling, and said:
"It just so happens that we are all apprentices in the poem, and we are just messing around together. If you quickly get an nickname, you will be considered as a member of the club."

Seeing this, everyone also echoed:

"Yes, yes, you should quickly think of another number."

Shi Xiangyun also understood at this time, so he changed his words with a smile:
"Exactly, we are just playing around, if brother-in-law participates, others can't do it!"

Feng Yibo couldn't just leave the two people in front of him alone, so he took advantage of the situation and said with a smile:
"Then I'll go to the front to entertain the two uncles first, you go on, if you need anything, just look for your sister Bao."

"No shortage, no shortage."

"Already excellent."

Everyone said that the hospitality was excellent and there was nothing missing.

At this time Baochai saw Feng Yibo was about to leave, smiled and said:

"Since Master is here, why don't you think of another number for Xiangling before leaving."

This matter is not troublesome, Feng Yibo asked with a smile:

"What nicknames are you all, let's talk about it, so as not to collide with each other."

Everyone reported their aliases one after another, and some of them didn't like to talk, and some did it for them.

Feng Yibo praised them one by one, and then said:

"Xiangling was just taken by me later. Her real name is Yinglian. Why don't you just use this as her name and call her the Immortal Yinglian?"

Xiangling didn't remember her real name at first, Feng Yibo told her.

In fact, Feng Yibo has been asking where her biological parents are.

It's just that the Gourd Temple is long gone, and Zhen Shiyin is also wandering around.

I am afraid that now only Jia Yucun knows where Xiangling's mother is.

But Jia Yucun had seen Xiangling, but he never mentioned it.

Obviously he didn't want people to know about his past.

He didn't want to take the initiative to show others, and Feng Yibo couldn't ask about it.

In order not to be confused about how I knew about his past.

Of course, Feng Yibo was somewhat cautious.

That is, I don't want Xiangling to confess her relatives and go home before they pass the door.

Otherwise, he will have a bad reputation.

If you want to keep Xiangling, you need your parents' consent.

After all, how many innocent people are willing to let their daughters be concubines?

Of course, Feng Yibo never gave up looking for her parents.

He also told Xiangling her real name, presuming that the trafficker had mentioned it.

Now that Feng Yibo took an account for her, he used her real name as an account.

This "Yinglian real person" is also appropriate.

Seeing that Xiangling was satisfied, Feng Yibo wanted to go back to the front.

"and many more!"

Feng Yibo just cupped his hands, but was stopped again.

Daiyu stepped forward a few steps, and said shyly:
"Since the Feng family brother proposed to start the society, but he doesn't want to be in charge, why not leave a name for the society before leaving."

At this moment Baoyu interrupted and said:
"Since the plum blossoms are in full bloom in the courtyard, why not call it the Hanmei Society, which is also in season."

Feng Yibo didn't care at first, but when he saw Baoyu grabbing the words, he smiled and said:
"The poem goes: 'If you don't go through a bit of cold, how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms', and 'the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold', it can be seen that although the plum blossoms are good, there is a trace of sorrow."

Everyone nodded when they heard the words.

These two sentences are praising plum blossoms for being able to endure hardships. Everyone present has never suffered any hardships, and they feel that they do not match the meaning of the Sammei Society.

Especially the sentence "the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold", the whole sentence is:
If you have fields but don’t cultivate warehouses, you will be empty; if you have books, you can’t read them.

Baojianfeng comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold.

Although Baoyu has some talents, he doesn't like reading.

The reading here is naturally talking about serious books such as the Four Books and the Five Classics.

If it is an idle book, Baoyu reads it most happily.

As soon as these words came out, Baoyu was a little embarrassed, and it was not good to pick up on him casually.

I saw Feng Yibo ponder for a while, then smiled and said:
"As the saying goes, 'spring grows and summer grows, autumn harvests and winter hides', it is exactly winter now."

This sentence is from the "Thousand Characters", so everyone is naturally familiar with it.

"When you start composing poems, it is also a process of accumulating knowledge, just like a farmer storing supplies for the winter after harvesting."

Feng Yibo also thought of his recent situation, and he expressed his feelings.

In addition to the meaning of storing supplies for the winter, Dongzang also refers to the dormancy of birds and animals in winter.

Isn't he hibernating like a snake bear now?

Only when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, they will suddenly come out of the hole.

Give the enemy a fatal blow!
Taking into account the season, Daiyu blurted out:

"'Dong Zang Society'?"

Feng Yibo nodded with a smile.

"This is good!"

"Thank you brother-in-law for your encouragement! We must be diligent in accumulating and living up to the name of the club."

I saw everyone chirping, but no one objected.

Feng Yibo said goodbye with a smile and left.

Everyone watched him leave, and it became lively again.

Seeing that Xiangling has an alias, the You sisters are really envious.

It's a pity that although they can know a few words, they are far from the level of poetry.

Clearly not involved in such activities.

Seeing their expressions, Li Wan wanted to help his younger brother to be careful.

Knowing that they are not good at this way, he said:
"You two should also have a separate number, can you help us transcribe the surveillance site?"

Poetry writing is not good, but transcription supervision is still no problem.

Hearing that she could participate, Second Sister You immediately nodded her head in agreement, and said gratefully:
"It's my wish to be tainted with a little bit of Chinese culture. Just let my aunt tell you, we can even serve tea and water."

She needs the approval of others the most, and she puts herself extremely low inside and outside the words.

It seemed a little pathetic.

Third Sister You has nothing to do with this, she replied with a smile:

"Our sisters don't know how to write poetry, so it's best to join in the fun."

Seeing their sisters' expressions, Baochai also smiled and said:
"You two are together in Xiangshan, and you are also sisters. How about one of you being called 'Xiangshan Ehuang' and the other 'Xiangshan Nuying'?"

As soon as these words came out, Daiyu blushed again.

Ehuang Nvying, why not she and Baochai?
Even she and Miaoyu are the same.

But seeing that Baochai didn't mean to imply her, others didn't think too much about her.

Daiyu was slightly relieved, and looked away guiltily.

Look into the distance.

The wife of the main room spoke, and the two concubines naturally agreed.

Li Wan, the head of the altar, patrolled around again, wanting to see who else he had missed.

Seeing Jia Lan and Jia Huan, they are obviously not interested in these poems.

They were all so busy eating fruit that they didn't even lift their eyelids.

Seeing this, Li Wan chuckled and shook his head, then looked at the others.

"Miss Shi, Miss [-], Miss [-], you are the only ones left, what do you remember?"

Hearing the words, Yingchun quickly waved her hands and said:
"We don't know how to write poems, so what do we do with a name?"

Sanchun can actually write poetry.

It's just that Yingchun and Tanchun are not as good as Daiyu and the others.

Speaking of which, the Sichun sisters each have their own strengths.

Among the four arts of literati, Yuan Ying Tanxi corresponds to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Yingchun studies chess records on weekdays, while Xichun devotes more time to painting skills.

The temperament of the two is weak and the other withdrawn.

For things like poetry, one mostly appreciates silently, while the other just watches with cold eyes.

It's not necessary, and I don't want to participate.

Tanchun was usually closest to the two sisters, so he persuaded:

"Even so, it's a good idea."

Tanchun is young and still greedy.

At this time, he was still silently sucking coconut juice.

Seeing this, Baochai also helped and said:
"She lives in Zilingzhou, so she's called 'Lingzhou'. The fourth girl is in Ouxiangxie, so she's called 'Ouxie' and that's it."

Seeing that the two of them did not object, everyone took her as the default.

At this time Li Wan looked at Shi Xiangyun and said:

"Now Miss Shi is left, whoever is good, tell me quickly!"

Shi Xiangyun thought about it for a long time, but now he wondered:

"Although there are several pavilions in our family, I don't live there, so it's not interesting to borrow them."

Having said that, she looked at Baochai eagerly, and said:

"Since Sister Bao is a landlord, why don't you lend me a place to get it?"

Seeing her rascal appearance, Baochai teased her and said:
"Since you said it, I'll let you use it. This is a sloping land. Why don't you imitate Layman Dongpo and call it 'Zhazipo Layman'?"

This is not a random fabrication, this place was originally the slag slope at the root of Beishan.

Daiyu also knew the original name here, so she smiled and cupped her hands and said:
"I've seen 'Zhazipo layman'!"

Tanchun also covered his mouth with a chuckle, and echoed:
"This one is much more unique than 'Dongpo Layman'!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Giggle!"

All the sisters and brothers laughed together, and even Jia Lan laughed along with him.

When Xiangyun heard the words, he refused to obey, stepped forward to hold Baochai, and said angrily:

"Why is sister Bao as bad as Lin girl! I don't want to be a 'Zhazipo layman'!"

Daiyu was covering her mouth and chuckling, dissatisfied when she heard the words:
"Obviously it was Sister Bao who started it, but she said I was bad!"

Suddenly she thought of a good suffix and said:

"By the way, our place is at the root of Beishan, how about calling it 'Old Friends of Beishan'?"

"This is good!"

"Old friends use it well!"

Everyone praised in unison, and Xiangyun felt it was appropriate when he heard the words, and immediately thanked:
"Thank you, Sister Lin, for taking the number for me regardless of previous suspicions!"

Li Wan looked around again, and saw that Jia Huan and Jia Lan had no nicknames left.

Then decide not to take them.

This is not prejudice, but love for them.

Li Wan felt that it was time for them men to study seriously.

If you live with a group of Yingying, Yanyan and Yanyan every day, there is no guarantee that you will not be the next precious jade.

Li Wan didn't wait any longer, so he said loudly:
"Okay, okay! Now we have aliases and club names."

Everyone quieted down and listened to her speech. Li Wan took out the usual pretense of leading the sisters to read aloud, and said:
"Xu Chi is my senior, you all have to listen to my idea of ​​being in charge of the altar, the discipline has said it, and everyone agrees."

"oops!"

While Li Wan was talking, Daiyu suddenly called out softly.

I saw that she said with some remorse:
"I just forgot to let Brother Feng, the initiator, also get an alias."

Baochai pursed her lips and smiled, saying:
"I'll ask him to make up one later."

She meant well.

But as everyone didn't know, after hearing her words, Daiyu suddenly felt a little lost in her heart.
