The Red Chamber: Daiyu's eldest sister is not easy to be

After hearing this, Jia Zheng pondered for a moment and then said: "This plaque and couplet are a difficult matter. Logically speaking, we should ask the imperial concubine to give us the title. But if the imperial concubine has not seen the scenery with her own eyes, it will probably be difficult for her to formulate the title."

But if you wait until the imperial concubine has had a good trip and then ask for a title, you will find the huge scenery, a few pavilions and pavilions without a title, too lonely and boring, and even if there are flowers, willows and mountains and rivers, they will never be colorful. "

All the Qing guests listened to what he said and smiled and suggested: "What the master said is indeed correct. This really needs to be considered carefully.

We here have a humble opinion. The plaques and couplets everywhere are indispensable, and they cannot be named. Now, according to the scenery, or two, three, or four characters can match their meanings, we have drawn them up first and made lanterns for the time being. Hang the plaque and couplet on it, and ask the concubine to name her when she travels. Wouldn't it be best to have both? "

After Jia Zheng heard this, he thought about it again and again and felt that it made sense, so he said: "What you said is not wrong. Let's take a look at it today. We will just ask the question. If it is correct and use it, then there is something wrong. Then we will go and invite Yucun. Come, let him draw it up again."

When everyone heard that he wanted to invite Jia Yucun, they looked at each other without any trace, and said with a smile: "I am the mother's biological father, so there is no reason why my preferences will be different. Once we have made the decision today, there is no need to invite Yucun again."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng smiled and shook his head, saying: "You don't know, I have been mediocre in writing poems about flowers, birds, landscapes, etc. since I was a child. Now that I am old and tired of copywriting, I am even more unfamiliar with such pleasant articles." Yes, even if it is drawn up, it will be pedantic and old-fashioned, but it will not make the flower and willow garden pavilion colorful. If it does not compromise, it will be boring."

After hearing this, all the Qing guests all laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. We can all draft it together, each using his or her own strengths, and keeping the good ones and deleting the bad ones. It's okay."

When Jia Zheng heard this, he felt that this method was good, so he smiled and said: "That makes sense. I think the weather is warm today, so we might as well go for a stroll together!" After saying that, he got up and led everyone to the Grand View Garden.

Seeing this, Jia Zhen went to the garden first to inform everyone.

Coincidentally, Baoyu had been feeling very sad recently because he missed Qin Zhong. Jia Mu often ordered people to take him to play in the newly built garden, so he came in just now.

Jia Zhen went into the garden and saw him. As she walked in, she laughed at him and said, "If you don't go out yet, the master will come."

Baoyu was most afraid of his father. When he heard this, he hurriedly took his nurse and the boys and ran out of the garden. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned the corner, he saw Jia Zheng leading the guests and hid away. Failing that, I had to stand aside.

Jia Zheng recently heard that the master of the school praised Baoyu for his good antithetical couplets. Although he doesn't like reading, he seems to have some crooked talents. Today he stumbled upon this opportunity and ordered him to follow him.

Although Baoyu didn't know what he meant, she could only follow him honestly, for fear of being scolded again.

As soon as Jia Zheng arrived in front of the garden gate, he saw Jia Zhen coming with many deacons and standing by.

When Jia Zheng saw this, he said, "Please ask someone to close the garden doors first. Let's look outside first before going in."

When Jia Zhen heard this, she ordered people to close all the doors.

The first thing Jia Zheng and others looked at was the door. They saw only five rooms at the main entrance. The barrels and tiles above were covered with mud ridges, and the door rails and windows were all finely carved with fresh patterns without vermilion paint. , chiseled into passion-flower patterns.

Looking to the left and right, there are snow-white pink walls with tiger-skin stones underneath, which are built with the momentum. It does not fall into the trappings of luxury and clichés, so I am very happy.

The man who followed the order opened the door and saw a green peak blocking the front.

When all the pilgrims saw this, they all said: "What a mountain, what a mountain!"

Jia Zheng said: "If there is not this mountain, as soon as you enter the garden, you can take in all the scenery. What fun would it be?"

Everyone heard the words and nodded in agreement: "It's very true. How can you think of this unless you have a lot of troubles in your heart?"

Having said that, I looked forward and saw strange and abrupt rocks, standing vertically and horizontally, like ghosts or beasts, with moss spots on them and vines covering them, with a slight trail of intestines exposed in them.

Jia Zheng pointed out and said, "Let's swim from this path. When we come back, we can go out on that side and see everything." After that, he ordered Jia Zhen to guide him, and he supported Baoyu and meandered into the mountain pass.Looking up, I suddenly saw a mirrored white stone on the mountain, which was exactly where I left the inscription.

Jia Zheng turned around and said with a smile: "Everyone, please look here. What is the name of Fangmiao?"

When everyone heard this, some said the title was "Diecui", some said the title was "Jinzhang", some said "Xianglu", some said "Xiao Zhongnan", there were more than dozens of names and colors. indivual.

Although the guests talked lively, they knew in their hearts that Jia Zheng wanted to test Baoyu's achievements, so they said some cliché words to show off Baoyu's excellence.

Although Baoyu is not good at reading, he is somewhat clever. There is nothing he doesn't understand.

Sure enough, after Jia Zheng heard this, he turned back to Baoyu and said, "You can also draw one up and have a look."

Baoyu thought for a while and said: "I heard the ancients say: It is better to recount the old than to compile the new. Carving the past is worse than carving the present.

Moreover, this is not the main view of the main mountain, and there is no need to comment on it. It is just a step to explore the scenery.

It's not as good as the old poem "A winding path leads to a quiet place" written directly above, but it's still generous and elegant. "

After everyone heard this, they all praised: "That's right! My second brother is very talented and far-reaching, unlike us who have read rotten books."

Seeing that he performed well, Jia Zheng smiled and said: "It's not a shame. He is still young, but he is just making fun of him with his knowledge. We will make a decision later." With that, he walked towards the cave. .

Everyone followed closely and saw lush green trees, gleaming exotic flowers, and a clear stream that zigzagged from the depths of the flowers and trees into the gaps between the rocks.

Then we walked forward, gradually heading to the north, it was flat and wide, with flying buildings on both sides and carved sills, all hidden among the treetops of the mountain.

Looking down, you can see the clear stream pouring snow, stone steps piercing the clouds, white stones as railings, surrounding the swamp, stone bridges and three harbors, and beasts holding vomit in their faces.

Seeing a pavilion on the bridge, Jia Zheng led everyone into the pavilion. After sitting down leaning on the railing, he asked everyone: "What would you like to ask here?"

Everyone said: "Back then, there was a sentence in Ouyang Gong's "The Drunkard's Pavilion" that said, 'There is a pavilion with a wing,' so let's write it with the word 'Yi Ran'."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng smiled and said: "Although 'Yiran' is good, there is running water under this pavilion. It is best not to deviate from the water. In my opinion, Ouyang Gong has a saying, 'Xie Xie between two peaks', 'Xie Xie between two peaks.'" 'The word is most appropriate to use here."

At this moment, someone immediately took over and said: "Wonderful, so wonderful, it is best to use the word 'Xie'."

When Jia Zheng saw this, he straightened his beard with a smile. When he saw Baoyu standing aside, he smiled and asked Baoyu to draw one too.

Baoyu thought for a while and then said: "The master just said a lot, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that the word 'diarrhea' is a bit inappropriate. Moreover, this is the villa of the imperial concubine and the queen, so using this word is a bit crude and inelegant. It should be more subtle.”

When Jia Zheng heard this, he smiled and said, "What do you think of this?

Just now, when everyone wanted to focus on the new, you said, "It's better to focus on the new than to talk about the old." Now, when everyone is talking about the past, you said, "It's crude and inelegant." Can you tell me what the question should be? "

Baoyu said: "'Qinfang' is the most appropriate word. Isn't it new and elegant?"

After hearing this, Jia Zheng just nodded and said nothing.
