But it was said that Lin Daiyu was playing with the cousins in the Huangfu with the goldfish in the tank, and used the flower branches to attract them to come together in groups, and surrounded the flower branches to bite. I listened to Huang Qian: "Playing like this is fun and limited, it's better to simply fight a betta fish seriously, and then you can be counted." Everyone immediately said wonderful, and even Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang were excited, and said, "It's time to play like this." He commanded him to bring a basin of fish, a rope and a tool for a dry betta.

Daiyu looked carefully, and in a moment, four sturdy servants carried a large oval celadon basin, the basin was about six feet long, and the widest part was about three feet, and the water depth in it was flush with the basin, about eight to nine inches, and it was placed in the open space in the middle of the house. I saw two big girls, one holding a ball of multicolored silk thread, shaking it casually, unfolding a fishing net, and laying it flat on the surface of the water, and the other took the rope buckle on the edge of the net and fastened it on the earrings of the water basin. Then there are two little maids, each holding a white porcelain jar, there are always twenty or thirty little goldfish in each jar, one jar is red gold, one is pure white body and a piece of bright red on the top of the head, all of which are less than an inch, shaking their heads and tails, swimming and scattering, unusually flexible. At the end, there was a big girl, holding a beauty in her hand, there were many horizontal and oblique, long and short variegated flower branches, there was also June snow, there were also mountain plum blossoms, there were gardenias, there were acacias, there were crape myrtles, there were hibiscus, and fresh wicker branches always hugged into a bunch, the flowers and leaves were intricate, green, fat, red and thin, very pleasing to the eye, but I don't know what it is for.

At this moment, all the ladies surrounded the maid holding the flowers, picked the flower branches, and each of them held them in their hands. Seeing that Lin Daiyu was lagging behind, Huang Qian asked: "Why didn't Sister Lin come to fold the flower branches?"

Huang Rong smiled on the side: "What did the fourth sister say? Sister Lin grew up in the capital, can she still see this? It must be that the gameplay is different." Walked up to Daiyu and told her carefully: "Our family's gameplay is not very similar to other houses, not only to lure the fish into the middle flower basket, but also to pay attention to the middle section - the fish must swim according to the route of the net, if you swim out of the silk line, you must lose first." He gave the crape myrtle in his hand to Daiyu and said, "Although this 100-day red branch is not yet full, it is half sparse and not sparse, it is appropriate to tease the fish, why don't you try it first?"

Lin Daiyu took the flower branch. Huang Rong took another branch of June snow from the flower, glanced at the pot, and said with a smile: "The fourth sister is also a narrow person, relying on her own strength, every time she comes up, it is so difficult to make the cloth." Quickly withdraw this Yellow River Jiuqu and change the word goose line. It turns out that the wire mesh in this pot is not tightly knotted, but a small boxwood bead is strung with seventeen or eight multicolored silk threads, and then combined with bamboo silk buckles and the like, a labyrinth array is loosely bounded on the water surface, and in the middle of the labyrinth array is a round flower basket mouth with a diameter of three inches wide, and a circle of fresh flowers and leaves of various colors is tied with silk thread and silk; and there are two ends of the water basin, each with a square flower basket mouth, but only a single flower and leaf are tied on the top, which are peach blossoms and plum blossoms respectively. At this moment, listening to Huang Rong's instructions, the two big girls standing by the basin hurriedly mobilized the silk threads, and after only three or five times, only the four silk threads at the top of the labyrinth array of the Jiuqu Yellow River remained, which just cut out the straight road from the two ends to the mouth of the flower basket in the middle. Huang Rong turned around and confessed to Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Wang, etc., and then pulled the sleeve of her right hand holding the flower to her shoulder, stood still at the end of the basin, and then nodded to the little maid next to her. The little maid hurriedly used a thin net the size of a teacup to fish a red gold fish from the white porcelain jar and put it in the mouth of the peach blossom basket in front of Huang Rong.

Huang Rong stood for two more breaths, took a breath, and lifted the June snow to the surface of the water a little bit, startled the fish, and rushed forward - the direction was the flower basket in the middle. Just after a while, the goldfish turned around, and Huang Rong used the flower branch to pat on the water surface on the side it turned, and so on two or three times, the goldfish went all the way in the "channel" bounded by the colorful silk threads, and stopped at the middle of the flower basket. Huang Rong stretched out her left hand to grab the sleeve of her right arm, held the flower branch in her right hand and tried her best to hand it forward, until she gently brushed the lotus flower the size of a baby's fist made of silk yarn on the flower basket in June, the lotus trembled, and a layer of powder fell, which immediately attracted the goldfish to rush over and sip: it was a special bait that was wiped in advance. Seeing that the fish had entered the mouth of the flower basket, Huang Rong breathed a long sigh of relief, turned to Lin Daiyu and said, "Why does my sister stand there without moving? Daiyu said: "I wanted to play." My sister had a wonderful posture, so I watched it. When he said that, everyone couldn't help but look at Huang Rong and laugh. Huang Rong blushed, and hurriedly pulled Daiyu to her side, while urging: "Your words are too good, it makes people's faces burn." Hurry up and play one for me to watch. ”

Lin Daiyu couldn't refuse, so she stepped forward as she said. The little maid next to her looked at her, and hurriedly put a goldfish with a red top and a white body into the peach blossom blue mouth. Daiyu learned to take the lead Huang Rong's movements, and took the crape myrtle flower to the water and gently wiped it. The fish was alarmed, but instead of swimming, it went straight to the purple and red flowers on the branches, and its mouth moved and slurred on the edge of the petals, as if it were nibbling on some delicacies. Daiyu slowly moved the flower branches, and the goldfish swam with her. Seeing this, Daiyu was very surprised, so she moved the flower branch little by little, and led the fish all the way to the variegated flower basket in the center of the basin. It's just that when I see that I want to get to the place, the flower branch can't be explored anymore - it turns out that Daiyu is young and not big enough, and although the crape myrtle branch is not short, the length is limited. Daiyu tried a few times, but she only advanced an inch and a half, so she shook her head helplessly and said with a smile: "Ouch, it can't be done now." ”

Huang Wei next to him said: "It's better to break off the flowers on the branches and throw them in front of the fish." ”

Huang Qian hurriedly smiled and said, "Sister Lin, don't listen to her, this is a foul!" While pushing Huang Wei, he said, "I said earlier that the third brother's play like that is not counted, and we don't allow it here." ”

Huang Wei said: "Isn't it just a fun, but you have to follow those many rules?" suddenly laughed again, and said to Lin Daiyu: "Sister's head is not a few inches away, and if you tiptoe, you must be able to get it." While trotting two steps to the side, he grabbed the belt around her waist with both hands, and said, "I will hold you, and you will not fall." ”

Huang Qian smiled: "It's not a foul. It's just that you're not afraid of strangling Sister Lin? Huang Wei thought that this was the case, and sure enough, he held Lin Daiyu's left hand as he said. Daiyu tiptoed, leaned over, stretched out her right arm, and poked the crape myrtle far away in her hand. The goldfish had no branches, nor had they swam away, and were looking for it in circles in circles, and as soon as the flowers arrived, they immediately embellished them, and honestly followed them to the basket of flowers. When the sisters saw this, they immediately applauded in unison.

Daiyu also smiled and moved the color, first thank Huang Qian, and then thank Huang Wei. Huang Wei quietly pulled Daiyu and said, "My sister will help me later." Daiyu nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "Naturally, it can help." ”

So Huang Wei stood at the top of the basin where Daiyu was standing, and asked the sisters, "Who is playing with me?" The sisters looked at each other a few times, and Huang Bei walked out with a tender willow in her hand, stood at the opposite end of the basin, and said, "I'll come." Huang Rong was asked to be the commander again, Huang Li and Huang Qian were about two referees, and under an order, the little maid withdrew the cotton gauze net that held the goldfish at the same time, and Huang Bei and Huang Wei each shook the flower branches in their hands, teasing or chasing, and led the goldfish to the flower basket in the middle of the water basin. When the fish swam to the middle, Daiyu really held Huang Wei's hand firmly, and she stood on tiptoe and leaned forward, holding the hand of the hibiscus flower branch with all her strength, and couldn't help but "go in" and snort endlessly, and blasted her own red golden fish into the flower basket - but the fish was frightened, and when it reached the mouth of the flower basket, it didn't have to stop, and rushed straight forward, but the fish that was facing Huang Bei was so frightened that it turned its head and swam away. The crowd laughed and said, "How can this be counted? ”

Huang Bei said: "Whoever gets the fish to the mouth of the flower basket first will win." My fish is one step slower, and naturally the sixth sister wins. ”

Huang Wei clapped his hands and smiled: "I knew that the fifth sister would let me." He also said, "Also, thanks to Sister Lin's desperate drag, otherwise, she would have to fall into the basin like the last time." As he spoke, he smiled and went to see Daiyu. I didn't want to turn around, but I saw Daiyu panting slightly, and the sweat on her forehead was faint, although she had her cousin Huang Li to help her behind, she was exhausted and unable to stand. Huang Wei immediately panicked, and hurriedly pounced on him and asked, "Sister Lin is tired, why didn't you say it earlier!"

Huang Rong saw that she was in a hurry, but she was even more rude, so she hurriedly went up and pulled it away, and said angrily: "Every time you play, you don't care about anything, and you ask people why don't you say it? Do you know now that you are reckless? Why don't you apologize?"

As soon as Huang Wei heard the truth, he immediately said to Daiyu: "It's me who is not good." Sister only punish-" Here Daiyu Daiyu saw that she was happy before, although it was only a small victory, she shook her head and shook her shoulders, and her smug feelings were clear at a glance, and she knew that she was pure in nature, and she had already felt cute, and at this moment she saw her apologize, and hurriedly said: "My sister has won, and she should be celebrated, why do you talk about punishment instead?" But just now I was afraid that you would fall, so I used a lot of strength - quickly stretch out my hand and let me see, don't break it." As he spoke, he took Huang Wei's hand and took a closer look, and saw that it was really a little red, Daiyu was startled, and hurriedly said: "Sister, do you feel pain? ”

The two of her talking movements, and an old grandmother next to her came up to check, but it was not much of an obstacle, just a short rest. Mrs. Zhang and the others had not yet spoken, and Huang Qian next to her saw that the two of her rushed to take the honey oil paste for the other hand, so she couldn't help but laugh at first, and quietly bit her tongue with her sister, and only said: "I don't know, I'm afraid I think what's wrong." But this scene was exactly the same as the last time she knocked over the third brother's crossbow - just looking at the nervousness on her face, it was exactly the same. ”

Huang Rong and Huang Li smiled silently when they heard this. Huang Bei nodded and said, "There's no way, the sixth sister is so frizzy." Fourth sister, you also look at her more. ”

Huang Qian's face turned red and said, "Who can stand her eccentric." He raised his voice and asked, "Who's coming in the next round?" Then he walked to the basin in two steps. Huang Li smiled when she saw it: "I know that I must be compared, the fourth sister is called the battle, and the second sister is still cheaper than me." ”

The two then stood up separately and instructed the little maid to start. Huang Qian uses gardenias, and Huang Li uses mountain plums, both of which are fragrant flowers, and the dark fragrance is dense between the dances, which suddenly has a unique flavor. In particular, although the skullcap is young, it is tall, with slender fingers and arms, comfortable and calm, lifting, picking, wiping, vibrating, stabbing, brushing, patting, every move is extremely graceful. Others are okay, Du Daiyu saw it for the first time, and then she didn't realize it, and then she couldn't take her eyes off it. Huang Rongyin smiled and whispered in her ear: "The fourth sister loves the word 'dance' the most on weekdays, but in the end, the boudoir can't be moved lightly, and she has to talk about this flower betta fish on weekdays." ”

Daiyu nodded and said: "In the poems of the ancients, it was said that 'Yanran sent the dragon to frighten', but today I see such a betta fish, but there is more scenery of 'brocade scale swimming' and 'fish and dragon diving'." ”

When Huang Qian heard her words, she couldn't help but have joy on her face, and was about to be humble, not wanting Huang Wei to lean on Daiyu's side, so she suddenly laughed and said, "That's right, it's the koi, that's why it's good-looking." If you catch some willow leaves and wear strips, the four sisters will dance again, become rows, and send green, but it will be majestic and inappropriate. Huang Qian's face suddenly turned red, and Hua Zhi also skimmed, jumped over and twisted her mouth, and said, "Even if you read a few articles, come and send me crookedly!" Huang Wei was so frightened that he sighed, hurriedly dodged and begged for mercy, and turned around behind Daiyu, Huang Rong, and Huang Li. The sisters immediately laughed and laughed.

Her sisters joked, and Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Wang, Hong, and Chai saw it clearly, and they all laughed and let them play, and only shouted to stop after a while. Chai said to Mrs. Tai and the two sisters-in-law: "Tomorrow's drama troupe and juggling team have arrived, and they also have martial arts boys and dancers who have practiced since childhood. Mrs. Zhang smiled: "This is good." Just according to your word. Ask your second sister-in-law to come too, and urge her sisters to change their clothes and come over quickly. Chai went out and ordered the arrangement.

After a while, the class leader led two red-clothed dancers and four Tsing Yi students to come in, kowtowed to everyone in the hall, and led Mrs. Zhang to instruct, "No matter what, just fight to look good", shaking up the spirit and doing all kinds of tricks. Its thrilling and graceful*, the people of the direct sect were dizzy, from Mrs. Zhang, to the maid, the grandmother, and the little maid who did not leave a head on the doorstep, and finally couldn't help but make a big splash. Mrs. Zhang ordered a generous reward for money and food, Fang Ling slowly retreated, and said to everyone: "It's a pity that your lord and brothers are not here, otherwise, there will always be three or five articles and poems." ”

Hong Shi smiled: "Why do you have to ask them? The old lady writes poems and essays by herself, isn't it a casual thing?"

Mrs. Wang also said: "That's exactly the truth. Needless to say, in our family, there is an old lady alone, who can stand up to their brothers to go out together. ”

Mrs. Zhang laughed and said, "You coax me again." How can these people who have not written essays for ten years still be able to hold down the younger generations? But as soon as they have said it, they will do their homework -- they also know how to fight fish, and let them count one of them, and they will all take the topic and write it at home. The day after tomorrow, the morning before the meal will be collected, come together to evaluate the superiority, who is at the bottom, and then our ladies and daughters in the Qingliang Temple and their entourage will be called out for a few days! Mrs. Zhang said, "If you girls can write it, you can write it." There is someone who can surpass the boudoir and be better than her father and brother, and I let her take my set of "Poetry Collection Money" with her. The crowd became more and more interested. As for who can win the championship this time, and what will be the situation of the family banquet the next day, and see the next breakdown.
