Chapter 43 The Beginning

What embarrassed Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng was that these inner courtyard mothers-in-law confessed Jia Qiang, Jia Zhen, and Lai Butler from the East Mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian made a lot of money in it, these people saw that she was there with Xing and Wang's two wives, no matter how bold they were, they didn't dare to sue her.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing looked at each other, both frowning and thinking. Although the Lai family is a slave, in the end, they are old people who have been out of the house for several lifetimes, and they are not as good as the current mothers-in-law and stewards in the house. As for Jia Zhen and others in Dongfu, it is not easy to check. After they finished examining these mothers-in-law, they took it down from large to small, and they also had seven or eight thousand taels of silver, so they had to stop it for the time being and make plans later.

Wang Xifeng drank and ordered these mothers-in-law to go back, so that the family could make up for the greedy silver and come to pick up people. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing interrogated all morning, only to feel that their backs were sore and their livers were hot, so they went back to rest and left Wang Xifeng to clean up the rest of the work.

As soon as the two left, a mother-in-law whispered: "Second grandma, I didn't say anything about you, and I begged your old man to keep my job for me, and my family is still waiting for this salary?" The other mothers-in-law begged one after another. Wang Xifeng squinted at them and said, "How big a face do you dare to chew me?" Tell you how to get the money back at home and how to send it back. Don't talk about the rice bowl when it's late, the old ladies take it seriously, and it's hard to say how many more meals you have! ”

The women sobbed and bowed their heads. Zhou Rui's family reluctantly squeezed out a smile and begged Wang Xifeng to ask someone to go home. With her at the beginning, it was much easier to go down. Wang Xifeng arranged for a few servants to come over and run errands for them.

In the Grand View Garden, everyone didn't know anything about this, only Baochai wanted to send Ying'er out to get something, but was stopped by the mother-in-law who guarded the garden, and felt that something was wrong.

Everyone listened to the play with great interest, ate the food, drank the wine, Tanchun got up with a smile and said: "We also watched the play and ate the wine, I have another idea, I don't know if you listen to it or not?" ”

Daiyu smiled and said, "Don't sell well, I'm waiting for you!" ”

Xiangyun took the cup and poured a glass of wine to Tanchun's mouth, and said with a smile: "What are the good ideas?" I've been waiting for a long time! Tanchun smiled and looked at Jia Mu, Baochai, Li Kun and others, and saw that they were all looking over with a smile on their faces, so he said: "What I think is that all of us here can read and write, and the scenery in the garden is good, why don't you learn from those literati and scholars, and also start a club." Let's get together once in a while, enjoy flowers and tea, write poems and couplets, isn't it elegant? ”

As soon as Daiyu heard her speak, she knew that she was going to start a poetry club, and she couldn't help but smile and said, "If you want to talk about the poetry club, I am the first to agree." Not only do I agree, but when I move into the garden, I will also ask everyone to come to my place. ”

Li Kun smiled and said: "This is not good, even if you are the east today, there will be the next time, and I should be the east." ”

Daiyu said: "It's just that if you want to start a poetry club, we are all poets, and we need to come up with a very elegant and chic number, not to be called such a sister and sister." No matter how much the name of the poetry club is, it can't be vulgar and blunt. Everyone bowed their heads and thought hard, and after Daiyu finished speaking, she smiled and talked with Jia's mother.

Li Kun said with a smile: "I will set the 'Daoxiang Old Farmer', and no one will occupy it." Tanchun said: "Then I am the 'Qiu Shuang Jushi'!" ”

Baoyu said: "The layman and the master are not good in the end, and they are cumbersome. There are nothing in the garden, such as sycamores and plantains, or it is better to point to these scenes. Tanchun said with a smile: "As soon as I heard the second brother, I have another one." I like plantain the most, so it's just called 'banana guest'. "Everyone said it was chic.

Daiyu said with a smile: "Liezi said 'banana leaves cover the deer', she calls herself 'banana guest', let's take her to make dried meat to eat." Li Kun and the others laughed.

Tanchun said with a smile: "Don't be busy scolding people with clever words, I have already thought of a very good name for you." He also said to everyone: "On that day, Empress E's tears were sprinkled on the bamboo, and now she is going to live in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion again, and she will be called 'Xiaoxiang Concubine' in the future." ”

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled again, and said: "Our family has a noble concubine, if you want to add an official title, you have to be the 'Xiaoxiang County Lord'." I originally liked the word 'Zhu', but now I have received the kindness of the girl, 'Xiaoxiang'. Everyone nodded their heads.

Then Li Kun took the title of "Lu Wujun" for Xue Baochai, and Baoyu took the name of "Yihong Gongzi", "Lingzhou" for the spring, and "Lotus Pavilion" for the spring, only Xiangyun was in a hurry, and he couldn't think of a proper name, Daiyu whispered to her: "I heard the old lady say in the past, your family originally had a pavilion called 'Pillow Xia Pavilion', now why don't you call it 'Pillow Xia Old Friend'?" ”

Xiangyun listened to it and really liked it, so he thanked Daiyu.

So it was agreed that the old farmer of Daoxiang would be the president, and one of the Lingzhou Lotus Lotus Pavilion would limit the rhyme, and the other would be a recording supervisor, and it was agreed that the first and sixteenth days of each month would be fixed.

Li Kun smiled and said: "In this way, let's discuss it properly, how about opening a club in a few days?" ”

Tanchun smiled: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, how about today?" ”

Daiyu smiled: "Today is good, it's my birthday, I'm afraid you have to write poems to celebrate my birthday." The crowd laughed together.

Daiyu smiled and continued: "According to me, it's okay to open a club today, but there's nothing to sing. When I came here just now, I saw a red cloud in the distance, and I thought it was a plum blossom, so which of you went to fetch it, and sang about it. ”

Li Kun said: "When I came just now, I also passed by there and saw it, and I was about to ask for a few branches to insert the bottle, but I was annoyed that a female nun in the temple who brought out the hair was very hateful. I'm not going again. ”

Daiyu knew that it was Miaoyu, and she also knew that she had a strange personality, so she said: "I think although this Miaoyu has some quirks, she probably loves flowers." I heard my aunt say that her family was originally an official eunuch, but it declined. ”

Li Kun said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I don't know if I can write poems." If any of you is going to ask for an invitation, it's just the same, if she is willing to come, she must come with plum blossoms. ”

Daiyu said with a smile: "I'm going to write a post, who is bothering me to ask for it?" As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Baoyu.

Baoyu was thinking: There was such a down-and-out official daughter in the house, and she was a transcendent person, but she didn't know what her character was. Thinking like this, I suddenly saw Daiyu's eyes fall, as if I had seen through his thoughts all at once, and I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Baochai heard Li Kun say that Miaoyu's temperament was quirky, and she was very unkind, and said with a smile: "Since that female Nifa is called Miaoyu, we also have jade here." Just bother the two jades to invite together. She guessed that Miaoyu probably couldn't be invited, and she wanted to lose Daiyu's face in front of everyone, and embarrass Baoyu.
