Chapter 220: Returning to the Province (4 - Writing Poems)
The banquet of the concubine is not too descriptive.
She sat alone, and Sister Feng, Li Kun and others held the spoon.
Mother Jia, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang sat at another table to accompany each other.
Jia Baoyu and the sisters sat down again, but there were only a few snacks and tea on their table, and there was not even a single dish.
In other words, they don't even have the qualifications to eat with Yuan Chun. Moreover, this is not the arrangement of the poor people in the palace, but the arrangement of the Jia Mansion itself.
Yuan Chun obviously had no interest in such a feast, and only ate a few bites before ordering it to be withdrawn.
So the Qin family personally brought the urn, Yuan Chun rinsed his mouth, and then Yuan Chun ordered the four treasures of the study room, and chose the place he had seen before, and gave the name and association to his favorite.
There are Fenglaiyi (note, these are just plaques on the door of the main house in the Xuan Pavilion, not the name of the place) because of the many spots in the bamboo, so it is given the name "Xiaoxiang Pavilion";
The red fragrant green jade has been changed to Yihong fast green before, and is now named "Yihong Courtyard";
Zhi Qingfen gave the name "Wu Yuan";
The apricot curtain is in Wang, and the name of the Huange Villa is given;
In addition, the names of "Decoration Pavilion", "Liao Fengxuan", "Zilingzhou", etc., "Pear Blossom Spring Rain", "Tong Cut Autumn Wind" and other plaques are innumerable.
Finally, a unique title for the entire garden:
The mountain and the water are built to be fine, and how much work is done; The heavens and the earth are prepared, and the Fangyuan should be given the name of the grand view.
At this point, the name of the Grand View Garden was born.
He also gave the main hall the name "Gu En Siyi" Palace, and inscribed a couplet:
Heaven and earth enlighten Hongci, and the bare head feels the same;
Ancient and modern classics, Kyushu and all countries are glorious.
Only this one song and one couplet, it can be seen that Yuanchun's talent is far above Sanchun. Jia Baoyu can't help but think of Yuan Chun's judgment in the previous life:
Three springs compete for the early spring scene, and the tigers meet each other and return to the big dream.
The previous sentence is easy to understand, but praise its appearance and talent, and the three sisters of Yun Yingchun are all compared. Although the latter sentence is not easy to understand, it is not a good foreshadowing, and it can also be speculated that Yuan Chun will end badly.
A generation of concubines who shoulder the rise and fall of the family, and whose appearance and talent are better than those of the Sanchun sisters, can only die alone in the cold deep palace.
It's sad and lamentable.
Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu can understand even more why Yuan Chun is so emotional and crying tonight. Yuan Chun's days in the palace must have been unfortunate.
Jia Baoyu couldn't help but think of that Queen Ye again, although she always appeared in a dignified and noble manner, but a few times after seeing her, Jia Baoyu could always see the loneliness and loneliness in her......
If his feeling is right, then from the queen and Yuan Chun, the two absolutely noble people in the palace, they are not doing well, then what kind of life do the tens of thousands of young women in the palace live?
Jia Baoyu has no way of knowing.
He couldn't do anything, and he couldn't even help his sister, so he could only secretly think in his heart that he would try his best to make Yuan Chun happy tonight.
Yuan Chun finished writing the last couplet, and saw that everyone was full of praise for it, because he said humbly: "I lack talent, and I am not good at chanting.
Besides, I know that there are many talented sisters and brothers-in-law in the family, so it is better to take advantage of this good day to choose a scene in the garden at will according to the size of their own talents, and make a plaque and a song, and look at me, but do not have to be bound by my slight talents. ”
At that time, in the Gu En Siyi Palace, the banquet was withdrawn early, and many tables, chairs, tables, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones were moved in. The sisters were all waiting, but when they heard Yuan Chunguo ask them to compose poems, they were all a little eager to try.
Yuan Chun looked at Jia Baoyu again and said with a smile: "Baoyu is originally a scholar and is good at chanting, so naturally he is different from them, so he needs to do more."
Jia Baoyu smiled from afar: "If my sister has any requests, just mention it, but if I can't do it at that time, my sister will have to keep it secret for me and don't publicize it." After all, my little brother is still quite famous in Beijing. ”
When Yuan Chun heard this, he just smiled.
"Don't worry, I won't deliberately make things difficult for you. Because of the scenery in this garden, Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Wuyuan are my favorites, followed by Yihong Courtyard and Huange Villa, which are the four uniques in the garden.
So you go around with this, and each of you makes a five-word law, can you make it? ”
Yuanchun really doesn't mean to make things difficult, there is no limit to the rules, and there is no great difficulty.
However, Jia Baoyu still pretended to be embarrassed: "Little brother tries his best to ......"
So he walked up to the sisters who were already starting to do it and inserted a position.
To inscribe a song to the scenery, as long as you have learned the rhythm of poetry, you can. Besides, tonight is not for fame, just for the sake of writing poems at home, so what is done only needs to rhyme, and it is somewhat interesting in it, so it is naturally difficult for Jia Baoyu to make such a small fuss.
Thinking back to the scenery in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, think about it casually, and a fresh style of five rhythms has been released.
When I looked up, Daiyu had already put away her pen and was peeking at him boredly. Baochai also picked up his manuscript paper and blew it gently, obviously ready.
Jia Baoyu's heart moved, and he deliberately glanced at Daiyu.
Daiyu originally turned her head when Jia Baoyu looked at her, but later she was surprised when she caught a glimpse of Jia Baoyu giving her a look
Ran turned his head, frowned, and looked at Jia Baoyu suspiciously.
Wait until I see Jia Baoyu lip styling her: "The apricot curtain is in sight......"
She instantly realized: Second brother is asking me to help him compose a substitute song!
She suddenly came to her senses.
It turned out that Daiyu boasted that her talent was higher than that of the sisters, and when Yuan Chun was writing poems before, she guessed that Yuan Chun would let them participate as well.
At that time, she made up her mind that she would show her talents and subdue everyone.
If even Jia Baoyu had pressed it, then she would definitely be happier.
It's a pity that Yuan Chun finally only ordered them to make a plaque and a song, so she didn't want to disobey her orders to do more, so she made a random poem, and she was upset.
When she looked at Jia Baoyu, she was still thinking, that is, your own sister, let you show your talents. If she were my sister, I would have made four songs, and it might not be as good as you......
Now that Jia Baoyu took the initiative to give her a chance, she was naturally happy.
After thinking about it carefully, an ingenious five laws suddenly jumped on the paper.
Taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, she quietly crumpled the manuscript paper into a ball and threw it in front of Jia Baoyu......
Jia Baoyu had only finished a song about Wuyuan at this time, and suddenly found that a ball of paper flew over, and he grabbed it.
When I looked up, all the sisters had already put away their pens, and they all looked at their small movements and snickered.
The second brother, Sister Lin, is so bold, they dare to cheat openly in front of their mothers......
In fact, where only the sisters saw it, Jia Mu and the others above and even Yuan Chun saw it.
Yuan Chun smiled slightly, he didn't care, he just ordered Tanchun to take their inscriptions first......
Tanchun presented the works of the five sisters plus Li Kun to Yuanchun.
Here, Jia Baoyu glanced at Daiyu's cheat sheet, and found that it was a very familiar one, and he said in his heart that the world is really wonderful, and then he was ready to transcribe it.
Suddenly, I saw Baochai raising her neck slightly to look at Daiyu's cheat sheet......
Jia Baoyu was too careful, and felt that Baochai was hinting at him, so he turned his head and whispered while transcribing it: "Sister Bao, I still have a song from Yihong Courtyard, why don't my sister do it for me."
He felt that he was doing it for the sake of fairness, and that the bowl of water was level.
Baochai was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "You can't do it yourself......"
Baochai is not Daiyu, she just turned her head out of pure curiosity, where is what Jia Baoyu thinks.
Jia Baoyu saw Baochai's refusal, and there was no fake expression on his face, so he realized that he had misunderstood Baochai as "jealous". However, the words have been spoken, and there is no reason to take it back.
"That, I'm done, I can't think of anything else for a while, so I beg my sister for a favor. You see Sister Lin is helping me ......"
Xu is the IQ of a woman in love has declined, and when Baochai heard it, she believed it.
glanced back and found that Yuan Chun was seriously watching their poems, and had no time to care, so he calmed down a little, thought about it, and wrote a random poem.
Although Yuan Chun has already declared: There is no need to be bound by her small talents.
But Baochai doesn't want to publicize and do things that "make a lot of merit". Even the one before her was modest, so she made this one for Jia Baoyu, which was just an ordinary work.
Jia Baoyu didn't hand it to him when she saw that Baochai had written it, so she put it in front of her. He smiled, took it without hesitation, and began to transcribe it in front of everyone.
Compared with Baochai and Daiyu's thoughts, he is much more casual. He dared to transcribe whether it was good or bad.
Because he knew that Yuan Chun wouldn't care about these either. What she cares about is that she can have fun with her brothers and sisters tonight!
Above, Yuan Chun read the poems of Li Kun, Baochai, Yingchun, Daiyu, Tanchun, and Xichun one by one, raised his head and smiled: "Sure enough, the works of Xue and Lin Ermei are different, and the non-Yu sisters can be listed together."
No one was unconvinced by Yuan Chun's evaluation.
Bao Dai and the others are more affectionate than others, and everyone has a common opinion.
"Baoyu, are you ready?"
Yuan Chun put away the poems of Baochai and others, and then asked Jia Baoyu with a smile.
"It's almost there."
Jia Baoyu transcribed the poem "Yihong Courtyard" made by Baochai three or five times, and when the notes were dry, he sent it to Yuanchun.
Yuan Chun smiled and picked them up one by one, and praised them with a smile or two while reading.
When she saw the apricot curtain looking at a song, she had phoenix eyes and said with a smile: "This one is ingenious."
As he spoke, he read it out softly:
"The apricot curtain beckons guests to drink,
There is a mountain villa in sight.
water of water chestnut goose,
Mulberry elm swallow beam.
A wisp of spring leek green,
Ten miles of rice flowers.
There is no hunger in the prosperous world,
Why do you need to be busy with farming and weaving? ”
smiled, Yuan Chun looked at the back one by one, and then smiled at everyone: "This apricot curtain is looking at one song, and it should be the crown of the four."
As he spoke, he ordered the name of "Huange Villa" given before to be abolished and changed to "Daoxiang Village".
Then pass all the poems to Tanchun, let Tanchun and others copy one copy for Jia Mu and others to see, and ask Jia Baoyu to copy one copy and pass it on to Jia Zheng and others. But she had to put away the manuscript herself, so that she could take it back to the palace.
said that Daiyu heard Yuan Chun praise Xing Curtain for looking at one song, which was better than Jia Baoyu's other three songs, and naturally included the one written by Baochai. Because of this, she changed the name of the apricot curtain in sight, and she was naturally very happy in her heart.
Therefore, he gave Jia Baoyu a look very proudly: The emperor also named you a jinshi, and you are not as good as me.
Jia Baoyu quietly gave her a thumbs up: You cow, the next champion is yours!
Daiyu almost understood Jia Baoyu's meaning in seconds, and was suddenly ashamed, lowered her head, her face was red, and she was very good-looking.
