Chapter 18: Love Poems

"What are you doing here?"

Inside the gauze tent, Daiyu glanced at Jia Baoyu, then moved the pillow, turned sideways, and continued to read.

Before Jia Baoyu saw Baochai reading, she always sat seriously, either in front of the cave window, or behind the bookcase, at most in the gazebo, where did she see her lying on the bed reading.

This is the favorite thing for college students in later generations, but I didn't expect Daiyu to have this "elegance".

I just don't know if Aunt Xue was so casual when they came over. He saw that there was also a flat rectangular wooden box on the cabinet next to him, and knew that Aunt Xue and Baochai had already come.

Jia Baoyu walked to Daiyu's bedside, lifted the gauze tent, and sat on the edge of the bed. Daiyu leaned in slightly, but still ignored him.

"Snort~"

Jia Baoyu suddenly laughed, and Daiyu suddenly said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I thought of a joke and laughed when I thought it was funny."

Daiyu's eyes widened, what kind of person can he laugh out loud when he thinks of a joke?

I wanted to ask what kind of joke it was, but before I could open my mouth, I heard that Jia Baoyu had already spoken:

"There was a weasel who was so fond of chickens that he went to a farmer's house twice in a row and succeeded. On the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when it went again, it was accidentally caught by a mousetrap put by a farmer, and it screamed in pain.

When the farmer heard the noise, he scolded: 'I am embarrassed to come to my house in the middle of the night to steal chickens!' I'll pick your skin and cramp and stew it to pay for my chicken! ’

The weasel hurriedly defended: 'Wronged, I really didn't come to your chicken coop to steal chickens. ’

The farmer asked, 'What are you doing here?' Could it be dating chickens? ’

The weasel replied solemnly: 'I'm here to greet the chickens for the New Year's ......'"

"Poof~~"

Jia Baoyu said it in a good way, and Daiyu couldn't help but laugh after listening to it with pointed ears. Suddenly, she came back to her senses, didn't she just ask Jia Baoyu what she was doing?

"Okay, you, arrange people again!"

Daiyu put down the book in her hand, sat up and pulled Jia Baoyu's face.

Jia Baoyu made a gesture of hiding, but she didn't dodge, so she had to let her soft little hands pinch the flesh on his face, tearing his head to the ground.

Daiyu originally looked at the funny expression on Jia Baoyu's face, there was a happy look in her eyes, and she blushed a little and said: "It's just a choreographer, and I compare people to ...... Hum! ”

Jia Baoyu hurriedly explained: "Good sister, I didn't mean that, if I told you to pay New Year's greetings, then wouldn't I be the weasel?" I'm not that stupid. ”

"You still say!" Daiyu withdrew her hand from Jia Baoyu's face, crossed her hands on her waist, and said angrily: "You are a weasel, or a nasty weasel!" ”

"If I'm a weasel, you're a pretty little chick who loves to get angry, be careful that I come and steal you at night!"

"Phew, I didn't cover my mouth......!"

Daiyu hammered Jia Baoyu twice, and her face turned even redder.

Zijuan came in to get something, and watching the two of them fighting on the bed, Zijuan smiled and said: "Second Master Bao is really different, if you made our girl angry in the past, you can't run three or four times, and it takes half a day to coax our girl well, but I didn't expect this time, it will be reconciled so quickly." ”

Daiyu looked at Zijuan and said, "Who is angry?" What's the matter with you again! ”

After saying that, he put down his legs on the bed, stepped on his little embroidered boots, and walked towards the tea table.

Zijuan knew that she was thirsty, so she poured a bowl of tea from the teapot for her very neatly, and said with a smile: "I don't know who had a cold face last night, and I didn't say anything to anyone." When I got up in the morning, I looked at the gate of the courtyard through this window a few times......"

"Ah, what nonsense are you talking about!" Daiyu trembled, and hurriedly covered Zijuan's mouth, and the teacup in her hand almost overturned.

Zijuan didn't dare to tease her anymore, and lifted the curtain and went out with a smile.

Jia Baoyu got up and walked over with a smile. Daiyu immediately said on guard: "She talks nonsense, I don't ...... like that"

"I know." Jia Baoyu said indifferently, sat next to Daiyu, and said, "I'm also thirsty, sister help me pour me a cup of tea." ”

Daiyu held her teacup and pouted, "Why don't you pour it yourself." ”

"I just want to drink the tea that my sister poured." Jia Baoyu said gently.

Daiyu glanced at him, but still lifted the teapot, turned over another bowl, slowly poured half a bowl of tea, and put it in front of him.

Jia Baoyu didn't say much, slowly picked it up, took a sip gently, and praised: "Good tea!" ”

"Giggle~"

Daiyu smiled. At this moment, she felt that between her and Jia Baoyu was really like the "confidant" mentioned in the book, getting along very well and having a good heart.

Just as Jia Baoyu didn't know why she was angry with him, and she didn't know why Jia Baoyu didn't pour her own tea. None of them asked, but they were all willing to accept a little willfulness from each other.

Jia Baoyu came over to make her happy, and she obediently poured him tea......

The two sat opposite each other, slowly tasting the aroma of the tea, and they were reluctant to finish drinking it, breaking this beautiful atmosphere.

After a while, Daiyu finally put down the bowl and said quietly: "Your illness is really cured?" ”

"Hmm."

Daiyu thought for a while, and then said: "You have been in the south for two months, and the second sister, third sister, and fourth sister are all worried about you. ”

Jia Baoyu said: "What about my sister? ”

Daiyu twisted her head and said nothing.

Jia Baoyu said again: "Does that sister know who I was most concerned about when I was in Jinling?" ”

"Who?"

Daiyu hung her head, but still asked with a pretended relaxation.

Jia Baoyu smiled, stood up, walked to the cabinet, took the flat "stationery box", put it on Daiyu's bookcase, and asked with a smile: "This was given to you by Aunt and Sister Bao?" ”

Daiyu's brows furrowed because Jia Baoyu didn't answer her words, and she frowned even more when she heard Jia Baoyu's words, but she still nodded.

Jia Baoyu didn't realize it, walked over, picked up Daiyu's hand, led her over, and said: "I wrote a poem when I returned to Beijing by boat, and I want to write it to my sister, I don't know if my sister may study ink for me?" ”

"Poetry, what poetry?" Daiyu's curiosity grew.

Jia Baoyu also did not answer, opened the gift box, and took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in turn and placed them on the table.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu was so solemn, Daiyu also cooperated very well and took a small spoonful of water and put it in the inkstone, and slowly studied the ink.

Jia Baoyu's hand holding the pen suddenly paused, and an imperceptible look of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he quickly covered it up, still lifting the pen, and wrote from top to bottom, from right to left:

The crabs are peeling my shells, and the wine is drinking me.

The sky is full of sunshine and drizzle.

And you're thinking about me.

Daiyu naturally watched from the side, but when Jia Baoyu wrote the first sentence, her brows furrowed into a big "Chuan" character.

The meaning doesn't make sense at all, the key is, why are there three wrong in just over ten words?

"After I got sick for a while, I lost some of my memory, and I forgot how to write a lot of words, and my sister taught me later." Jia Baoyu explained with a smile.

Before he read books, there were not too many words he didn't know, but when he picked up the pen, he found that knowing those traditional Chinese characters was the same thing, but many of them he couldn't understand, and in desperation, he couldn't write the words, so he replaced them with simplified characters.

When Daiyu heard this, a touch of distress flashed, and said: "Second brother, don't worry too much, I just forgot to write the words, and I will be able to make up for it soon." ”

"Hmm."

"Giggles, but the second brother's words have suddenly become ugly! It's so ugly, I guess even Xichun's handwriting is better than yours. ”

Daiyu laughed again.

Jia Baoyu's face suddenly darkened. He thinks his calligraphy is pretty good......

"Don't worry about this, read the poems first!"

"How can this be called a poem, Tang has never heard of a poem with only three sentences since then, is this a rhythm created by the second brother?"

Daiyu obviously still doesn't want to read Jia Baoyu's bullshit poems, and blindly wants to correct his mistakes.

Jia Baoyu knew that Daiyu was attracted by his series of "mistakes", and did not read what he wrote carefully.

"Leaning on the railing alone, eating crab meat, drinking wine, letting the drizzle and the penetrating sunlight fall on me, who knows: I'm thinking of you."

Jia Baoyu used a calm and affectionate tone to re-read this "three-line love poem". Then, Daiyu's complexion gradually solidified.

She silently picked up Jia Baoyu's manuscript and really looked at the poem seriously.

Crabs, wine, sunshine, drizzle.

She seemed to see Jia Baoyu sitting alone drinking in the afternoon when the rain was beginning to shine, and the drizzle and the rising sun could not disturb his state of mind, because he was missing a distant person......

Daiyu suddenly covered her heart, because she felt her heartbeat suddenly stop two beats, which made her feel suffocated.

"Sister Lin, are you okay?"

Jia Baoyu saw that Daiyu's face suddenly turned pale, and asked very nervously.

"No, I'm fine...... Second brother, this is, this is the ...... you wrote it to"

Daiyu felt her heart beating fast again.

"Well, let me think about it, it seems that I wanted to write it to the third sister at that time."

Daiyu looked up in amazement, looked at Jia Baoyu, and tears suddenly flowed out.

Jia Baoyu's eyelids jumped, is this Lin Daiyu really made of water, tears come when she says it. He hurriedly wiped away her tears and said softly: "Today is the first time I have written it, since my sister is the first person to see it, who is it written to, isn't it clear to my sister." ”

He was afraid that Daiyu would be too emotional and her mood swings too much, so he deliberately pulled her around and distracted her. But I didn't expect it to earn her tears so easily.

He suddenly smiled again: "You said you, the third sister is my own sister, how could I write such a poem for her, the master will not kill me if he knows about it!" ”

"Puff~"

Daiyu burst into tears and laughed, and scolded: "You should be killed as a person who is used to deceiving people with clever words." ”

After laughing, Daiyu glanced up at Jia Baoyu, lowered her head again, and said faintly: "Even if it's me, you shouldn't write such a light thing, if you let others know, I ......"

The appearance of being shy and earnest, bowing her head and making the corners of her clothes, is really beautiful.

Jia Baoyu knew that Daiyu was clever and precocious.

The original version of this "three-line love poem" can be famous all over the world even if it is a descendant of love letters, let alone in this era of conservative thinking? Today, I wrote it to Daiyu, undoubtedly to confess to Daiyu.

Therefore, he gently hugged Daiyu's shoulders and said gently: "It doesn't matter if others know, I just like Sister Lin, I have liked it since I was a child, I am not afraid that others will know......"

He only felt Daiyu's body tremble, and then suddenly broke free, and was about to flee Jia Baoyu. After only taking two steps, he came back with his head down, took the manuscript, folded it and hid it in his sleeve, and then ran out without looking at Jia Baoyu.
