In the evening, in the Rongqing Hall, a family banquet was held.

Jia Baoyu shined at the birthday banquet of the Emperor Taishang, won glory for the Jia family, and everyone in the Jia family was happy from Jia's mother. Jia's mother immediately ordered to invite the direct family members of the two prefectures to celebrate Jia Baoyu.

He also said that there will be another banquet tomorrow, and invite the entire Jia family in Beijing to seriously spread Jia Baoyu's brilliance today throughout the family.

For Jia's mother, Jia Baoyu's glory makes her happier than her own glory, which proves that she has always been right to favor Jia Baoyu and even dot on her.

After the end of the year, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, and Jia Rong successively said goodbye on the grounds that they were unwell or had other affairs, and Jia's mother did not keep them.

At this time, in the main hall of the Rongqing Hall, there are many candles and lanterns hanging high, and the wide hall is illuminated like a white sun.

Wang Xifeng poured a glass of wine, swayed his concave and delicate figure, came to Jia Baoyu's side, and said with a smile: "Brother Bao, from now on, you will be an official master, we will rely on you to take care of you in the future, you must not relax." ”

She said it wittily, which made the people around her laugh. Xiangyun continued: "Brother Bao has just won the official body, and the second sister-in-law will come to supervise you, why don't you supervise the second brother?" ”

"Hahaha......"

Xiangyun was originally serious, but immediately caused everyone's laughter.

Wang Xifeng was drinking with Jia Baoyu, and when he heard the words, he almost didn't stand firm and spilled the wine. But after all, she was generous, put one hand on Jia Baoyu's shoulder, turned around and glanced at Xiangyun angrily, and said: "If your second brother Lian is capable and willing to listen to others' persuasion, I can't wait to urge him every day."

A slap doesn't make a sound, so why should I dislike him, naturally he can't help it. ”

It's okay that Wang Xifeng didn't explain, but her explanation made everyone laugh even more happily.

Xiangyun asked: "What about Brother Bao, how do you know that he is persuaded?" ”

Wang Xifeng said: "I don't know if he listens to persuasion, but I do know that you must not have eaten enough, so there are so many problems!" ”

Saying that, Wang Xifeng had already walked to Xiangyun's side, and stuffed a piece of meat into Xiangyun's mouth. Xiangyun naturally dodged in every possible way, and even Yingchun and Tanchun next to him also frolicked together.

There are only two people at the same table with Jia Baoyu here, Jia Lan and Jia Huan. Jia Huan looked like a thief, his eyes were glancing around, Jia Lan was silent, it was really boring to sit at a table with them, so he picked up the wine jug, starting from Jia's mother, and toasted next to him.

When they arrived at Li Kun's table, Jia Baoyu was detained. Wang Xifeng took the lead, co-authored the You family and the Qin family to take a Li Kun, and pulled him to death.

But Jia's mother, who loves him the most on weekdays, didn't help him deter them at this time, so in the end, Jia Baoyu could only drink a big cup in everyone's hand, and then escaped.

Although it is rice wine that is not easy to get drunk, but as the saying goes, "if you don't get drunk with wine, everyone gets drunk", these four people, eighteen to twenty-eight, are all young and beautiful young women, even if they are poured wine, Jia Baoyu refuses on his face, but his heart is still beautiful.

Especially the most enchanting Qin, because she is a junior, every time Jia Baoyu drinks a glass, she has to be busy adding the wine in Jia Baoyu's cup, coming and going, the tenderness in her eyes and the aroma on her body are about to stun Jia Baoyu.

With great perseverance to say goodbye to the four of them, Jia Baoyu finally came to the sisters' table.

This time, he naturally had to be clever, and he only took a sip when he toasted the sisters. Xiangyun was very dissatisfied with his style, but the other sisters did not cooperate and did not agree with her proposal to ask Jia Baoyu to drink a full cup, so that Jia Baoyu could pass the test in confusion.

Then, Jia Baoyu didn't return to his seat, and took the opportunity to sit down here.

The table is not big, and there are already six people sitting Baochai, the three sisters of Yingchun, Daiyu, and Xiangyun, which is already slightly crowded. However, Jia Baoyu saw Daiyu and Tanchun whispering, so she squeezed between the two of them and forcibly separated them.

Daiyu was naturally a little dissatisfied, and said: "Isn't this the official master who has just taken office, he was still on an official stand with us just now, and he refused to eat too much wine, what are you doing here, and you have carefully insulted your identity." ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiangyun, who was visiting the spring, immediately echoed: "That is, he ran over to toast us, but he refused to eat, and you didn't help me catch him!" ”

Xiangyun obviously still remembered the previous incident that allowed Jia Baoyu to escape perfunctorily.

Jia Baoyu looked at Daiyu and smiled, this is his good sister, having said that, in fact, he really feels sorry for him, and even Tanchun is eager to try to pour him wine, only Daiyu always sits quietly.

"Wine is a thing for pleasure, not too much. Besides, our brothers and sisters are no better than others, and if you really want to get me drunk, you will have to bother to carry me back later. ”

Jia Baoyu said this, and then asked the maid next to him for half a cup of tea and drank it hot.

Xiangyun pouted and sneered at Jia Baoyu's words. If Jia Baoyu gets drunk, she will have her own maids and nurses to help her back, where will she be used. However, seeing that Jia Baoyu asked for tea, he also knew that he might indeed have drunk too much, so he no longer dothered.

Baochai waited until everyone had finished talking, looked at Jia Baoyu and said: "Brother Bao studied with a famous teacher, but after half a year, he made great progress. My brother brought back the two poems you wrote at the birthday banquet today, and I read them too. The first poem of the Seven Absolute Ideas is lofty, the words are exquisite, and the uprightness and unyielding of the bamboo thing are written thoroughly, and they are also written.

Although I and the girl have no knowledge, according to our shallow opinion, your poem is placed in the Yongzhu poems of the Tang and Song dynasties, and it is not too much! ”

Most of the poems and articles need the accumulation of history and time in order to be more deafening and moving.

Mr. Banqiao's "Bamboo and Stone", in Jia Baoyu's view, is listed as the first among all bamboo poems. Fortunately, this is the first time it has come out in the world of Red Mansions, although Baochai and others are also shocked that Jia Baoyu can write such a good poem, they just gave him an evaluation to catch up with his predecessors, otherwise, Jia Baoyu didn't know if he would blush.

When it was, he just wanted to crush Wu Fan's little scum with an absolutely high profile.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu responded to Baochai's praise very modestly, saying "luck", "occasional" and the like.

However, since Baochai mentioned this topic, the girls present seemed to open the conversation box all of a sudden, and immediately chattered.

Some people say that this sentence is good, and some people say that it is wonderful. It is inevitable to mention the song "Qinyuan Spring-Snow" again.

However, as Jia Baoyu guessed, Daiyu and others' preference for "Bamboo and Stone" is far greater than Qin Yuanchun's song.

Daiyu and other daughters prefer ethereal and elegant, fresh and refined articles. Although "Qinyuan Spring-Snow" is wild and free, and the writing is uninhibited, the "utilitarianism" is too strong, and I know that Jia Baoyu wrote it to compliment the emperor, and what I said is ugly is the product of flattery, so they can't give too much love psychologically.

It's Baochai, Jia Baoyu secretly speculated that maybe he didn't have prejudice against this, maybe he liked it better, but Baochai didn't say it.

However, from the eyes she occasionally looked, Jia Baoyu still found that it seemed to be a little different than before.
