Jia Yuanchun and the others got up and set off, and let Baoyu guide them in front, and everyone walked to the front of the garden gate, only to see the lights and fire trees, all kinds of things are listed.

After entering the garden, seeing that there were words such as "there is a phoenix coming to the ceremony", "red fragrant green jade", "apricot curtain in sight" and so on, Jia Yuanchun first praised it, and then took the opportunity to persuade: "Don't be too extravagant in the future, this is too much." ”

After entering the main hall, Jia Yuanchun sent an edict to return to his seat without salute and open a feast.

Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others accompanied each other in the next seat, and You Shi, Li Kun, and Sister Feng personally held the spoon.

Jia Yuanchun ordered someone to pass the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to serve, selected a few favorite places to give names, and then wrote a quatrain: "Holding the mountain and holding the water to build the fine, how much work to build the beginning." The scenery of heaven and earth is prepared, and Fangyuan should be named after the great view of Xi. ”

After writing, six people, including Baochai, Daiyu, Xiangyun and Sanchun, made a poem and four poems according to the plaques in the park.

Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun thought that it was difficult for them to compete with Xue, Lin, and Shi, so they reluctantly made a poem with the crowd.

Lin Daiyu had no intention of performing, but just made the first five rules to respond to the situation.

Xue Baochai didn't want to dominate the guests, but also wanted the concubine to look at her differently, so he made a poem about returning to the province.

Fangyuan is built to the west of the imperial city, and the auspicious clouds of Huari are shrouded in strangeness.

Gao Liu likes to move the warbler out of the valley, and waits for the phoenix to come when repairing the fence.

The style of writing has been written in the evening of Chenyou, and filial piety should be returned to the province.

Ruizao fairy is full of colorful pens, and he is ashamed of himself.

Shi Xiangyun wanted to show his talents tonight and overwhelm everyone, in order to gain the approval of the concubine, so he tried his best to make a song of seven laws.

After Xue Baochai finished writing, he saw Baoyu scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry, so he quietly walked to Baoyu's side while people were not paying attention.

Jia Baoyu had just finished the two songs of "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" and "Wuyuan", and was stuck in the "Yihong Courtyard" song, when he saw Baochai coming, he wiped his sweat anxiously and said: "I can't think of any 'red and green' allusions at this time." ”

Xue Baochai quietly reminded: "In Tang Qianjue's "Unexhibited Plantains": 'The cold candle is smokeless and the green wax is dry, and the heart is still cowardly and cold. 'Why don't you borrow it?' ”

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu's thoughts suddenly changed, and he hurriedly wrote: "The green wax is still rolling in spring, and the red makeup is sleepless at night." ”

After writing it, he smiled and said, "Damn, damn!" I didn't even remember that from now on, I will only call you Master, and I will never call you Sister again. ”

"Who is your sister, the one wearing the yellow robe is your sister, and you recognize my sister again." Xue Baochai smiled quietly, and after finishing speaking, he was afraid of delaying Baoyu's time, so he pulled away and walked away.

Shi Xiangyun has been paying attention to Baochai and Baoyu, seeing the two talking and laughing, he hurriedly walked to Baoyu's case, glanced at the departing Baochai, felt a little unhappy in his heart, and asked quietly: "But it's all there?" ”

Jia Baoyu hurriedly said: "There are only three songs, only one is missing, and there is only one song left for 'Apricot Curtain in Sight'." ”

Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: "In this case, you go and transcribe the first three songs first, and I will make this one for you." ”

Jia Baoyu was overjoyed when she heard this, and thanked her busily.

Before long, Shi Xiangyun chanted in the same way, wrote it on a piece of paper, rolled it into a ball, and threw it in front of Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu opened it and looked at it, and was overjoyed, only to feel that this head was several times higher than what he had done, so he hurriedly presented it.

Jia Yuanchun has been paying attention to the situation on Baoyu's side, seeing the small actions of Baochai, Xiangyun and Baoyu clearly, greatly appreciating Baochai's empathy, and secretly shaking his head at Xiangyun's behavior of composing poems for Baoyu.

After all the poems were completed, Jia Yuanchun looked at them one by one, praised the poems of Baochai, Daiyu, and Xiangyun, and rated Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, and Lin Daiyu as the best, and praised Baoyu a few words.

Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun were praised by Yuan Chun, they were satisfied, and they added a little hope to their hearts.

Although Lin Daiyu was appreciated by Yuan Chun, she didn't have much joy in her heart, especially looking at the jubilant people in Jiafu, chatting and laughing, she felt extremely lonely in her heart and wanted to escape from this place.

Jia Yuanchun then ordered Tanchun to transcribe more than a dozen poems by Fang Cai on colored note, and ordered the eunuch to pass them on to the outer chamber.

After Jia Zheng and others watched it, they were all praised, and Jia Zheng entered "Ode to Returning to the Province" again.

Jia Yuanchun also ordered Qiong Su Jin and other things to give Baoyu and Jia Lan.

Jia Lan has been following Jia Zheng and saluting with everyone, but he has not been summoned alone.

Since Jia Huan and Jia Lan studied together, they were often asked by Mrs. Wang to copy Buddhist scriptures, and Aunt Zhao was often harassed.

After everyone finished inscribed the poems, Jia Yuanchun ordered four more plays: "Banquet", "Qiqiao", "Immortal Yuan", and "Leaving the Soul".

As soon as the performance was over, a eunuch walked in with a gold plate of pastries and asked, "Who is the Ling official?" ”

Jia Qiang knew that it was the thing that gave the age officer, so she was happy to take it, and ordered the age officer to kowtow.

The eunuch said again: "The concubine has an edict, saying that Ling Guan is very good, and make two more plays, regardless of which two." ”

Jia Qiang hurriedly responded and asked Ling Guan to make two plays, "Garden" and "Dream".

Ling Guan insisted on not doing these two plays for this reason, which were not his own plays, and was determined to make two plays of "Rendezvous" and "Scolding".

Jia Qiang twisted her, so she had to do what she did.

When Jia Yuanchun heard this, he was very happy, and saw that he was a little similar to Daiyu, so he ordered: "Don't embarrass this girl, it's good to teach." ”

After Shi Xiangyun saw Ling Guan, a pair of eyes couldn't stop looking at Daiyu, and said with a smile with Baochai and Tanchun beside him: "This kid looks like Sister Lin!" ”

Xue Baochai just smiled and didn't answer Xiangyun's words.

Lin Daiyu glanced at Shi Xiangyun lightly, and didn't care about her verbal offense.

After Jia Yuanchun and Jia Mu heard Shi Xiangyun's words, they both disliked Xiangyun's unbridled words.

Jia Yuanchun specially rewarded Ling Guan with two palace satins, two purses and gold and silver bills.

Shi Taijun also ordered someone to take some flesh and fruit and Ling Guan, and rewarded him with two strings of money.

After listening to the play, Jia Yuanchun ordered people to remove the banquet and visit the places in the garden that he had not visited before.

And to the cui hermitage, see the mountain ring Buddha temple, then go into the incense to worship the Buddha, and inscribe a plaque cloud: bitter sea Cihang.

Miaoyu since entering the Jia Mansion, will go deep into the Jane, every day only stay in the cui nunnery, and do not interact with the Jia family, at this moment to see Yuan Chun come in, for fear that the people in the palace will know their identity and bring trouble to the Jia family, so they have the intention to avoid seeing.

Jia Yuanchun was not reluctant, but just rewarded the nun girl.

Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang and others were extremely dissatisfied with Miaoyu's behavior, and Daiyu was also secretly worried about Miaoyu.

The attendant eunuchs kept this matter in mind, and they were sent by Emperor Yuanyong to follow Jia Yuanchun, first, to record Jia Yuanchun's words and deeds, and secondly, to take this opportunity to explore the situation of the Jia family, so they paid special attention to some abnormal situations.

Out of the cui hermitage, the eunuch presented the reward list, knelt down and said: "Yu Niangniang, all the gifts are complete, please check the examples." ”

Jia Yuanchun looked at it from the beginning, and compromised very much, so he ordered it to be obeyed.

The deacon and eunuch said: "It's three o'clock ugly, please drive back to Luan." ”

After Jia Yuanchun heard this, he couldn't help but tears rolled down his eyes, but he reluctantly smiled, took the hands of Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, and couldn't bear to release it tightly, and repeatedly admonished: "No need to worry, it is good to be self-nourishing, such as today's grace, I am allowed to enter the interior to introspect once in January, and there is everything to meet, so why be sad." ”

Although he knew that there was no possibility of returning, he still persuaded: "If Tian'en is still allowed to return to the province next year, it must not be so extravagant!" “

After hearing this, Jia Mu and the others cried unspeakably, although Concubine Jia couldn't bear to leave, how could the royal rules be extremely strict and could not be violated, so she had to endure to go to the public.

The people of Jiafu were busy comforting Jia's mother, and Mrs. Wang helped her out of the garden and went into the upper room to rest.

Shi Taijun wanted to keep Daiyu for a few days, but Daiyu insisted on refusing.

While she was talking, the maid reported that the carriage and horse that Lin Mansion had picked up Daiyu were waiting outside the mansion.

Lin Daiyu refused to be retained by her grandmother, and she was impatient to leave Jiafu, I don't know why, the current Jia family makes her no longer able to get close, and being in it, there is a sense of exhaustion and loneliness.

After getting into the carriage, I suddenly heard a familiar voice outside the curtain: "If my sister is tired, you can take a nap in the car." ”

Lin Daiyu was shocked when she heard this, and she didn't see it clearly when the sky was dark, and when she heard the voice at this moment, who was Fang Jue, she was extremely surprised: "Ah! How are you? ”

Lu Jing said with a smile while driving: "I've been worried about you, so I asked the teacher for help and came to pick you up in person!" ”

Lin Daiyu was instantly happy when she heard this, she was both moved and happy, and after a while, she came back to her senses from the state of surprise, and said a little anxiously: "How can my cousin catch the car in person?" ”

Lu Jing said with a smile: "What's this, the jade people in the car are safe, and the heart is happy, as long as my sister is in the car, I am willing to drive this carriage and take you all over the desert and the ends of the world, until you are old." ”

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu was full of emotion, but she didn't know how to respond, hesitated for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "I hope that the breeze will accompany the bright moon, and I only hope that you and I will never be separated." ”

Lu Jing said happily: "The sun, the moon and the Qing, the sun is the morning, the moon is the twilight, and the Qing is the twilight of the dynasty." ”

Lin Daiyu was even more ashamed when she heard this, and the surge that had just been puffed up dissipated instantly.

Seeing this, Lu Jing asked about the Jia family's concubine.

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she told Lu Jing her experience of this day completely.

When Lu Jing heard Jia Yuanchun's attitude towards Daiyu, it instantly became clear that the Jia family wanted to take advantage of this matter to forcibly tie Lin Ruhai or even himself to the Jia family's boat, this kind of operation should be Wang Ziteng's handiwork, presumably after the emperor knew about it, even if he didn't believe it, he would have a little knot.

It seems that something needs to be done to completely break this binding of Wang Ziteng.

Halfway through, Lu Jing asked, "The Shangyuan Lantern Festival is not over yet, if my sister is not tired, can we take a look?" ”

"Well, I'm not tired, my cousin can call the shots!" Lin Daiyu was busy and said happily, she had always wanted to watch the lantern festival before, but at this time, she was even more pleased to be able to watch it with the person she liked.

"Okay, let's see the lantern and go back later!" Lu Jing said with a smile, and then ordered someone to change the route, and at the same time sent someone to inform Lin Ruhai of the matter.

Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty Shangyuan Festival celebration time, respectively three days and five days, this dynasty for the New Year to welcome the details, deliberately extended the celebration time to seven days, these seven days no curfew, the city gate open, allow the people to go to the street all night to watch the lantern play, the lantern festival is also all night long, the whole city is rushing to run, bustling, all night long, indulge in joy.

But the excitement is only three days, the fourteenth day of the first month is the test light, the fifteenth and sixteenth nights of the first month are crowded with people, the seventeenth day of the first month has more lights than people, the eighteenth night will be depressed, to the nineteenth has been empty under the lamp, and after twenty years, the lights have been unloaded and dismantled.

Due to the reduction in the scale of this year's lantern festival and the fact that it was time to arrive, the crowd on the street had decreased, and Lu Jing drove a carriage through the sparse crowd.

Lin Daiyu sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at the various lanterns on the street, they are different in shape, colorful, the lantern paintings are exquisite, or glass, or paste silk, beautiful and generous, elegant and solemn, containing different auspicious meanings.

There are hundreds of kinds of toad lamps, crab lamps, rabbit lamps, crane lamps, official lamps, lotus lamps, peony lamps, chrysanthemum lamps, etc., which are exquisite and colorful, dazzling, and overwhelming.

The jade plate turns in the sky, and the cold moon comes. The lamps and trees shine with thousands of lights, and the flowers and flames bloom. The moon shadow is suspicious of flowing water, the spring breeze contains night plums, the golden land is moving, and the clock is a glass table.

When Daiyu saw this scene, she couldn't help but admire: "There is no moon without lights, and there is no moon without lights, and it is not spring." When spring arrives, people in the world are like jade, and the lamp burns the moon and the moon is like silver. The streets are full of pedestrians, and the Buddha is singing and racing the god of the stove. If you don't smile, how can you spend this good day. ”

Lu Jing said: "The moonlight lights are all over the imperial city, and the incense car is passing. The brocade tree has flowers and spring is not old, and the Milky Way has no waves and the moon is always bright. ”

Walking to Wenshengzhai, Lu Jing stopped the carriage, bought a hydrangea lamp and a lotus lamp for Daiyu, and said: "If my sister sees something she likes, just tell me directly!" ”

Lin Daiyu saw that the lamp was written: "The flower on the lamp is a hibiscus flower, and the person in front of her is her sweetheart." ”

happily accepted the gift, and nodded with a smile.

Later, along the way, Lu Jing encountered small objects or snacks that Daiyu liked, so he bought them and gave them to Daiyu.

Although Daiyu was happy at first, she kept receiving gifts, and she was a little embarrassed, and it didn't take long for her to completely let go of her mind, and she would say it directly when she met something she liked, and after a while, her carriage was stuffed with all kinds of delicate objects.

The two turned from street to street, and Daiyu looked not tired, but became more and more interested, and kept commenting on the lanterns along the way, or stopping to guess the lantern riddles, or watching the juggling.

When Lu Jing sent Daiyu back to the house, Daiyu's eyes were full of reluctance and couldn't bear to separate.

Lu Jing whispered: "If I have the opportunity in the future, I will take my sister out a few more times!" ”

Although she knew that there would be no chance in a short period of time, Daiyu still nodded her head with great joy.

Lin Ruhai waited all night, and waited until Daiyu returned safely, but he was extremely dissatisfied, and criticized Lu Jing for half an hour before letting him go home.

After Daiyu sorted out the things she bought back one by one, she learned that her cousin had been blamed by her father because she was late to send her back, and a little self-blame suddenly rose in her heart.

Daiyu thought about it and wrote a letter, then took out a few sachets she had made recently, and asked Zijuan to send them to Lu Jing together.

After Lu Jing received the letter, he saw that Daiyu was ashamed between the lines, so he replied to the letter and asked Zijuan to take it back by the way.

After Daiyu received the letter, she hurriedly opened it and saw that it was written: "Sister don't worry, the teacher just blames a little, as long as my sister can have fun, everything is worth it, I just hope that you will always smile and your eyebrows will bloom like flowers." ”

The last sentence is: "Morning and dusk do not depend on Sauvignon Blanc, and white heads do not leave each other." ”

After reading it a few times, Daiyu felt sweet in her heart, and then let go of her self-blame and fell asleep with a smile.

After sending Zijuan back, Lu Jing put away the letter and sachet, and went back to the room to rest happily.
