One hundred and sixty-eight, night talk
Xiangyun has always been cheerful, but at this time, in the dead of night, when there is no one at the desk and no one is noisy, he can't help but feel a little sad, "My family is also difficult, and I don't know how they are. ”
Baochai sighed, "Reasoning, I shouldn't talk nonsense about your family's affairs, but I heard my brother say that your two uncles are dressed in gorgeous clothes and angry horses when they go in and out outside, and the bells on the horse pendant are all made of gold, why be so extravagant, people like us can get by in terms of clothes and clothing, who dares to look down on your family?" On the outside, they are glamorous, but on the inside, they are living a hard life. Moreover, it is not from these small places that the money is saved. ”
Xiangyun bowed her head and was silent, naturally she was not easy to take on this topic, and Baochai was not good at saying much, according to her temperament, it was very rare to be willing to say such a few words, and then said: "I already have an idea about this." We have a guy in the pawnshop, and they sent a few good crabs from the field. Now the people here, starting from the old lady, even the people in the house, more than half of them love to eat crabs, the day before yesterday the aunt also said that she would invite the old lady to enjoy the osmanthus and eat crabs in the garden, because there is something, there is no invitation. Now don't mention the poetry club, just ask for the same invitation, and when they disperse, how many poems can we not do? I told my brother that he would ask him to bring a few baskets of extremely fat crabs, and then bring a few jars of good wine to the shop, and prepare four or five tables of fruit plates. When Xiangyun heard this, he was convinced in his heart, and he praised his thoughtfulness. Baochai smiled again: "I am sincere for you, don't worry about it, thinking that I underestimate you, the two of us will be in vain." If you don't care, I'll tell them to do it. Xiangyun hurriedly smiled: "Good sister! When you say that, you're not treating me sincerely. I don't even know what to do, am I still a person! If I don't treat my sister as my own sister, I won't tell you all about the troubles at home last time. ”
Baochai smiled, "This is the reason why our sisters get along." When Baochai heard about it, he called a mother-in-law: "Go to Qingliangtai and tell the uncle, according to the big crab the day before yesterday, I will ask the old lady and aunt to enjoy the osmanthus after dinner tomorrow." You said to the uncle: Don't forget, I have already invited someone today. The mother-in-law went out to explain, and came back to tell Baochai Xiangyun: "Uncle said that he has already prepared, and he knows that Miss Shi is going to have a treat, except for the crabs, the rest are also in order, and he is waiting for the eldest girl to invite the old lady." ”
Hearing this, Baochai smiled at Xiangyun and said, "Have you seen it, my brother, has no other strengths, but this thing is done properly and can be trusted." ”
Xiang Yunqi said, "How does Big Brother Xue know what you think, Sister Bao?" Baochai naturally wouldn't say that Xue Pan also knew the predicament of Xiangyun's family, but smiled, "He has always been like this, he said yesterday that he didn't invite you to come, but he felt that it was good to accompany you, but he didn't have to take it seriously, he said that he was ready to be afraid that it would be false, or wait for me to go over and speak, and then it would be too late to ask someone to get it." ”
Xiangyun couldn't help but be a little envious of Baochai, "Pity me, who has both parents and deaths, and I don't have a brother or sister together, if I am like Sister Bao, I have a brother to take care of, and the life of the family is a little harder, and I am also willing." Baochai persuaded, "This doesn't have to be the case, the world is impermanent, some things, since we can't change things, we don't have to be sad about this impossible thing, this is what my brother Su Ri said, it used to sound absurd and uninhibited, but now that I think about it, it really makes some sense." ”
"Brother Xue's words are really good, I think about it, sometimes it's because it's a woman's family," Xiangyun sighed, "I just hate that I'm not a man, if it's a man, with what I know and learn, where in the world can't I go?" I won't be confined to these two houses, and I can't relax in peace! ”
Xiangyun is a generous person in the end, occasionally sad, and was persuaded by Baochai so, and then put it aside, so the two were talking about what poetry to do, and here Baochai said to Xiangyun: "Don't be too clever in the title of the poem, do you see that there are those tricky and strange topics and the extremely dangerous rhyme among the ancients?" If the topic is too new and the rhyme is too dangerous, no longer a good poem, but a small family. Poetry is afraid of saying familiar words, but it should not be too surviving; The first one, as long as the idea is fresh, the wording is good. In the end, this is nothing, or is it the essence of you and me. When I was free for a while, I read a few chapters of the book that was good for my body and mind, but I was still serious. Xiangyun smiled secretly, only agreed, because of the smile: "I thought in my heart, I made a begonia poem yesterday, how about I want to make a chrysanthemum poem now?" Baochai said: "The chrysanthemum is also in the scene, but there are too many people in front of it." Xiangyun said: "I think so too, I'm afraid I'll fall into the trap." Baochai thought for a while and said, "There is." Nowadays, with chrysanthemums as guests and people as the mainstay, several topics have been drawn up, all of which require two words, a virtual word and a real word. The real word is the word 'chrysanthemum', and the imaginary word is used for the general door. In this way, it is a chrysanthemum again, and it is a thing, although the predecessors have done this, it is not very set. The scenery and things are closed, and they are also fresh and generous. Xiangyun smiled: "It's good, but I don't know what imaginary words to use?" You think of one first, I'll hear it. ”
Baochai thought for a while and said with a smile: "'Ju Meng' is good." Xiangyun smiled: "It's really good." I also have one: 'Chrysanthemum Shadow' can make? Baochai said: "That's fine, but someone has done it." If there are many topics, this one is also on the table. I have another one. Xiangyun said: "Say it quickly." Baochai said: "How about 'asking Ju'?" Xiangyun's case was wonderful, and he said: "I also have: Is it okay to 'visit Ju'?" "Baochai is also funny. Because he said: "I simply draw up ten, write it down and come back." As he spoke, the two of them dipped the ink in the pen, Xiangyun wrote, Baochai read, and made up ten at a time. Xiangyun read it again, and said with a smile: "Ten is not a picture, so I simply made up twelve, and it is all done, and it is the same as other people's calligraphy and painting albums." When Baochai heard this, he thought of two more, making a total of twelve, and said, "In this way, make up an order." Xiangyun said: "It's even better, it's made into a chrysanthemum." ”
After discussing this for a while, Ying'er came to ask the two of them to rest, so they settled down and didn't mention it, just waiting for tomorrow's meeting.
