In the afternoon of this day, Lin Daiyu took a sedan chair into Rongguo Mansion and transferred down to the big flower hall of the inner house on West Road.

In front of the house, Su Yun and the waiter and Cui Wei were sitting on the railing by the door with some little maids talking, and then they hurriedly greeted them and said, "I just said that I was waiting for Miss Lin, but I happened to come."

"As far away as I live, and Sister-in-law Zhu didn't send a letter earlier, you should wait, and you can't complain about me."

Lin Daiyu smiled and found a place to be calm.

Several people laughed and talked for a while, so Su Yun picked up a basin of water and put it in front of Lin Daiyu, who was about to enter the house, and asked her to clean her hands.

"What's the new rule?" Zijuan looked left and right.

"It's called 'wash away the dust and enter the country without dirt.'"

In the past, the big girl who was dressed next to Li Kun explained carefully: "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and everyone will hold a poetry meeting inside, saying that everyone who joins the club will go through this."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing, looked at the still steaming water basin and said, "There are no celebrities here, but I have learned the romance of Wei and Jin, it should be the idea of the second brother Bao, right?"

Su Yun smiled and said nothing, this is an acknowledgement.

At that moment, Lin Daiyu, Zijuan and others cleaned their hands in turn, wiped off the water marks with handkerchiefs, and went to the flower hall.

Su Yun, Shishu, and Cui Wei led the way in front, led to the warm pavilion in the side hall, opened the curtain, and listened to the reply.

"Miss Lin has arrived."

Lin Daiyu came into the house, first took off her cloak and asked Zijuan to put it aside, greeted her like a willow and approached, and muttered about the entrance ceremony outside.

"I want to see how innocent you are—"

Looking inside the house, Jia Baoyu and the raiders were not there, only Sanchun Xiangyun and Li Kun gathered.

In the middle of the warm pavilion, there are two four- or five-foot pear marble tables, one for the piano and the other for the painting. On the table where Sanchun and the others were sitting on both sides, there were seven or eight square treasure inkstones, and the pens inserted in the pen holders in several other places grew like weeds.

There are also wine cups and the like, but there are not many, with a few plates of dim sum on the side, it is exactly where no one cares.

Zhu's grandmother Li Kun is the chairman's person, although she did not leave her seat at this time, she also got up and pointed to the seat next to her for Daiyu to sit.

"Good girl, we have our own advantages, so I sent you to write poetry."

Daiyu came over and sat down, and asked first, "People of the first generation, there is really nothing else to come?"

Not to mention the rest, there are so many sisters in the past, and Baoyu's figure is absolutely indispensable.

"It's true." Li Kun replied with a smile: "When they pushed me to host today, Baoyu was called away by the second master, so I thought it would be better to just invite you sisters to come. Grandma You over there in Dongfu couldn't believe it, and Grandma Xu didn't like these contacts, so we were the only ones who did things together. One of them today is to have fun, and the other is to make some preparations for welcoming relatives tomorrow, so that no one can make poems and make jokes in other people's palaces."

These things should have been prepared by Sister Feng.

But now that Sister Feng has moved out, Sanchun begged Li Kun to come out, so she had to come out to preside.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, and gathered around the right poem together, discussing the meaning and rhyme of words.

While everyone finished saying the mistakes of the poem, Shi Xiangyun found another Daiyu, pulled his sleeves, pointed to the table in the middle and said, "Sister Lin, do you really know that?"

Following what Shi Xiangyun pointed to, there were two tables in the room, and the fourth girl Xichun sat on one table, and one was empty.

"What else should I be."

Lin Daiyu glanced at the empty Yaoqin in the middle, nodded and said, "Do you know some, does Yun'er want to learn or do you want to listen?"

Shi Xiangyun immediately said happily: "I want to learn and listen."

"If you want to learn, I'm just afraid that I'll spoil you, so it's better to go and find the score first, and then find the master. If you want to hear it, you can first tell me why you moved the piano here today, and I won't go if you don't make it clear."

I actually refused to do a single thing.

Seeing that Xiangyun's face became complaining, Daiyu cupped Xiangyun's face with both hands and said, "I can't see this."

As he spoke, he turned to the side with Xiangyun's face.

In the past, when Daiyu was in Rongfu, she had never seen these things, and the elderly maid didn't even mention it. Today, it is abnormal, how could Daiyu not be born to question Xiangyun.

Li Kun smiled at this time: "Spare her, it's really special today, so I moved the piano out."

Not far away, Yingchun saw her sister Tanchun looking at her, but she didn't speak, so she carefully walked over and explained, "It's actually the big sister's business......

"That's for her to guess first."

Li Kun hurriedly stopped Yingchun's words, and came to ask Daiyu with a smile.

"You came late, and you don't take the initiative to ask, so no one should have mentioned it to you in Su Ri. Now you have to guess what the maid next to the virtuous concubine Niangniang will be called tomorrow, and you can guess it accurately, I will give you a good deed."

Originally, when she heard Yingchun talk about her eldest sister Yuanchun, Lin Daiyu had a little more guesses, and after listening to Li Kun's words, these guesses were almost confirmed.

It is no wonder that up and down the Rong Mansion, a prosperous and prosperous family, the home of Hanmo poetry and books, there has never been half a "qin" word, it turned out that he entered the palace with his eldest sister Yuanchun.

"Ordinary people mention that piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are connected, so there is no need to talk about this......

Daiyu first talked about the front without thinking, and then looked at the people in the warm pavilion, only to see the second girl Yingchun maid called Si Qi, the third girl Tanchun maid called the waiter, and the fourth girl cherished the spring maid called into the painting.

"The name of the maid of the virtuous concubine can be determined first, and the word 'qin' will be followed first."

Daiyu guessed again: "Sister Siqi and the painting are a pair, the previous meaning should be higher, the servant and the eldest should also be a pair, maybe it is more popular, it should be Fengqin, hugging the qin, or asking the qin and the like."

After listening to Daiyu's words, Li Kun couldn't help but clap his hands in agreement, and said to Su Yun next to him: "I didn't believe that Miss Lin was as smart as they said, but now it turns out that I am shallow."

Xiangyun, Yingchun and others were also laughing with their mouths covered, and they didn't stop for a while.

The maid next to the eldest sister Yuanchun is called Baoqin, and she has been in the palace for almost ten years.

After everyone stopped laughing and explained, Lin Daiyu said: "It's a coincidence to hear this, the name of the elder turns out to be reasonable, the eldest sister loves the qin, the second sister loves chess, Tanchun loves words, cherishes spring and loves painting."

"That's why I said that everyone has their own advantages, and now only you are left to write poetry." Li Kun nodded in agreement.

Daiyu's poems are excellently written, and everyone has read them.

The second girl, Yingchun, listened attentively and asked Daiyu, "What about Baochai? I just think she can do everything, but she can't say the best."

Qin and chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, Lin Daiyu learned them under the influence of Lin Ruhai since she was a child.

And Baochai is different, he is from the imperial businessman's portal, but he takes the initiative to learn literature and art, and he can get along with Sanchun without mentioning it, and the matter of female popularity is not lost to any needlework.

It's all strengths, but it's not good for people at this time.

Daiyu couldn't answer this for a while, thought about Baochai's figure, and replied after a while: "She is a gentleman, she knows a lot but doesn't show off, I'm afraid that it will be a matter of duty."

When Li Kun heard Daiyu say this, he felt a little like he was mentioning himself.

She is the daughter of the country's priest and wine, and she also knows a little bit about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but now she is widowed, and she has not done good things to come forward, so she gave Daiyu the matter of playing the piano today.

Li Kun is a widow, and he lives like this by guarding his son Jia Lan, but Xue Baochai is different, he was in his youth when he was in Rongfu, and everything he did was his temperament.

After Daiyu recalled this, this is 'a gentleman's unspeakable'.

That's quite a boastful statement.

"—that was not right."

A retort abruptly *** came.

Everyone heard that it was the voice of the fourth girl who cherished spring, and they were busy listening to her.

Now Xichun is also a person who can reach the cardamom years, and he has grown up, and he doesn't seem to have stage fright when he sees everyone in the house.

"The second sister may love to play chess, and I usually arrive

Where is she going, it would be strange if she couldn't hear the movement of the chess pieces one day. The third sister has a serious inner study, and there are several shelves piled up on the inkstone, and the old men who copy the words are all praised...... It's just that it's hard for me to say 'love' it when I come to paint, but because I heard people say that, I spent a lot of time learning it, and now I don't know what else to do, so I keep the scroll more and more."

Xichun did not mention Xue Baochai, but was just refuting the previous correspondence of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she hesitated slightly, and then came to Xichun to admit her mistake: "It turned out that my words were rash and casual."

He who has never studied his sincerity in detail asserts that he who loves this and that is indeed self-righteous in it

"The incident of Baochai before, as well as what Sister Xichun said, made it seem that I have become vulgar...... Now I have to help you write and write, and I will talk about writing poetry in a few days."

Lin Daiyu said and sighed faintly.

Li Kun suddenly smiled and said, "This is false again, you must not have this heart, otherwise you will be vulgar, and we will all be there." It's not interesting to scatter hastily, you just play the piano and write poems, if you don't have you, it's better not to start the poetry club, otherwise I'm afraid of other people's jokes."

Daiyu was originally in a low mood, but after hearing Li Kun say this, she had no choice but to show a smile in front of her.

It's just that she didn't want to play the piano first, so she asked Li Kun, and she and Xiangyun pushed Li Kun to go to the middle first and help adjust the piano column with her own hands.

Li Kun couldn't put it off this time, so he had to sit down, afraid that he wouldn't play well, so he repeatedly mentioned what had already happened.

Before long, the sound of the piano floated in the warm pavilion and came out around the banquet.

Lin Daiyu listened to it on the side, and complained about herself for a while.

- It should be that after having a marriage with my father, now that I have a few years of free time, I can do whatever I want. Today, I came to the Rong Mansion again, and without words, I almost showed a vice-arrogant appearance.

After Li Kun's song was played, Lin Daiyu came back to her senses.

Complaining in her heart and putting it aside first, seeing Li Kun wiping the fine sweat on her forehead and getting up, Daiyu couldn't shirk it, so she had to sit down too.

"Zheng—"

First, a long whistle suddenly appeared, and under the light dance between Daiyu's fingers, the sound of the piano gushed out like a spring.

This timbre was a little duller than before, lying out of the flower hall like water, and spreading into the outer hall.

……

The second master, Jia Zheng, came out of the backyard with Jia Baoyu after visiting Jia's mother at this time, and was listening to the sound of the piano.

When one eye is sad, the other eye is yearning.

"Master, I'm ......."

Baoyu was about to ask for instructions, but he was scolded by Jia Zheng in front of him.

"Something that doesn't make it! I still want to mingle with my sister and sister, just imagine how many days can the old lady let you stay here?"

"Now your eldest sister's intimacy is a big deal, she has always been close to you when she was at home, but you still don't care? that I may raise you rebellious beast."

Jia Zheng scolded, threw off his sleeves and left, quietly hiding the tears in his eyes.

Fang walked a few steps, and when he saw that Jia Baoyu hadn't caught up in time, he couldn't help but become more and more angry.

"Don't keep up yet! If you have half of your second brother's ability, what if I follow your lawlessness?"

Jia Baoyu had no choice but to bow his head and follow up and enter the north-south road.

Inside the Big Flower Hall.

The person who stroked the qin suddenly stopped moving, and the gurgling water stopped for a while, but the room was still silent for a while.

This is not a sad song, but when Daiyu raised her eyes to look, the expression of the room was rarely stretched, and it was the scene when I didn't know who cried the most in the seat.

The concubine is provincial, and the people in the house are not as happy as the people outside the house.
