The fat girl took the two things into the house, and it took a long time to come out, with a bright face, and said with a smile: "My old mother has been here for three years, and for the first time, I saw four girls who were willing to go out to meet guests together, and the four masters waited a while, the girls were changing their clothes!"

The four of them were happy and nervous.

After a while, a Peugeot little girl came out of it, bowed deeply, and said, "Please invite four masters to come in." ”

Ren Tianqi and the four of them followed the girl into the inner room.

The inside is different from the outside, warm, light and fragrant, and the four seasons are like spring.

I saw four girls standing inside, and seven little girls standing behind them. All the girls are petite and tender, jade and icy, especially the four young ladies, one red, one green, one white and one gray, each with its own charm and difference. Although he was in the Red Mansion, there was a righteousness between heaven and earth between his eyebrows and could not be offended, and the four of Ren Tianqi suddenly lost that kind of frivolity.

The ladies saluted and invited everyone to take their seats.

The fat girl stepped forward and said with a smile: "Four masters, this red-clothed is the poetry fairy red embroidery, this white-clothed is the qinxian Suyue, this green-clothed is the chess fairy Fengling, and this gray-clothed is the painting fairy nectar." Of the four girls, the one holding the fan is Uncle Wen, the youngest is Uncle Lin, the young one is Uncle Ren, and the last one is Uncle Tang. Okay, let's talk slowly, Mom, I'll quit first. ”

The fat woman went out, and the women got up to see each other off.

Everyone in the room sat upright on their chairs, speechless.

The red embroidery was high-spirited, cheerful, and said with a smile: "The four masters invited our four sisters to come out, but it costs money, so how can we sit like this."

Don't suffer a loss? Poetry, qin, chess, and painting, our four sisters each look the same, I don't know what the four masters want?"

A little red smiled and said: "Among the four people, it is an honor to be able to see the faces of the four girls, and I am satisfied." As for money, it is nothing but something outside the body. We're just looking forward to talking and chatting with the girls. However, it is better to introduce it to the first in the next, my brother Ren Xian is quite literate; this Lin brother is empty and unlearned; this Tang Xian brother seems to be only interested in martial arts and poisoning, and I pulled him over; in the next little poetry, qin, calligraphy and painting, but the writing is not as good as Ren Xian's brother, if the red girl wants to talk about poetry, don't look for it, and think that she is inferior below. ”

Hongxiu covered her mouth and smiled: "Uncle Wen is quick and straightforward, and the little woman admires it." Why don't you ask Uncle Wen to play a song first?"

A little red nodded, and a girl had already presented a five-line xylophone.

got up a little red, and after playing the song "The Strong Man Goes East and Will Not Return", the four girls applauded.

A little red smiled and said: "My virtuous brother used to be known as the Jade Flute, and his attainments are not under me. ”

Su Yue said with a smile: "It just so happens that Sister Min's jade flute upstairs is still in my room, so I will ask someone to take it, and I hope that Uncle Ren will appreciate it." ”

Ren Tianqi nodded, thinking that if he came, he would be safe, not to mention that the other party was a watery person, and it was impossible to refuse.

After a while, the girl came back and handed over a green jade flute, Ren Tianqi looked at it carefully, and unconsciously remembered the ups and downs of the past seven years, and remembered the song "Falling Soul Slope" taught by the uncle, so the transverse flute closed her eyes and played, and she didn't feel that tears fell from the depths.

After the song was blown, everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, and several girls frequently wiped away their tears. There was silence in the room.

Hearing the voice of a person outside the door behind him: "What a song "Falling Soul Slope"! Let the old body see, who can blow so tragically?"

Ren Tianqi was shocked when he heard this, there were people here who knew "Falling Soul Slope".

The four girls looked up and saw the visitor, and hurriedly got up to salute.

Ren Tianqi looked up and saw an old man, a young man and two girls standing at the door. The elder was in his 40s, dressed in yellow and had a delicate face, and the young girl was dressed in a green dress, plump and dignified, and was under 20.

Ren Tianqi knew that the lady in front of him must be an old man from Ren Jiabao, so he also hurriedly got up to salute and said, "I've seen Mrs., I'm ugly." ”

When someone came into the room, a girl moved over the chair and poured tea.

The lady sat down, looked at Ren Tianqi carefully, and asked, "Who taught Gongzi this song "Falling Soul Slope"?"

Ren Tianqi said: "Uncle Xia." ”

"Where is the Childe's Mansion?"

"Guangling Renjiabao, in the next year is 19 years old. Ren Tianqi said.

The old lady waved her hand at a girl and said, "Go and inform the fat sister-in-law, prepare some high-quality wine and food, and let these uncles eat before going back." ”

The girl flew out.

Ren Tianqi and the four of them were already restrained, but now that things have changed, they are even more forced, and they don't know what to do.

Hongxiu picked up the poem written by Ren Tianqi, stepped forward and handed it to the girl who came later, and said with a smile: "Sister Min, please look at the draft written by Ren Yecao, and hope that my sister will be correct." Hongxiu raised her head and glanced at Ren Tianqi affectionately.

The woman took the list, snorted in her nose, and said contemptuously: "This is written to you, what's the matter with me!" After looking down, she glanced at Ren Tianqi again, and sneered: "Ren Gongzi is also straightforward, and his family is accompanied by beautiful relatives, and he is here just to see a few younger sisters, but he is also a rare upright gentleman." Hmph, what kind of place do you treat me as a Hongxuan, I can't help but think about it, I'm too sentimental and self-righteous!"

Ren Tianqi was embarrassed.

Hongxiu glanced at Ren Tianqi and sat down in his seat.

Miss Min said to Hongxiu: "This son is outstanding in literature, how does it compare with you, a poet immortal, has he ever divided the upper and lower?"

Hongxiu smiled: "How dare the little woman compare with Ren Ye, Sister Jinmin is here again, how can she have the reason to get the little sister's head?"

Miss Min snorted.

Ren Tianqi got up and saluted, and said, "It's just a random graffiti, it's all a lot, how can it be compared with the two young ladies." ”

Miss Min sneered: "Hey, I can't see that Ren Gongzi is still quite arrogant, just write a stroke or two, and it will touch the hearts of the four sisters, especially our sister Shixian;

The lady waved her hand and interrupted: "Min'er is not allowed to have a surname. Ren Gongzi is polite, he doesn't have the same knowledge as you, don't know the sky and the earth. Ren Gongzi should not be surprised. ”

Ren Tianqi smiled.

Miss Min was silent on the side.

The lady also loved her daughter, and said with a smile: "Ren Gongzi, for the sake of the old identity, why don't you stoop to compete with the little girl?"

Ren Tianqi got up and said with a smile: "The old lady is polite, and the younger generation is more respectful than obeying her fate." I'm afraid it will make all the girls laugh. ”

Miss Min was very unimpressed, and said to Hongxiu: "How to compare the law, please ask my sister to take the master's opinion, so as to save someone from talking behind her back, which makes people unquiet!"

The red embroidery was dizzy, glanced at Ren Tianqi, turned around and whispered a few times to the wind spirit beside her, raised her head and smiled: "The little woman doesn't know what the son is reciting, and it is convenient to write the pair of ancient poems, so she doesn't need to work too much." Or, try to compose poems and couplets, each with two rounds, without distinguishing between high and low, and use it as a pastime?"

The middle-aged lady smiled: "This is very good, Xiu'er is right, until the point is reached, will you meet friends with poetry?" ”

Miss Min smiled, "Do some people seem to be duplicitous?"

Hongxiu said with a red face: "The poem is based on winter, white jade as the theme, and the couplet is based on Sister Min's old lady and me and other four people and six people, and it is limited to one pillar of incense. How?"

Miss Min glanced at Ren Tianqi and said with a smile: "That's it." ”

Ren Tianqi also scratched his head and nodded.

has her own girl to light incense, and Ren Min and the two conceive on the side.

The women and the old lady talked to Wen Tingyu and others about some rumors and trivial matters in the world, and a little red and chess fairy Feng Ling went to the side to play chess to catch the right pair.

After a pillar of incense was burned, Ren Min and the two finished their poems, and they both handed over to the red embroidery.

At first, the red embroidery body read two seven-character poems by Miss Demin:

snow

Falling flowers Yangzhou Lou Yihong,

The mountains and rivers are far away.

Pedestrians hurriedly dressed in heavy clothes,

Do you know that the coming year will be a good harvest?

Jade pendant

Stone is bright and beautiful,

The hanging willow is turbulent and pulls the belt.

The fresh wind urges the head of the mantis,

Didn't dare to break Shu, no one came.

I read two more poems by Ren Tianqi:

snow

The wind rises from the north,

Snow from the outside.

Thousands of miles away,

Han came with Yangzhou.

White Dragon Jade

Longpan sheep fat poly,

Hanging over the wind branches.

I don't know what it is worth,

They are competing to know.

Miss Zi Min's words are vivid and appropriate, and her language is beautiful.

Hongxiu said with a smile: "Sister Min is really quick-thinking, ingenious, and thoughtful. The little sister sighed to herself. ”

Miss Min looked up at Ren Tianqi.

Ren Tianqi arched his hand.

Miss Min looked at her mother happily, and the old lady smiled and nodded.

Hongxiu said: "Which of these pairs will come first?"

Miss Min smiled: "I am the master, people are guests, of course, people come out first, so that no one will say that I am not good in the future." ”

Hongxiu blushed and smiled: "Then please let Master Ren come out first." ”

Ren Tianqi said: "Let's start with the four girls. Miss Min, please listen up, this link is:

Xiuyue Lingfeng nectar red life is good. ”

This sentence is very wonderful, and the stage names of the four girls are all in it, which is very neat.

Miss Min glanced at Ren Tianqi a few more times when she heard this, and sneered: "Ren Gongzi is very good at making girls happy, but it's a pity that there are already beautiful relatives in the family, I'm afraid it's difficult to get my way!"

Ren Tianqi couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. The red embroidery girl was very tempted by Ren Tianqi, but she was just stunned by Ren Tianqi all the time.

When the old lady heard this, she took Ren Tianqi's "Yi Hongxuan" and looked at it, and smiled.

Miss Min said: "My next link is:

The pink and green shirts are dark and fragrant, and the four women are like fairies. ”

The crowd applauded.

The old lady said: "Min'er is lacking a white color, a little insufficient, and this round when the son wins." ”

Miss Min said: "There is another comparison." Please use my mother and daughter as the genre to make a couplet. ”

Ren Tianqi got up and waved at the old lady and blurted out: "

Chrysanthemum, yellow and green pine, cold snow, and chrysanthemum smile. ”

Hongxiu laughed out loud when she heard the sound and said, "This Ren Ye is also a little stingy, right?"

Miss Min was stunned.

The old lady lowered her head and thought for a while, even raised her mother's finger, and said with a smile: "Ren Gongzi has an overreputation, but I am afraid that I will offend the little girl so much." ”

Miss Min was stunned for a moment, and the old lady pointed to her dress and smiled: "Aren't our dresses one yellow and one green?"

Miss Min was startled, her cheeks flew red, she glared at Hongxiu, and said unconvinced: "Hmph, this next couplet is:

The maid is red and pink, and the fragrant room plays the old man's love and childishness. ”

After that, he shook his jade feet, flew out of the room, and suddenly turned back, picked up the green jade flute from the table, glanced at Ren Tianqi, and ran away.

The old lady laughed.

Ren Tianqi and Hongxiu were restless.

The old lady got up and said, "I've been spoiled since I was a child, and I can't stand the slightest grievance." If Ren Gongzi finds it convenient, please move upstairs, the old man has a few words to ask. ”

Ren Tianqi raised his head and swept his eyes a little red, got up and grabbed his sword, and said, "The juniors listen to the old lady." ”

The old lady walked to the door, turned back to Ganlu behind her, and said, "Wan'er go and tell the fat sister-in-law that the four sons are here and there, don't talk about getting money." ”

Manna salute goes out.

When she came upstairs, Miss Min was still angry, and when she saw her mother bringing Ren Tianqi up, she blushed even more, and was about to go back to the room to hide.

The old lady shouted: "Min'er, don't be unreasonable, come and see Senior Brother Ru Ren!"

Ren Min and the others were stunned.

Miss Min stepped forward with a red face and gave Ren Tianqi a deep salute, and said in a low voice: "Little sister Nangong Min has seen senior brother. ”

Ren Tianqi hurriedly clasped his hands together and looked at the old lady in confusion.

The old lady waved her hand, asked the two to sit down, and said with a smile: "Is Ren Songyi Uncle Ru?"

Ren Tianqi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The old lady said, "Is this sword of yours a spotted bamboo sword?"

Ren Tianqi nodded.

Nangong Min stepped forward and grabbed the Spotted Bamboo Sword, pulled out the sword with his backhand, and said in surprise: "Mom, this is Uncle Ren's Spotted Bamboo Sword?"

The old lady stared at Ren Tianqi and said, "Nangong Xiong is your teacher?"

Ren Tianqi was even more surprised, I don't know why this old lady knew everything clearly, so she hurriedly got up and bowed down, and said, "Dare to ask the old man who you are?"

The old lady stretched out her hand to pick up Ren Tianqi and said with a smile: "Nangong Xiong is Min'er's biological father." ”

It turned out that the old lady's name in the rivers and lakes was Bai Yufeng, a native of Dali, who was known as the Golden Phoenix of Dali, and came to the Central Plains to get acquainted with Ren Songyi, and later married Nangong Xiong. The three of them are all under the Ghost Valley Gate, Nangong Xiong is the jade-faced Yama, Ren Songyi is the black ghost of the Ghost Gate, and Bai Yufeng is the yellow-clothed maid. Ten years ago, when an accident occurred and everyone dispersed, Nangong Xiong's family came to Yangzhou and bought the Red Mansion as an excuse to live. Nangong Xiong has been walking the rivers and lakes outside under the name of the divine doctor Gu Yiping, coming and going. Ren Songyi is erudite and versatile, more than ten years ago, he saw the Song family cutting the land and seeking peace, and the people were not able to make a living, and he composed this song "Falling Soul Slope" in his grief. Everyone knows each other well.

Mrs. Bai was reading a book upstairs, and when she heard this song, she thought that Ren Songyi's old man was coming, and she was busy taking her downstairs to greet her, but it was Ren Tianqi.

Ren Tianqi briefly recounted the events of the past seven years.

Madame Bai nodded, and said with a tearful smile: "Brother Yi is in Shaolin, it is a little sad, this is not his original intention, fortunately, it is a great blessing to have you to inherit his former ability." ((See "Spotted Bamboo Jade Flute", one of the "Xishu Hall").

Ren Tianqi was silent, thinking: Uncle, the master has never told me about the Guigu Gate, and the master is just passing by today, and I don't seem to want to talk about it more, I don't have to go into it, and I will naturally know when the time comes.

Ren Tianqi hurriedly got up and saluted Nangong Minyi, and said with a smile: "I just made fun of my junior sister, it's my brother's fault, and I hope that my junior sister will dry in the sea." ”

Madame Bai said with a smile: "The four girls below are also Senior Sister Ru, Hongxiu's original name is Hu Xuefei, Fengling's original name is Zhao Mingqun, Suyue's original name is Ning Yizhi, and Ganlu's original name is Sheng Wanyu. ”

Nangong Min raised his hand and smiled: "Who let you be a senior brother, forget about the past." I'm not like some people's small-bellied chicken intestines! It's just that my brother really has a treasure in his family?"

Madame Bai also looked at Ren Tianqi.

Ren Tianqi nodded and said, "The daughter of the King of the South of the Great Jin Kingdom." ”

Mrs. Bai's mother and daughter sighed and looked at each other.

The three of them talked about something more.

Hongxiu went upstairs to invite the three of them downstairs for dinner, and Mrs. Bai told Ren Tianqi and the three of them not to tell the matter of Guigumen and each other's brothers and sisters outside.

After everyone finished the meal, they sat down for a while, and the four of them went back to the Qiling Temple.
