Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

103

Sister Feng and Daiyu were drinking tea in the flower hall, chatting with each other, and Daiyu said to Sister Feng: "Sister-in-law, after reciting the rhymes, you can continue to read "The Complete Works of Wang Mojie", Du Fu's seven-character verses. I like Li Qinglian's quatrains. When my sister-in-law understands their poems thoroughly, Ying'er should also learn "The Book of Songs". Others know what’s good and what’s bad.”

Sister Feng was a little discouraged when she thought of the effort she had put into the vastness of Tang and Song poetry.Daiyu advised Sister Feng, "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much, and you don't have to memorize every capital. Pick out what you like, and memorize it by heart. There are also some unique words and sentences, which are very artistic after careful consideration. Just treat them as paintings." .”

Sister Feng said: "What my cousin said is true. A good poem, it really feels like seeing a painting. A few days ago, the song "Like a Dream" written by Lay Yi An: Last night, the wind was drooping and the rain was violent, and I slept deeply. I don’t want to drink the remaining wine, but I tried to test the begonia, but I said that the begonia is still the same. Do you know, do you know, it should be green, fat, red and thin! Why do I feel that I like this.”

"I didn't expect my sister-in-law to like Layman Yi'an's words. I thought my sister-in-law would like Layman Dongpo."

Sister Feng smiled: "Layman Dongpo's poems are generous, I like them very much. But he is a scumbag, you can see that he's 'this love has gone to the clouds', obviously he gave people away as toys, and even put them on A deep and affectionate look, vomit."

Daiyu laughed, concubines are just things, and it's normal to send them back and forth. Thinking of Sister Feng's food and use for Ping'er, it's almost like Sister Feng's. Or sent out.

If Sister Feng knew what was going on in Daiyu's mind, she would shake her and shout, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

The sister-in-law and the sister-in-law sat and drank tea and chatted, and unconsciously talked about the lake outside the west wall, "Sister-in-law, do you think the lotus in the lake will bloom this year?"

"Of course it will. In previous years, there were lotus flowers in the lake, but this year there are more varieties. Wait until June and July, and there will naturally be a scene of endless green lotus leaves reaching the sky and lotus flowers reflecting the sun. At that time Close the west courtyard for a day, and let's go boating to enjoy the lotus."

Daiyu chuckled, "Sister-in-law, what on earth have you read? Some good poems, I don't know, sometimes I often recite a few that suit the occasion."

Sister Feng smiled, and said to herself: Can I tell you how many books I have memorized ancient poems, sayings and sentences, ha ha.

"Mr. Chengzhai's "Cold Food in the Rain" 'Sit and watch the jumping beads and throwing jade again, and suddenly a spray reaches the eaves.' It describes the agility of the spring water. This kind of poem is a beautiful painting. My sister-in-law loves it. You can read it slowly."

"This sentence is good. Daiyu, you said that Mr. Chengzhai, who is the servant of the official department and manages people, can write such sentences. The servant of the official department is the person who knows people's hearts best." room for emotion and incomprehension.

"Sister-in-law, the servant of the official department is doing things, and writing poetry is a person's state of mind. It's two different things."

Sister Feng clapped her hands, "My sister is still transparent and can see clearly. Poetry is only based on one's own state of mind, and things must be arranged by the superior."

When the servant girl came up to exchange tea for the two, a young servant ran over and said out of breath, "Second Grandma,"

Sister Feng comforted the boy, "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, take a breath and speak slowly."

The young man gasped for a while, and bowed steadily to Sister Feng and Daiyu: "Second Mistress, Cousin, the people who read the list came back and said that all the cousins ​​of the Zhang family won. The master has already distributed rewards outside." He said that if Second Mistress is fine, she will go to the Zhang family."

Sister Feng was very happy, and said to Feng'er: "Give this child a first-class seal. Let's pack up and go there." Then she turned to Daiyu and said, "My cousin's house is in your hands, and Ying'er is also in your care. Sister-in-law will come back soon."

"Ping'er, go back and look after the little boy, and I'll leave it to you."

Daiyu and Hepinger agreed, and Sister Feng hurriedly changed her clothes and went to the Zhang family to congratulate her.

In Jiamu's main room, when Xiangyun fell to the sound of the vase shattering, everyone in the room was stunned.

Baoyu was the closest to Xiangyun, but his face turned pale with fright, and his legs shook like chaff, and he couldn't move.Zhongjinghou rushed over in a few steps, and pulled Baoyu aside who was blocking the way.Baoyu stepped back a few steps and sat on the ground. Mrs. Wang rushed towards Baoyu as if she had killed someone, and took Baoyu into her arms.

Marquis Zhongjing hugged Xiangyun, with tears in his tiger eyes, looked at the blood on Xiangyun's head and face, and said in a trembling voice, "Jia Cunzhou, wait." He turned around and walked out with Xiangyun in his arms.

Jia Zheng reacted quickly this time, knowing that Marquis Zhongjing could not be left alone, so he carried him away from Jia's mansion, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Cousin, stop the girl's bleeding first."

Yuanyang handed over a few plain handkerchiefs, and Mrs. Shi pressed the wound on Xiangyun's head, the scratches on his face, and the broken pieces of the vase, but she didn't dare to touch it.

The doctor who was invited because of Xiangyun's investment, just happened to be invited here at this meeting.The doctor treated Xiangyun's injury carefully, and then said: "It's okay for the head, it will be covered by the hair in the future, it's the face that will leave scars." If you get wet, can't eat hair, and eat light food, you will be sent out with a reward.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly ordered her men to chase them out, and told Lang Zhong not to speak out.

Xiangyun lay unconscious in Jiamu's room with a pale face, and Yuanyang led someone to carefully wipe off the blood on Xiangyun's face and hair.

Marquis Zhongjing and Marquis Baoling glared at Jia Zheng, "Jia Cunzhou, if you don't satisfy us today, we'll go to the Supreme Court to file a lawsuit."

Zhong Jinghou yelled at Jia's mother angrily, "Auntie, you have been raising Xiangyun in Jia's mansion all year round, and finally raised the Hou family's prostitute daughter like this? Are you worthy of the ancestors of the historians? Are you worthy of me? Father? Are you sorry for my elder brother?"

Mother Jia didn't expect things to be like this. Hou Zhongjing pointed at her face and questioned and accused her. She was also angry, but she didn't know what to say.

Zhongjing Hou saw that Jia's mother was silent, and Jia Zheng also pretended to be dumb. Mrs. Wang put Baoyu in her arms and only checked whether Baoyu had fallen.Angrily, he pointed at Jia Zheng, "Jia Cunzhou, how have we brothers treated you all these years? How have you treated the Jia family? You are a side branch of the Jia family," Fu pointed at Jia Baoyu and cursed: "You are the second son of a fifth-rank official, you bastard who only knows how to eat the maid's rouge every day, do you think you can climb up to the first daughter of the Hou Mansion? If it wasn't because of you," Zhong Jinghou turned his fingers again. Jia's mother was about to burst into tears, "You, my elder brother's only blood, was so spoiled by your historian's aunt. When I go back, I will ask the patriarch to expel your clan membership. Let's see what face your Jia family has to go out!" .”

Seeing his mother being threatened and insulted by his cousin, Jia Zheng could only bow to Lord Zhongjing, "Cousin, cousin, calm down, mother definitely doesn't want to do this."

Marquis Zhongjing slapped Jiazheng with a murderous look, "Second Jia, I have been taking care of you for 20 years. Even a dog knows how to be grateful. Tell me, what happened today?"

Jia Zheng had no choice but to turn his head and say to Jia's mother, "Mom, what do you think?"

At this time Yuanyang came over and said, "Miss Yun is awake."

The second wife and the third wife of the Shi family hurried to see Xiangyun with Yuanyang, and Jia Mu, also supported by the maid, moved tremblingly, struggling to see Xiangyun.

No matter what, Mrs. Shi Er didn't want to see Xiangyun, but now she saw this 12-year-old girl, her eyes were confused, her blood-stained clothes hadn't been changed, and she was full of pity.

"Yun'er, how do you feel?"

"Second aunt, I want to go home." Xiangyun weakly demanded.

"Yun'er, don't worry, wait for your second uncle and third uncle to seek justice for you first."

Mother Jia came over tremblingly, "Yun'er, Yun'er? You feel sorry for my old bones. If you are like this, how can I go to see your grandfather and your parents!" Mother Jia burst into tears.No matter what, she never thought that things would come to this point.

Zhong Jinghou followed from behind and said, "So, it's Yun girl's fault?" No one dared to say anything.

Zhong Jinghou asked Xiang Yun, "If you want to marry, will you eat the rouge on the girl's mouth?"

Xiangyun's eyes turned to Baoyu, and Baoyu looked at Xiangyun and wanted to step forward, but when he heard what Zhongjinghou said, he hid behind Mrs. Wang.The tears in Xiangyun's eyes remained, "No, Second Uncle, I don't."

"Okay. Our historian family has two lords, the eldest daughter of the dignified lord's mansion, what kind of good man can't be found, and I have to wait for the second son of a fifth-rank official. Second uncle will find you a better than this trash Strong young hero."

Bao Linghou also came up to comfort his niece and daughter. Seeing that Xiangyun was fine, he said to Zhongjinghou, "Let's go back. Do whatever we need to do."

Mrs. Shi Er ordered her mother-in-law to hug Xiangyun, and the group ignored Jia Zheng's plea and left Jia's mansion.

After waiting for the person to leave, Jia Zheng spewed out his humiliation at Baoyu, "How many times have you changed your bad habits, you evil beast, you are an unfilial son, and your grandmother has been humiliated. Come, give Baoyu to me." I tied them up and beat them."

Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Zheng was out of temper, and she didn't dare to stop her. She looked like Jia's mother begging for help with tears streaming down her face.

Mother Jia shook her body, "Second brother, come and beat me to death." She was about to fall backwards.
