Unlike Feng Yibo and the others who were chatting and laughing, the discussion among the Qing guests over there seemed extremely intense.
Some say that the title is "Diecui", while others say that the title is "Jinzhang".
Some people say "race incense burner", and some people say "Xiao Zhongnan"...
There are more than dozens of names and colors.
But don't look at the liveliness they say. If you pay a little attention, you can hear the perfunctoryness.
Feng Yibo listened to a few of them, and they were generally better than Xue Pan's "Crooked Way".
But he also knew that this was how the Qingke people survived.
They knew that Jia Zheng wanted to test Baoyu's talent, so naturally they could only say something cliché.
To avoid accidentally suppressing this senior brother.
But because of this, it seems a bit too perfunctory.
Even Baoyu saw what Jia Zheng meant at this time.
Therefore, I have been thinking hard on the side for a long time, for fear that I will be beaten or scolded if I don't speak well.
Jia Zheng listened carefully, and naturally he didn't think it was feasible, so he wanted to go back and order Baoyu to talk about it.
Regardless of whether it was good or bad, he just gave me some advice.
But when he turned around, he saw Feng Yibo and others talking quietly.
Jia Zheng thought they were also discussing, so after hesitating for a moment, he tentatively said:
"Is Yibo any good?"
When Feng Yibo heard this, he immediately shook his head and said with a smile:
"I hope uncle will forgive me. I don't have any outstanding talents, and I haven't done anything good yet."
I didn’t even think about it, how could it happen?
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't.
With his status, either don't say it, or it's the best.
Since he wanted to give Baoyu a chance, Feng Yibo naturally couldn't even say yes.
After saying that, he turned back and started chatting with Xue Pan and others.
Seeing this, Jia Zheng finally felt relieved.
Knowing that Feng Yibo was unwilling to participate, he shouted to Baoyu beside him:
"Do you have it?"
Baoyu just thought about it for a long time and already had a draft.
At this time, he didn’t panic when asked, and said with a smile:
"I have heard the ancients say: 'It is better to write down the old than to compile the new. Carving the past is worse than the withered present.'"
Jia Zheng watched with a smile, waiting for Baoyu to show off his talents.
"Besides, this is not the main view of the main mountain. There is no need to mention it. It is just a step forward to explore the scenery."
The foreshadowing is almost the same, and Baoyu seems to be what he imagined now.
He lowered his head and pondered for a while before speaking out the plan he had already thought of and said:
"It's better to write down the old saying of the ancients, 'A winding path leads to a secluded place'. It's quite generous."
This sentence comes from a poem inscribed on a wall by Chang Jian, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. It is a line from "Inscribed on the Zen Garden Behind Poshan Temple".
The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the Zen room is deep with flowers and trees.
This poem is extremely famous, and its use here barely fits the occasion.
But in Feng Yibo's view, this sentence is not even a metaphor.
Compared with Xue Pan's own creation, they all seem inferior.
Of course, he would not reveal it, and he would only smile and nod when he heard this.
It looked like he was impressed by it.
After hearing this, all the Qing guests praised one after another:
"That's great! Wonderful!"
"Brother, you are very talented and talented!"
"Exactly! It's not like we have read rotten books!"
Xue Pan heard this and showed a bit of envy.
When Jia Zheng heard this, he was satisfied.
In the past few days, he privately inquired about Baoyu's performance in the school.
Jia Dairu praised Baoyu for his ability in making mistakes, and said that although he didn't like reading, he still had some crooked talents.
Now that I heard it, it turned out to be true.
Although it is borrowed from the ancients, it also echoes the meaning.
Hearing compliments from others, Jia Zheng felt even more proud.
He immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't praise him too much."
Seeing his attitude, everyone understood.
"As a young man, he only uses one thing to make a fool of himself, and then makes a decision later."
Although he said this, everyone knew that this was settled.
After saying that, Jia Zheng entered the cave, and everyone also entered one after another.
Feng Yibo and the others were at the end, and they also walked in slowly at this time.
As soon as I entered, I saw lush green trees and exotic flowers.
There is also a clear stream that flows from the depths of the flowers and trees into the gaps between the rocks.
Take a few more steps and gradually head north.
The place is flat and wide, with flying buildings on both sides and withered embroidered sills, all hidden among the trees in the mountain col.
I saw jade flowing down from the green stream, and stone slabs piercing the clouds.
There are also white stones as fences surrounding the pond.
Among them, the three ports of Shiqiao have animals with vomit in their mouths.
Seeing a pavilion on the bridge, Jia Zheng led everyone to the pavilion.
After everyone sat down, they asked: "Why do you think this is the topic?"
The Qing guests began to speak enthusiastically again, and one of them spoke first:
"Ouyang Gong's record of the Drunkard Pavilion at that time said: 'There is a pavilion with Yi Ran', so let's just call it 'Yi Ran'."
Xue Pan just gave him a name, and several people told him to shut up, which made him angry.
Baoyu later chose a name, but everyone present praised it and made him envious.
Now that Jia Zheng said that he wanted to choose a name, he was eager to give it a try.
The discussion there had just begun when he said to a few people around him:
"Let me tell you, the fence and pillars of this pavilion are all made of white stone. Why not call it Dabai Pavilion?"
His voice was not loud and only a few people heard it.
But there was a lesson from the "wrong way". As soon as he made a sound, several people reflexively frowned at him.
Xue Pan was a little annoyed when he saw it, and immediately said dissatisfied:
"What's wrong? Do you want to see what I do? There's nothing wrong with the name, right?"
Jia Lian and Xue Biao looked at each other, not knowing how to evaluate it.
"What Brother Wen Long said is true. It shows that Brother Wen Long is a real person."
Feng Yibo reluctantly praised a few words and sighed:
"It's a pity that I don't have wine, otherwise I would really be embarrassed for you!"
Xue Pan finally got the compliment and felt proud.
After listening to Feng Yibo's words, his eyes lit up again and he echoed:
"Yes, yes! It just means showing off! I'll go tell my uncle!"
Seeing that he actually stood up, Feng Yibo quickly stopped him and said:
"No, no, no! Let's listen to what they say first."
It's not that he's afraid that Xue Pan will steal Baoyu's limelight, but that he's afraid that Xue Pan will lose face in front of all the Qing guests.
Here, Jia Zhengzheng smiled and said:
"Although 'Yi Ran' is good, this pavilion was made by pressing water, so it needs to be named after water."
He originally didn't want to participate, but he usually respected Ouyang Xiu the most.
When I heard "You Ting Yi Ran", I became interested.
After saying that, Jia Zheng only pondered for a moment, then got inspiration and said:
"According to my humble opinion, Ouyang's sentence, 'Xie between two peaks', actually uses the word 'Xie'."
The purgers immediately echoed:
"It's the best, it's the best."
"It's actually the word 'Xie Yu' that's wonderful."
Jia Zheng couldn't help feeling proud, twirling his beard and smiling.
Suddenly he remembered that Baoyu hadn't said anything yet, so he asked Baoyu to draw one up as well.
At this time, it would be fine if Baoyu drafted something similar, or simply didn't say anything.
It's a pity that he inherited Jia Zheng's talent of not looking at facial expressions. Hearing this, he shook his head and said:
"What I just said is true, but now that I have investigated it further, it seems that it was appropriate to use the word "yixie" when Ouyang Gong mentioned Niangquan, but it seems inappropriate to use the word "xie" for this spring today."
Baoyu stepped on Jia Zheng unconsciously, then stepped out a second time and said:
"Since this is a villa for visiting relatives, it should also be in a corresponding style. Using these words seems crude and inelegant, so I hope it will be more subtle."
Jia Zheng was dissatisfied when he heard that Baoyu didn't say anything about him, but denied himself first.
But with so many people around at this time, it was naturally difficult for him to have an attack.
He couldn't even look at Baoyu, lest he couldn't help but get angry.
He first looked at the guests, then his face remained normal and he said with a smile:
"What do you think of this discussion, gentlemen? Everyone has just made up a new one. You think it's better to recount the old ones."
Having said this, he turned to Baoyu, his tone filled with dissatisfaction, and said:
"Now we are recounting the past, and you say it is inappropriate to be crude."
Having said this, he seemed to find that some of his dissatisfaction was leaking out. He couldn't help but pause for a moment before saying:
"Just tell me your story."
Baoyu didn't hear Jia Zheng's dissatisfaction, and said expectantly:
"The word 'Xieyu' is not as good as the word 'Qinfang'. Isn't it new and elegant?"
After saying that, he waited for Jia Zheng to praise him.
Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng only nodded without saying a word.
Everyone might get it wrong and just think that Jia Zheng is waiting for them to praise him.
They all praised:
"These two words are extremely new and elegant!"
"You are really talented!"
"Brothers in the world are like dragons and phoenixes!"
Jia Zheng had nowhere to vent his dissatisfaction, so he asked Baoyu again:
"It's easy to write two words on the plaque. Then make a seven-character pair."
Baoyu had played in the garden several times and knew everything about it.
So when we came here, we had already started making plans.
At this time, when he heard Jia Zheng's question, he looked around and said:
"The willows around the embankment borrow three poles of green, and the flowers on the other bank share a vein of fragrance."
After hearing this, Jia Zheng couldn't find anything wrong with it.
I can only nod and smile.
The process is still going on here, but Xue Pan feels very bored.
Of course, it's not that he can't bear to hear the flattery of those purging guests.
But these poems cannot be heard.
After hearing Baoyu's "Qinfang", Xue Pan whispered to several people around him from behind:
"Qinfang always talks nonsense when she talks about it. How can I remember it like Dabai?"
Hearing what he said, Feng Yibo was speechless.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him before sighing:
"When you see a small road and people say it's a winding path, you just say it's crooked."
"When you see a pavilion and people say it's pavilion-like, you just say the pavilion is white."
After hearing the comparison, Xue Pan couldn't help scratching his head, feeling a little ashamed.
Feng Yibo sighed softly and said again:
"Brother Wenlong, I didn't think anything about it when I was studying."
"But hearing the name you gave me today makes people understand the importance of reading."
Having said this, he paused and said with some intention:
"What a revelation!"
Feng Yibo took a roundabout way before speaking out.
It is said that knowing the importance of reading should "come to light".
But Xue Pan only understood "Dang Fu Da Bai".
Thinking that Feng Yibo would praise him in the end, he sighed:
"It's a pity there's no wine now."
When Feng Yibo heard this, he knew that what he had just said was in vain. He could only sigh and said:
"With Brother Wenlong by your side, Brother Baoyu is really like a dragon or a phoenix among men."
Xue Pan understood everything that Xue Pan didn't understand.
At this time, he also echoed helplessly:
"Indeed, the importance of reading is truly reflected in my eldest brother."
"Hahaha!"
After saying that, he and Feng Yibo looked at each other and smiled.
The two of them actually felt a bit like confidants in comparison with other people.
Xue Pan didn't understand Feng Yibo's words, but he understood Xue Pan's meaning and immediately asked with dissatisfaction:
"Brother Yibo, although you have read a lot, I don't want to listen to your words."
Feng Yibo thought he was angry and was thinking about how to deal with it.
At this time, I heard Xue Pan say first: "Is it because I don't want to study?"
"Hiss~!"
Needless to say, Feng Yibo was stunned by Xue Pan's question.
This question reminded him of a similar question in his previous life.
That is, some people suggest going to Tsinghua University, and some people suggest going to Peking University.
Someone asked: If I don’t go, is it because I don’t want to go?
For a moment, Feng Yibo felt a sense of awe.
I already felt that my teasing just now was a little too much, and then I added this.
Feng Yibo clasped his fists and said, "Brother Wenlong, I was abrupt. Reading does require talent, and you shouldn't force it."
This apology actually made Xue Pan feel embarrassed.
He scratched his head and said honestly:
"Actually, I really don't want to read it."
"Forehead?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Feng Yibo even extended his thumbs up and praised:
"Brother Wenlong is such a rare and wonderful person!"
When Jia Zheng heard their laughter, he stood up and asked:
"But Yibo is good?"
He was very dissatisfied with Baoyu at this time, so he wanted to let Feng Yibo do it.
At least it gave Baoyu a long experience.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yibo quickly waved his hands after hearing this and said:
"No, it's just that Brother Wenlong just mentioned one, called 'Dabai Pavilion'."
"Let's just sigh, Baoyu Brothers' 'Qinfang' is better."
Once these words came out, Jia Zheng couldn't let him out again.
He couldn't help laughing a few times and praised:
"This name should come to light!"
All the pilgrims couldn't help but laugh out loud, and a few praised:
"Although this name is shallow, it should be as clear as day."
"Although it is not flashy, it is better than simplicity."
"A name is like leaving a blank space, and the associations are endless."
Xue Pan was finally satisfied when he heard Qing Ke's praise.
Afterwards, everyone enjoyed the scenery together.
Every mountain, every stone, every flower and every tree should be observed carefully.
Baoyu successively picked "Youfeng Laiyi", "Red Fragrant Green Jade", "Daoxiangcun", "Polygonium Tinghuaxu" and so on.
Some of them he had already thought about, and some of them were prompted by others.
Others were intimidated by Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng seems to really hold a grudge, and his attitude has become worse and worse since "Qinfang" came to him.
He even started to curse Baoyu as a beast.
If something doesn't go his way, he will be pulled down and back again.
There is no way, he must be allowed to inscribe the plaque.
This series of operations made all the Qing guests a little embarrassed.
Jia Zheng asked Feng Yibo several times during the process, but he always said that there was no good one.
I won’t ask again later.
Xue Pan won the praise and stopped showing off.
On the contrary, a few people were bored and encouraged him to name it.
Xue Pan named them "red with green", "farmhouse", "lotus pond" and so on.
Including Xue Pan himself, everyone laughed out loud.
It seems that they have gained some true meaning of enjoying the scenery, and they seem to be enjoying themselves.
Only some wine was missing.
So we went out of the garden, and a few people met to have a drink, saying that they had to make up for the wine.
Xue Pan even clamored that he wanted to "show up".
Baoyu, on the other hand, had to think hard about topics and write poems, and then he had to be lectured and scolded.
After half a day of torture, my spirit was extremely drained.
When he came out of the garden, he had no choice but to follow Jia Zheng to the study room without waiting for Jia Zheng's instructions.
Unexpectedly, when Jia Zheng saw him following him, he frowned and lectured:
"Why don't you go to the back and see if the old lady is thinking about you?"
"It's been half a day, haven't you had enough shopping?"
Baoyu withdrew aggrievedly, but in his heart he didn't know why his father was talking about him again.
It was obviously fine before, but why did my attitude start to change after passing "Qinfang Pavilion"?
Could it be...
Is the word "Qinfang" bad?
