Chapter 219: Feng Yuan sings plum blossoms and greets the spring with shyness
When Li Wan saw the two sisters singing in harmony, he envied his junior brother's blessing.
Seeing Daiyu's expression again, I suddenly knew a little bit about her thoughts.
It was just that Baochai could ask at any time, but she had to wait for another two years.
It is inevitable to feel a little sour in my heart.
At this time, Li Wan deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied, took out the air of being in charge of the altar and said:
"Are you still listening to what I, the president, have to say?"
After hearing this, the two people quickly straightened their postures.
Daiyu also temporarily put away her thoughts.
Seeing this, Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief and continued with a smile:
"Nowadays, many of us have started a club. The second and fourth girls, myself, my second sister, and my third sister are not good at writing poems."
Tanchun then smiled and reminded:
"You already have a number, so why don't you just call it that? It's better not to have one! If you make a mistake in the future, you have to make a penalty agreement."
"We will decide the penalty later!"
Li Wan glared at her, and Tanchun shrank immediately.
Seeing that the majesty of his eldest sister-in-law was still there, Li Wan continued:
"So, we have to let some of us go, and each of us will do our own things."
When everyone heard this, they naturally had no objections.
"We have a lot of people, and I am not enough as the president. I need to hire a few more vice-presidents."
After saying this, Li Wan stretched out his hand and said:
"I asked two scholars from Lingzhou and Ouxie to come up with the title and rhyme, and Empress E's daughter-in-law transcribed it in the prison."
Both pairs of sisters nodded in agreement.
Others originally wanted to persuade Li Wan, Yingchun and Xichun to say a few words.
Seeing Li Wan say this, it was hard to force him.
Naturally, they all reluctantly complied.
Seeing that no one objected anymore, Li Wan thought for a while and added:
"We can't just stop doing it. If we come across an easier title and rhyme, we can just do it."
Everyone nodded and said, "That's exactly what it should be."
"This time we are in Feng's Mansion. If we are in Jia's Mansion next time, we can also stay at my place. My place is bigger."
Before this time started, Li Wan thought of next time and said:
"Although I can't write poetry, these poets are not tired of vulgarity. They allowed me to be their host, and I naturally became elegant."
"Giggle!"
When everyone saw what she said was interesting, they immediately covered their mouths and chuckled.
Since there were many people in the Jia family present, they all nodded in agreement after hearing this.
As the landowner, Baochai also helped to check and fill in the gaps, saying:
"In order to let the president know, we should also agree on how many days we will meet."
Tanchun nodded when he heard this, then smiled and suggested:
"If you only care about doing too much and it's boring, you can only do it three or two times a month."
Baochai pondered for a moment, thinking that there were still things to deal with at home.
Of course we can't meet every day.
He immediately agreed: "Just two times a month is enough. Make a date, rain or shine."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Baochai said thoughtfully:
"Except for these two days, if there is someone who is happy, she is willing to join a club, or invite him to live there, or join him, and make it lively and interesting, wouldn't it?"
When everyone heard this, they even applauded:
"This is a better idea."
"Poets should be casual!"
"Go if you want to, but don't go if you don't want to!"
Li Wan nodded when he heard this and immediately made the decision:
"Today is the sixteenth day. From now on, I will open the club on the second and sixteenth day of every month."
Thinking of Tanchun and Baochai's words, she added:
"It's up to me to set the topic and limit the rhyme. If you are happy during this period, just choose another day to make up for the opening. Even if the club is opened every day for a month, I don't care."
She usually takes care of these sisters, and she looks a bit dictatorial like a teacher.
"It's just that on the second day of junior high school, you will definitely go to my place, and on the sixteenth day, you will come to Feng Mansion."
Originally, she was busy with mundane affairs in the mansion and hadn't been to Feng Mansion for a while.
Now that I have become proficient in it, I will be able to enjoy it at my parents’ knees from now on.
It doesn't hurt to take these sisters with me.
Everyone heard the words and had no objections, and praised him one after another.
Tanchun saw that everyone was in good spirits and immediately suggested:
"Sister Bao and brother-in-law are the hosts today, and we have enough to eat and drink. Why don't we open a club first?"
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to respond, she looked at Li Wan and said with a smile:
"I also ask the old farmer Daoxiang to come up with the topic quickly. Lingzhou and Ouxie are limited to rhyme, and Ehuang and Nuying are in charge."
Yingchun has a weak temperament, so she drank a few glasses of wine today, but she also became cheerful.
He then suggested: "If you go by what I say, there is no need to limit the rhyme to one person's title. It is fair to cast lots."
When Li Wan heard this, he shook his head and rejected Yingchun's idea.
She directly followed what she said before and came up with the questions herself, saying:
"We were walking in the garden just now, and the plum blossoms were in full bloom. Why don't you sing to them?"
When Yingchun saw this, he obeyed and couldn't help but say:
"Then let's go back to the garden and continue admiring the plum blossoms and writing poems?"
The winter plum blossoms are in full bloom in the courtyard, so it’s okay to enjoy them with warm wine.
It's just that many people were tired from walking and seemed embarrassed when they heard this.
Baochai took over the conversation at this time and said with a smile:
"It's just plum blossoms, so why do you have to write them in front of you? The poems and poems of the ancients are just expressive of emotions and can only be done in person. There are no such poems nowadays."
Yingchun has a weak character and does not argue when he hears the words. He just says:
"In that case, let me limit the rhyme."
Baochai immediately ordered his servants in the Feng Mansion to prepare pens and paper.
When the pen and ink are all ready and placed on the stage, the seven-character rule for welcoming spring is also set.
After deciding on the rhyme, all the members of the "Dongzang Society" dispersed.
For a time, the whole house and courtyard were filled with their figures.
Some start drinking, hoping to find some inspiration through their drunkenness.
Some were pacing back and forth, circling back and forth in the courtyard.
Some people hold their heads and think hard, picking up the pen but unable to put it down.
Sisters Du Daiyu and Miaoyu are relaxed and at ease.
The two sisters took a stroll in the courtyard, pointing out buildings or teasing Jialan.
Or teasing Qingwen, Xueyan and other maids.
In the Spring Festival, the little maid from the Feng Mansion was asked to find "Meng Tianxiang".
This kind of incense is only three inches long and as thick as a lamp grass.
Since it is easy to exhaust, this is the limit.
If the incense is not finished, you will be punished.
After a while, Tanchun got inspiration and started writing it himself.
Then he wiped it again and handed it to Yingchun.
After finishing it, he asked Baochai with a relaxed look:
"Master of the Mountain, do you have one?"
Baochai smiled when he heard this and said modestly:
"It is there, but it is not good."
Baoyu was pacing back and forth in the corridor outside the door with his hands behind his back.
After hearing the conversation between the two, he said to Daiyu who was not far away:
"Listen, they all have it."
Daiyu was talking to Miaoyu when she heard the words and replied:
"Just do your thing."
Baoyu walked back to the house and saw that Baochai had already transcribed it.
He looked up at the incense and suddenly panicked:
"Amazing! There is only one inch of incense left, and I only have four sentences!"
Thinking about it, I ran to the courtyard again.
Seeing Daiyu and Miaoyu not knowing what they were talking about, they were covering their mouths and laughing softly.
He stepped forward and said hurriedly: "The incense is almost gone, why are you still here laughing?"
This time Daiyu simply ignored him and talked to Miaoyu on her own.
When Baoyu saw this, he said bitterly:
"In this case, I can't care about you anymore. Whatever happens, I'll write it out first."
After saying that, I went back to the house and walked to the eucalyptus to write.
At this time, the two sisters Daiyu and Miaoyu also arrived leisurely, and they were completed with a few strokes.
Li Wan glanced at Xiang and declared loudly:
"We are going to read poetry! If you don't hand in the paper after reading it, you will be punished."
Baoyu has suffered continuously today, but at this time he still wants to please Li Wan.
He stepped forward with a flattering look on his face, squeezed out a smile and said:
"Although the old farmer Daoxiang is not good at work, he is good at seeing things and is the most fair. We all accept your review."
Everyone agreed with this, but Li Wan just ignored it.
She read it from beginning to end, then pointed to three poems by Daiyu, Miaoyu, and Baochai, and started to comment.
"If you talk about elegance and fragrance, it's the song 'The Man in the Threshold'; if you talk about the elegance and elegance, it's the song 'The Bamboo Shadow Woodman'."
At this point, she paused and then announced:
"But when it comes to subtlety and simplicity, the 'Master of the Mountain' will always be the best."
Tan Chunzai also looked at it for a long time, then nodded and said:
"This comment is reasonable. The 'Kill Insider' and the 'Bamboo Shadow Woodcutter' are equally superior, but they are both half as good as the 'Master in the Mountain'."
Everyone came over to look at it and nodded to comment.
At this time, Li Wan looked at Baoyu again and said without mercy:
"Young Master Yihong is the last person to win. Do you accept it?"
Baoyu was very impatient just now, so he didn't do it well.
So even though he was a little dissatisfied, he admitted it generously and said:
"My song was not good, but this is the most fair assessment."
However, after saying that, he looked at Daiyu again and said:
"It's just that I need to think more about the song about Bamboo Shadow Woodcutter."
He couldn't do it himself, but he wanted to help Daiyu fight against the injustice.
Daiyu turned her head when she heard this, slapped him on the back of her head, and ignored him.
When Li Wan heard this, he glanced sideways at Baoyu and said directly:
"It's my comment that has nothing to do with you. Anyone who talks more will be punished."
After hearing this, Baoyu could only remain silent.
Xiangyun looked at it for a long time, secretly admiring it in his heart, but he was dissatisfied and said:
"This time Sister Bao took advantage of the host. Next time we will discuss the difference at Daoxiang Farmer's place!"
At this point, she changed the topic again and said:
"It seems that the three wives of the Feng family are among the top three. If my brother-in-law also composes a song, will he be able to beat them all?"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused discussion.
Especially Daiyu, her face turned red immediately after hearing what she said.
"The three wives of the Feng family" obviously included her.
Tanchun looked at Baochai eagerly and advised:
"If my brother-in-law is here, we won't be able to do it anymore. But now that we have finished the composition, how about asking my brother-in-law to compose a song to wrap up the day?"
Baochai smiled and said nothing. He was hesitating whether to look for it or not, but Li Wan said:
"That's not bad. Now we are not afraid of whether he does good or bad. It's just for you to appreciate Tanhua's poetic talent!"
Li Wan was in high spirits at this time and called his son Jia Lan directly and said:
"Lan'er, go find your uncle and see if he can compose a poem praising plum blossoms."
She is now busy with mundane affairs every day, and it is difficult to relax today.
I drank a lot of wine again and became more or less dissolute.
First, she acted like a eldest sister-in-law and asked a group of sisters-in-law to listen to her.
Now I'm bringing out my senior sister's example, and I'm going to let Feng Yibo sing a song too.
It seems that the usual elegant image has been left behind.
"good!"
Jia Lan accepted the order and ran towards the front hall.
He was familiar with the roads in Feng Mansion and soon arrived at the place where three gentlemen were drinking.
At this time, Feng Yibo, Xue Pan and Jia Lian were intoxicated with wine.
The three of them were already tipsy before they knew it.
"Uncle, they have finished. My mother asked me to ask you to also write a poem about plum blossoms."
After hearing what Jia Lanchuan said, Feng Yibo said while half drunk and half awake:
"Bring me a pen!"
Immediately, a servant prepared pen and ink, and Feng Yibo finished it in two or three strokes.
He handed it to Jia Lan and said, "Take it!"
Jia Lan held the calligraphy treasure in his hand and returned to the crowd with a puff of smoke.
"So fast?"
Those with sharp eyes were surprised when they saw Jialan coming back.
It’s just a matter of time before and after a cup of tea. I’m afraid you’ll be back just before you reach the front, right?
"My uncle listened and made it casually."
Jia Lan was slightly proud when he heard this, but seemed to be afraid that Feng Yibo would not do well, and added:
"But my uncle was a little drunk, so I don't know how he did."
Daiyu couldn't bear her curiosity and had already come over to welcome him.
But when she took it and took a look, she only said:
""Bu Shuanzi·Yong Mei"... Huh?"
As soon as he said a topic, he looked at Xiang Yingchun in surprise.
"What's the word? Let me see!"
Tanchun has sharp ears, and when he hears the words "Bu Suanzi", he knows it.
She thought Daiyu was surprised by this.
But when she stepped forward to take a look, she was a little surprised.
"Huh?"
She also said softly "Hey", and then Tanchun did the same as Daiyu.
He looked at Yingchun with a slightly strange look.
When Yingchun caught the two people's gaze, she suddenly felt inexplicable.
But just as she was about to step forward, Shi Xiangyun approached first.
No matter what, just chant directly:
"Wind and rain bring spring back, and flying snow welcomes spring."
After reading this sentence, Xiangyun also reacted.
It turns out that the first sentence of this word contains the name of welcoming the spring.
Xiangyun looked at Yingchun with the same surprise, and said with some uncertainty:
"Is this written to Lingzhou? Hahaha!"
Even so, we still don’t forget to call it Yingchun by another name.
However, even those who didn’t think much about it at first, they all reacted.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other in shock.
Xiangyun laughed a few times, and seeing that except for Yingchun, who was blushing, no one else had much reaction, he continued reading:
"There are already hundreds of feet of ice on the cliff, but there are still beautiful flowers and branches."
Li Wan himself also heard the ambiguity.
At this time, she said half-heartedly and half sincerely:
"This palace must be wonderful!"
Li Wan only listened to the first two sentences and knew they were good words.
Shi Xiangyun also nodded and agreed:
"It's really wonderful, so unique!"
There was something in her words, and she stared at the blushing Yingchun with a malicious smile.
At this time, Tanchun saw that she was only looking at the joke, so he stepped forward, picked up Feng Yuan's lyrics, and continued to recite:
"Qiao doesn't fight for spring, she only repays spring when it comes."
Shi Xiangyun laughed even harder now, even letting go of the hand holding the scroll.
He laughed so hard that he held his stomach and said:
"Who are you trying to hug? Who is hugging you?"
"Bah! You deer can't spit out good flowers from your mouth!"
Daiyu was no longer angry, she spat lightly and said again:
"Lan'er said that Feng's brother was drunk, so he definitely didn't think of his second sister when he wrote it."
Xiangyun heard this and counterattacked with a smile:
"You called me wrong, you should be punished!"
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Baochai would try to persuade them.
But before she spoke, she heard:
"Don't make any noise!"
It turned out that Li Wan was impatient.
She glared, and both of them chatted silently.
Daiyu still looked at Xiangyun angrily,
Xiangyun avoided her eyes and curled his lips slightly.
At this time, Tanchun saw that there was no more noise, so he continued to recite:
"When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, she smiles among the bushes."
Everyone praised her, but only Yingchun's face turned redder.
Even though she knew that these words were not meant for her, she still kept them in her heart.
Savor back and forth.
I don’t know what to think of.
For a moment, Yingchun was a little crazy.
At this moment, Baoyu suddenly shouted:
"wrong!"
