It is said that Baochai and Xiangyun have made a plan, and they have nothing to say all night.The next day, Xiangyun invited Jia Mu and others to enjoy the sweet-scented osmanthus.Jia Mu and others all said, "It's because he is interested, and I need to disturb his elegant interest."At noon, as expected, Mother Jia brought Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, and Aunt Xue to the garden.Jia Muyin asked which place is good?Mrs. Wang said: "If the old lady loves that place, it will be there."Sister Feng said: "The lotus root and champagne have been placed. The two sweet-scented osmanthus flowers on the hillside are blooming well, and the water in the river is clear. Wouldn't it be bright to sit on the pavilion in the middle of the river, and look at the water with clear eyes."After hearing this, Jia Mu said, "This is very true."As he said that, he led the crowd to the Ouxiangxie.It turns out that the lotus root champagne is built in the pool, with windows on all sides, winding corridors on the left and right, and it also crosses the water to meet the shore, and there is a winding bamboo bridge behind it.When all the people got on the bamboo bridge, Sister Feng hurried up to help Jia Mu, saying: "The old ancestor just walks with big strides, it's irrelevant. The rules of this bamboo bridge are creaking and creaking."

When I entered the pavilion for a while, I saw two bamboo tables outside the railing, one with cups and chopsticks and wine utensils, and the other with tea whisks and teapots with various tea utensils.There are two or three maids over there fanning the stove to make tea, and a few other girls on this side are also fanning the stove to heat wine.Jia Mu hurriedly asked: "This tea is as expected, and it is a place, and everything is clean."Xiangyun smiled and said: "Sister Bao helped me prepare this."Jia Mu said: "I said that this child is meticulous and thinks about everything properly."On the one hand, he saw the pair of black lacquer embedded clams hanging on the pillar, and ordered people to recite.Xiangyun read: "The shadow of hibiscus breaks through and returns to the orchid oar, and the fragrance of water chestnut lotus deeply writes on the bamboo bridge."After hearing this, Jia's mother looked up at the plaque again, because she turned her head to Aunt Xue and said, "When I was young, there was also such a pavilion at home, called Zhenxia Pavilion."At that time, I was only as old as they were, and I fought with my sisters every day.Unexpectedly, I lost my foot and fell that day. I almost didn't drown, but I was rescued with great difficulty, but my head was smashed by the wooden nail.Now the big dimple on the top of the finger on the sideburn is the broken one.Everyone was afraid of going through the water and the wind, and they all said they couldn't survive, but who knew they were better.

Sister Feng didn't wait for anyone to say, she laughed first and said: "At that time, I would not be able to live. Who will enjoy this great blessing now!"It can be seen that the ancestors had a long life since they were young, and gods and ghosts bumped into that nest, so that it would be a blessing.There used to be a nest on the old man's head, but because Wanfu Wanshou is full, the underside is higher.Before finishing speaking, Mother Jia and everyone laughed softly.Jia Mu laughed and said, "This monkey is very used to it. Just make fun of me, and I will tear your glib mouth out of hatred."Sister Feng said with a smile: "When I come back to eat crabs, I'm afraid I'll be cold in my heart. I want my ancestors to laugh and have fun. It's okay to eat two more when you're happy."Jia Mu said with a smile, "I'll tell you to follow me day and night tomorrow. I'm always smiling and happy. I'm not allowed to go home."Mrs. Wang laughed and said: "The old lady is used to him because she likes him. If she still talks like this, he will be even more rude tomorrow."Jia Mu laughed and said, "I like him like this, besides, he's not that kid who doesn't know his height."There is no one at home, as girls should be.Anyway, it's fine if the etiquette is good, if nothing else, let him do something like a god.

Saying that, they entered the pavilion together and offered tea. Sister Feng was busy setting up a table and asking for cups and chopsticks.On the top table, Jiamu, Aunt Xue, Baochai, Daiyu, and Baoyu; on the east side, Shi Xiangyun, Mrs. Wang, Ying, Tan, and Xi; None of them dared to sit, but only served at the two tables of Mrs. Jia Muwang.Sister Feng ordered: "Don't bring more crabs, still put them in the steamer, bring ten of them, and take them after eating."While asking for water to wash his hands again, he stood in front of Jia's mother to peel the crab meat, and asked Aunt Xue for the first time.Aunt Xue said: I eat the sweets by myself, and I don't need anyone to let me.Sister Feng then offered it to Jia Mu.The second time, he talked to Baoyu and said, "Bring the wine hot."He also ordered the little girls to fetch mung bean noodles from chrysanthemum leaves, osmanthus stamens, and prepare to wash their hands.Shi Xiangyun ate one with him, then he got down and asked someone, and then went outside, and asked someone to fill two plates and send them to Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou.Seeing Sister Feng coming again, she said, "You are not used to Zhang Luo, so you can eat what you have."I'll take care of it for you first, and I'll eat it when it's over.Xiangyun refused, and asked people to set up two tables on the corridor over there, and let Yuanyang, Huber, Caixia, Caiyun and Ping'er sit there.Yuanyangyin said to Sister Feng with a smile: "The second grandma is here to serve, we can eat."Sister Feng said: "You just go and leave it to me."With that said, Shi Xiangyun still entered the table.Sister Feng and Li Wan also randomly responded to the scene.Sister Feng still came down to make a fuss, and went out to the porch for a while. Yuanyang and others were eating happily. Seeing him coming, Yuanyang and others stood up and said, "what is grandma doing out again?"Let us also enjoy it for a while.Sister Feng said with a smile: "The little hooves of the mandarin ducks are getting worse and worse. I will work for you. I don't appreciate it and complain about me."Hurry up and pour a bell of wine for me to drink.Yuanyang smiled and hurriedly poured a glass of wine, brought it to Sister Feng's lips, and Sister Feng ate it with a lift of her neck.

Hu Po and Caixia also poured a cup and brought it to Sister Feng's lips, and Sister Feng ate it too.Ping'er had already picked a shell of yellow seeds and sent them. Sister Feng said, "Pour more ginger vinegar."He also ate at the same time, and said with a smile: "You guys sit and eat, I can go."Yuanyang smiled and said: "It's shameless to eat our food."Sister Feng laughed and said, "You and I don't make troubles."You know that your second master Lian has fallen in love with you, and wants to ask the old lady to be your concubine.Yuanyang said: "Hey, that's what grandma said too!"It's nothing if I don't wipe your face with a fishy hand.Speaking of coming, I will wipe it off.Sister Feng said, "good sister, please forgive me for this."Hu Po smiled and said: Yuan girl is going, and Ping girl will spare him?Look at him, if he didn't eat two crabs and drink a plate of vinegar, he wouldn't be sour.Ping'er was breaking off a yellow crab in his hand. Hearing that he was being taunted like this, he took the crab and wiped it on Hu Po's face.Hu Po also smiled and hid to the side, Ping'er made an empty move, and bumped forward, just wiped Sister Feng's cheek.Sister Feng was laughing with Yuanyang, so she jumped and groaned.Everyone couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.Sister Feng couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Damn whore!"Eat away from the eyes, and confuse your mother.Ping'er hurried over to wipe it for him, and went to serve the water himself.The mandarin duck said: Amitabha!This is retribution.When Jia Mu heard it, she asked in a voice, "what is so happy to see, and tell us to smile."Yuanyang waited and replied with a loud laugh: The second grandma came to grab crabs to eat, Ping'er was annoyed, and wiped the crab yellow on his master's face.Master and slave are fighting.Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang also laughed when they heard this.Jia Mu laughed and said, "You see him pitifully. Just give him some ideas about the navel of the calf and it's over."Yuanyang waited for a smile and agreed, and then said loudly: "The table is full of legs, the second grandma can just eat it."Sister Feng came back after washing her face, and waited for Jiamu to eat again.Daiyu didn't dare to eat too much, she only ate a little bit of meat and then came down.

Jia Mu stopped eating for a while, and everyone left and washed their hands. Some looked at the flowers, and some splashed the water to watch the fish. They had a play time.Mrs. Wang went back to Jiamu and said: "It's windy here, so I ate crabs again. The old lady just went back to her room to have a rest."If you are happy, come back tomorrow.After hearing this, Jia Mu laughed and said, "Exactly."I am afraid that you will be happy, and I am afraid that I will spoil your happiness when I leave.That being said, let's all go.Turning around, I told Xiangyun again: Don't let your elder brother Bao and sister Lin eat too much.Xiangyun agreed.He also asked Baochai and Xiangyun to say, "Don't eat too much, both of you."Although the food is delicious, it is not very good. If you eat too much, your stomach will hurt.The two hurriedly sent them out of the garden, but they still came back, ordering to clean up the remaining seats and set them up again.Baoyu said, "There's no need to put it on. Let's write poetry."Put the big reunion table in the middle, and put all the food and wine.There is no need to set a fixed seat. If there are people who like to eat, everyone will eat. Wouldn't it be cheaper to sit loose?Baochai said: "This is very true."Xiangyun said: "That said, there are others."Because he ordered another table to be set up, he picked hot crabs and invited Xiren, Zicuckoo, Chess, Daishu, Ruhua, Yinger, Cuimo, etc. to sit together.Two tapestry carpets were spread under the osmanthus trees on the hillside, and the mother-in-law and the little girl who had promised to sit there, just eat and drink as they please, and come back when they are ordered.

Xiangyun took the title of the poem and tied it on the wall with a needle.When everyone saw it, they all said: "It's so novel, I'm afraid I can't make it."Xiangyun explained the reason for unlimited rhymes.Baoyu said: "This is the truth, and I don't like restricted rhymes the most."Because Lin Daiyu doesn't drink a lot of wine and doesn't eat crabs, she asks people to sit on an embroidered pier leaning against the railing, fishing with a fishing rod.Baochai played with an osmanthus fragrans in her hand for a while, bent over the window sill, pinched the osmanthus pistil and threw it into the water, attracting fish to come up and chatter.Xiangyun regained his senses for a while, asked Xiren to wait for a while, and told everyone down the hillside to eat as much as possible.Tanchun and Li Wanxichun stand in the shade of weeping willows watching gulls and herons.Yingchun was alone in the shade of the flowers and pierced the jasmine with a flower needle.Baoyu watched Daiyu go fishing again, once leaned over Baochai's side to chat and laugh, once again watched Xiren waiting to eat crabs, and drank a few sips of wine with him.Xiren peeled another shell of meat for him to eat.Daiyu put down her fishing rod, walked to the seat, picked up the black silver plum blossom self-pourer pot, and picked up a small crabapple, frozen stone and banana leaf cup.The servant girl saw that he wanted to drink, so she hurried up to pour it.Daiyu said: "You just eat it and let me pour it myself. That's interesting."As he spoke, he poured out half a cup, but when he saw it was rice wine, he said, "I ate a little crab, and I felt a slight pain in my heart, so I had to drink hot wine."Baoyu hurriedly said, "There is shochu."So he ordered to boil a pot of wine soaked in Albizia julibrissin.Daiyu also only took a mouthful and put it down.

Baochai also came over, took another cup, took a sip as well, then dipped the pen to the wall and ticked off the first "Recalling Chrysanthemum", and added a word "Heng" at the bottom.Baoyu hurriedly said, "My dear sister, I already have four sentences for the second one. You let me give up."Baochai said with a smile, "It's so easy for me to have a song, and you're just so busy."Daiyu didn't speak, took the pen and ticked off the eighth "Ask the Chrysanthemum", and then ticked off the eleventh "Dream of Chrysanthemums", adding the word Xiao.Baoyu also picked up the pen, ticked off the second "Visiting Chrysanthemum", and added a word "Crimson".Tanchun came to have a look and said: "No one has made "Zanju", let me do this "Zanju".Pointing to Baoyu again, he smiled and said, "It's just announced that you are not allowed to bring out the words boudoir. You should be careful."As he said that, Shi Xiangyun came and ticked off the fourth and fifth "Daiju" and "Gongju", and added the word "Xiang".Tanchun said, "You should also have a number."Xiangyun laughed and said: "Although we have several pavilions in our family, I don't live here, so it's no fun to borrow them."Baochai laughed and said, "The old lady said just now that your family also has this water pavilion called Zhenxia Pavilion. Isn't it yours?"Although gone now, you are the old master after all.Everyone was right. Baoyu didn't wait for Xiangyun to do it, so he erased the character Xiang and changed it to Xia.There was another meal time, and the twelve questions were all completed. They were copied out and handed over to Yingchun. They took another Xuelang note and copied them together.Li Wan and others looked at it from the beginning:

Recalling Ju Heng Wu Jun Looking at the west wind and thinking about it, when the red reed is heartbroken. There is no trace of autumn in the old garden with empty fences, and the thin moon is clear and the frost is dreaming. Nian Nian's heart follows the wild goose far away, and a few sit and listen to the evening anvil, Who is pity for my yellow flower disease, comforting Chongyang will have a period. Visiting Young Master Ju Yihong Take advantage of the frost and sunshine to try it out, don't drown the wine cup and medicine cup. Who will plant it under the moon before the frost, and where will it be autumn by the fence outside the threshold.

The wax clogs come from afar, and I can't enjoy myself while singing coldly. If the yellow flower relieves the pity of the poet, don't bear the burden of hanging the stick head now. Young Master Yihong Planting Chrysanthemums Bringing a hoe to the autumn garden, I moved it here, and planted it in front of the court by the fence. It rained unexpectedly last night, but today I still like to bloom with frost. Recite thousands of autumn poems coldly, drink a cup of cold fragrant wine when drunk. Irrigate the spring with mud and protect it diligently, knowing that the diameter of the well is free from dust.

To Ju Zhenxia's old friend Biepu moved more expensive than gold, one clump is light and the other clump is deep. Xiao Shuli sat with his head on the bank, hugged his knees and chanted in the cool fragrance. There is no king who is proud of the world, it seems that only my bosom friend. Don't let the autumn light go by, it's better to cherish every inch of shade. For chrysanthemum pillow Xia old friend Playing the piano and drinking wine is a happy couple, and a few cases of Tingting are embellished. Every seat is divided into three branches of incense, and the person who throws the book is facing a branch of autumn. Frost and clear paper tents come to new dreams, and the garden is cold and the setting sun recalls old travels. Aoshi is also because of the same smell, the spring breeze, peaches and plums are not drowned. Chanting Chrysanthemum Xiaoxiang Concubine The rogue poetry demon faints at dawn, and surrounds the fence and stone from the sinking sound. The fine end is beautiful and written by Linshuang, and the mouth is full of fragrance and sings to the moon. The paper is full of self-pity and plain grievances, who can explain Qiu Xin in a few words. After Tao Ling Pingzhang, Qiangu Gaofeng talked about it to this day. Painting Chrysanthemum Hengwu Jun I don't know how to write poems and dramas, so it's a contest of Danqing fees. The gathered leaves are splashed with thousands of spots of ink, and the gathered flowers are stained with a few traces of frost. The light and strong spirit knows the shadow before the wind, and the fragrance that escapes Qiu Sheng's wrist. Don't admit that Dongli is idle, sticking to the screen and chatting to comfort Chongyang. Ask Concubine Ju Xiaoxiang Desiring to hear about the love of autumn, many people don't know, murmured and knocked on the east fence with his hands behind his back. Who will hide alone if you are proud of the world? Is it too late for the same flower to bloom? How lonely is the garden, dew, and frost? Can Honggui be sick? Don't say that there is no talker in the world, so why not explain the words in a few words. Hairpin, Chrysanthemum and Banana The vase planting is busy every day, and I don’t recognize the makeup in the mirror when I fold it. Mr. Chang'an is addicted to flowers, and Mr. Peng Ze is a drunkard. The short temples are cold with dew on three paths, and the fragrance of Gejin is dyed with frost in nine autumns. Gao Qing doesn't catch the eyes of modern people, just clap his hands and laugh at the roadside. Chrysanthemum shadow pillow Xia old friend The autumn light is layered on top of each other, stealthily moving in the three paths. The windows are separated by sparse lamps to describe the distance, and the fences are broken by the moon and the locks are exquisite. The cold fragrance stays in the photo, and the soul should stay there, and the frost seal conveys the dream and the dream is empty. Cherish the dark fragrance and don't step on it, who can recognize the hazy with drunk eyes. Ju Meng Xiaoxiang concubine The autumn by the fence is clear, and the cloud and the moon are not clear. Ascending immortals is not a butterfly born in Muzhuang, and Tao Lingmeng is still looking for Tao Lingmeng when recalling the old days. Go to sleep and follow the geese to break, startled back, so annoyed by the crocodile. When you wake up, you complain about who you complain about, and the cold smoke of decaying grass is infinitely affectionate. Residual chrysanthemum and banana drop off Lu Ningshuang's weight gradually tilted, and the feast was only after the light snow. The stalks have lingering fragrance and gold are indifferent, and the branches are not full of green leaves. Half the bed, the moon falls and the sound of grasshoppers is sick, and thousands of miles of cold clouds and geese are late. Next year, Qiufeng will see you again, and we will temporarily break up and miss each other. Everyone read one song, praised one song, and praised each other endlessly.Li Wan laughed and said, "Wait for me to come from the public review."Throughout the article, each has its own aphorisms.Today's public commentary: "Ode to Chrysanthemum" comes first, "Questioning Chrysanthemum" comes second, and "Chrysanthemum Dream" comes third. The title is new, the poem is new, and the idea is updated. I am so annoyed that I want to push Xiaoxiang's concubine as the first; then "Zanju" "Pairing Chrysanthemums", "Giving Chrysanthemums", "Painting Chrysanthemums" and "Recalling Chrysanthemums" followed.Baoyu heard that it was very fair to clap her hands with joy.Daiyu said: "My song is not good either. After all, it hurts more delicate."Li Wan said: "It's a coincidence, but it's good. It doesn't show that the pile is blunt."Daiyu said: According to my opinion, the first sentence is good to remember the past in the cold setting sun, and the back of this sentence is Fu Fan.The person who threw the book had already finished the offering of chrysanthemums, and there was no place to talk about it, so when I turned it back, I thought about it before it was folded and offered, and the meaning was profound.Li Wan laughed and said, "It's true, your eloquent sentences are no match for you."Tanchun said again: After all, Mr. Hengwu is calm, there is no trace of autumn, and there is knowledge in dreams, which has dyed the word memory.Baochai laughed and said, "Your short temples are cold, and your Gejin is fragrant, and you have lost a single gap in the description of the hairpin and chrysanthemum."Xiangyun said: "Who hides together? It's too late. It's really speechless to ask a chrysanthemum."Li Wan said with a smile: "Your Ke sat with his head on his knees and chanted, but he couldn't stop blooming for a while. If you know chrysanthemums, you will be bored."Everyone who said it laughed.Baoyu laughed and said, "I'm out again."Could it be that who planted it, where is the autumn, the wax clogs are far away, and the cold chanting is endless, it is not a visit, the rain last night, and the frost today, it is not impossible to plant it?But I can't hate the words that sing to the moon with the fragrance in my mouth, chanting with my knees hugged in the cool fragrance, short temples, Ge scarves, gold indifferent, emerald leaves, autumn without traces, and dreams with knowledge.He said again, "I'm free tomorrow. I'll make twelve poems by myself."Li Wan said: "It's also good for you, but it's not as good as these few new tricks." Everyone commented again, and asked for hot crab again, and ate it on the big round table.Baoyu laughed and said, "Today you can appreciate osmanthus with your pincers, and you can't do without poetry."I have chanted it, who dares to do it?As he spoke, he hurriedly washed his pen and wrote.Everyone watched: Holding the claws is more like the shade of osmanthus, and the ginger is ecstatic when splashed with vinegar. The gluttonous king and grandson should have wine, but the rampant son has no guts. The navel is cold and greedy and forgetful, and the fishy smell on the fingers is still fragrant. Originally, Poxian used to laugh and be busy all his life for the sake of the world's delicious food. Daiyu laughed and said, "There are a hundred poems like this."Baoyu laughed and said, "You have exhausted your talents at this moment. If you don't say you can't do it, you will demote others."After hearing this, Daiyu didn't answer or think about it. She picked up the pen and waved, and there was a song.Everyone watched: Iron Armored Changge never forgets his death, and he piled up the dishes with joyful looks first to taste. Both pairs of chelated tender jade are full, and the shell is convex with red fat and fragrant. Succulent is more pitiful, whoever advises me to drink a thousand cups. For Si Jiapin to pay for the festival, the osmanthus blows the breeze and the chrysanthemum brings frost. Baoyu looked at it and was applauding, so Daiyu tore it up and made people burn it, because she laughed and said, "My one is not as good as yours, so I burned him."Yours is very good, even better than the chrysanthemum poem just now, you keep it for others to read.Baochai continued to laugh and said, "I also forced a song. It may not be good. Just write it to make fun of it."He also wrote it out.When everyone reads it, it reads: Gui Ai sits in the shade of Tongyin and raises his glass, Chang'an salivates in hope of the Double Ninth Festival.The road in front of me has no latitude and longitude, and the spring and autumn sky in Pili is black and yellow.Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.Baoyu said, "Writing happily!"My poems should be burned too.Look at the bottom and say: Chrysanthemum is used when the wine is not smelly, and ginger is used to prevent cold accumulation.What is the benefit of falling off the cauldron now, and the fragrance of millet and millet in Yuepu. After everyone watched it, they all said that it was a swan song that eats crabs. These small topics, if they have a general meaning, they are considered great talents, but they are just too poisonous to satirize the world.Then, I saw Ping'er come back into the garden.I don't know what to do, let's listen to the next chapter.
