Chapter 35 (2) Shocking Jin Lin

Feng Ziying and Baoyu returned to their mansion, but Shan had already packed up a study room and lived with Baoyu.Serving people with food and clothing every day is extremely thoughtful.When I was free, I also came to chat with him to relieve boredom, but I didn't tell him about the Rongfu, and pretended that I didn't know.Although Baoyu is concerned, there is nothing he can do. Baoyu reads books and practices calligraphy in his study every day.Unexpectedly, although the Feng family came from a family of military generals, they also had a good collection of books and history, many of which Baoyu had never read.When he was in disaster at home, he took shelter here, and seeing these books, he was also relieved from hunger and thirst.Feng Ziying's favorite novels, Unofficial History, are not shy, and they are all listed on the shelf, within easy reach.So Baoyu focused on reading.

One day, he took out a book from the upper shelf of the bookshelf, but when he read it, it was inscribed with "Yi'an Layman Collection" in regular characters.This is a collection of poems and essays written by Li Qingzhao, a female historian of the Song Dynasty, and I am overjoyed.After a closer look, I was amazed that it was a fine publication of Lin'an City in the Southern Song Dynasty. He suddenly remembered that Shi's younger sister Xiangyun often told him that Xue Tao from the Tang Dynasty was the only female poet, and Li Yi'an from the Song Dynasty was the only female poet.He hurriedly opened the book and turned to the collection of words, only to see that there was a poem at the beginning of the book, which read——

It was rainy and windy last night.I can't wake up from a deep sleep.Asked Lianren a question, but said "Begonia is still the same".Do you know?Do you know? ——It should be green, fat, red and thin!He couldn't help slapping his knees and exclaiming: "This is really Sister Yun's voice!" No wonder she praised Yi An's good words.And suddenly realized: that year she took the lead in composing Liu Xuci, the tune was exactly this, and she intended to learn from Li Yi'an! He checked the books to relieve boredom and worry, but he didn't want this collection of words to provoke him again. Starting from Xiangyun, he missed all the sisters in the garden one by one.For a while, he secretly remembered those words and sentences, and suddenly, like a flash of inspiration, he had a new understanding of those words and sentences——

The third sister said: "It is also difficult to tie together, and it is also difficult to restrain. One term separates the east, west, north, and south." Sister Lin said: "Wandering is also like life, empty and lingering, talk about romance." Miss Qin said: "Three springs pay for the wind, and the moon and pear blossoms are a dream." Isn't this all about today's scene?It seems that there must be a test. Then I thought: The only thing left is Sister Bao's "thousands of strands will never change, let him gather and divide as he pleases";Suddenly, I thought that after the third sister's half poem that day, the continuation was "I will not hate you when you fall away, but I will know when I fly. When Yingshou is tired and the butterfly is tired. Even if we meet in the next spring - every other year." What is the meaning of this?I seem to understand but don't understand, but I don't know how those words came out.

Just when he was helpless, Feng Ziying suddenly came and said: "Second Master Bao, you are very bored in the house by yourself. We have known each other for the past few days, and we agreed to practice archery together. You also come to take a break. Isn't it lively?" What? How can I just stare at the book every day?" When Baoyu heard about it, he put down the book with a smile, followed him out of the room, and ran out of the second door. Entering a west-facing corner gate, it is a cross-courtyard, and there is a small moon cave gate with the word "Shepu" inscribed on the gate.When I went in to see it, the place was very open. There was an archery target standing against the south wall, a long and straight arrow path was laid on the ground, and a bow and arrow stand stood at the north end.

Ziying led Baoyu to the small main room, but did not go in. She just said to the room, "You are not coming out yet, who is it?" He has a beautiful appearance, handsome and refined. Baoyu had already rejoiced in his heart.After hearing Ziying's introduction, I knew that one was Chen Yejun and the other was Wei Ruolan.They are also high-ranking figures that Suo Ri is famous for and admires. They meet here today, and they are very affectionate.Both of them said to Baoyu what Jiumu wanted, and they were very humble to each other. Several people went back to the main room for tea.In the middle of talking and laughing, some of them have not seen the psychic jade worn by Baoyu, so they inevitably want to invite the jade down for a reward.When Baoyu heard about it, she didn't feel ashamed, so she had no choice but to explain that when she moved out of the garden and went back to live in the mansion, there were many people in a hurry, and she didn't know what to do with some of her accessories and favorite playthings. It is lost, but the psychic jade is still there, and the original has been replaced by someone, it is a piece of unappreciable stone; who knows that even this piece of fake jade, the former was picked as a treasure in prison gone…….

After hearing this, everyone sighed together, and even said what a pity, what a pity! Feng Ziying pondered for a while and said: "This jade is inseparable. I have a deep bond with the family, so there is no reason why I don't know it; it's not a problem if you don't take it with you, - I'm afraid it will cause trouble."Tomorrow, I will find a good job for you to make one, imitating the real shape of the jade, and it will be useful in the future.You draw its size, shape, texture, and handwriting yourself. Baoyu agreed.Everyone got up and went to the nursery to practice archery and martial arts.

When they came to the courtyard, they all put their overcoats on the hangers and only wore short clothes. They stretched their fists and legs a little to move their muscles and bones.At this time, Baoyu suddenly looked at something tied around Wei Ruolan's waist, which was illuminated by the sun and looked golden.Unconsciously, I was shocked, as if it looked very familiar.When she was resting while practicing arrows, Baoyu moved forward and bowed to Wei Ruolan. Wei Ruolan quickly took it off from her waist, and handed it to Baoyu with both hands. Baoyu didn't look at it, but when he saw it, he was shocked!

It turned out that it was a golden unicorn, the size, shape, pattern, and luster were all right. It was the one I singled out from the congratulatory gifts of all the fellow Taoists in the Qingxu Temple and left it to Sister Shi. The colorful silk tassels specially made for it are still intact! Wei Ruolan was surprised when she saw Baoyu's appearance, and knowing why, she said, "If the second master likes it, how about giving it as a gift?" Baoyu didn't answer, tears fell in his eyes.After a long while, Fang said: "I will choose a day to explain the whole story in detail. It is inconvenient to miss everyone's Qingxing today. Please wear it well first, and let the day talk about it. If you don't give up, you will pay homage to it."
