Pan Jianhua
This year, Jia Zheng ordered another school errand (appointed Xuezheng. Point: Designate, assign. Xuecha: that is, the officials sent by the imperial court to the provinces to take charge of the imperial examination schools and other affairs), choose to get up on August 20 (departure, departure). On this day (this day), after worshipping the ancestral hall (i.e., the family temple, the ancestral hall where the ancestral tablets are enshrined and the ancestors are worshipped) and Jia's mother got up, the children of Baoyu were sent to the Tear Pavilion (i.e., the Long Pavilion). In ancient times, pavilions were set up every ten miles on the side of the road outside the city for pedestrians to rest or say goodbye to relatives and friends).
said that after Jia Zheng went out, he couldn't remember much about everything outside. Single table (just say) Baoyu wanders (idling, wandering) in the garden arbitrarily (casually, without constraints) vertically (by nature) every day, and really wastes time (spent in vain) and years are empty (vainly added). On this day, when he was bored (his spirit was empty and he had nothing to hope for), he saw Cui Mo come in and give it to him with a pair of flower notes (letterheads printed or painted with flowers as decorations). Baoyu said: "But I forgot, I said that I wanted to see the third sister go, but it's better, you came (coincidentally)." Cui Mo said: "The girl is fine, I won't take medicine today, but it's a little cold." When Baoyu heard this, she unfolded the flower paper and looked at it, and it read:
Di (female brother, the same as "sister") Tan Jinfeng (solemnly invited. Bong: invited, invited)
The second brother Wen Ji (a few cases for reading and writing. It is also a calligraphy among the literati, still under the foot): Eve Xinji (the first sunny day after the rain. 霁: jì), the moonlight is like washing (describing the appearance of the moonlight is bright and bright), because it is a pity that the clear scenery (quiet scenery) is rare, and the song (jù, how, how) endure to lie down (go to bed, go to sleep), and the time leak has been turned three times (meaning that the night has been three watches. Time: At that time. Leak: Leaky pot, ancient timer), still wandering (walking back and forth) on the sills of tung trees (railings under the plane trees. threshold: jiàn, railing), not being bullied (invaded) by wind and dew (night wind and dew), resulting in the trouble of collecting wages (i.e., "the worry of collecting wages", in the words "Mencius, Gongsun Chouxia", referring to the inability to collect firewood due to illness, and later used as a euphemism for illness. salary: firewood and grass). Yesterday, I was asked to care for my relatives (condolences and advice), and I sent a few servants (maids) to ask for cut (greetings and care), and fresh lily (fresh lychees) and Zhenqing ink (Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy. Zhenqing: Yan Zhenqing, a calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty) (given to me. See: used in front of the verb, to represent oneself), 何痌瘝 (tōng guān, sickness) and the depth of love (benevolence)! Today, when the silence (solitude) of the bed (sitting on the couch) is silent, because of the thought of (thinking) the field (place) of the ancients who have been fighting for fame and fortune (fighting for fame and fortune), they still set (arrange, arrange) some mountain dripping water (referring to the small bonsai landscape for enjoyment). Some: few, small) of the district (place), far and near (to friends near and far, warmly invited, polite to each other. 揖: yī, bow hands and salute), cast over Panyuan (to describe the hospitality of guests. Jurisdiction: Pawn out of the "Hanshu Chen Zun Biography": Chen Zun is fond of wine and hospitality, and often throws the guests' car jurisdictions into the well at banquets, so that the guests are not allowed to leave. Jurisdiction: The part that is worn on the axle head so that the wheel does not fall off. Panyuan: Hold the wheel and don't let it leave), and make two or three comrades (referring to people with the same interests. Panhuan (nostalgia, lingering. 桓: huán) in it, or erect the altar of words (建文報. Vertical: to create, to establish), or to open a Yin Society (to run a poetry society), although a moment of occasional interest (accidental interest), then into a thousand years of good talk (good story, beautiful talk). Although Di is not talented (humble words, indicating no talent), plagiarism (humble words, referring to oneself) and chatter (here is the meaning of luck. 叨: tāo, humble word, to bear) habitat (habitat, sojourn. Qi: qī) between the springs and stones (here refers to the Grand View Garden), and also Mu Xue and Lin Zhiji (referring to the poetry skills of Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu). Fengting Yuexie (describing the pavilions and pavilions built on a high place for people to enjoy the shade and enjoy the moon), the poet of the Banquet Collection (Drinking Banquet Collection), and the inverted saying of "Apricot Curtain Peach Creek". Apricot curtain: refers to Daoxiang Village in the Grand View Garden. Taoxi: refers to the area of Qinfang Bridge in the Grand View Garden), or you can get drunk and fly (drink and write poems. Flying: Flying, describing a toast. Yinzhan: The wine glass that helps the poetry, here it means to drink while chanting poetry). 孰 (who) is the name of the Lotus Society (the name of the literary society. Advocated by the famous monk Huiyuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, its place is in the Donglin Temple of Huxi in Lushan, because there is a white lotus in the temple, so it is named after the male talent (referring to the person with outstanding talent), the only Xu (praise) Xu Mei (referring to the man); Xie An is a good guest and friend, and often invites friends to travel in the mountains and rivers here, chanting poems and texts) of the elegant meeting (elegant gathering), so that Yu (we) fat powder (borrowed from women). If the snow comes, (that is, the snow comes. Dian out of "The World Speaks New Language: Ren Sheng": The Eastern Jin Dynasty Prince You Zeng Xue visited Dai Andao by boat at night, and returned without entering the door, and people asked him why, and replied: "I am going to take advantage of the prosperity and return, why should I see Dai." "棹: zhào, draw. This is interpreted as "stepping"), and Di is sweeping the flowers (i.e., eagerly anticipating. Here is the use of Du Fu's poem "The flower path has never been swept by guests, and the Pengmen is now open for you"). Sincerely. (Comment: This is a flower note given to Baoyu by Tanchun, one is to thank the greetings from illness and express the deep love of brothers and sisters; the other is to propose the establishment of a poetry club to open up the status of women.) ）
When Baoyu saw it, he clapped his hands and smiled with joy: "It's the elegance (noble and elegant) of the third sister, I'll discuss it now." As he spoke, he left, followed by Cuimo.
As soon as I arrived at Qinfang Pavilion, I saw the mother-in-law on duty at the back door of the garden (on duty during the day) walking with a notebook (a note with simple words) in her hand, and when she saw Baoyu, she greeted her and said: "Brother Yun, please be safe, just wait at the back door, and ask me to send it." When Baoyu opened it, he wrote:
Unscrupulous (unsuccessful, unproductive) male (here is the meaning of the son) Yun respectfully invited
Father's Father (an honorific title for the elders, as it is now called "the old man") Wan Fu Jin'an (blessing language. It is mostly used for elders and respected people). Men think of being blessed by heaven (here refers to the great kindness of heaven), recognized under their knees (referring to their parents), and think about filial piety day and night, but there is nothing to be filial to. Because of the comprador (buying, purchasing) flowers and plants, and relying on the adult Jinfu (honorifics, blessings), he actually recognized many flower craftsmen (people engaged in planting and selling flowers), and recognized many famous gardens (famous gardens). Because I suddenly saw a kind of white begonia, it is rare (the description is very rare and difficult to get). So I tried my best to get two pots. If the adult sees the man as a pro-man (biological son), he will stay and enjoy it. Due to the hot weather, I was afraid that the girls in the garden would be inconvenient, so I didn't dare to meet them. Congratulations (Letter, please open.) In the old days, it was used as a polite phrase for the letters of juniors or subordinates), and knocked (knocked) Tai'an (Judah An. 台: An honorific title for a person).
Male Yun kneeling (a set of words that the younger generation writes to the elders when they write a letter to the elders).
(Comment: This is a note written by Jia Yun to Baoyu, showing his "clever and obedient" character of sending flowers to please Baoyu.) ）
Baoyu saw it and said with a smile: "He is the only one who comes, who else?" The mother-in-law said: "There are two pots of flowers." Baoyu said: "You go out and say, I know, embarrassed (polite words to express gratitude to others) he thought." Send the flowers to my house. While speaking, he came to Qiushuangzhai with Cuimo, only to see that Baochai, Daiyu, Yingchun, and Xichun were all there.
When they saw him come in, they laughed and said, "Here comes another." Tanchun smiled: "I'm not vulgar (shallow, not very interesting), I occasionally had an idea (idea), wrote a few posts (notice of inviting guests) to give it a try, who knew that a trick (a greeting) was all there." Baoyu smiled: "It's a pity that it's late, I should have started (initiated, established) a society a long time ago." Daiyu said: "You just have to start the club, don't count me, I don't dare." Yingchun smiled: "Who would dare if you don't dare." Baoyu said: "This is a serious (real) event, everyone is encouraged (excited), don't want you to humble me." Each has its own ideas (just care) to say it out of everyone's flat chapter (evaluation, discussion). Sister Bao also had an idea, and Sister Lin also had a word. Baochai said: "What are you busy with, people are not complete." ”
Before he could say a word, Li Kun also came, and said with a smile when he entered the door: "Yadean is tight (very elegant)! If you want to start a poetry club, I recommend myself (recommend myself) and I will be in charge of the altar (presiding over the poetry altar). Altar: This refers to the Poetry Society). I used to mean that in the spring. I thought about it, and I didn't know how to compose poetry, so I forgot about it, so I didn't say anything. Since the third sister is happy, I will help you to rejoice (initiate, promote). ”
Daiyu said: "Since we are going to start a poetry club, we are all poets (honorific titles for poets), so it is good to change the words of these sisters and sisters-in-law first." Li Kun said: "Extremely, why don't we give each other a nickname (a title in addition to the name and character), and call each other Ya." I was set as 'Daoxiang Old Farmer' (Li Kun's nickname in the Poetry Society. Because she lives in Daoxiang Village, hence the name), no one occupies it anymore. ”
Tanchun smiled: "I am the 'Qiushuang Jushi' (Tanchun lives in Qiushuangzhai, when the Begonia Poetry Society was opened, she used to use this as the name.) layman: refers to a reclusive person). Baoyu said: "Layman, the master is (after all) inappropriate (inappropriate), and cumbersome (verbose). There are all sycamores and plantains here, or it means that sycamores and plantains are upside down. Tanchun smiled: "Yes, I like bananas the most, so I call them 'banana guests' (Tanchun's alias in the poetry society)." "Everyone said it was chic and funny. Daiyu smiled: "You guys quickly took her and stewed the preserved (referring to the meat of the breasts of poultry and animals.)" 脯: pú) to eat wine. The crowd was puzzled. Daiyu said with a smile: "The ancients Zeng Yun 'banana leaves covered the deer' (from the "Liezi Zhou Mu Wang": In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Guo's woodcutter killed a deer, afraid of being seen by others, so he hid it in the pit and covered it with banana leaves, and later when he went to fetch the deer, he forgot where he was hiding, so he thought it was a dream. The original meaning is a metaphor for gains and losses, honor and disgrace like a dream, here Daiyu only takes the literal meaning of the deer under the banana to make fun of the spring). She called herself 'Banana Guest', but she wasn't a deer? And they all laughed.
Tan Chunyin said with a smile: "Don't be busy using clever words (clever words) to scold people, I have already thought of a very good name for you." He also said to everyone: "On that day, Empress E and Nuying (according to legend, they were Yao's two daughters, and they married Shun as concubines. Hou Shun went out to inspect and died in Cangwu. They rushed to the cave to mourn, and dyed the bamboo into spots under their tears, which was known as the spotted bamboo and the Xiangfei bamboo. Cast Hunan water to die, for the god of Hunan water) sprinkled tears on the bamboo into spots, so now the spotted bamboo is also known as the Xiangfei bamboo. Now she lives in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she loves to cry again, and in the future, she will think of Brother-in-law Lin, and those bamboos will also become spotted bamboos. In the future, they will call her 'Concubine Xiaoxiang' (Tanchun's nickname for Lin Daiyu in the Poetry Society), and it will be over. When everyone heard that, they all applauded. Lin Daiyu lowered her head and said nothing. Li Kun said with a smile: "I have already thought of a good one for Senior Sister Xue, and it is only three words." "Cherish spring and welcome spring, all ask what it is. Li Kun said: "I named her 'Wujun' (Li Kun's nickname for Xue Baochai in the Poetry Society, because she lives in Xuwuyuan, so she is called), I don't know how you are." Tanchun smiled: "This title (referring to the title given by people) is excellent. Baoyu said, "What about me? You can also think of one for me." Baochai smiled: "Your number has already been there, and the words 'nothing to do' are very appropriate." Li Kun said: "It's good that you are still your old name 'Jiangdong Flower Master' (Jia Baoyu's nickname once used)." Baoyu said with a smile: "When I was a child, I did a living (thing), and I still mentioned what it did." Tanchun said: "You have a lot of numbers, what do you do." Whatever we like to call you, you just say yes. Baochai said: "I have to give you a number." There is the most vulgar number, but it is the most appropriate (appropriate) for you. What is rare in the world is wealth, and what is rare is idleness (idle, unrestrained), these two things can no longer be both, and if you don't want to have both, just call you 'rich idler' (Xue Baochai's nickname to Jia Baoyu). Baoyu smiled: "I can't afford it, I can't afford it, but I can just let you mess around (messy)." Li Kun said: "What are the numbers of the second girl and the fourth girl?" Yingchun said: "We are not good at poetry, what do we do with a white number?" Tanchun said: "Even so, we also have a number." Baochai said: "She lives in Zilingzhou, so she is called 'Lingzhou' (Baochai's name for Yingchun in the Poetry Society); ”
Li Kun said: "That's it. But the preface (in order of age) I am older, and you all have to follow my ideas, and you will say that everyone agrees (like, satisfied). Seven of us started a club, and I, the second girl, and the fourth girl couldn't write poetry, so we had to let the three of us go. Each of the three of us has one thing. Tanchun smiled: "I already have a number, so I just need to call it like this, it's better not to have it." If you make a mistake in the future, you should also make a penalty contract (penalty rule). Li Kun said: "After the establishment of the society, the penalty contract will be made." I have a great place there, and I have a society in my place. Although I cannot write poetry, these poets are not tired of vulgar people, and I am a host (same as "host"). The host who invites and entertains guests for gatherings and feasts), I am naturally also elegant (pure and refined). If you want to push me to be the president, I am naturally not enough as a president, and it is necessary to invite two more vice presidents, so I invite Lingzhou and Lotus Xie two scholars (generally referring to readers) to come, one is limited to rhyme (in the old days, it was used as a rhythmic poem, and it was often limited to only rhyme in a certain rhyme, or only a few words could be used as rhyme in a certain rhyme department), and a transcription (in the ancient imperial examination, in order to prevent cheating, the candidate's test paper must be transcribed with a red pen before it is sent to the examiner for review, which is called transcription. The name is borrowed here, and the meaning of overseer is taken. 誊: téng) (monitoring the examination room). If we encounter an easier topic or rhyme (referring to the rhyming word at the end of the rhyme sentence), we will also make a song casually. But the four of you are to be qualified. If so, it will rise (from the society), if it is not according to me, I will not dare to attach Ji (originally refers to the fly attached to the tail of the Ji and caused thousands of miles, more metaphorically dependent on others to become famous. Ji: Maxima, a metaphor for a talented person). Yingchun and cherishing spring are lazy in poetry, and there are Xue and Lin in front, and when they heard this, they agreed with their own intentions, and both of them said: "Extremely." ”
Tanchun and the others also knew this, and saw that the two of them were happy (happy and sincere), and they were not strong (reluctantly), so they had to rely on it. Yin smiled and said: "It's okay to say this, I just thought it was funny, and I came up with an idea, and asked the three of you to take care of me." Baoyu said: "In this case, let's go to Daoxiang Village." Li Kun said: "It's all because you're busy, it's just a matter of discussing today, wait for me to invite you." Baochai said: "It is also necessary to agree on a meeting every few days (the meaning of concentrated activities)." Tanchun said: "If you just know more, it's not interesting again." In a month, only two or three times. Baochai nodded and said, "Two times a month is enough." Proposed dates, rain or shine. In addition to these two days, if there is something pleasing to her, she is willing to join a society, or she is willing to go to her, or she is attached (echoed), or she can make it lively and interesting. Everyone said, "That's a better idea." ”
Tanchun said: "It's just my intention (germinating idea), I have to be a host first, so as to live up to my excitement (rise, launch). Li Kun said: "In that case, how about you open a club tomorrow?" Tanchun said: "Tomorrow is not as good as today, and it is very good at the moment." You will come up with the question, Lingzhou limit rhyme, lotus pavilion supervision. Yingchun said: "According to me, there is no need to follow (according to, according to) one person to limit the rhyme, it is actually a lot (nián jiū, also called "catch lots"). From the pre-marked rolls or balls of paper, take one at random to decide the matter) fair (fair, reasonable). Li Kun said: "When I came just now, I saw them bring in two pots of white begonias, which are good flowers. Why don't you just sing it (use poems and other things to describe and express your feelings)?" Yingchun said: "Before you can appreciate it, you will compose poems first." Baochai said: "It's just a white begonia, so why do you have to see it." The poetry of the ancients (poems and fu. Fu is a genre that synthesizes ancient rhyme and prose), and it is nothing more than a sustenance (sustenance. Xing: Interest) to write love ears (that's it). If they had waited to see the work, there would be no more of these poems now. ”
Yingchun said: "That is the case, treat me to limit the rhyme." As he spoke, he walked to the bookshelf and took out a book of poems, and unveiled it casually, which turned out to be a seven-character poem (poem style. Each poem has eight sentences, each sentence has seven characters, and there is a certain rhythm in the flat, confrontation and rhyme. Words: words), handed to the crowd to read, should be made seven words. Yingchun covered up the poem, and said to a little girl: "You say a word casually (referring to saying it without thinking). The girl was leaning against the door, and she said the word "door." Yingchun said with a smile: "It's the rhyme of the door word, 'thirteen yuan' (the rhyme used in the near-body poem, a total of 106 rhymes. Each section takes the first word of the rhyme as the name of the rhyme. "Thirteen Yuan" is the abbreviation of the thirteenth rhyme that begins with the word "Yuan" in Shangpingsheng. "Door word rhyme" is to rhyme with the word "door" in the rhyme part of "Thirteen Yuan". The words "door" and "yuan" in modern Chinese do not rhyme together, which is due to the pronunciation changes in ancient and modern times or in different regions). The first rhyme must be the word 'door'. As he spoke, he asked for a rhyme card box (make a small sign for each word in the rhyme book, put it in the box according to the rhyme part, and use the word to search for the rhyme foot) came over, took out the "thirteen yuan" drawer, and ordered the little girl to take four pieces in her hand. The girl took four pieces: "basin", "soul", "trace" and "faint". Baoyu said: "The words 'basin' and 'door' are not very easy to make!"
The waiter (a "book to be written", the maid who explores spring) prepared four pieces of paper and pen (the same, there is no difference), and they all quietly thought about it. Dudaiyu or caress the sycamore, or look at the autumn colors, or laugh at the maids. Yingchun also made the maid burn (ignite) a "dream sweet incense" (a kind of incense name, which can be used as incense, and is often lit when composing poems to limit time). It turns out that this "dream sweet fragrance" is only three inches long, with the thickness of lamp grass (the central part of rush grass used to light oil lamps, slender type, can absorb oil), and it is easy to ember (burned), so this ember is limited, such as incense embers (the incense pointed to be burned) will be punished if it is not completed.
For a while, there was a spring visit, and I wrote it out with a pen, and then changed it (scribbled) once, and handed it to welcome the spring. Because he asked Baochai: "Lu Wujun, do you have it?" Baochai said: "Yes, but there is, but it's not good." Baoyu paced up and down the cloister with his hands behind his back (walking slowly. Pacing: duó), because he said to Daiyu: "Listen, they all have it." Daiyu said: "You don't care about me." Baoyu saw that Baochai had already transcribed (transcribed) it, and said: "It's amazing, it means that the situation is serious! Then he said to Daiyu: "The incense is over, what are you doing just squatting under the damp ground?" Daiyu ignored it. Baoyu said: "I can't take care of you, so I can write it out (whether it's good or not, make do)." As he spoke, he walked in front of the case and wrote.
Li Kun said: "We are going to read the poem, if we don't hand in the paper after reading it, we will be punished." Baoyu said: "Although the old farmer of Daoxiang is not good at doing it, he is good at looking at it, and he is the most fair, you will evaluate the advantages and disadvantages, and we will accept it." Everyone said, "Naturally." So I first read Tanchun's manuscript, which reads:
Yong white begonia, the soul of the limited door basin is faint
The slanting sun cold grass (frosted withered grass) with (connection) heavy gate (layer by layer courtyard door), moss (green moss) Yingpu (spread) after the rain pot. Jade is the spirit (referring to the character) is difficult to compare with the clean, and the snow is the muscles and bones that are easy to lose the soul (here is the meaning of intoxication). Fang Xin (referring to the woman's affection, here is a metaphor for the stamen) is a little delicate, and Qianying (beautiful figure) has traces of the third moon (referring to the projection of the white begonia reflected in the moonlight. Traces: Shadows here). Mo is a fairy in white (fairy in white. 缟: gǎo, white silk) can feather (Taoist means to fly into immortals), affectionate (heavy feelings) accompany me to sing the dusk. (Comment: This is a poem written by Tanchun about white begonias, in which the white begonias are compared to fairies in white, and they embody their noble and extraordinary character.) ）
Everyone watched it and appreciated it. Look at Baochai again:
Cherish (add meaning and cherish) Fangzi (women's beautiful posture) cover the door (close the door) during the day, and fill the moss pot with the urn (pottery urn that carries water) from (in person). Rouge washes out the shadow of the autumn steps (The autumn steps reflect the shadow of the white begonia that has been washed out of the rouge.) Rouge: Refers to red. Autumn Steps: Autumn Steps), Ice and Snow Summons the Spirit of the Dew (The Spirit of the White Begonia Ice and Snow is summoned next to the Dew Building. Dew-stained steps). The light pole knows that the flowers are more colorful, and the sorrow is more than the jade (metaphor refers to the white begonia) without a trace (refers to the tear stains, which is a metaphor for the delicate and dewy appearance of the white begonia). To repay (reward, repay) the White Emperor (ancient legend has five heavenly emperors in charge of the east, west, south, north, and central five directions, the White Emperor is the god in charge of the western autumn) with (let it) clean (innocent, clean and dust-free), silent Tingting (describe the beautiful appearance of the white begonia) sun and dusk. (Comment: This is a poem written by Baochai about the white begonia, the white begonia in the poem is dignified and elegant, just like Baochai's self-portrayal.) And the sentence "sorrowful and jade without traces" is considered by fat critics to be "satirizing Lin and Bao". ）
Li Kun smiled: "In the end, it's Lu Wujun." "As he spoke, he looked at Baoyu again, and the Tao was:
Autumn is light (describing the elegant and light appearance of white begonias) reflects the heavy door, and the seven sections are gathered (describing the begonia flowers are born layer by layer and bloom prosperously. Cuán: cuán, clustered) snow (metaphor white begonia flower) full pot. Out of the bath is too true (referring to Yang Guifei, the number is too true.) Tang Xuanzong once gave her a bath in Huaqing Pool, and once used Begonia to sleep not enough to describe the drunken state of the concubine. Here it is used to describe the cleanliness of begonia flowers) ice shadow, holding the heart of Xizi (referring to Xi Shi "holding the heart and cheeks", which looks very good. Here it is used to describe the delicate and delicate begonia flower) jade as the soul. Xiaofeng (the wind in the early morning) does not disperse (blows does not disperse) sorrow a thousand points (refers to the white flowers blooming on the branches, if there is infinite sorrow), and the rain (last night's rain) also adds a trace of tears. Leaning alone on the painting column (here the begonia flower is compared to the woman who misses her lover alone) as if intentional (thoughtful), clear anvil (cold pounding sound. Anvil: zhēn, pounding clothes stone) resentment flute (mournful flute sound) send dusk. (Comment: This is a poem written by Baoyu about white begonias, and the white begonias in the poem may contain the images of Daiyu (Xizi) and Baochai (Taizhen). ）
Everyone read it, Baoyu said that it was good to explore spring, and Li Kun wanted to push Baochai's poem to have identity (here refers to quality, style), because he urged Daiyu again. Daiyu said: "You all have it." "Saying that, with a wave of the pen (to describe the quick thinking, the pen into a chapter.) Wave: Wave the pen. just: done), tossed to the crowd. Li Kun and others looked at her and wrote:
Half-rolled Hunan curtain (curtain made of Hunan concubine bamboo. Secretly fit the identity of "Xiaoxiang Concubine") half-covered door, grinding ice for soil and jade for basins.
After reading this, Baoyu first cheered (loudly applauded), and only said, "Where did you come from!" and then looked at the following words:
Steal the pear stamen three points white, borrow a wisp of plum blossom soul (using the artistic conception of "plum and snow are three points white, but the snow loses a piece of plum fragrance" in Lu Meipo's "Snow Plum" in the Song Dynasty, and uses "pear stamen" and "plum blossoms" to set off the whiteness and fragrance of white begonias).
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but applaud, saying, "Sure enough, it is the same (one, here is a different meaning) heart than others." And look at the following sayings:
The moon cave immortal sews a silk coat (a metaphor for the white begonia flower like the white clothes sewn by the immortal in the moon.) Moon Grotto: Moon Palace. Immortal: Refers to Chang'e. Silk robe: refers to clothes made of white silk. 袂: mèi, sleeves, borrowed clothes), the autumn boudoir resentful woman wipes the traces (a metaphor for the white begonia flower and like the complaining woman in the autumn boudoir wiping her tears. Autumn boudoir: The boudoir in autumn, a place that is easy to lead to autumn thoughts. Resentful woman: refers to a woman with a grudge who is addicted to love. Wipe: wipe, wipe). Shy and silently complained to whom, tired of leaning on the west wind (autumn wind) and the night was dark. (Comment: This is a poem written by Daiyu about white begonias, and the begonia flowers in the poem embody her unique arrogant character.) ）
Everyone saw it, and this was the first one. Li Kun said: "If you talk about the chic (describing the poem with a special or novel charm), it is this one, and if you talk about the subtle and rich (describing the style of the poem is graceful and simple), it will finally let (inferior, inferior) the manuscript." Tanchun said: "This evaluation is reasonable, Concubine Xiaoxiang should be second." Li Kun said: "Yihong Gongzi is the tail (at the end, the meaning of the ranking last), are you convinced?" Baoyu said: "My original is not good, this is the most fair." He smiled again: "It's just that the two heads of Yu and Xiao still have to be considered (measured, considered)." Li Kun said: "It was based on (basis, obey) my comments (judgment, judgment), and it has nothing to do with you, and those who say more will be punished." When Baoyu heard about it, she had no choice but to give up.
Li Kun said: "From now on, I am scheduled to open the club on the second and sixteenth days of the first month of each month, and the questions and rhymes must be up to me." In the meantime, if you are happy, you just have to choose another day to make up for it, even if it is a daily opening for a month, I just don't care. But on the second and sixteenth days of the first month, they will go to me. Baoyu said: "In the end, we want to have a company name." Tanchun said: "It's vulgar and bad, it's new, and it's not good to be tricky and eccentric (described as cold and weird). But it happened (just now) that it was the beginning of the Begonia poem (the beginning, the beginning), so it was called a Begonia Society. Although it is vulgar, because there is such a thing, it will not hinder (no hindrance, it doesn't matter). After saying that, everyone discussed again, used some wine and fruit, and then dispersed. There are also those who go home, and there are those who go to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. At the moment, others have nothing to say.
It is said that the attacker went with Cuimo in a panic because he saw Baoyu reading the word post (referring to the invitation to Tanchun), and he didn't know what it was. Later, I saw that the mother-in-law at the back door sent two pots of begonia flowers. The attacker asked where it came from, and the mother-in-law told Baoyu the reason for the previous reason. When the attacker heard this, he ordered them to set them up and let them be in the lower room (side room, side room. Opposite to the upper room. He went to his own room, weighed six pieces of silver, sealed it, and brought three hundred pieces of silver, and handed them to the two mothers-in-law, saying, "This money is for the boys who brought the flowers, and you can drink and eat this money." The women stood up and smiled (their brows were stretched and their eyes were smiling. Describe the happy and happy look), I refused to accept it with great gratitude, and when I saw that the attacker insisted on not accepting it, I took it.
The attacker said: "Are there any boys on duty outside the back door?" The mother-in-law hurriedly replied: "There are four every day, and I was originally prepared to send an envoy inside." If there is any errand for the girl, we will tell her to go. The attacker smiled and said: "What's the errand? Today, Second Master Bao wants to send someone to the little marquis's house to send things to Miss Shi, but it just so happens that you are here, and by the way, go out and ask the back door boys to hire a car." When you come back, you will take the money from here, and you will not have to tell them to go back to the front. The mother-in-law agreed.
The attacker returned to the room, took a plate to hold something and sent it to Shi Xiangyun, but saw a mallet (a shelf, a wooden shelf for storing utensils) on a saucer slot (a shelf for placing dishes. Slot: The part of the object that is raised on both sides and concave in the middle) is empty. Because I looked back, I saw Qingwen, Qiuwen, Musk Yue, etc., all doing needlework in one place (referring to sewing, embroidery and other needlework. 黹:zhǐ), the attacker asked, "Where is this dish of white agate with red and other silk patterns?" For a long time, Qingwen smiled and said: "Give lychees to the third girl (also called "concubine laughing"). The fruit is round, bright reddish-purple, the skin is striped, the flesh is white and juicy, and the taste is sweet). "There are many guys who send things at home (ordinary), and Baba (somehow, specially) takes this." Qingwen said: "Why don't I say the same." He said that this dish looks good with fresh lychees. I sent it, and the third girl said that it looked good when she saw it, so she didn't bring it even when she put the plate. You see, the pair of bead bottles at the end of the mallet (the two bottles are exactly the same and connected in pairs, meaning "beads are combined") have not yet been confiscated. ”
Qiu Wen smiled: "When I lift the bottle, I think of jokes again." Our second master Bao said (if, once) filial piety moved, and filial piety to twenty points (described to the extent of the limit). Because I saw the osmanthus in the garden that day, I broke two branches, which I wanted to insert in a bottle, and suddenly remembered that this was a new flower in my garden, and I didn't dare to play first, so I took down the pair of bottles, and filled them with water and plugged them in person, and asked someone to take them, and personally sent a bottle into the old lady (presented, presented), and then into a bottle with the wife. Who knew that his filial piety moved, and even the people he followed were blessed (got good luck). But it happened that I took it that day. When the old lady saw this, she was overjoyed (as if she didn't know what to do.) Described as extremely emotional), when he saw people, he said: 'In the end, Baoyu is filial to me, and even a flower can be obtained (here is the meaning of putting it in my heart).' Others only complained that I hurt him. You know, the old lady doesn't talk to me much every day, and some of them don't get into the eyes of her old man. On that day, they asked for a few hundred dollars to be given to me, and said that I was pitiful and pitiful, and that I was born weak and weak. This is a blessing that I can't imagine again. A few hundred dollars is a trivial matter, and it is rare to have this face (face, affection). When I got to my wife, my wife was rummaging through the boxes with the second grandmother, Aunt Zhao, and Aunt Zhou, looking for the clothes of the young color (bright color) of the day (back then), and I don't know which one to give. When I saw it, I didn't even look for clothes, but looked at the flowers. There are also two grandmothers next to them to make fun (to fit other people's interests and make people happy. ), how to be filial piety, and how to know good and bad (sensible, understand the truth), some of them (whether there are or not) said two cars of words (there are a lot of words to describe). In front of everyone, the wife thought (naturally think) that she had added glory and gagged everyone's mouths (gag: meaning to be speechless in front of the facts). My wife liked it more and more, and she rewarded me with two ready-made clothes. Clothes are also trivial, and they are also obtained every year (anyway), but they are not like this color head (decent, glorious). ”
Qingwen smiled: "Phew! The little hoof who has not seen the world (scolding a young girl, it can be used on a frolical occasion)! That is to give the good ones to others, and pick the rest to you, and you still have a face (glory, face)." Qiu Wen said: "Whoever she gives is the grace of the wife (the benefit or care that the master gives to the slave). Qingwen said: "If it were me, I wouldn't want it." If you give what is left to others, then it is okay (here it means to dispense with it, not to use it). Give her the good ones and give me the rest, I would rather not offend my wife, and I will not be angry with this soft breath (being secretly wronged and angry). Qiu Wen hurriedly asked, "Who is it for in this house?" I went home because my son was sick for a few days, and I don't know who it was for. Good sister, you tell me you know. Qingwen said: "I told you, will you return it to your wife?" Qiu Wen smiled: "Nonsense." I listened to it in vain (out of thin air) and liked it. Even if I give the rest to the dogs in this house, I will only receive the grace of my wife, and I will not do anything else. Everyone laughed when they heard this: "It's a clever scolding, but it didn't give the Western (referring to the Western European and American countries) the idea (referring to the pattern into a dot) haba (that is, "pug"). This is a metaphor for attacking people, and sarcastically mocking her as a submissive minion). The attacker laughed and said, "You guys have rotten mouths! When you have a chance, you make fun of me and make fun of me." One by one, I don't know how to die. Qiu Wen smiled: "It turns out that my sister got it, I really don't know." I'm not going to apologize (apologize). ”
The attacker smiled: "Less frivolous (frivolous, unstable)." Whoever of you takes the plate is right. Musk Yue said: "The bottle should be collected when it is empty (there is a chance)." The old lady's house is still there, and there are many people in the wife's house. Others are okay, but Aunt Zhao and Grandma Zhao and her gang saw that it was something in this house, and they should have damaged the black heart (bad heart). Mrs. doesn't care about these things, so it's better to take it seriously. When Qingwen heard this, she threw down the needlework and said, "That's right, wait for me to take it." Qiu Wen said: "I'll take it, you take your plate." Qingwen smiled: "I prefer (to deliberately come in reverse, in order to strengthen the tone) to take a trip (one time, one trip)." It's Qiao Zong'er (a good thing with a rare opportunity) You all got it, don't you want me to have it?" Musk Yue smiled: "Tong Gong (total) Autumn girl got a lot of clothes, where is it coincidental today, you also can't find clothes." Qingwen sneered: "Even if I can't touch my clothes, or if my wife sees that I am diligent (diligent), I will give me two taels of silver from my wife's public expenses (here refers to the division issued to Mrs. Wang from the family account) a month, but I can't do it." As he spoke, he smiled and said, "Don't pretend to be a ghost with me, I don't know what is going on." As he spoke, he ran out. Autumn Wen also came out with her, and went to Tanchun to get a saucer.
The attacker made some things, called an old Song mother in the department, and said to her: "You have freshened up (well) first, changed into clothes for going out (out), and now send you and Miss Shi to send things." The grandmother said, "The girl just leave it to me, if you have something to say to me, I will go (directly) after I have packed up." When the attacker heard this, he brought two small filigree boxes (boxes made of fine bamboo silk and partially lacquered). Uncover one first, which contains red water chestnut (a purple-brown water chestnut) and chicken head (i.e., gourd, commonly known as "chicken head rice"). It is an aquatic plant with edible fruits) two kinds of fresh fruits, and the other one is a plate of steamed new chestnut flour cake with osmanthus sugar. He also said: "These are all new fruits in our garden here this year, and the second master Bao sent them to taste with the girl." The day before yesterday, the girl said that the agate plate was good, so the girl stayed to play. This silk bag is the work that the girl asked me to do last day (referring to sewing, embroidery and other needlework products), the girl should not be too rough (here refers to the workmanship is not fine), can be used (will be). Just say hello to us and say hello to the second master. Mama Song said: "Second Master Bao doesn't know what else to say, the girl will ask again, and don't forget when you come back." The attacker asked Qiu Wen: "Can you see it where the three girls are?" Qiu Wen said: "What poetry society are they all discussing there, and they are all composing poems." If you don't want to come, you just go. When Mama heard this, she took her things and went out, and dressed up for the other time. The attacker instructed her again: "Go out through the back door, there are boys and cars waiting for you." "After Song's mother goes, it's not a problem (put it aside for the time being).
When Baoyu came back, he was busy looking at the begonias first, and went to the room to tell the attacker about the poetry club. The attacker also told Baoyu about sending Song's mother and Shi Xiangyun to send things. Baoyu listened, clapped his hands and said, "I forgot her." I felt (I felt) something in my heart, but I couldn't remember it, and I was about to ask her to go because you brought it up. What does it mean if she is missing from this poetry club? The attacker advised: "What matters, but it is nothing but a thing (a contemptuous word for things)." She is not as free as you, and she is not the master of the house (she cannot adjudicate and be autonomous). Tell her that she wants to come and can't help her, if she doesn't come, she will be worried about the ground, and if she doesn't want to do it, she will not be useful. Baoyu said: "It's okay, I'll go back to the old lady and send someone to pick her up." As she was talking, Mother Song had come back, replying to Dao Shengshou (here is a word of thanks, the meaning of embarrassment and hard work), and the attacker was lacking (greetings, thanks), and said: "Ask the second master what to do, I said what poetry club to compose poems with the girls." Miss Shi said that they didn't tell her to go when they wrote poems, and she was in a hurry. When Baoyu heard this, he stood up and went to Jia's mother, and immediately forced (immediately urged) to ask someone to pick him up. Jia Muyin said: "It's late today, I'll go back early tomorrow morning." "Baoyu had no choice but to come back sullen (depressed).
Early the next morning, he went to Jia's mother again to urge someone to pick him up. It wasn't until late afternoon that Shi Xiangyun came, and Baoyu Fang was relieved, and when they met, he told her the reason for the whole thing (referring to what happened), and he wanted to read poems with her. Li Kun and others said: "Don't show her poems, let's talk about rhyme with her first." Later, she first punished her and poems (composing poems according to the genre and rhyme of other people's poems. And: hè): If it is good, please join the company, if it is not good, you will punish her with a host (as an east treat). Shi Xiangyun said: "You forgot to invite me, and I will punish you." Take rhyme, although I can't, I have to make a fool of myself (metaphor for losing face in front of everyone). Let me join the society, sweep the floor and burn incense (here refers to doing some rough work such as sweeping the floor and burning incense), and I am willing. ”
Seeing her so interesting, everyone liked her more and more, and they all complained about how they forgot her yesterday, so they hurriedly told her the rhyme. Shi Xiangyun is full of heart (full of heart, full of heart) Xingtou (happy, proud), and can't wait for scrutiny (metaphor to consider the words, pondering repeatedly) to delete, while just talking to people, his heart has already been reconciled, that is, he recorded it with a casual pen and paper, and said with a smile: "I have two songs according to the rhyme, but I don't know whether it is good or bad (good or bad), but it is just an order (obey the order, obey the order)." He handed it to the people. Everyone said: "Our four songs can be regarded as exhausted, and we can't do it again." You have made two poems, and there are many words that say that it is necessary (must) to be heavy (chóng, repeated) us. As he spoke, and when he looked at it, he saw the two poems that read:
Chapter 1
The gods descended to the capital gate (Kyoto City Gate) yesterday, and planted Lantian jade (planting jade: Dian out of the dry treasure "Sou Shen Ji", describing the life of the immortals. Lantian County: Lantian County, Shaanxi Province, was famous for producing beautiful jade in ancient times. Here "Lantian jade" is used as a metaphor for white begonias). Since Shuang'e prefers cold (metaphor for white begonia flowers, they love the cold of ice and snow like Shuang'e.) Self-is: This is. Shuang'e: The green girl, the goddess in charge of frost and snow in myths and legends. Preference for cold: using the poem "Frost Moon" by Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty: "The young girl Su'e is resistant to cold, and she fights Chanjuan in the frost in the middle of the month." "Frost passes" widow ", widow. When hinting at Shi Xiangyun's later married life), it is not about a Chinese woman and a soul (a metaphor for a begonia flower Although she is not a Chinese girl, she is also as amorous as a woman who has left her soul. A Chinese Girl's Soul: An excerpt from Chen Xuanyou's "Soul Leaving the Soul" in the Tang Dynasty: Zhang Yi's (yì)'s young daughter Qianniang fell in love with Wang Zhou, Zhang Yi gave her another family to his family, Wang Zhou was angry and traveled away, and Qianniang fled with him. Five years later, they went home to see their parents, and at this time, Qianniang, who had been ill for a long time, came out of the room and became one with the returning Qianniang. It turned out that it was Qianniang's soul who ran away with Wang Zhou). Autumn Yin (autumn clouds) out (here the autumn yin is personified, writing the shape of the begonia flower like a handful of snow) where the snow, rain stains (rain dipping. stain: zì) to add a scar. But the poet is tireless, how can he make the loneliness of the morning and dusk (early morning and dusk). (Comment: This is the first poem written by Shi Xiangyun to sing about white begonias, praising white begonias for their extraordinary birth, ice muscles and jade bones.) It also indirectly shows Xiangyun's optimistic and open-minded character. ）
Second
Angelica dahurica (refers to two kinds of herbs, Angelica dahurica) and radix (refers to two kinds of vine plants, Angelica dahurica. 薜: bì) door, also suitable for the corner of the wall and pot. Flowers are difficult to find a mate (spouse, partner) because of joy and cleanness, and it is easy to break the soul in the autumn (describing extreme sorrow). The jade candle drips dry the tears in the wind (the burning white candle is used as a metaphor for the white begonia swaying in the autumn wind.) Jade candle: refers to the white candle), the crystal curtain breaks through the middle of the moon (from the crystal curtain to see the white begonia in the moonlight, the posture is even more hazy and blurred. Crystal curtain: refers to the crystal curtain. Mid-moon marks: refers to the shadow of flowers under the moon). Youqing (feelings hidden deep in the heart) wants to pay to Chang'e (also called "姮 (héng)娥", the goddess of the Moon Palace in myths and legends. was originally Hou Yi's wife, who flew to the Moon Palace because she secretly ate the medicine of immortality, and since then she has lived alone in the Moon Palace) complained, but the empty corridor (referring to the silent corridor) was dark at night. (Comment: This is the second poem written by Shi Xiangyun to sing about Bai Haitang, from the environment in which Bai Haitang is located and character, more reflects Xiangyun's unfortunate life and married life.) ）
Everyone looked at it, was surprised, saw it, praised it, and said: "This is not in vain (not disappointed) to make a Begonia poem, it is really time to start the Begonia Society." Shi Xiangyun said: "Tomorrow I will be punished for a host (as an east treat), so let me invite a club first?" "Because I commented (discussed, discussed) with her yesterday again.
In the evening, Baochai invited Xiangyun to rest in Wuyuan. Under the Xiangyun lantern, how to set up the east (as the host) to prepare the topic. Baochai listened to her for a long time, but it was inappropriate, because he said to her: "Since the company is opened, it must be the east." Although it is a gadget (still a joke), it is also necessary to look ahead and backward (to describe the thoughtfulness before doing things), and to be cheap (convenient and appropriate). Ben: biàn), and you have to not offend people, and then everyone is interesting (interesting, interesting). You are not in charge of your family, and you are not able to make decisions and be independent, and you have a total of a few strings of money a month, and you are not enough to spend (expenses, expenses). This time you are doing this unimportant (unimportant) thing again, and your aunt will hear it and complain about you more and more. Besides, if you take it all out, it's not enough to be the host. Is it possible to go to this home, or to ask for it here?" Xiangyun was reminded by the words, and he hesitated (chóu chú, hesitant).
Baochai said: "I already have an idea for this. We pawnshops (shops that specialize in taking collateral and lending money to people. There is a guy in the house, and he has a good fat crab in his field, and he sent a few catties a few pounds ago. Now more than half (most, more than half) of the people in the garden, from the old lady onwards, are crab eaters. The day before yesterday, my aunt also said that she would invite the old lady to enjoy the osmanthus and eat crabs in the garden, because she had not yet been invited for something. Don't mention the poetry club now, just (only responsible) for ordinary (usually, usually) a request (a clearance). When they disperse, we can't write as many poems as we can (here we can all write). I told my brother that I would ask for a few baskets of extremely fat crabs, a few jars of good wine from the shop, and four or five tables of fruit plates. When Xiangyun heard this, she was convinced (moved, admired) in her heart, and praised her for being thoughtful.
Baochai smiled again: "I am a sincere word for you (here for your sake)." Don't think too much, thinking that I underestimate (despise, despise) you, and the two of us will be good in vain (in vain). If you don't care, I'll let them do it. Xiangyun hurriedly smiled: "Good sister, if you say this, you will treat me with more care." If I don't treat my sister as my own sister, I won't be able to tell you all those common words (at home on weekdays) and troubles (boring and distressed things) last time. When Baochai heard this, he called a mother-in-law: "Go out and tell the uncle, according to the big crab the day before yesterday, I want a few baskets, and tomorrow after dinner, please invite the old lady and aunt to enjoy the osmanthus flowers." You said uncle, don't forget (no matter what), I've invited (invited) people today. The woman went out to explain, but came back without saying anything.
Here Baochai said to Xiangyun again: "The title of the poem should not be too novel and ingenious (novel and ingenious)." You look at the tricky and strange topics in the poems of the ancients and the extremely dangerous rhyme (dangerous rhyme: when composing a poem, there are fewer rare words in the rhyme as the rhyme), if the title is too new and ingenious, the rhyme is too dangerous, and there can be no good poems (no matter what), it will end up being petty (stingy, not generous). Although the poem is afraid of saying familiar words (the words of the people), it should not be too surviving (the pursuit of seclusion), as long as the first idea (referring to the proposition, the theme) is fresh (novel and unconventional), and the natural wording (also used as "wording"). The words and phrases used in the expression) are not vulgar (not ordinary, not shallow). In the end, this is nothing, or is it that spinning (referring to spinning and weaving) and needlework (referring to sewing and embroidering) are the natural (internal affairs) of you and me. I am idle for a while, but it is serious (justifiable) to read a few chapters of a book that is deeply beneficial (very helpful) to you and me. ”
Xiangyun only agreed, because he smiled: "I think in my heart now, I made a begonia poem yesterday, how about I make a chrysanthemum poem now?" Baochai said: "The chrysanthemum is also in line with the scene (in line with the scene), but there are too many people in front of me." Xiangyun said: "I think the same way, I'm afraid that I will fall into the trap (fall into the cliché)." Baochai thought for a while and said: "Yes, now with chrysanthemums as guests and people as the mainstay, I actually (finally) came up with several topics, all of which are two words: a virtual word and a real word (the meaning of the virtual word and the real word here is different from the understanding of today's people. In the concept of the ancients, the tangible name is a real word, and the rest, including verbs, adjectives, etc., are all classified as imaginary words), the real word is used in the word 'chrysanthemum', and the imaginary word is used in the general door (belonging to the general category). Gate: refers to the use of words in rhythmic poems, and some poems are classified according to the parts of speech). In this way, it is a chrysanthemum, and it is a matter of endowment. Fu: Lay out, lay out), no one has done it before, and it can't (won't, can't) fall into the trap. Fujing (writing scenes) and singing things are connected (related, connected), fresh and generous (natural, unrestrained). ”
Xiangyun smiled: "This is very good. It's just that I don't know what kind of imaginary words to use. You think of one first, I'll hear it. Baochai thought for a while and said with a smile: ""Ju Meng" is good. Xiangyun smiled: "It's really good." I also have one, "Chrysanthemum Shadow" can be made?" Baochai said: "It's okay (I think it's reasonable, I agree). It's just that some people have done it, and if there are many topics, this can be counted (count, count). I have another one. Xiangyun said: "Say it quickly." Baochai said: "How is "Ask Ju"?" Xiangyun patted the case and called it wonderful (patted the table and applauded, and described it very much), because he said: "I also have it, how about "Visiting Ju"?" Baochai also praised the fun, because he said: "Yue sex (simply, simply) draw up ten, write it and come back." As he spoke, the two of them dipped the ink in the pen, Xiangyun wrote, Baochai read, and made up ten for a while (for a short time, soon). Xiangyun looked at it again, and said with a smile: "Ten is not yet a picture (set, group), and the Yue sex (simply, simply) is all made into twelve, just like people's calligraphy and painting albums (also known as "album leaves", referring to the calligraphy and painting framed into a book, or referring to the number of pages). ”
When Baochai heard this, he thought of two more, and made up a total of twelve. And he said, "In this way, the Yue sex makes it up in order. Xiangyun said: "It's even better, it's actually made into a chrysanthemum spectrum (arranged according to the category or system of things)." Baochai said: "The beginning (beginning) is "Remembering the Chrysanthemum"; the memory can not (can't), so the visit (searching), the second is the "Visit Chrysanthemum"; the visit is vested, then the species, the third is the "Chrysanthemum"; the kind is in full bloom, so the relative (face-to-face) and appreciation, the fourth is the "Chrysanthemum" (face to face with the chrysanthemum); the relative and more than enough (to describe the interest is not exhausted), so fold to the bottle for play (ornamental), the fifth is "for the chrysanthemum" (fold the chrysanthemum inserted in the bottle, placed indoors for viewing); both for the sake but not groaning, but also feel that the chrysanthemum has no color (brilliance), the sixth is the "Yongdai" (chanting chrysanthemums);both into the chapter (generally referring to poetry), must not provide pen and ink (here is the meaning of the expression of pen and ink), the seventh is "painting chrysanthemums"; both for chrysanthemums (so) busy (busy), I don't know what is the beauty of chrysanthemums, I can't help but ask, the eighth is "ask chrysanthemums" (ask chrysanthemums); chrysanthemums (can understand people's words), so that people can't help but be ecstatic, the ninth is "hairpin chrysanthemums" (fold chrysanthemums and wear them on the head. Hairpin: insert, wear); so although the personnel are exhausted, there are still chrysanthemums that can be sung, "Chrysanthemum Shadow" and "Chrysanthemum Dream" two songs continue in the eleventh; the last volume (the end of the volume, here refers to the last song) will be "Remnant Chrysanthemum" total collection (the end of the return) pretitle (referring to the previous writing) of the prosperity (many, rich). This is the wonderful scenery and wonderful events of the three autumns (referring to the three months of autumn). ”
Xiang Yunyi said that he recorded the inscription, read it again, and asked again, "What rhyme should it be limited?" Baochai said: "I don't like the limit of rhyme the most in my life (plain, usually), there are clearly good poems, why bother to be bound by rhyme." Let's not learn from that small family (that is, small family spirit), only ask questions, and do not rhyme (that is, limit rhyme). It turned out to be a good sentence for everyone to get (accidentally obtained) for fun, and it was not difficult for this (difficult, difficult) people. Xiangyun said: "This is very true. In this way, everyone's poems go one layer further. But there are only five of us, and each of these twelve topics can't make twelve songs?" Baochai said: "That's too difficult." Transcribe this topic well, and put it on the wall tomorrow. And they saw that whoever did it did whomever he did. Those who have the strength (ability) can also compose the twelve capitals, and those who can't (can't do it, don't have the ability) can not do it, and it is okay to not succeed in one song. Those who are highly talented and quick (describe outstanding talents and quick thinking) are respected. But if the twelve are complete, let him not be allowed to do it again after him, and the punishment will be finished. Xiangyun said: "That's fine. The two of them discussed it properly, and then turned off the lights and went to bed. To know the end, and listen to the next breakdown.
