Return to the Red Chamber: Jia Min Xiuxian

Chapter 105 The Chrysanthemum Feast to Dispel the Edge (2)
At that time, Jia Min was sometimes quite strange.Ordinary officials and eunuchs, even Jia Min attended the banquet when he was a child, and there were several handkerchiefs handed over.Why, except for a few relatives and sisters, Daiyu and the others never interacted with outsiders and didn't know anyone.Even the Wang family and the Xing family did not see them interacting with some wives in the officialdom. Except for Wang's natal family, they have never interacted with other families.

But Wang's natal family has nothing to do with Daiyu, not to mention that Wang doesn't like Daiyu, so Daiyu has never been out of Rongguo Mansion during the few years in Jia's mansion, except for going to Qingxu Temple for a ritual ceremony.It's no wonder that Daiyu often hurts the spring and the autumn. What she sees all year round is that.

Therefore, in Jia Min's life, she paid special attention to letting Daiyu go out frequently, make friends, and occasionally hold a banquet by herself, and invite her sisters to come and play. If you think about it more, you will naturally not be confined to a small world.

In the blink of an eye, it has been several months since the Lin family returned to the capital, and both Daiyu and Jia Min have their own special positions in the social circle of the capital.

It's a good time for autumn.The chrysanthemums are in full bloom, just like "When autumn comes and September [-]th, all the flowers will kill after my flowers bloom. The soaring fragrance permeates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor." Although this is not Chang'an, this kind of chrysanthemum is full of flowers. The charm of the golden armor is the same.

On this day, Daiyu held a chrysanthemum banquet at home with Jia Min's support.Lan Jing from Zhaojia's family, Yingchun from Jia's mansion, and several others, Hailan from Wanyan's family, Luo Cha's daughter, and Mingyue from Fucha's daughter, Ma Qi's daughter, were invited to enjoy the chrysanthemum feast.

On the way, someone suggested writing a poem.However, apart from Daiyu, Yingchun, and the girl who proposed, the rest were educated to satisfy noble girls since they were young, focusing on riding and shooting. They have read some books, but they can't write poetry.Although Yingchun can make two songs, they are not very delicate.

Only Daiyu, who was already very spiritual, could compose poems at the age of five.There are more than ten years of memories of the previous life, and I have read so many books.It can be said that the last thing Daiyu kept were those books.There are also some lonely copies among them, but the people in Jia's mansion don't understand those, so they didn't snatch them away.So it was preserved by Daiyu.As for the scholarly fragrance of the Lin family, even if everything is missing, the most important thing is books.Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Daiyu is well-read.

However, in front of so many ladies, especially Manchu Gege, it is obviously not wise to show that you can write poetry and do it well.Daiyu is not a fool, on the contrary, she is very smart, so she will not do such things that blatantly increase hatred.

But if she doesn't do it, someone will force her to do it.For example, Wanyan's Hailan, for some reason, has always looked at Daiyu as if she didn't like her. From the first time the two met, she had been hostile towards Daiyu, and would often pretend to be naive and say something to challenge her. The thing that stumbles Daiyu is similar to Xiangyun in the previous life, using innocence as a scheming and deep coat, but it is just a child's family, and Daiyu doesn't care about her.

Originally, I didn't want to invite her this time. After all, no one likes to be with people who are looking for trouble everywhere. Even Lan Jing has discovered it, so when they are with Daiyu, they usually don't mention Wanyan Hailan.But after all, Daiyu joined this circle late, and Wanyan Hailan got along well with others before.Everyone thought she was just being outspoken.If everyone else invites her and misses out on her, there will be troubles in the future.I'm afraid it will make others think that Daiyu cares about a child, so I will say that Daiyu is petty.

Only Daiyu, the client, and Lan Jing, who is now as close as a sister to Daiyu, are the only ones who know the true face of this Wanyan Hailan, so they can try to avoid as much as possible.But Wanyan Hailan just likes to come over to pick Daiyu's thorns, even if Daiyu avoids her, she will still look for her, as if she is not pleasing to have Daiyu by her side.

Especially every time Daiyu and Lan Jing go to a place where there are few people to talk alone, she has to find her every time, often saying that Daiyu doesn't fit in, looks down on everyone, and only wants to be with Lan Jing.She seems to particularly like to give Daiyu aggro.After a long time, Daiyu also recalled it.I dare say she is jealous.

Lan Jing has a good temper and often tolerates her.But since Daiyu entered this circle, Lan Jing and Daiyu have gotten better.The intimacy between the two made her look very dazzling.In addition, Daiyu was originally beautiful, the most outstanding among all the people.The family is very powerful, and many young ladies are fawning on Daiyu.And Daiyu is kind to others, and she doesn't have the kind of arrogant temper that is used to being praised, so everyone makes friends with Daiyu.This hit Wanyan Hailan hard.

But every time she finds a fault, it can be resolved by Daiyu's four or two thousand catties, which makes her even more embarrassed and angry, and vows to make Daiyu embarrass herself once.Even if she can't make a fool of herself, she must be hated by everyone.

Therefore, this time is an excellent opportunity.Isn't Daiyu good at writing poems?No one in Manchuria knows how to compose poetry. She alone not only did it, but also did it very well. Doesn't this show the mediocrity of others?In this way, I don't believe that who else will make friends with her?
So Wanyan Hailan said when Daiyu was about to cancel this link: "I have heard that Sister Lin's family has a scholarly family, Mr. Lin is from a family background, and Sister Lin is also known for her talent. This poem should be a special gift for Sister Lin." It’s not difficult. Why don’t you ask Sister Lin to compose a poem for us all to look up to, so that we can enjoy the fragrance of books. To avoid being said that Manchu daughters have no talent or virtue, they are not as gentle and talented as Han daughters.”

It's a pity that Wanyan Hailan's calculation was wrong, how could it be that she calculated Daiyu so easily?

As soon as she finished speaking, Daiyu said enviously, "Sister Wanyan is wrong. Manchu daughters are as good as Manchu daughters, and Han daughters are as good as Han daughters. Of course, they have their own helplessness."

"Take me for example. All sisters know that our family's scholarly family has been handed down from generation to generation. Naturally, I have been immersed in books for a long time, and I grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. There are very strict etiquette for girls. , girls are not allowed to go out casually, and they don’t even know how to ride a horse. Except for going to the temple to burn incense or go to banquets, they stay at home all day long, reading and embroidering. Yes, but no freedom."

"What's even worse is that girls of the Han family require their feet to be bound. When they were four or five years old, they had to wrap their feet in tightly-wrapped cloth. After wrapping them in this way, they were too small, and they looked good in embroidered shoes, but their feet had already been wrapped. The entanglement is deformed, and I can't walk steadily, let alone run. I don't even think about riding a horse and archery like a Manchu girl."

"Actually, I like the lives of the ladies in Beijing. They are chic and unrestrained, and they live a relaxed life. Riding horses and archery, they are heroic."
