Red Mansion Reader

Chapter 52 Crane

After the Xue family banquet, it took another three days before Bao Qin came down to the back hall of the academy under the escort of the servants.Master Xie had heard about this from Pei Huaizhen before, and when Bao Qin entered the school, he dragged her to introduce it to others.

When Baoqin came here for the first time, she was still a little apprehensive.Although she is often taken around by her father, her closest relatives are not around at the moment.It was only when she thought of Xue Biao studying in the front hall that she felt a little more at ease.

Teacher Xie's class is easy to understand, although Bao Qin missed the previous part of the Book of Songs and half of the Songs of Chu.But the Tang poems and Song Ci poems that are currently on the market also have the same effect.

Xue Zhen himself likes to read books, and has personally taught Xue Bian and Bao Qin the enlightenment.Xue Zhen can follow the child anywhere, but the only way is to study, and the requirements are very strict.

Xue Zhen's hard teaching made it sound like Xue Baoqin didn't have to work hard at the moment.

What's more, Teacher Xie likes to tell the beauty of poetry, and then mix in some allusions and knowledge from history books.

Xue Baoqin's thoughts inevitably followed Master Xie's gentle tone, traveling through time and space to travel the beauty of the world.

This Music Instrument Academy is really a good place.

It's not like the female master in the rumors, who rigidly teaches people to read the Four Books for Women.It's not like my father, who tells a good story in a bland manner.

Actually Xue Baoqin doesn't know, it will be a few years later.Teacher Xie will also teach them the Four Books for Women and the Classic of Filial Piety, but he thinks that they are young now, firstly, they need to cultivate their love of reading, and secondly, at this age, the precepts and deeds of their parents are more important.

Master Xie naturally understands the principle of doing things in a hurry.

That's why she prefers some witty intellectual allusions, just to make these children like reading and experience the benefits that poetry brings to people.The road of life is so long, how can we go far by reason alone.

At the end of the morning class, Baoqin sat in her seat and dared not move.She is very unfamiliar with other people, and she is afraid that she will cause difficulties for others by saying something wrong, so she would rather just sit still and be a wooden girl.

But by coincidence, someone came to her place, smiled at her and said, "Sister Xue, do you want to come and play with us?"

Baoqin raised her head and saw that the person who came was very dignified and taller than herself, so she didn't know how to address her for a while.

"My surname is Wei, and my single name is Shu. If the younger sister of the Xue family wants to, just call me Sister Wei."

Baoqin got up quickly and said "Sister Wei".After the two talked about the year and month, Wei Shu turned around and waved to the two people in the distance, "Auntie, sister Lin. Come on, we have an extra sister now."

The two people in the distance came up with a smile, and Lin Daiyu said frankly, "When my sister Xue came here, I thought we were about the same age, so I didn't dare to come up and address her rashly. I had to ask sister Shu to come over and be a vanguard first. Please don't be offended by my sister Xue."

Only then did Baoqin suddenly realize that Sister Wei Shu came here for this purpose, and this Sister Lin just happened to be thinking about it.

"If Sister Lin is willing, why not call me Sister Baoqin." Xue Baoqin's personality is quite similar to that of her brother, and she is equally generous.Seeing that Sister Lin wanted to help her integrate into the school, she also took the initiative to help the other party change her name.

"Then what about me, what about me." Wei Qijun poked her head excitedly, her appearance was a bit more like Wei Yinghong, with a square face and big eyes, making people feel "decent" just by looking at her.

Do I want to call my aunt along with Sister Wei Shu?Baoqin hesitated.Fortunately, Lin Daiyu rescued her in time, "You can come with me and call her Sister Qijun. Don't let her take advantage of it for nothing, and give us a few more nieces for nothing, and don't give us lucky money during the New Year."

"I want Daddy to give it to me too." Wei Qijun muttered.

Baoqin smiled when she heard it, called "Sister Qijun" lightly, and made Wei Qijun beam with joy.The four of them sat together and chatted together.

Through their narration, Xue Baoqin knew that before she entered the school, Xue Biao entrusted Chen Heng to pass a message, asking sister Lin to take good care of her sister.

"Is Sister Lin's elder brother also studying in the academy?" Xue Baoqin was surprised and delighted, and secretly said what a coincidence.The two pairs of brothers and sisters are both studying together, and they are both good friends.

"That's right." Wei Qijun clapped his hands and laughed, "Sister Lin's elder brother is very knowledgeable. I asked many questions, and he answered them more clearly than Teacher Xie."

"My good sister, please don't say a few words." Lin Daiyu couldn't help but tap Wei Qijun's eyebrows, and hurriedly explained to the astonished Baoqin.

"I found a copy of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" before, and Master Xie was not good at it, so I asked my elder brother. When it comes to poetry, calligraphy and painting, my elder brother is far inferior to Master Xie."

Lin Daiyu was worried that Wei Qijun's words would bring unnecessary criticism to her brother, so she explained so hastily.

Xue Baoqin nodded, thinking of her elder brother's comment on the beauty of her classmates, her heart suddenly moved, "Sister Lin's elder brother, can the surname be Chen, with a single name?"

Lin Daiyu was a little surprised that Xue Baoqin could guess, as for the fact that Xue Baoqin knew Chen Heng.As early as in the previous letter, Chen Heng mentioned that Xue Biao invited them to visit his home.

"It's my elder brother." Lin Daiyu nodded with a smile.

"A few days ago, my brother invited them to come to the mansion as guests. He also told me that brother Chen's knowledge is the best among his classmates." Baoqin still wanted to explain.

"Then, sister Baoqin has seen him? What does sister Lin's brother look like?" The young Wei Qijun was just curious, wondering if this man who knew everything would be as powerful as in the drama and able to beat the Dragon King of Ten Seas.

Lin Daiyu also fell silent. For several months, she and Chen Heng had only discussed knowledge in letters.I've never met them before, so I'm naturally a little curious.

In front of his younger sister, it's hard to say that his brother's clothes are ordinary.Xue Baoqin turned her head to think about it, picked up Xue Zhen's compliment and said.

"Neither white nor dark." This is Chen Heng who hasn't been in the field for two months, and has regained his skin color in the academy.

"The eyes are very bright, and the demeanor is also very extraordinary."

Xue Baoqin tried hard to think about vocabulary, but Xue Zhen's original words were: Among all Xue Biao's classmates, only Chen Heng speaks with a neither humble nor overbearing manner, and lives leisurely, and he will be a promising person in the future.

But those were the words of the elders commenting on the younger ones, how could she copy them as they were.

Lin Daiyu smiled and blinked, and continued to remain silent.I just think of the back in the blue shirt when we first met in the Tirenguan.The appearance of my brother in my heart was pieced together bit by bit through sister Baoqin's description.

Just not knowing what to think of, Lin Daiyu suddenly showed a strange smile.

Mr. Wei Qi was not from their family, so he said without any scruples: "Unfortunately, why doesn't he look superficial. If you say it like this, you're like a goose."

"Ouch." Mr. Wei Qi let out a strange cry, and dodged his body, "Sister Lin, why are you scratching people again? Well, well, well, your brother looks like a crane, a white and black crane."

Lin Daiyu is willing to accept there.

Wei Shu and Bao Qin watched the two play around for a while.Baoqin waited until they were tired from playing, and then asked how she could give Xue Biao the pastries entrusted to her by her mother.

"What's so difficult about it?" Wei Qijun leaned forward eagerly again, and took Daiyu's little hand, "Sister Lin, let's go and let the crane go."

"Good sister, let go quickly. My sister is wrong, and you can't tickle me anymore."

…………

…………

After eating at noon, Chen Heng hid in the house to read.He usually only goes to the Tiren Pavilion to make a post at night, and he doesn't predict the situation of the prophet coming to the back hall.

But Chen Heng didn't know about Daiyu's hanging paper cranes. There are people in this room who can jump and fly.Jiang Yuanbai and Qian Dayou didn't know they came back sweaty from playing there, and shouted as soon as they came in.

"Brother Heng, Brother Heng. There is another paper crane on the tree. Go and see if your sister has any questions to test us."

"Brother Jiang wants to do arithmetic again?" Chen Heng put down his book and looked at Jiang Yuanbai who was gulping down water.

"I don't want to do it." Qian Dayou shook his head fearfully, "This question is getting more and more difficult, and some things have not been taught even by Master Jin. I don't know how you learned it, Brother Heng."

Chen Heng couldn't help but think to himself, if you have been to high school, you will naturally be able to.

Getting up and walking out of the dormitory, Chen Heng found the letter in the Tiren Hall, and after reading the contents, he returned to the crowd with a smile, and grabbed Xue Biao who was about to go out.

"Your sister asked someone to send a message, asking you to go to the wooden railing in the back hall to get pastries in the evening."

When Xue Biao heard it, he immediately recalled how the news got into Chen Heng's hands.Hastily smiled at the other party: "It seems that I will trouble Brother Heng in the future."

"It's easy to talk about, remember if there are any good books in the future, just pass them on to me to read." Chen Heng waved his hand, but it was just a matter of little effort, not troublesome.

Xue Biao was about to continue speaking, but Chen Heng had already turned around and came to Xin Suzhao, "Brother Xin, I may have to trouble you today, so send me out of the city again."

Xin Suzhao half leaned on the bed, eating some fruit he got from somewhere, "Going to see your second uncle again?"

"Exactly, I'm going to cause trouble for Brother Xin." Chen Heng couldn't help it, he was too young, it would be better to go to a library in the city during the day.If you want to go out of the city, the master in the academy will never allow it.

Only with Xin Suzhao, who is strong and good at martial arts, can he go out to the city gate during the rest of the night.

Seeing that Chen Heng was talking to Xin Suzhao, Xue Biao stopped talking and went out by himself.

For some reason, the two of them were at odds with each other.But it doesn't hinder Qian Dayou and others getting along with them, and the classmates can only let it go, everyone should not know.

After an afternoon.

Xue Biao came to the wooden fence alone, and before waiting for a long time, he saw two figures walking slowly in the distance.Xue Biao didn't dare to be rude, and immediately turned his back.He didn't turn around until the sound of Baoqin came.

"Brother, this is Sister Lin. I'm new to the school and I'm not familiar with the way. Sister Lin led me for a while. Speaking of which, she's still the younger sister of Brother Chen." Baoqin was holding a food box and talking to her brother through the wooden fence, which was a bit novel and fun for her.

"Sister Laulin is taking care of Sister She." Xue Biao hurriedly bowed, and after Lin Daiyu returned the gift, he smiled again, "If I knew you were coming, I should have brought Brother Heng here too."

Lin Daiyu shook her head and laughed, not surprised, and said, "Brother Xue probably didn't understand, maybe my elder brother thought of this, so he left with an excuse."

Xue Biao thought about it again, and it was the same reason.After all, Chen Heng and his sister are not biological siblings.Why don't he and Baoqin see each other whenever they want, and no one else can tell what's wrong.

However, he was also a little surprised that he didn't understand Chen Heng's thoughts before sister Lin.

"Sister Baoqin, just talk to your brother. I'll wait for you. Come and find me when you're done."

Lin Daiyu left a word, then turned around and walked to the corner of the back hall.It just so happened that she was in a position where she could see the peach trees in the distance as long as she shifted her gaze a little.

The evening wind blows slowly, and pairs of paper cranes dance wildly.Looking at them, I thought of sister Baoqin's sentence describing Chen Heng.Lin Daiyu herself laughed and said, "Not white and not dark, with bright eyes and extraordinary demeanor. The more Sister Qijun talks, the more she looks like a crane."

Knowing that Daiyu was waiting for her, Baoqin only chatted with Xue Biao a few words, and immediately came to find her sister Lin.As soon as he came over, he saw Daiyu laughing alone, and couldn't help asking curiously, "Did Sister Lin think of something funny?"

Lin Daiyu took her hand and said with a smile: "I just thought of King Luo Bin's Chanting Goose, and sister Qi Jun said that my elder brother looks like a crane. I thought it was very funny, so I wrote a poem."

Baoqin blinked, wanting to see how this elder sister led poetry to Bixiao.

Lin Daiyu's eyes, over the Baoqin, fell on the paper crane in the wind.She whispered softly: "Crane Crane Crane, a guest in the blue sky. Where the dots are left blank, Su Zi is also calm."

Listening to Daiyu's poem, Baoqin couldn't help clapping her hands.Knowing that the other party's poem is to tease my brother.I also recalled in my mind when I first met Chen Heng, the way he stood in front of his classmates and saluted his parents.He also smiled and said, "Sister Lin wrote it really well. After reading it, and then thinking about the appearance of Brother Chen, it's really apt."

Lin Daiyu shook her head and laughed. Although she has a high talent in poetry, she still likes the Four Books and Five Classics in her heart.

The two walked hand in hand for a while.But Xue Baoqin stopped suddenly, and said: "Sister Lin, listening to your poem, I couldn't help thinking of one just now, please read it to you."

The two had the same temperament and hit it off right away, and the relationship between Chen Heng and Xue Biao laid the foundation.Lin Daiyu had no reason to agree, and waved Baoqin's hand, "Sister, don't hide your secrets, and read it quickly."

Xue Baoqin was not shy either, she only paused slightly, and then chanted: "Ying Xiaochen is a couple in the dust, and I haven't met after brushing my clothes. The voice heard Jiu Gaoyuan, and I'm at Yungui again."

Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she stared at Baoqin as she stared at Baoqin, half of her face flushed slightly.

"Sister Lin has been watching what I do."

"Sister's writing is really good. My sister only hates that she is not a man."

　This can be considered two in one, right, forget it, forget it.Ask for votes, ask for votes confidently on Monday.Book friends, don't forget about my seedling.The storm cries.
