xiang ling playing grass game-凯发k8官网

on baoyu's birthday the young ladies held a drinking party in which they composed poems and much fun. their service maids started a game of their own.

xiang ling, xue fan's concubine（妾，情妇） , collected some flower and grass and began a grass game with the other. "this one is bodhisattva（菩萨） willow," one said. and another one would say, "i have arhat（罗汉） pine."

suddenly, dou guan said she had a sisters flower. xiang ling said, "i have a husband and-wife flower." "never heard of that," the previous girl protested. "why," xiang ling explained. "one flower on a stem is called lan, and several flower on a stem make hui. two on one stem, one up and one down, is a brother flower, and two flowers side is certainly a ¹ one." the other girl, however, did not easily give up. laughing, she challenged, "well, then if one flower is big and the other one small, then it's a father and son flower; and if two flowers face different ways it's probably an enemies flower. is that rather? xue fan is gone for over half a year. i guess because you miss him you made up that husband and wife flower."

blushed, xiang ling rushed up meaning to pinch（捏） the sharp-tongued girl, who laughed and begged for the other's help. at the sight of the girls' laughing, ² and punching each other in a friendly manner.
