Story:
The Begonia Poetry Society in the Grand View Garden was re-established. With Wang Xifeng serving as the 'Superintendent of the Society,' there were no worries about the food and drink for their gatherings.
After everyone finished composing and reciting poems, Xiren came to call Baoyu, dressed in thin clothes. Seeing this, Wang Xifeng quickly instructed Ping'er to give Xiren a cotton-padded jacket and a fur coat.
Everyone commented that Wang Xifeng was used to being extravagant and was indeed very generous.
