The red building is so arrogant

chapter 115

Go back and talk about home.

Because of Jiao Shun's special instructions, Xiangling didn't go directly to the Yingchun Courtyard, but waited until the girls gathered in the old lady's room as usual, then hurriedly went there.

Entering the gate of the courtyard, just as she saw a few maidservants holding short-handled forks and hanging birdcages and bird stands under the east corridor, Xiangling hurried forward and asked if Siqi was in the courtyard.

There was a little maid in the room who replied: "Just now I said in the room that I was looking for some chess records, and I asked Sister Siqi to go home and get them - the sisters are all talking in the East Chamber now, Sister Xiangling might as well go inside and wait for a while .”

Xiangling heard the words and had no choice but to run to the East Chamber first.

Originally, I planned to find Ying'er to chat about some personal things first, but I didn't expect to take a look inside. Baochai felt unwell occasionally, so she didn't come to the sisters' tea party today.

Since Baochai didn't come, Ying'er wouldn't be there either.

At this time, Xiren greeted her with a smile, pulled her and said, "Ying'er is not here, sister just sit next to me!"

As he spoke, he forcibly pulled her to his side.

He whispered again: "Yesterday, the second master Bao was in the old man's courtyard and read an article about work-study by your master. You know his heartless temper, so you just forgot about it when you turned around." clean."

"Who would have thought that the master would give another order in the morning to write an article based on it and hand it in, as if he was worried about something—what entertainment does your master have tonight?"

These words were fast and urgent, which made Xiangling a little dazed, innocently widened her watery eyes, and hesitated for a long time before replying: "Whether our master has social relations or not, he never told us. "

"Then when your master comes back, if it's convenient, send someone a letter. Second Master Bao may not want to ask for advice..."

As he was talking, he heard Xiuju from the opposite side laughing: "Sister Xiren whispered again, everyone is waiting for you to tell the news!"

Because only Baoyu House subscribed to newspapers in each courtyard, Xiren must pick up new news and share it with his sisters on regular days.

Because it was covered up by the rumors of welcoming the spring yesterday, no one thought of it for a while.

Now that the rumor has dispelled, she will inevitably be asked to 'broadcast the news' by everyone again.

At this moment, hearing Xiuju's urging, Xiren smiled and said: "I originally wanted to wait for Siqi to come back before continuing, but you don't think about your sister at all, wait until she comes back to see if I won't expose your shortcoming!"

Taking advantage of everyone's laughter, she hurriedly told Xiang Ling what she had said just now, and then, under the urging of her sisters, she vividly talked about yesterday's headlines.

But it was the queen of Qianxiang Kingdom who recently wrote to Emperor Longyuan, expressing that the kindness of the kingdom is hard to repay, and she wished she could come to the capital to be a slave.

It is said that the text in the letter is extremely ambiguous, and there is a metaphor for recommending yourself as a pillow mat.

Although the newspapers didn't know the details, they all made up the color by coincidence.

For a time, Queen Qianxiang, who was originally unknown, surpassed all the oirans in Beijing and became the object of countless people's dreams.

Of course, if the writing is ambiguous, you have to read Chonger's Miscellaneous Essays. Although the above did not dare to directly make a mess of Queen Qianxiang, it used nearly two pages to describe the affairs of a certain scholar and a certain woman from Qianxiang.

The word "fragrance" is deliberately highlighted in the article, and more than ten kinds of wonderful points are listed from the beginning to the end. The reading is detailed and meticulous, almost like seeing it in person.

It's a pity that Baoyu didn't subscribe to Chong Er's essays. What Xiren recounted was only the Xia Bao, Beijing News and the like, which were almost semi-official publications.

Although there are also mentions of Queen Qianxiang's "beautiful crown in the southeast", it is not as good as "all fragrances and wonderful" which makes people daydream.

After hearing Xiren's retelling, everyone inevitably commented on Queen Qianxiang, and wondered whether she was married, whether she also had the Sangong Sixth Court.

Of course, it is also indispensable to praise the monarch as mighty as the sea, which can make foreign rulers fall in love with each other thousands of miles away.

While discussing, Siqi from the outside came in through the curtain, holding a tray of watermelon and scolding with a smile: "I know you conscientious little hoofs, most of you can't wait for me to come back to talk about it - these slices of watermelon are all for me. Bar."

Just as Xiren was about to speak, Xiuju hurried forward to pick it up, and said like a gag, "Is the watermelon grown in the glazed shed ripe? I have to taste it and see if it's different from the usual ones."

When everyone saw this, they all burst into laughter.

Although Siqi didn't know what was going on, but seeing Xiuju's posture, he took advantage of the opportunity to pinch her face.

Then he said with a smile: "It's just a taste, Master Bao didn't think it tasted good, so he had to eat a second piece, otherwise it wouldn't be the turn of us—in fact, the glazed shed last winter I planted melon seedlings in the garden, and it was said that they would grow up in the spring, but I don’t know who crushed the vines.”

"I've heard that too."

Entering the painting, he continued: "It is said that the melon seedlings have been tossed repeatedly, but it seems that someone has rammed them - because of the matter of Grandma Rong, the mess is gone."

Said a few melons.

On the other side, Xiangling also got up to meet him, and Xiuju handed her a piece, but she hurriedly waved her hand to decline, her big watery eyes only circling on Siqi.

Siqi remembered that she was by Jiao Shun's side now, and his complicated expression disappeared for a moment, and then he greeted straightforwardly: "Sister Xiangling, do you have something to say to me? Then let's go for a walk in the courtyard?"

Xiangling nodded obediently, and rushed forward to raise the door curtain again.

The two left the east chamber one by one, and seeing that the little maids in the corridor had gone back to the house, Xiangling wanted to go to the corner to talk.

But as soon as he opened his legs, he was grabbed by Siqi, and reminded with a suppressed voice: "The corridor is full of thieves who are good at learning tongues. Are you trying to say that you can't get up and down with the whole family?"

As he spoke, he led her to the gazebo at the southwest corner, where one sat facing east and the other facing north, making sure that her words would not be overheard.

Xiangling was able to explain why he came here.

"If he has anything to say, just say no, and he sent you to play tricks!"

After Siqi listened, he had a sneer on his lips, but his heart was filled with tenderness. Although there was no rockery under the gazebo, he still couldn't help looking down, as if he had returned to the cave of the past.

After a while, she sighed and said, "Let me think about it before I talk."

In fact, this has already been agreed, as long as you persuade me again...

"Oh."

But Xiangling obviously didn't have such sharp eyesight, so she responded obediently, with her small nose and thin eyebrows frowned, obviously thinking about how to deal with business when she went back.

Siqi was laughed at by her for a while, raised his hand and poked his finger on the rouge mark between her eyebrows, and said angrily: "How can you be so mean, you don't even know how to persuade her."

Only then did Xiangling suddenly realize, and hurriedly said: "Then..."

"Stop doing this and that."

Now that he has made up his mind, Siqi is not that hypocritical, so he simply said: "It's not impossible to see him, but you have to be present."

"what?!"

But Xiangling suddenly misunderstood something, blurting out in surprise, at the same time, his mind was filled with the wonderful scene in the cave for a while, and the image of flying with Yu Chuan'er recently, his palm-sized face seemed to be boiling. It was red and hot, almost bleeding from the center of the brow.

"No, no, no! This, this..."

She waved her small hands wildly, and said in the middle of her mouth: "Why, sister Siqi, also..."

"What's wrong with me?"

Siqi was surprised and said: "What's the matter with you girl? You were confused when you were with Miss Bao before, but it's even more messy when you're with him!"

Although she is also the master who has seen it before, how can Jiao develop so many tricks in just over a month?

Because he couldn't get the point out of asking a few questions, Si Qi simply changed the subject: "Did he make an appointment? But where did he say we're going to meet?"

When it came to the business, Xiangling lost a little bit of embarrassment, and said falteringly: "Say, we will see you at the old place when our master rests on the [-]th of this month."

The old place refers to the rockery and gazebo.

This is also one of the important reasons why Xiangling will be 'misunderstood'.

"Bah~"

And the word 'old place' also provoked Siqi to spat hard, and said with a red face: "I only saw it there once, what old place?"

Having said that, she is self-evident about this 'old place'.
