The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 156
In the room, Jia Jing heard the bursts of laughter outside, and couldn't help coming out of the room curiously.

"What are you laughing about? So lively?"

Hearing Jia Jing's question, Lin Daiyu told the story about the parrot calling the snow geese to add water to her, and Jia Jing couldn't help laughing.

Laughed for a while.

Seeing the sunset, Lin Daiyu asked again: "Brother Jing, do you have any dishes you want to eat tonight?"

"I can eat anything, I don't pick anything!"

After all, Jia Jing asked curiously: "Why did you ask this today?"

Lin Dai smiled and said, "It's nothing, just pondering, asking the kitchen to make more dishes you like..."

……

The Jade Rabbit ascends to the east, and the lanterns come on.

After dinner, Jia Jing, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai sat there to rest.

After deliberating for a while, Lin Daiyu first said, "Brother Jing, I have something to discuss with you."

When Jia Jing heard this, she smiled and said, "Let me just say it. If you show courteousness for no reason, there must be something wrong! Then tell me, what advice do you want to ask me?"

Lin Daiyu took Xue Baochai's hand next to her, and smiled at Jia Jing: "I thought, let's ask Baochai to be the housekeeper with me tomorrow, and we can always relax together.

Although the population of our mansion is not comparable to that of Rongguo Mansion next door, there are more than two hundred people in the upper and lower places.After such a day, these people always have ten or eight things to worry about every day, and they are all messy, and they don't have a clue to make a plan.

You also know that I always like to be quiet. When I am in charge of the Hou Mansion these days, I often feel troubled!
Now it happens that Baochai is here, and these things are what she is good at, so I thought, it would be easier for the two of us to house the house together..."

……

Jia Jing said: "I don't know what a big deal! What else do you want to ask me for an idea!
Then the two of you will be housekeepers together, and there are people on the left and right who can discuss it, and it happens that Baochai can also do some things, so you won't feel bored! "

Hearing what Jia Jing said, both Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai looked happy.

Seeing the smiling faces of the two of them, Jia Jing said again: "It just so happens that I have two things to tell you today!"

When the two of them focused their attention, Jia Jing continued: "The first thing is that the end of the year is approaching. I heard from several officials on the inspector's side that my father-in-law should return to Beijing to report on his duties at the end of the year."

Before she finished speaking, she heard Lin Daiyu exclaim softly, her face full of surprise.

Not long after Jia Jing got married, Lin Ruhai went out to inspect again under the emperor's order.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Daiyu and Lin Ruhai hadn't seen each other for nearly a year!

Jia Jing continued: "The second thing is that I went to Aunt Xue's place today, she missed you both very much, and asked me when I could ask you to go back and sit down, I agreed , said that tomorrow I will call you over."

Hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the two women couldn't help but get even bigger.

……

into the night.

In Xue Baochai's room.

Unlike Lin Daiyu's room, where there are many calligraphy and painting books and various decorations, Xue Baochai's room is extremely empty.

In the whole room, only behind the main seat, on the table against the wall, there is an earthen vase on the left, with a few wintersweet branches broken from the garden during the day.

Next to it is a two-foot-high western chime clock. As the pendulum below it swings back and forth, the sound of "tick-tick-tick" can be clearly heard in the quiet room.

As for the far right, it is the delicate and small diorama that Jia Jing gave her back then.

The clock is placed in the middle, the bottle is placed on the left, and the mirror is placed on the right. These three things are taken from the meaning of "lifelong peace".

In addition, there are no antique decorations in the room, only a sand lamp placed on the bookshelf and a few small clay figures, which are the only playthings in the room.

……

Leaning on the pillow, Jia Jing sat on the bed, looked at the plain decorations in Xue Baochai's room, and then at the plain blue curtains on the bed, suddenly smiled and said: "Your room is really drab and deserted, why don't you start over again tomorrow?" Decorate it?!"

Beside the dressing table, Xue Baochai, dressed in pajamas, was being served by Yinger. She untied her hair and took off all the hair ornaments and jewelry.

Hearing Jia Jing's words, Xue Baochai said with a smile: "I don't think it's deserted, the room is more clean and spacious, but it can make people feel more peaceful and natural. Isn't that good?"

Let Yinger comb her hair, Xue Baochai turned her body to Jia Jing's side again, and said: "But you also want to live in this room, since you think it's too plain, then decorate something! "

Jia Jing stopped Xue Baochai's words, and said: "That's what I said, why bother? The barracks are cleaner than yours, and I live well too? As long as you live comfortably, then Stronger than anything!"

Hearing this, Xue Baochai couldn't help laughing and said, "You're always a talker, and you're sure to please people!"

Jia Jing also laughed, and asked: "Then I wonder if Baochai can be favored?"

Hearing Jia Jing's blatant words, Xue Baochai couldn't help but blush even though she had been married for several months.

Ying'er, who was combing her hair behind Xue Baochai, heard Jia Jing's words, and knew that if she didn't go out at this time, she would be too blind to see.

So, after combing Xue Baochai's hair hastily, Ying'er hurriedly left.

Seeing this, Jia Jing praised, "You maidservant, you are quite clever!"

At this time, the redness on Xue Baochai's face did not fade away, and seeing that Jia Jing had changed the subject as if nothing had happened, she couldn't help but spit: "You are a stern person during the day, but at night, you start to be serious. stand up!"

"Isn't that bad?" Jia Jing asked with a smile.

"..."

With a chuckle, Jia Jing stretched out her hand to embrace Xue Baochai who had already walked to the bed, and then blew out the lamp from a distance.

In the hazy moonlight, a good night's dream.

……

In the seventh year of Hongde, the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Look forward to the great dynasty.

Just halfway through the fifth watch, Jia Jing woke up from her sleep.

Looking at the dim light outside the window, Jia Jing sighed and got ready to wash and change.

Jia Jing looked at the beauty in front of her, her jet-black and soft hair scattered on the pillow, and a delicate face with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, she was resting on Jia Jing's shoulder, sleeping peacefully with her eyes closed.

With a slight smile on his face, Jia Jing looked at Xue Baochai who was sleeping soundly for a while.

Knowing that it was getting late, Jia Jing gently removed the snow-white arms wrapped around her body, and carefully moved Xue Baochai's head to the pillow, and then quietly got up.

Just after taking two steps, Xue Baochai woke up from her sleep.

Asked, "What time is it?"

Jia Jing smiled and said: "It's just after five o'clock, and it's still early in the morning, so you can sleep a little longer!"

"It's okay, I'll get up first and serve to change the court clothes!"

Saying that, Xue Baochai put on another dress over the pajamas, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and came to serve Jia Jing to change the court clothes.
