The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 157
Looking at Xue Baochai who was busy around her, Jia Jing said apologetically: "Today is the imperial court, so I have to get up earlier, but you are tired and you will get up early to suffer from the cold!"

"It's just to wake up early and wait on Brother San to change your clothes. What's the matter with that!"

Xue Baochai adjusted the neckline for Jia Jing, and said happily: "Our family is already very good. I heard that it is like those houses with strict rules. Every day, there are some morning and evening routines. That is the real toss. !"

When Jia Jing heard this, she pretended to be surprised and said with a smile: "It turns out that our quiet and elegant sister Xue also has something to complain about!"

Xue Baochai finally buckled the jade belt for Jia Jing, then raised her head to look at Jia Jing, and said with a smile, "Who in the world doesn't have three or two annoying things? Isn't it normal to complain?"

After that, he smiled lightly.

Looking at the charming and bright smile in front of her, Jia Jing couldn't help but lowered her head and pecked lightly on it.

……

Being suddenly attacked by Jia Jing, Xue Baochai's complexion turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Oh, it's early in the morning, and it's not serious there again!"

Shy and annoyed, he pushed Jia Jing away, and stared at Jia Jing with watery almond eyes, "If you do this again, let's see if I want to talk to you!"

"Can't help it, can't help it!"

Seeing that Xue Baochai was about to get angry, Jia Jing hurried over, took her into her arms lightly, apologized, and said: "It's my fault, but just now it was just because of love, I can't help it for a while, I will definitely live well in the future Be careful, never do it again!"

Saying that, Jia Jing saw the chiming bell over there, and suddenly realized that it is only the beginning of Yin Shi, how can it be regarded as dawn?

Dang even pretended: "That's not right, isn't it only the fifth watch, and it's not yet dawn! So it shouldn't be considered early in the morning!"

After some gags.

Xue Baochai couldn't help laughing at being teased by Jia Jing's rambunctiousness, and naturally she couldn't get angry anymore.

……

After a while, Xue Baochai suddenly realized that Jia Jing had hugged her in her arms without her knowing it.

Pushing Jia Jing away in a hurry, Xue Baochai said: "It's getting late, you go to court quickly, but don't miss the hour!"

Jia Jing smiled and nodded, then adjusted her court clothes, ready to go to court.

Before leaving, he instructed again: "You wake up so early in the morning, if you feel sleepy, just go and catch up on sleep later!"

Hearing Jia Jing's concern, Xue Baochai was quite happy in his heart.

Can't help laughing: "I'm not a child anymore, I can take care of myself! If I'm sleepy, I will know how to catch up on sleep, so don't worry!"

When Jia Jing heard this, she hurriedly packed her things and rushed to court.

………………

When Jia Jing hurried all the way to the front of the palace gate, she saw the gathered officials with smiles on their faces.

Everyone gathered in groups of three or four, talking about their plans for a year-end vacation in a few days.

In a few words, many people have even made appointments for dinner in advance...

At the gate of the palace, it was extremely lively for a while!

Looking at the lively scene at the gate of the palace, Jia Jing couldn't help laughing secretly:

"It seems that no matter where they are, the pursuit of holidays by migrant workers is always eternal!"

……

Great meeting.

In the Golden Palace, Hongde's last court meeting in seven years, the content was as procrastinating as ever...

The biggest difference between today's court meeting and the previous ones is that Emperor Hongde told everyone about the events of the year.

Well, all the civil and military officials mentioned are a bit big-headed!

Jia Jing was speechless, this is not the way to change her family's image in the hearts of the officials, and to be eager to build relationships!

Big failure!
……

After the court was over, Jia Jing was walking back when he was stopped by Duke Wei from behind.

"Marquis Zhaowu, walk slowly!"

Jia Jing turned her head and saw that it was Wei Guogong Xu Yao, she couldn't help asking with a smile: "Does the old Duke have something to tell you?"

Xu Yao said: "Is there anything I can tell you? It's not just seeing you walking and telling you to wait!"

Afterwards, Xu Yao stepped forward quickly and asked in a low voice, "Why did I hear that you fought against the Supreme Emperor a while ago?"

Hearing this, Jia Jing couldn't help but said speechlessly: "Your news is also well-informed! There is nothing you don't know!"

Seeing that Jia Jing admitted, Xu Yao followed up and asked, "Then why did you stand up?"

Jia Jing kept silent.

Immediately afterwards, he gave Wei Guogong another half-smile.

Jia Jing said: "Isn't it a bit unkind for the old Duke to take advantage of people's unpreparedness and come here to make flattering remarks?"

Xu Yao, the Duke of Wei, smiled "hehe" and stopped talking.

………………

When Jia Jing returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already Shen Shi.

Because today is the Grand Court Meeting, when Jia Jing went out early in the morning, she just drank a couple of mouthfuls of porridge, filled her stomach, and went to the palace.

By this time, the hungry chest was already sticking to the back.

After entering the door, Jia Jing came straight to the backyard.

In the distance, I saw Ying'er walking towards Xue Baochai's room with two maids carrying two dishes.

Jia Jing couldn't help laughing and said: "It's just right, let's go to Baochai's for a meal!"

After saying that, he changed his pace and went to Xue Baochai's yard.

……

As soon as she entered Xue Baochai's room, Jia Jing felt that it was different from when she left in the morning.

Looking carefully, it turns out that at some point in the room, there were a few more pots of flowers in full bloom.

Through the bead curtain, Jia Jing looked at the plain blue curtain inside, which was also replaced with a warm light orange color.

With just these two changes, most of the desertedness in Xue Baochai's room faded in an instant.

Jia Jing watched with a smile on his lips.

"These potted flowers are really good!"

……

Hearing Jia Jing's praise, Xue Baochai couldn't help but put a smile on his face, and said: "These pots are all brought from the greenhouse, thinking about raising a few pots of flowers can also add some vitality to the house. !

I just don't know if they can survive in the house in such a cold weather! "

"There is a stove in the room. Although the temperature is not as good as in the conservatory, it should be enough to support these flowers!" Jia Jing laughed and said, "Don't mention it, there are a few more pots of flowers in this room, and it will feel a little different immediately!"

Jia Jing asked again: "I saw you setting up vegetables from a long distance before. Could it be that you have never eaten at noon?"

Xue Baochai blushed, and said: "Where are those things? It's just that after you went to court in the morning, I went back to catch up on sleep. No, I just woke up from hunger!"

Jia Jing couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

……

"So, you and Daiyu never went back to see Aunt Xue?" Jia Jing asked.

"As soon as I opened my eyes, it was already afternoon! How can I go back to see my mother?"

Xue Baochai rolled her eyes at Jia Jing, and said, "Daiyu has already sent someone to inform her that she has changed the date of her return to tomorrow!"

　My mind went blank when I updated yesterday. I wrote these two chapters at 4 o'clock today. When I revised them, I was really sleepy. I didn't notice some, please forgive me!I'll fix it again when I get up!
　　The third update should be at three or four in the afternoon, I guess I won't be able to get up in the morning...

　　Thanks for watching!
