King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 210

"Brother Thirteen, what are you whispering?"

The voice from behind made Baochai couldn't help but glared at Zhu Jinghong, then turned around and greeted him into the hall.

"I didn't say anything, I just asked what's for dinner!" Baochai said casually.

However, his words made Zhu Jinghong keenly seize the opportunity, and immediately said: "What are you eating tonight? Is there anything I like?"

"Brother Thirteen, are you going to stay in the palace for dinner again tonight?"

Obviously, Zhu Jinghong's reluctance to leave made even Zhu Yunsheng feel strange.

"Third Sister, what you say is meaningless to me, Thirteenth Brother got a court rod for you, so he can't even eat your meal?"

When he said this, Zhu Jinghong walked up to Baochai again, and the latter took two steps back unconsciously.

Although she has a good impression of Zhu Jinghong, Baochai is also a person who wants face, so she can't stand him being so presumptuous.

After all, there are so many people here!
"That's true...Brother Thirteen, don't you feel hurt!"

Zhu Jinghong said angrily: "Go and get a bite, and you will know whether it hurts or not!"

It's also uncomfortable to say, they were also born by the queen, the three brothers were beaten up since they were young, and Zhu Yunsheng was pampered until they were grown up, and at most they were reprimanded.

Maybe because he felt wronged, Zhu Yunsheng said solemnly: "Brother Thirteen, thank you very much!"

But I saw Zhu Jinghong walking around to the desk, flipping through the book casually and saying, "It's nothing to be grateful for, why don't you do me a favor and ask your sister Bao to teach me how to play chess!"

"Why didn't you invite her yourself?"

Looking at Baochai, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "She is not mine, how can I do it for her?"

This remark was extremely frivolous, upon hearing Baochai's embarrassment, she cursed again in her heart, "Dengtuzi".

However, at the next moment, Zhen Qin walked to the middle, looked at Zhu Jinghong and said, "Master Thirteen, my courtiers can also play chess. If Sister Bao is inconvenient, I can teach you!"

Zhu Jinghong froze in place for a moment, Zhen Qin's words disrupted his train of thought, and he didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

Baochai is also uncomfortable. Seeing that the matter is half-delayed and half-finished, who knows that there will be extraneous problems for Zhenqin.

"This girl won't really take advantage of her!" Baochai worried secretly.

Don't look at how angry she was just now, it was just a disguise to maintain her reserve, which was completely opposite to her real thoughts.

Of course, only people of Zhu Jinghong's status can make Baochai, who thinks highly of himself, look like a child.

Sitting on the chair and picking up the pen, Zhu Jinghong dipped the ink and asked, "Miss Zhen, who is better at chess than Miss Xue?"

"Uh... of course Sister Bao is the stronger one!" Zhen Qin could only answer truthfully.

Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "Then I'd better find Miss Xue!"

This left Zhen Qin with nothing to say, and at the same time she also cheered herself up in her heart, and she will practice chess hard to surpass Baochai in the future.

When that day comes, she will be able to snatch Zhu Jinghong back!

When the room was silent, Zhu Jinghong said while writing: "Sanmei, Miss Xue belongs to you, so you should say something!"

Zhu Yunsheng rolled his eyes and said, "What is my man, I think sooner or later he will become your man!"

What Sanmei said was wonderful... Thinking in his heart, Zhu Jinghong looked at Baochai, whose face was already flushed.

Zhu Yunsheng turned to Baochai, took her hand and said, "Sister Bao, I owe Brother Shisan a favor, so please help me... teach him how to play chess for a few days!"

"Princess, the courtiers are just playing chess, how can they teach others how to play chess!"

At this time, Baochai no longer mentioned whether she would like it or not, but only said that she was not capable enough.

The fact is, if she is not qualified enough, the other two are even less qualified.

"Sister Bao, don't be humble. Brother Thirteen doesn't know anything about chess, and you can teach him casually!" At this time, Zhu Yunsheng did not hesitate to belittle his own brother.

Putting down his pen, Zhu Jinghong got up and walked towards Baochai: "There is nothing else to do, let's start now, Miss Xue... tell me the rules of chess first!"

After saying that, Zhu Jinghong looked at Zhu Yunsheng again: "Third Sister, you should do whatever you need to do, just ask someone to take out the chessboard!"

Has Brother Thirteen changed his gender?Why did you suddenly like playing chess?

Looking at Zhu Jinghong, and then at Baochai, Zhu Yunsheng realized something.

It turns out that what was said in the book is true, a gentleman is a good lady, Brother Thirteen can barely be considered a gentleman, and it is normal to like Sister Bao... Zhu Yunsheng thought to himself.

"Go and get the chessboard, Brother Thirteen, go to the next door, I'm writing here!"

"I can do it!" Zhu Jinghong answered crisply.

After saying that, Zhu Jinghong went to Baochai, cupped his hands and said, "I hope you will give me some advice!"

"Master Thirteen, you're being polite!" Baochai replied flatly, but felt a little flustered.

Her mood was extremely complicated. She wanted to get along with Zhu Jinghong, but she was also worried about the difference between men and women, and she was afraid that people would gossip.

"Please!"

The two came to the next door. Inside was a soft couch with a square table in the middle, on which a chess board was already placed.

Baochai sat down on her own, while Zhu Jinghong sat across from her.

Seeing that Baochai didn't speak, Zhu Jinghong grabbed a handful of chess pieces, showing a slit between his fingers, and let the chess pieces fall back into the jar with a crisp "da da" sound.

"Miss Xue, let's start!"

Realizing that silence would make the atmosphere even more awkward, Baochai could only restrain her shyness, lowered her head slightly and explained: "Master Thirteen, let's start with the rules of chess. The chessboard is all..."

She felt shy, but Zhu Jinghong had no scruples, and stared straight at Baochai at close range, which made Baochai dissatisfied and helpless.

The rules of Go are simple to say, but it is very complicated to actually show the routines. During Baochai's detailed explanation, time flies by.

About half an hour later, the queen who had met with her wife turned back and found Zhu Jinghong who was studying hard.

This is a rare scene, Yang Qingyin couldn't bear to destroy it, so she quietly entered the inner study.

"Mother, please sit down!" Zhu Yunsheng who was writing got up and greeted.

Sitting on a chair beside her, she signaled Zhu Yunsheng to continue writing, and then Yang Qingyin said: "The sun came out from the west today? It's rare to see your thirteenth brother working so hard!"

"Uh... Brother Thirteen seems to be very interested in playing chess!"

"If you are willing to sit down patiently, you can be regarded as growing up!"

The more difficult it was, the more curious Yang Qingyin was, what method did this Baochai use to make her youngest son sit still.

But at the moment next door, Baochai has finished introducing "Tizi", and his voice is already smoking.

"Master Thirteen, you understand!"

Baochai raised her head and met Zhu Jinghong's eyes, forcing her to look away again.

"I probably understand it, but I don't quite understand it. I'm rather stupid. Why don't you tell me again?"

However, this was Baochai's second explanation, which made her suspect that the guy in front of her didn't listen carefully at all.

Baochai immediately said in a bad mood: "Master Thirteen, if you are too stupid, I don't think you should learn to play chess. Wouldn't it be fun to dance with swords and guns every day!"

Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "Then can you teach me? As long as you can teach me, I will learn, it doesn't matter what I learn!"

"you……"

This was obviously to amuse himself, Baochai got up angrily and was about to leave, but was pulled back by Zhu Jinghong.

"Let go, don't let people see!" Baochai was very anxious.

However, at this moment, Yang Jingting appeared outside the room and saw this "unsightly" scene.

Zhu Jinghong had no choice but to let go immediately, and then pretended to say: "Today, I know that chess skills cover everything, Miss Xue is really talented!"

Talented?There is another one in front of you... Yang Jingting couldn't help complaining in her heart.

At this moment, she always felt sore in her heart. This feeling came very suddenly, but when she thought about it carefully, it could be traced.

How could I have this feeling, how is this different from that Qin girl?Yang Jingting cursed herself secretly.

"Sister Ting, why are you here?" Baochai greeted her out.

Yang Jingting immediately replied: "The meal will be passed on soon, and the Empress asked me to inform you!

Zhu Jinghong got up and said, "It's just... I'm just hungry!"
