Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Queen Mother Sheep spoke, and Xue Baobao could only bow and thank her.

Baozhuang took a few steps forward and handed the flowerpot in his hand to Xue Baobao.

Xue Baobao stretched out his hand to take it and bowed.

Baozhuang suddenly shouted, "You are Commander Yu's adopted sister, Miss Xue, you are like a handful of crystal clear snow on the Tianshan Mountains, and you live up to your surname."

Xue Baobao, "..."

Do you believe that I can let you live up to your noble surname and call you Feng Xiaoxiaoxi Yi Shuihan?
"The poor monk sees that the girl is very close to Buddhism. I wonder if she is interested in joining my Buddhist sect?"

Xue Baobao, "...".

Baozhuang has entered the palace and become a prince. Are you so happy?
Queen Mother Yang didn't sound like it, so she quickly interrupted, "Xiao Qi, since you know this snake mint, why didn't you say anything?"

Baozhu put his hands together and saluted, "When I return to my mother, the poor monk doesn't like to visit the garden. I have never been here. Today, if my mother didn't order it, the poor monk will not come here."

Queen Mother Sheep, "..."

Suddenly, I understood Miss Xue's mood just now.

Lin Daiyu suddenly realized that the various differences between the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother were actually because of the Seventh Prince!

The Queen Mother even specially arranged for the Seventh Prince to wait here to see her!
Lin Daiyu's pretty face turned red and she felt uncomfortable all over. She took half a step back and quietly grabbed Xue Baobao's sleeve. Xue Baobao patted her hand comfortingly.

"Besides, this snake mint only attracts insects when the flowers fall and bear fruit, but it's no problem now."

Queen Mother Sheep forced a smile and said, "Since you are here, come and meet a few girls, so as not to cause people to talk about our royal family's lack of etiquette."

In fact, she didn't want to ask for etiquette or anything else. She just asked people not to suspect that her son was a fool.

Queen Mother Yang introduced them one by one, "These two are also the foster sisters of Commander Yu. This is Miss Zhen, and this is Miss Lin. Miss Lin is the daughter of Shaofu Lin."

Baozhan put his hands together and saluted, "The two girls are polite. The poor monk thinks that the two girls are very close to Buddhism. I wonder if you are interested in joining my Buddhist door?"

Everyone, "..."

Lin Daiyu quietly took another half step back, and Queen Sheep smiled and said, "Xiao Qi is still so naughty, so please don't mind, two girls.

Xiao Qi, since you recognize this snake mint, I will leave this matter to you, and then help me see if there is anything wrong with the gardens in the palace."

Baozhuang looked at Zhen Yinglian and Lin Daiyu persistently, "the two girls haven't answered the poor monk's words yet."

Zhen Yinglian looked at Xue Baobao, and then at Lin Daiyu, who was full of resistance all over her body, and leaned forward to return the gift, "Nobles love you so much, but women and sisters of the people still have a high court to be filial to, and they dare not say anything about entering Buddhism."

Baozhuang sighed regretfully. Queen Mother Yang was afraid that he would say some nonsense such as "It won't be too late to join my Buddhist sect after your Gao Tang dies", so she rushed ahead of him and said, "Okay, Xiao Qi, go quickly." , don’t delay”.

Baozhuang bowed and left with a smile. Queen Mother Yang was obviously very upset. She reluctantly walked around for a while, then ordered Queen Yang and Jia Yuanchun to take a few girls to dinner, and she left first.

Queen Sheep warmly entertained several girls to have lunch in Kunning Palace, and then ordered people to send them out of the palace.

Yu Xin had already been waiting at Long Zongmen, escorted them back to Xue Mansion, and then hurried to work.

After entering the Weeping Flower Gate, Lin Daiyu pulled Xue Baobao's sleeve and said urgently, "Sister, did the Queen Mother ask us to enter the palace today to see the Seventh Prince?"

Xue Baobao smiled, "Most likely, and the Queen Mother is very fond of our sister Lin!

Well, the Emperor must be very pleased with it, otherwise he wouldn’t have allowed the Queen Mother to invite our sister Lin into the palace.”

Lin Daiyu was so angry that she pinched her, "You are still laughing! If the Queen Mother doesn't like me, forget it. If she does, don't even think about seeing me in the future. You will kowtow to me when you see me! I don't want to be taken by them. !”

Xue Baobao was immediately moved and patted her comfortingly, "Daiyu, when you grow up, you will get married sooner or later. Even if you are not the seventh prince, we can't see each other often."

Lin Daiyu was furious, "I don't want to get married! I want to marry you!"

Xue Baobao sighed, "I'm married, and you can't see me every day."

would not!
You marry the eldest brother, and I will keep my wife, and we can still be the same as we are now!
Lin Daiyu stamped her feet, turned around and left, "I won't tell you, I'm going home."

Xue Baobao knew that she would definitely go back to Lin Ruhai for advice, and hurriedly sent someone to deliver it.

If the Supreme Emperor and Queen Mother Yang really fall in love with Lin Daiyu as the seventh prince's concubine, neither she nor Lin Ruhai nor even Baozhuan can stop them. This is a feudal dynasty——

Zhen Yinglian's marriage, Lin Daiyu's marriage, and his own marriage. Xue Baobao was annoyed by the word "marriage" on the screen recently, so he decided to make a delicious meal to relax and reward himself.

Reward yourself, it must be junk food!

Xue Baobao first mixed the sauce, salt, sugar, sesame powder, five-spice powder, cumin powder, Sichuan pepper powder... plus a lot of chili powder!

After preparing the sauce, Xue Baobao took a beef knife and started slicing and chopping, while the asafoetida was responsible for skewering.

Xue Baobao was very fast, and the asafoetida did not hesitate to give in. He quickly made several large plates of skewers.

Xue Baobao ordered the oil pan to be burned and asked Nan Xing to come over.

Nanxing usually stays in the outer courtyard. When he came over, the first pot of skewers was coming out.

Nan Xing's eyes suddenly lit up and he swallowed hard, "Girl, what is this? I have never eaten it before."

"Fried skewers, come and try it."

"Thank you girl!"

Nan Xing still remembered the polite words and took the tray handed to him by Xue Baobao. With a clear goal, he picked up a bunch of chicken and started eating.

The fried chicken was tender and crispy, and the sauce was fragrant and spicy. Nan Xing breathed out after eating, but couldn't stop at all, shouting that it was delicious while eating.

Xue Baobao looked at it, and his heart was filled with words.

Such a beautiful Southern Star is like the beautiful Shennong Mountain, a beautiful treasure building, how can one let go of it?

Perhaps, she will eventually become farther and farther away from Baozhuang, and may even become strangers to each other, but Nanxing, she should still be able to keep him.

Even in her long life, she will always have the opportunity to visit Shennong Mountain again.

Xue Baobao unconsciously raised the corners of his lips as he thought about it, and picked up a skewer of chicken and put it in his mouth. Well, you can't live up to the delicious food!
……

……

It is difficult for Yi Chi Tian to survive without a large piece of snake mint, so Xue Baobao made the Yi Chi Tian plant into a fragrant bead overnight.

Find the best-quality tourmaline bracelets, ruby ​​bracelets, and white jade bodhi bracelets from your small treasury, add the fragrant beads, and string them again, wrapping them exactly three times around your wrist.

Early the next morning, Xue Baobao personally carried the food box to Yu Xin and gave the string of beads to Yu Xin.

Yu Xin rolled up his sleeves, revealing a white jade-like wrist. Against the background of the clear green, extreme red, and pure white, it was even more beautiful and made people want to take a bite.

Although Yu Xin talks about masculinity every day, secretly he is very proud of his beauty and likes these accessories and clothes that can add a touch of luster to his beauty.

He works in the Zhenfu Department, and the clothes and belts he usually wears have fixed styles and specifications, so he can only work on small accessories.

But he was too embarrassed to fiddle with purses, necklaces, bracelets and other recognized "female" accessories, so the only things he could fiddle with were hairpins, hair crowns and hairbands.

Xue Baobao, who knows his details, said that not counting the hairbands, hair crowns, hairpins, etc. that are never the same in his cabinet 360-[-] days a year, there are also hairbands, hairpins, etc. hidden in her space that will not be the same in ten years. There are hair crowns and hairpins!
Sure enough, although Yu Xin said he was very disgusted, the expression on his face couldn't be more satisfied.

Well, although he was embarrassed to wear the bracelet, since it was a gift from his sister, he had to consider it separately.

"Hey, how did this ugly bead get in? It's not green or gray, it's so ugly."

Xue Baobao slapped his hand away, "Don't touch it, it's a bead to avoid snake venom.

With it, no matter whether it is a venomous or non-venomous snake, it will not dare to come within three feet of you."

Yu Xin expressed doubts, "So awesome?"

"It's so cool! Wear it well and don't leave it."

Yu Xin immediately put his sleeves back and raised his chin, "How could I leave such a good thing? I'm not stupid!" Xue Baobao smiled and briefly talked about entering the palace yesterday.

Yu Xin was so angry that he yelled, "That Baozhuang is pretending to be crazy again!"

Xue Baobao was worried, "What if the Emperor and Queen Mother Yang fall in love with Sister Lin?"

"Uncle Lin won't be willing, but when the time comes, it won't work if Uncle Lin doesn't want to."

Xue Baobao was silent, and Yu Xin snorted coldly, "I told you not to go to any Dharma gathering. Now you know how powerful it is, right?"

Xue Baobao also hummed, "Do you think that with my status, the Supreme Emperor will fall in love with me? Yesterday, the Queen Mother Sheep didn't even look at Sister Zhen or me!"

Yu Xin hummed again, "That's because they are short-sighted. Even if my sister is a beggar, she is better than the daughter of a high-ranking official!"

As he spoke, Yu Xin put his right hand on the handle of the Xiuchun Dao, held it firmly, and spoke forcefully, "Don't worry, baby, I will definitely earn you the title of a top-notch Duke's wife in the future!"
No one dares to look down on you. Even if Daiyu becomes a princess, you don’t have to see her kneel down! "

Xue Baobao, "..."

Then thank you very much!
……

……

After Yu Xin left, Jia Lian sent Wang Xifeng, mother and daughter Qiaojie to Xue Mansion.

Xue Baobao's hairpin ceremony was just three days later, and Mrs. Xue invited Wang Xifeng to take charge.

Wang Xifeng looked at the gift list and immediately sent people to chase Jia Lian back.

Yu Xin is very popular now. Except for a few people who think they are noble, almost all the prominent people in Beijing have given him gifts.

A woman can't control the affairs of the outer courtyard.

Mrs. Xue discussed with her, "Originally we were not planning to make a big deal, but many people sent people to bring gifts and then left without returning them.

Brother Xin said that he would simply invite everyone to watch the ceremony. Firstly, he would not offend anyone, and secondly, it would be honorable for Sister Bao.

According to Sister Bao's wishes, Yinglian and Daiyu happened to be among the admirers, and the guest invited her third aunt.

Her third uncle and third aunt valued her and came to the capital early with their children.

They also have a house in the capital, and they sent a letter, and they will come to stay at the house later today to help."

Just as he was talking, the maid came to report that Mr. Xue San and Mrs. Xue San had arrived.

Mr. Xue San and Mrs. Xue San are both capable people, and they have a capable steward and his wife.

Wang Xifeng was overjoyed and made arrangements in an orderly manner.

……

……

In the blink of an eye, Xue Baobao's haircut ceremony arrived, and the momentum was definitely much greater than her college entrance examination appreciation banquet and birthday party.

Baby Xue was dragged up by Mrs. Xue and Wang Xifeng to put on makeup early in the morning. Zhen Yinglian and Lin Daiyu had already washed themselves up and came to her yard with Mrs. Xue to put on makeup with her.

Various people she knew and didn't know were walking back and forth in her room, and some were chirping in her ears, telling her this or that.

Xue Baobao said that at least one thing about this haircut ceremony is the same as the college entrance examination teacher appreciation banquet and birthday party: using her pain to satisfy Yu Xin's love for his sister and vanity.

Just as I was thinking about it, Ying'er outside smiled and shouted, "Uncle and Second Master are here."

Most of the people who were able to enter her boudoir so early were family members. Except for two young girls from the same family who avoided it, the others stood up to greet her.

After greetings and greetings, Yu Xin put down the box in his hand and opened it. The bright treasure light immediately reflected the colorful rainbow light.

When he took it out, it turned out to be a diamond crown with countless large and small diamonds inlaid on it. A huge pigeon blood ruby ​​on the top was inlaid in the center like a finishing touch.

The women in the room all let out a burst of exclamation at the same time. They actually didn't know what a crown was.

Diamond jewelry is also rare in this era, but the appreciation and understanding of beauty are common.

Yu Xin took out the crown, took a few steps forward, stuck the crown in front of Xue Baobao's bun with his own hands, and whispered, "May my sister be worry-free, rich and prosperous."

Xue Baobao looked up at him, his nose and eyes were sore.

In her previous life, she also appeared at her birthday party wearing the exact same diamond hair crown.

A lifetime later, in this Red Mansion world where diamond mining and cutting technology was very backward, I don’t know how much effort Yu Xin put into making this exact same hair crown for her.

brother, brother...

Xue Baobao stood up and bowed his head in salute, "Thank you, big brother, for taking the trouble."

Thank you for protecting me life after life, thank you for doting on me life after life..."

……

……

In the imperial garden, all the large tracts of snake mint have been removed, leaving only a bare black land. The treasure building stands in a pavilion not far away and looks at the black land quietly.

He was already standing there before dawn, and now, half an hour has passed.

In fact, it didn't take too long, but at this time the masters of each palace got the news.

The Queen Mother Sheep could not hold back her anger the most. She had been staring at Geng Lu since she had been staying in the building for more than a quarter of an hour. After half an hour, the palace people actually said that the building was still there blowing the wind in a daze. The Queen Mother Sheep could not sit still at all. He hurried over.

The arrival of Queen Mother Sheep woke up Baozhuang who was in a daze. He habitually raised his smile and raised his palms in salute.

Queen Mother Sheep was immediately heartbroken. She did not dare to say anything, let alone scold her. She asked lovingly, "What is Xiaoqi doing here?"

Baozhuang answered honestly, "I want to think about something."

"Then, what is Xiaoqi thinking?"

"Think of Shennong Mountain".

Baozhuang lowered his head and counted the rosary beads slowly, "Queen Mother, this poor monk doesn't like the palace. I want to go back to Shennong Mountain."

Queen Mother Sheep, "..."

She is now afraid of two things: first, she is afraid that Xiao Qi will call herself a poor monk to her, and second, she is afraid that Xiao Qi will mention Shennong Mountain. This sentence will take care of everything.

Queen Mother Sheep was anxious, helpless, and distressed. She wanted to put Baozhuan into her arms, but looking at his solemn appearance, she felt inexplicably reluctant.

She knew that she owed him 17 years of love and companionship, and the time and distance of 17 years was not something she could easily cross.

Queen Mother Yang asked cautiously, "Xiao Qi, why don't you like the palace and want to go back to Shennong Mountain?"

Baozhuang opened his eyes slightly, as if he was very surprised that she asked such a question.

The Queen Mother Yang hesitated and said reluctantly, "The Queen Mother, your father and brother are all doing it for your own good."

Baozhu raised his palms and shouted the Buddha's name, "The Queen Mother is right."

I don't want to talk to her anymore.

Queen Mother Sheep took a deep breath and tried her best to soften her voice, "Xiao Qi, if you really don't want the princess, it's okay for us to take it slow."

Baozhuang said firmly, "I don't want Miss Lin to be the princess."

Queen Mother Sheep did not expect that he would actually say these words, and she was immediately overjoyed, "Then who do you want to be the princess?"
