Red Mansion Beijingwang

Chapter 123
Inside the gazebo.

Shui Rong rubbed the head of the sick young man in front of him, and said in a clear voice: "I keep my word, so I won't lie to you. When you have established a career, no one will respect you, but if you are incompetent, As a mediocre person, no wonder others stand by and watch."

Jia Huan felt the gentle caress on his head. For some reason, his heart actually calmed down. He responded softly and immediately sat down.

Tanchun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. She was also a little worried about her brother-in-law's anger earlier. Although she despised Jia Huan, he was still her brother. Now she could listen to some words so as not to offend him. My brother-in-law is not happy, and he will have his own destiny in the future.

After temporarily dealing with Jia Huan, Shui Rong's eyes turned to the "little master" again. Jia Lan's father died young, and he was translucent in Jia's house, which was somewhat similar to Jia Huan. In the original work, Jia Lan and Jia Huan were the uncle and nephew. This is probably the reason why they are so close, but the difference is that Jialan has a sensible widowed mother, so there is no illness in her heart, but she behaves precociously because of it.

Seeing Jia Lan's slightly nervous look, Shui Rong said softly: "Brother Lan, you and Brother Huan are both my reading companions, so I will treat them equally."

Jia Lan came forward and bowed seriously and said yes, which saved Shui Xiong's words.

At this time, Li Wan, who had been quiet and silent, moved his apricot eyes slightly and said softly: "Your Majesty, Brother Lan has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child. It's just that he is still young, so he will inevitably have some naughty things. Then I will have to worry about it, Your Majesty."

When Shui Rong heard the words, he looked at the elegant young woman in front of him. Li Wanzhen was quiet and indifferent and never liked to join in the fun. Now he came to the palace with Mrs. Wang just because Jia Lan was going to study with the palace, and he felt a little uneasy.

Listening to his words, he first said that Jia Lan was well-behaved and sensible, but his words also pointed out that he was still young, which was somewhat interesting.

"It's normal for children to be naughty. Sister-in-law Zhu, just relax."

Are you a child? No matter how mature you are, your playful temperament will not change. As long as you are not that kind of unlucky "naughty kid", there is no need to care about it. And Jialan obviously does not belong to this category, so naturally it doesn't matter. question.

Li Wan saw that her thoughts were exposed, and her calm jade face was covered with a touch of undetectable rouge. However, after listening to the prince's words, she finally relaxed some of her thoughts. As a person studying "outside", she was afraid of herself. Lange'er made a mistake and was ridiculed.

Shui Rong raised his eyes and glanced at Li Wan. This pretty widow was originally a good-looking woman. Unfortunately, since her husband died early and women were observing the festival, the young Li Wan no longer mentioned the embroidered curtains and mandarin duck quilt, leaving only the kindness in the mirror. The heart is as gray as a dead wood. As the saying goes, the appearance comes from the heart, it is inevitable that it has lost some color. There is a faint light flowing in the beautiful eyes at the moment, which actually adds a bit of charm.

Now that the matter of Jia Huan and Jia Lan was settled, Shui Rong immediately said nothing and turned to look at Daiyu who lowered her eyes and said nothing. Seeing that her jade face had returned to white, she said with a smile: "Sister Lin, remember what I said earlier I told you to focus on recuperation, but my sister doesn’t seem to listen to her brother-in-law!"

After just two steps in the garden, his legs became weak. Daiyu's body seemed to be weaker than he thought. If this happened more violently, wouldn't it be that her skeleton would fall apart? It's really like "being as sick as Xizi is better than three points."

After hearing this, Daiyu raised her eyes and glanced at her brother-in-law in front of her. There seemed to be blame in her tone, but she didn't care. Instead, she felt warm in her heart. Her mind was sensitive and she could still distinguish between good and bad. Her brother-in-law said before When she rested and settled down, although she didn't say it clearly, she also guessed that it was probably because of her, and there was clearly good intentions hidden in it.

Lifting up the handkerchief, Daiyu said in a clear voice: "I'm sorry for you, brother-in-law. It's just that my illness is an old one and it won't get better in a while. I will pay more attention to it in the future."

Shui Rong raised his brows slightly when he heard this. Daiyu was speaking lightly at the moment. It was just the truth, but she could do so much, not to mention she was always a sensitive and suspicious person.

Facing this delicate girl who has the aura of heaven and earth, it is not surprising that she feels pity for her. After a deep groan, Shui Rong said pointedly: "Sister Lin, the so-called life is full of grass and trees, and in the blink of an eye, everything is springing up. Everything is fleeting and fleeting. "The grass and trees have their true intentions, so why ask for beauty?" My sister can just be herself, so there is no need to care too much."

For Daiyu, she was orphaned since she was a child and had to live under the protection of others in Jia's house. The environment in Jia's house was dirty and snobbish, which made her "self-respecting and cautious". This made Daiyu, who was insecure, care too much about other people's opinions. She has developed a sensitive and suspicious character, including Daiyu's most famous "little temper", her harsh words, unforgiving words, and pickiness in everything. These are all to hide her very strong self-esteem.

It is also true that Daiyu thought too much. In this way, how could she recover from the illness? Her body was dragged down day by day, leading to fatigue and cowardice, and she eventually collapsed and died. result.

Daiyu's heart trembled slightly when she heard this, her starry eyes sparkling, was her brother-in-law trying to persuade her?
She had only met her brother-in-law a few times, so how could he know her temperament? She still remembered that her brother-in-law advised her not to overthink things last time. She should have guessed from this since her condition was not improving now.

It's just that "the grass and trees have their own hearts, why ask for beauty", which makes Daiyu's heart flutter. Her brother-in-law understands her.

After pondering for a moment, Daiyu blinked her eyes, stared at Shuirong, and said in a clear voice: "Brother-in-law, are you saying that I am petty?"

When Shui Rong heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. This wasn't to persuade her not to care about other people's opinions. How could it mean that she was being petty?This Daiyu's brain circuit really left Shui Rong speechless.

After groaning, Shui Rong said with a smile: "I've heard that Sister Lin has a narrow mouth. Today I learned it personally. She really deserves her reputation."

Daiyu turned her starry eyes slightly when she heard this, covered her mouth with the hand holding the handkerchief and laughed. She didn't feel disgusted with the narrow words of the brother-in-law in front of her. She spoke cautiously like others, but it made people think She couldn't laugh.

At this time, the maid returned with her harp in hand. Seeing the people who were sitting in the pavilion to rest, she walked over quickly and saluted: "Your Majesty, the concubine said that there will be a banquet at the "Xiaoqiao Family". The princess asked the servant to inform the prince. Be there later.”

Shui Rong nodded slightly when he heard the words. It seemed that the concubine, Yuan Chun and the others had visited the Huxin Pavilion and simply settled there.

Looking at Daiyu, whose face had returned to a fair complexion, Shui Rong stood up and said, "It's almost time to rest. Let's go there. There is a pavilion in the middle of the lake at the "Xiaoqiao Family" with a nice view. I will show you later." The scenery of the "Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake" is unique in the palace gardens. I took this group of brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law to appreciate the characteristics of the palace and open their eyes.

When everyone saw this, they all stood up without saying a word.

A few people strolled on the gravel path. Tanchun and Daiyu held hands and chatted quietly. Li Wan took Jialan and walked slowly while Jia Huan walked beside them.

The water was dissolved at the end, which was quite pleasant. Looking at Baochai, who was slightly alone in front of him, I couldn't help but feel something in my heart. It is said that Baochai is a good talker, but today he talks a lot less and spends most of his time quietly. Listening to her, she sounded like the gentle and silent second sister.

After groaning, Shui Rong moved closer, and a strange fragrance came to his nose. It should be the smell of the legendary Lengxiang Pills.

Baochai noticed the strange movement around her and knew that the prince was approaching. Her heart trembled involuntarily, her hands gently tightened the handkerchief, and her lotus steps slowed down.

Shui Rong didn't realize he was there and said warmly: "Sister Bao, I see you are not very interested, but you think the scenery in the garden is not suitable?"

When Baochai heard this, her almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and she glanced sideways at Shui Rong beside her. There was a hint of resentment in her eyes. The reason why she was not very interested was not because of the young man in front of her. He had obviously hinted to her before, It disturbed her heart, but he
However, Baochai wanted to ask, but she couldn't speak according to her temper.

Baochai sighed softly and replied: "The scenery of the palace is elegant and beautiful. It is refreshing to look at it."

Shui Rong looked at the elegant girl and asked, "I remember that Sister Bao came to Beijing to be selected for the palace. Now that the draft has passed, what are Sister Bao's plans next?"

Baochai's almond-shaped eyes moved slightly when she heard this. She had previously informed the prince about her failure in the draft. Why was she mentioning this now? Could it be
After pondering for a moment, Baochai's pink lips twitched, a blush appeared on her face as white as snow, her almond-shaped eyes slightly lowered and she said, "I don't know very well either."

Shui Rong couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Although Baochai didn't know it clearly, in fact Shui Rong knew very well. If Baochai failed in the draft, Aunt Xue would make other arrangements, and the target of the arrangement would be the big-faced Bao.

To be honest, the Xue family is too powerful, which makes people look down upon if you take a closer look. However, the current society is a feudal dynasty, and women rely on men for survival. If the orphans and widowed mothers were not more powerful, how could they survive alone? They couldn't help themselves.

Baochai's power belongs to the powerful, but as a daughter, she is also a first-class lovely child, just like Daiyu, who looks like a fairy. Not only is her "bitter" and "little temper" also her shortcomings, but also Xiang Yun, his words are sharp and his temper is too straightforward.

There is no perfect person in the world, and everyone has shortcomings. Among the twelve golden hairpins, each one has his own shortcomings, but the flaws cannot be concealed. It cannot be denied that they are all excellent daughters.

Shui Rong's mention of the palace draft now was nothing more than a reminder of Shui Rong's hint when the Xue family's mother and daughter apologized. Obviously, Shui Rong could see the charm in Baochai's expression.

In the eyes of others, Shui Rong, both in terms of identity and character, is the favorite object of the "boudoir girl". How could Baochai, who has the famous aphorism "Good wind relies on strength, send me to the blue clouds", not be attracted to her.

Even the ruthless little sister will be tempted when she meets the man she likes.

In Shui Rong's eyes, Baochai was beautiful and ranked among the best among the many golden hairpins. Now that he had met him, he would not turn him away. He let Baochai wander outside and finally agreed to the words "Golden Hairpin Snow." Buried inside".

Instead of doing this, it would be better to keep him in the palace and let the two of them like each other.

Previously, due to Yuanchun, it was difficult to explain the water dissolution. Now it is time to give Baochai some thought and not to let go.

After groaning, Shui Rong whispered: "If my sister feels that the palace is relaxing and refreshing, she might as well live in the palace in the future."

Baochai's heart trembled when she heard this. With her status, how could she live in the palace? If she wanted to live there, she could only...
Thinking of this, Baochai lowered her head slightly, her bright apricot eyes were as full as water. The jade hand hidden in her sleeve gently twisted the handkerchief, but did not respond.

As expected, her brother-in-law was hinting to her
Seeing this, Shui Rong understood clearly, and there was no need to say anything else. After all, he and Yuan Chun were only married for a short time, so he couldn't reveal his intention to miss his sister-in-law. At least he had to coax the big house into good shape first.

When the red flag does not fall down at home and the colorful flags flutter outside, this is the highest state of life.

Maybe this is one of the shortcomings of water-soluble, too philanthropic
Not long after, several people arrived at the Huxin Pavilion and walked in. They saw Princess Beijing, Mrs. Wang, Yuanchun and Yingchun sitting at the table. Baoyu, who was joining in the fun, also sat next to Yuanchun, and Xiangyun. Sitting next to Princess Beijing and watching, she laughed like a silver bell from time to time.

This scene left Shui Rong speechless. How could he start a card game with just a little effort? It can only be said that the woman in the back house is addicted to cards.
