Red Mansion Beijingwang

Chapter 177 The Four Sisters of the Jia Family
Beijing Palace, Fengyi Pavilion.

Shui Rong came back from the Governor's Mansion and walked into the house. The room was full of pearls and greenery gathered in front of the bookcase, and it was full of laughter and laughter.

Seeing Shui Xun's return, Yuan Chun's starry eyes brightened slightly, leaving a group of sisters to step forward and said softly: "The prince is back."

Everyone looked over and saw the eldest sister's happy lotus steps, and they all smiled knowingly. Baochai's bright apricot eyes also looked over, and she grasped the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, feeling a little confused.

She also wanted to greet him, but...
Shui Rong looked at the plump beauty in front of him and felt comforted in his heart. Who wouldn't want to return home and receive the warm greetings from his wife, especially Yuanchun's slightly raised eyebrows, which reflected his joy at waiting for you to return home.

After a soft response, Shui Rong nodded and said, "Well, I'll be back when I finish my work. What are you doing together?"

Shui Rong didn't have much to do today. Emperor Yongkang had earlier promised to allocate military craftsmen to him to refine firearms, so he went to the Ordnance Bureau and gathered the allocated military craftsmen together to develop firearms full-time. A full-time department without establishment was established.

As he said that, Shui Rong looked at the group of gold hairpins, looking at Xichun, who was like a porcelain doll, standing with a pen in hand, rice paper and several plates of pigmented celadon in front of the desk, and asked: "What are you doing?"

Yuanchun covered his mouth with a smile and replied: "I didn't do anything. It was the fourth sister who was painting, and "everyone" was commenting on it!"

Shui Rong chuckled when he heard this. Although they are all talented people, they can't be called "everyone". It seems that this is a joke made by Xichun who talks loudly.

The four concubines of the Jia family corresponded to "Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting", Yuanchun's qin skills were unparalleled, and they might as well give in to Du Yuejiao, who was "the best in the capital". Chun Jing is good at calligraphy and has strong muscles and strength. Shui Xiang also knows this very well, but he has never seen Xichun's painting skills.

Thinking about this, Shui Rong stepped forward and said, "I want to see the paintings made by my fourth sister."

Hearing this, Xichun's slightly baby-faced face flushed a little, and she said in a crisp voice with some embarrassment: "It's just for fun, brother-in-law, don't laugh at me."

Shui Rong looked at the shy Xichun and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He remembered that in the original work, when copying and inspecting the Grand View Garden, Xichun gritted his teeth and drove away the innocent maid into the painting. He was indifferent to other people's tears and sorrow, which was enough to prove that he was cold-hearted and cold-mouthed. .

Such a cold and ruthless person is now timid, showing an expression that should be expected at her age.

But it’s not surprising if you think about it carefully. Although Jia Xichun is a young lady from the Jia Mansion, she is a girl who is extremely lacking in love and warmth. She lives in Rongguo Mansion, unlike Yingchun, who is Jia’s mother’s granddaughter. Even though she is The concubine is also a young lady from the Rongguo Mansion. Although Jia Xichun is a direct descendant, she is a young lady from the Ningguo Mansion and is also a sojourner in the Rongguo Mansion.

Such a child has been able to observe people's emotions since he was a child and has matured early. Coupled with the indifference between his relatives, Xichun's character is also withdrawn and indifferent.

Xichun is still young at the moment, so her temperament has not yet been completely settled. I still remember that when Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion for the second time, when Jia Mu held a banquet for Grandma Liu in the Grand View Garden, Grandma Liu made a funny move and made the young Xichun coquettishly let her belly be rubbed. , it can be seen that he still has the nature of a child.

However, Shui Rong didn't say much. He lowered his eyes and looked at the scroll, only to see that it was a garden painting. Although the strokes were simple, it looked lifelike, which showed that he still had painting skills.

After groaning, Shui Rong smiled and said, "Fourth sister is talented."

You have the talent, but you still need to improve.

Although this painting is not perfect, for a girl of Xichun's age, it is already good to be able to draw this painting, so it is worthy of praise.

At this time, Yuan Chun took the teacup and brought it up, and said with a smile: "Fourth sister does have painting skills, but this painting is a bit thin. Previously, Miss Yun asked fourth sister to add some extra, which made fourth sister complain. Come on." When they talked about this, everyone covered their mouths and smiled. Xichun's face turned a little red, and her tone was a little coquettish: "I don't know the details of the building, and I don't know how to draw figures. How can Girl Yun come to make things difficult for others. "

Shui Rong glanced at Xiangyun who was covering his mouth and snickering. He was quite amused in his heart. What could he say about the little girl's innocence and liveliness.

Although Xichun is good at painting, she is still young, so she can still be expected to perform at the level of "everyone". Moreover, painting is just a hobby. It can also kill boring time while cultivating one's sentiments. Strive for excellence.

Taking a sip of the fragrant tea, Shui Rong said to Xiangyun, "By the way, Little Pony is ready, and I've fulfilled my promise to you."

Shui Rong had promised Xiangyun to get some ponies earlier, but he had forgotten it before and reminded him a few days ago, so he sent someone to buy them. Now all the ponies have entered the palace's stables.

Xiangyun was shocked when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Brother-in-law, is it true? Don't coax me."

Baochai, Daiyu and Xichun: "???"

Tanchun knew that they didn't know the situation, so he explained softly, and the three of them suddenly realized that it was Xiangyun who was causing trouble.

Hearing this, Shui Rong smiled and said, "What am I trying to do to coax you? I've prepared all the horse gear and everything. When I have free time, I'll take you to the martial arts field and teach you how to ride a horse."

Xiang Yun was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. He moved closer, holding Shui Rong's arm with Su's hand, and said coquettishly, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Shui Rong smiled knowingly. Xiangyun, the sister-in-law, leaned half of her buttocks over her. How could he stop leaning on her?

After groaning, Shui Rong looked at Tanchun and the others, and said in a friendly tone: "How many little ponies are there? Can the third sister also learn from it?"

Tan Chun's heart moved when he heard this. He looked up at Shui Rong with his big bright eyes, nodded lightly and said, "I listen to my brother-in-law."

Earlier, when Xiangyun brought up the subject of horse riding, Tanchun was a little moved, but she couldn't express it well. Now that her brother-in-law had spoken, she naturally wanted to learn it, and she didn't know how to ride a horse. If she wanted to learn to ride a horse, her brother-in-law wouldn't be required. teach,
Shui Rong nodded lightly when he heard the words. In Shui Rong's opinion, among the sisters in front of him, Tanchun is the most suitable to learn horse riding. She has a heroic spirit. If she puts on red armor and gallops
Without thinking too much, Shui Rong's eyes turned to Baochai and the others, and said with a smile: "If Sister Bao, Fourth Sister, and Sister Lin like it, you can also follow suit."

Not to mention Baochai and Xichun, Daiyu's delicate figure would make even a small pony fall apart from the shock. But the words had already been spoken, how could Daiyu be left alone.

When Daiyu heard this, her pretty jade face was slightly startled, and her willow eyes blinked. What did the brother-in-law's pause mean?
At this time, Yuanchun said angrily: "One Xiangyun is not enough, but he has brought the third girl with him, and now he is dragging the fourth sister and the others with him. How can anyone in my daughter's family learn to ride a horse?"

Shui Rong didn't take it seriously when he heard this. Yuanchun was a typical good wife and mother, so she naturally abided by the so-called women's virtues, so she smiled and said, "What's the point? My daughter's family can also learn to ride horses to keep fit, and she has learned how to do it." Let’s go horseback riding, and when spring comes next year, we can also go on a horseback riding trip.”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Yuanchun and others brightened slightly, and even Daiyu was yearning for it. For their daughter's family, it was not easy to travel on weekdays, let alone horseback riding.

Shui Rong saw Yuan Chun's expression, smiled knowingly, and said softly: "If Yuan Chun wants to learn, I will have someone prepare an adult foal."

Yuanchun was originally yearning for it, but after listening to the prince's words, his eyebrows slightly raised
