Red Mansion Beijingwang

Yingchun courtyard.

In the courtyard, the tall and plump Siqi was directing a group of little girls. Suddenly he saw a figure slowly approaching. His eyes lit up and he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "I have seen the prince."

The visitor is Shui Rong. Since he promised to welcome the Spring Festival and celebrate it, he will naturally not break his promise.

This time, a large group of people came to Rongguo Duke's Mansion. Yuan Chun stayed in Rongqing Hall to accompany Jia Mu and others to talk. Tan Chun and Jia Huan asked their siblings to go see Aunt Zhao first, and Jia Lan With the pretty widow, Shui Rong, who had nothing to do, took the lead to the Yingchun courtyard under the guidance of the maid.

By the way, there are also the You sisters. The two sisters stayed with Yuanchun, waiting for their eldest sister.

Facing Si Qi's greetings, Shui Rong nodded slightly, and vaguely heard the laughter of a warbler coming from the house. With a smile on his gentle face, he asked: "Siqi, are all the sisters here?"

As the eldest maid of my sister-in-law, Shui Rong naturally knows her.

Among the many maids of my sister-in-law, Si Qi has an inconspicuous appearance, which means she looks pretty. However, she is tall and strong, and it would be impossible not to pay attention to her. After all, most of the daughters' families are petite, and few people as tall as Si Qi can match her. What's important is that Si Qi's mind is so broad that it's so staggering that it's hard not to notice.

Siqi is a son of the Jia family, his grandmother is Mrs.

In the "small kitchen's request for egg custard incident" in the original work, Siqi also had the confidence to dare to make a fuss in the kitchen.

What should I say about this girl? As a maid, she actually regards herself as the "Vice Lady" in other people's words. She has a typical wealthy heart, two snobbish eyes, and a bold and aggressive personality.

However, she is bold and aggressive, and her loyalty to Yingchun is unquestionable. She has worried a lot about this cowardly second girl. Based on this alone, she is a good maid.

Or you can also say, "A good idea is worth a thousand words."

Hearing this, Si Qi said with a smile: "Miss Bao, Miss Lin, and Miss Yun came early in the morning. Not long after, Second Master Bao and Fourth Miss also came. They are all in the house now."

Today is her girl's haircut gift, so the good sisters naturally come over to congratulate her, and she is also busy preparing fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts for the girls to chat with.

Hearing the words, Shui Rong nodded and walked in. When he passed Siqi, his eyes unconsciously fell on the overly conspicuous and proud figure. Everywhere he looked was blocked by high mountains.

I'm afraid I can really play like a ball.

Looking at the young man's back, Si Qi blinked with slightly red cheeks.

The prince seemed to be looking at her penis just now.

There was a lot of laughter in the room. When everyone saw Shui Rong, their eyes lit up and they stood up to greet her. Only Baoyu lowered his eyebrows and sighed inwardly.

The brother-in-law came, and the sister's eyes were no longer focused on her.

Yingchunlian, who was sitting among the sisters, stepped forward and said, "Brother-in-law is here."

Shui Rong looked at the gentle and amiable sister-in-law in front of him, said some words of blessing, then took out a book wrapped in red cloth from his pocket and handed it over.

Yingchun looked at the book in the young man's hand with full eyes. She still remembered that her brother-in-law said that she would look for the only copy of chess from the palace, so she kept looking forward to it. Now that she saw the shape of the package, there was no doubt that it belonged to someone, and she didn't know who it was.

Pursing her pink lips, Yingchun resisted the throbbing in her heart, stretched out her hand to take it, bowed gracefully, and said softly: "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Shui Rong looked at this shy girl and knew that she was obsessed with chess. He thought she was very anxious. With a smile on her lips, she said, "If you don't open it and take a look, I won't let you down."

Although Yingchun was dull, he was not a stupid person. He couldn't hear the boy's joking words. His cheeks were slightly red, and he said "hmm" and lifted the red cloth with trembling hands.

"Song version of "Wangyou Qingyue Collection"

Seeing the true face in the book, Yingchun couldn't help but exclaimed, and Su subconsciously covered her open pink lips with her hands, astonished.

Not only to welcome the spring, people like Baochai and Daiyu all know the art of chess and know the value of "Wangyou Qingle Ji". This is a famous book written by the predecessors about Go written by Li Yimin, the chess official of the Royal Academy of the Southern Song Dynasty, and passed down through the generations. The chess games and scores were collected and sorted into a relatively systematic work.

Generally speaking, the skill level of Go is only seventeen, but the "Sun Ce Zhao Lv Fan's Game Situation" in the Song Dynasty's "Wangyou Qingyue Ji" has nineteen moves, which is very rare for people who love chess.

Shui Rong looked at Yingchun's astonished expression and smiled without saying a word. He loved chess, and this gift as a gift for hair extensions definitely represented his brother-in-law's feelings. The girl must have been deeply imprinted on her brother-in-law's heart.

After coming back to her senses, Yingchun hurriedly held up the book and said, "Brother-in-law, this is too valuable. You'd better take it back."

If it was just an ordinary gift, it would be fine. She would not dare to accept such a precious thing.

Shui Rong's eyes fell on the girl's reluctant bright eyes, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, he stretched out his hand to take back the book, and said leisurely: "That's right, the second sister is getting a hairpin gift today, and it seems stingy for a brother-in-law to give a book as a gift. It's strange for the second sister. My sister doesn’t like it.”

Yingchun blushed when she heard this, thinking that her brother-in-law had misunderstood, so she hurriedly explained: "Brother-in-law, I don't dislike it, it's just..."

Halfway through the words, Shui Rong asked in reply: "That means you like it. If you like it, why don't you accept it? But the second sister has other visions?"

"Pfft."

Xiang Yun, who was always lively, couldn't help but burst into laughter. She was eccentric and had no appearance of a girl. Daiyu, who was originally weak, couldn't help laughing. Even Baochai covered her mouth and started laughing.

They all saw that Shui Rong was teasing Yingchun, and everyone laughed, even the maids were no exception. Yingchun's fat face was as red as the clouds. She balled up her embroidered handkerchief with her white hands, lowered her head, and spat in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, you are bullying me."

Bully? Is this called bullying? I'm afraid you don't know the bullying methods of your brother-in-law, who is your eldest sister. Well, this is my sister-in-law, so don't talk nonsense.

But then again, even if Yingchun is shy and annoyed, she still looks timid and soft. If it were Tanchun, her big clear eyes would glare at you "hardly", as if she was torturing your soul, such as Daiyu, I will pierce you with my willow eyes, and then say a few words to you, and like Baochai, who is gentle, courteous and thrifty, at least I will raise my eyes to sneer at you.

On the other hand, Yingchun is a complete doormat. He doesn’t even say a word when he is really being bullied. He doesn’t know if Yingchun can endure it even if he is whipped.

With a chuckle, Shui Rongfu handed the book over again and said with a smile: "Second sister, don't be polite to your brother-in-law, just accept it!"

Hearing the words, Yingchun looked at the young man's warm expression, her heart trembled slightly, she pursed her pink lips, stretched out her hand to hold the book back, her eyes were burning, and she obviously couldn't put it down.

This is my brother-in-law's wish. If I don't accept it, I won't be letting my brother-in-law down.

Shui Rong didn't care at all, he walked towards the other sisters, said hello, and sat down.

Xiangyun was a lively person, so he came over, blinked at the young man with clear eyes, and asked innocently: "Brother-in-law, why are you here so early today?"

It was still early now, so there was no problem for them sisters to be in the house together, but Shui Rong actually came so early.

Hearing this, Shui Rong explained: "On my second sister's big day, I took a special leave and came over as soon as I had nothing to do."

As the boss of the department, what happened to Xiu Mu occasionally?

Yingchun put the books away, and when she heard the young man's words, her jade face was slightly startled. She didn't expect that her brother-in-law actually took leave of absence to congratulate her. This attention really made her heart flutter.

I thought she was unpleasant, but I never thought her brother-in-law loved her.

Daiyu's willow eyebrows were slightly raised, and her watery willow eyes glanced at the plump girl with her head lowered. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Brother is anxious to see my sister. Sister Bao, you think so or not." .”

When Baochai heard this, he raised his bright apricot eyes and rolled his eyes at Daiyu. Not only did this sister not talk about the second sister, but he also came to ask her specifically. Wasn't he referring to her with a gun and a stick? Is this sister Lin? As always, I love teasing her.

Shui Rong obviously understood. His eyes fell on the elf girl and he said with a smile: "Zi'er hit the nail on the head. It's been a while since I've seen Mei'er. I was really worried about her, so I came early."

When Daiyu heard her good brother say that he was thinking about her, she couldn't help but feel the care from her elder brother. She felt ashamed and happy at the same time.

When she thought about it, Daiyu knew that this was the young man who was helping Sister Bao out of the siege. She pouted her little cherry mouth slightly, glanced at the young man with her bright willow eyes, and said leisurely: "I know very well that my brother has a "sister" in his heart. , but just after seeing "sister", I forgot about "sister"."

Okay, this is Qian'er, it's right.

Xiangyun didn't think much about it. After all, she didn't know about Shuirong and Baochai. She thought the sister in Daiyu's mouth was referring to her second sister, so she said nonchalantly: "Brother-in-law, it's still early now. The theater troupe It’s not healed there yet, why don’t we have some fun first to pass the time.”

A group of people just sit and chat for a long time, which is boring. For Xiangyun, having fun is the real thing.

Baochai looked at the young man with her bright almond eyes and said with a smile: "This troupe is from Suzhou. They are best at Kun Opera. If my brother-in-law is interested, I can order some discounts later."

You can finally talk to your brother-in-law.

Shui Rong was a little surprised when he heard this and said: "The theater troupe in Suzhou is really rare."

Although Shui Rong knew that the Duke's Mansion would organize a grand ceremony for welcoming the Spring Festival and hair-raising ceremony because of him, he did not expect that a theater troupe from Suzhou would be invited.

Seemingly understanding Shui Rong's surprise, Baochai explained softly and considerately: "This Suzhou troupe was originally used by the daughter-in-law of Brother Rong of Dongfu to relieve her boredom. When she learned that the second girl was expecting a baby, she asked them to come and sing a few times."

Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, isn't that her sweet cousin.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong asked, "Brother Rong's wife will also come?"

Baochai didn't realize he was there, nodded his head and replied, "Yes."

Shui Rong was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that his sweet cousin would come. Speaking of which, he hadn't seen his cousin since the day he married Yuan Chun. He didn't know how his cousin was doing after marrying into Duke Ning's house.

With the power of the Zhen family, they will definitely not be as prestige as the You family.

After groaning, Shui Rong said, "The second sister is the biggest today. Let's follow the arrangements of the second sister."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. After all, the birthday of the Spring Festival should really be given to the birthday boy.

When Yingchun saw that everyone's eyes were on her, she couldn't help but lower her head, pursed her pink lips, and said softly: "How about let's play chess!"
