Red Mansion Beijingwang

"Your Majesty, four girls, let's drink tea."

Miaoyu brought up two cups of tea. The one for Xichun was an exquisite cup with a small colorful lid, while the one for Shuixun was still the green jade cup in the shape of a square bucket.

Speaking of which, this green jade bucket was originally used by Miaoyu to have tea, but when it was dissolved in water, it was served to him without any mistakes.

How about she... engrave "Only water-soluble" on it?

Taking the green jade bucket, he looked at the tea soup with watery eyes. The tea buds were blooming and the veins of the leaves were green. He took a sip and then put it aside without saying a word.

Miaoyu's cold eyes saw that the young man was silent and his long eyelashes were trembling slightly. He took a sip of the tea cup and then asked casually: "What do you think of this tea, Your Majesty?"

Shui Rong looked calm when he heard the words, and said slowly: "The fresh air is fragrant, and the fragrance will linger on the lips and teeth after drinking, and the aftertaste will be endless."

After hearing this, Miaoyu lowered her eyes and said nothing, but a surge of joy surged in her heart, and the corners of her soft lips raised an imperceptible arc.

It's no wonder that she carefully prepared the tea and it was quite tasteful.

Xichun's beautiful eyes looked at Miaoyu, with a hint of doubt in her eyebrows, and she secretly said, "Master Miaoyu, are you laughing?"

She is still young, but due to the environment she lives in, she is quite sensitive to some small micro-expressions. Although Miaoyu has a cold appearance, she still sees something different.

However, Xichun didn't think much about it and sipped the tea quietly.

Shui Rong's eyes fell on the silent little Loli Xichun, and suddenly asked: "What do the fourth sisters do in daily life?"

When Xichun heard this, her little face was slightly startled. She didn't expect that her brother-in-law would ask her about her daily affairs. She pursed her pink lips and whispered: "On weekdays, I mostly spend time with my second sister and the others. When I have free time, I do it. When I was painting, I would come to Master Tai's place occasionally."

After Shui Rong heard this, he started to think about it. From Xichun's words, he found that she has not yet developed a withdrawn and indifferent temperament. It's just that she is still young and is most receptive to other people's thoughts. If she is in constant contact with Miaoyu, she may not be able to do it in the end. It will evolve into a "transcendence" mentality.

Having said that, with Xichun's sensitive mind, it is not easy to give a direct warning to avoid making people think too much. The best option is to subtly change Xichun's temperament.

Of course, this is a delicate job and must be done slowly.

After a deep groan, Shui Rong smiled warmly and said, "Brother-in-law, I want to take the exam for the fourth sister of the school. Is it okay?"

Xichun stared at Shui Rong, clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves, and asked softly: "Brother-in-law, what are you taking the exam for?"

Although Xichun had little contact with Shui Rong, her brother-in-law had always been easy-going and tolerant, so he should not make things difficult for her.

Shui Rong took a sip from the green jade bowl and said with a smile on his lips, "Since the fourth sister is good at painting, I will make a painting of people, flowers, birds, landscapes and plants."

Since you want Young Master Xichun to come look for Miaoyu, then arrange something for her to do.

When Xichun heard this, she blinked her little eyes and looked at her brother-in-law thoughtfully on her beautiful face. She asked her to draw a painting and let her choose the scenery at will. What does this mean?

Could it be that she was too idle and wanted to find something for her to do.

Regardless of what she meant, she understood that her brother-in-law was not trying to make things difficult for her, and her heart warmed slightly, and she said softly: "When will the brother-in-law want him?"

It's just painting, it's not a difficult task, Xichun will not refuse, but she has to ask clearly about the deadline for painting, and she can choose the scenery without scribbling.

Shui Rong stretched out his hand and touched Xichun's little head affectionately again, and said with a smile: "I give you a deadline of one month. When you finish the painting, you can send it to me to see. If the painting is good, my brother-in-law will give you a small vision."

What the little girl's vision can have is nothing more than a reward for her.

Hearing this, Xichun couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled. Her pink face was not as cold as before, but instead showed a lightness similar to her age.

It wasn't a grand masterpiece, and she was given a month to paint. If she wanted to paint, she would have to burn the midnight oil to paint, and she could finish the work tomorrow. If the brother-in-law in front of her wasn't so easy-going and kind, she would have felt it was a humiliation. to her.

And he allowed her a small vision afterwards. Wasn’t it free?

Feeling the big hands stroking her head, Xichun's little face gradually turned pink, her heart couldn't help but ripples, and she nodded her head and gave a soft "hmm".

Miaoyu watched Shuirong treat Xichun affectionately, her face was calm, but something strange flashed through her beautiful eyes. It was like the pampering of her father and brother, which made her, an outsider who had been meditating in Buddhism since childhood, feel a trace of sadness deep in her heart. .

Shui Rong withdrew his hand, drank the tea soup in the green jade bucket, and immediately pushed it to the table. The meaning was self-evident.

Time for a refill.

When Miaoyu saw Shui Rong taking it for granted and acting as if there was no one else around her, she felt irritated for some reason. Liu Ye's thin eyebrows frowned slightly unconsciously and said coldly: "Your Majesty, can you still eat?"

The brother-in-law felt sorry for his sister-in-law and had nothing to say, but he asked her to pour tea without even saying a word. Why did he treat her as a maid?

Shui Rong didn't hear anything strange for a moment. Thinking about what he couldn't eat while drinking tea, he smiled and joked: "It's okay to eat it. Could it be that the master is reluctant to part with it?"

Hearing this, Miaoyu held up a tea cup and poured tea for Shuixun. Her beautiful crystal eyes were filled with sharp light, and she said calmly: "Don't you hear, my lord, that one cup is a treat, two cups is a thirst quencher, and three cups is a thirst quencher." Drinking cattle and donkeys. ""

Shui Rong looked at the filled green jade cup and was speechless for a moment. The tea soup was already poured. If he didn't drink it, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face? If he drank the second cup, he would become the thirsty fool. things.

Xichun looked Miaoyu up and down, her beautiful brows filled with confusion and curiosity. How come the Master Miaoyu in front of him was so indifferent to his previous behavior, and seemed to be a lot more aggressive.

How did your brother-in-law offend Master Miaoyu?

Shuirong was holding the green jade bucket. Seeing that the tea soup was already warm, he drank it all in one gulp. With a smile on his lips, he said: "Tea soup is a thirst-quenching thing. How can we talk about stupid things? Master Tai is a "foreigner" with character. Gao Jie, why are you still sticking to formalities? Isn’t that just arty?”

Miaoyu frowned upon hearing this, and looked at the young man with her crystal bright eyes angrily. Her beautiful jade face was slightly frosty, and the faint hint of joking at the corner of the young man's mouth made people even more irritated.

The insinuation is that as a monk, how could she be so arty? It just implies that she is stick to the world and her six roots are impure.

Seeing that Master Miaoyu did not argue for a moment, Shui Rong's raised corners of his mouth became more and more straight, which meant that deep down in his heart, he already recognized his words. If not, he would have retorted with a master's attitude.

"The clouds may not be empty", this cannot be false.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong placed the green jade bucket on the table, with a slightly regretful look on his face, and said: "Master, although this tea has a delicate fragrance, it is not as light and pure as tea brewed with rain and snow." , I wonder if the master is willing to take out the treasured snow water in the blue and white vat with ghost faces to taste it." Hearing this, Xichun looked slightly surprised and said, "Brother-in-law also knows about this. I told Master Miaoyu before Even if I beg, she won’t let me eat it.”

After hearing this, Shui Rong explained with a smile: "Fourth sister, brother-in-law, I occasionally come to see Master to taste tea and discuss Taoism. I was lucky enough to have it once, but later Master kept it secret and was reluctant to take it out for tasting, which seemed like a pity."

Xichun listened to the words of the water-soluble gun and stick, and looked at Miaoyu to one side, as if waiting for Miaoyu's reaction.

She knew that Miaoyu was withdrawn and unsuitable for the times. Since her brother-in-law came to Miaoyu several times to drink tea and talk about Taoism, and even treated her with some snow water from his collection, he must be someone he admired.

Xichun is still young and won't think about dirty things.

At this moment, Miaoyu frowned and glanced at the young man. She felt angry in her heart. What did she mean by hiding her secrets? This sarcastic and sarcastic talk didn't mean that she was stingy.

With a cold snort in her heart, Miaoyu stood up, clasped her hands together and said, "I have no intention of parting with worldly things. If the prince and the fourth girl like it, I can just go and get it."

With that said, Miaoyu walked away.

Shui Rong couldn't help but feel funny when he saw this. He looked calm and calm, but in fact he was hiding anger. But even if he was angry, he didn't go along with it. In the final analysis, this was tsundere.

Xichun on one side looked at Miaoyu's leaving figure, feeling surprised in her heart. She knew Miaoyu's temperament, and if she didn't want to, she would definitely shirk it, but now she couldn't

I remember that my brother-in-law would occasionally come to have tea and discuss Taoism. I thought that Master Miaoyu had a very happy chat with her brother-in-law, so it was inappropriate for her to stay here.

Thinking of this, Xichun pursed her pink lips and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm going back first."

Shui Rong looked at Xichun in surprise when he heard this, and said softly: "Master took the treasured snow water to make tea, sister, don't you want to taste it?"

Didn't she say that she asked for Miaoyu before, but now she is going to get it to make tea? Why is she leaving? Could it be that she has seen something and wants to avoid suspicion?

No, the conversation between him and Miaoyu was quite satisfactory and generous, how could it make people think wrongly, not to mention how old Xichun was, how could he have such thoughts.

Xichun said with a smile: "My brother-in-law didn't ask me to paint, but I happened to have some inspiration right now."

Xichun would definitely not say anything out of fear of being disturbed.

Shui Rong smiled when he heard this, looked at Xichun with gentle eyes, and said warmly: "I didn't give you a deadline of one month, why are you so impatient? Even if my sister paints for a whole year, my brother-in-law will not blame you."

Listening to the young man's gentle words, Xichun's numb heart rippled. Unconsciously, her eyebrows turned into crescents, and she smiled and said, "It takes a whole year to paint. Brother-in-law, please don't underestimate me."

Shui Rong smiled and said nothing. In the original work, Xichun was ordered to paint the Grand View Garden, but you didn't just ask for a one-year deadline. Now you are boasting about Haikou.

However, Shui Rong didn't care. Compared with the cold little lolita in the past, she felt more agile now, so Shui Rong didn't force it and said with a smile: "Then follow my sister, but make it clear in advance that if the painting dissatisfies my brother-in-law, I won't do it." Small visions.”

Hearing this, Xichun glanced at the young man with bright eyes, whose gentle face and doting tone made her heart throb like she had never felt before.

Could it be that this is the love of "father and brother"?

Imprinting the gentle face of the young man in front of her in her heart, Xichun responded with a smile, then took the maid into the painting and left.

After a while, Miaoyu came in holding a porcelain bowl. Seeing Shui Rong was the only one left in the nunnery, she was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, where are the four girls?"

Shui Rong said casually: "Fourth sister left early because she didn't have the luck."

Miaoyu pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, but she didn't care much. She sat cross-legged on the futon calmly and fiddled with it before making tea and boiling water again.

Shui Rong looked at Master Tai Su holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand, with a calm look on his beautiful jade face, his heart moved slightly, and suddenly said: "Since Master Tai suffered a cold last time, I haven't seen Master Tai for a while, but I'm fine now." ?”

When Miaoyu heard this, she glanced at the young man with her beautiful eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of resentment between her eyebrows.

I also know that it has been a while, but I didn’t show any concern before, so why are you talking about this now?

Pursing her pink lips, Miaoyu said coldly: "I'll be fine the next day. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

It's nothing more than a nightmare syndrome. After the young man's enlightenment, he has become open-minded. But when he thinks of the sweet tea he drank that day, a touch of undetectable rouge inevitably appears on his face.

She didn't know why she drank that cup of tea soup, as if she was in a daze. Fortunately, no one knew about it, otherwise she really wouldn't know how to meet people.

Shui Rong's eyes fell on Miaoyu's clear and beautiful face, and he noticed a slightly different indifference from the past, and smiled: "Oh, I remember that Master is thinking too much, which means that Master's heart is knotted. I don't know who Master is." Knot?"

When Miaoyu heard the words, she unconsciously remembered the scene where she was haunted by nightmares that day. Her cheeks turned slightly red, and her eyes looked at the smiling face of the young man. Her bright eyes shone as if she were naked. , I felt even more ashamed and annoyed.

Biting her pink lips lightly, Miaoyu suppressed the throbbing in her heart and said in a clear voice: "Everything in the secular world disturbs my heart, but a poor nun has already looked away."

Shui Rong looked at Master Tai's increasingly bright expression, smiled knowingly, stretched out his hand to hold Miao Yu's fan hand, looked directly into those crystal bright eyes, and asked: "Monks don't lie, Master Tai should seriously look away. Already?"

He wasn't worried about being abrupt or anything like that. When Miaoyu fell ill last time, the two of them had basically talked about it. It was just that layer of separation that was missing. If they were able to restrain themselves and observe etiquette, and with Shitai's reserve, I'm afraid it would be really bad. The so-called friendship between gentlemen.

After all, when it comes to women, men need to take the initiative.

Miaoyu looked at the hand that was being held with wide-open eyes. Her face was filled with astonishment and her mind was so blank that she didn't react at the first moment. When she did, her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. Hong said angrily: "Let go."

As a holy master, she had never let a man hold her hand. The young man in front of her was really a slut.

Shui Rong didn't hold on. After letting go, he briefly recalled the softness and delicateness and asked, "Master hasn't answered me yet."

Although Miaoyu reprimanded angrily, she did not take her hand back, which already showed her intention. As the saying goes, striking while the iron is hot will not give up halfway.

At this moment, Miao Yufang's heart was trembling, her hands could not stop trembling, and she seemed a little at a loss. When she heard the young man's words and recalled the previous question, her heart skipped a beat, and her white cheeks were slightly warm. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered: "The poor nun is a monk."

When Shui Rong heard this, the smile on his face became fuller, and he stood up and walked towards Miaoyu.

"Monk", this is the last fig leaf (end of chapter)
