Red Mansion Beijingwang

Chapter 293 Baochai: Could it be a mandarin duck bath?

After a meal of venison barbecue, Shui Rong led the others and walked slowly around to play.

There are many beautiful mountains, covered by forests, birds singing and flowers fragrant, famous and unknown wild flowers of various colors vying for beauty, streams gurgling in the valleys, and birds chirping crisp and sweet. It makes people relax and concentrate in the high mountains and ridges, temporarily forgetting all the troubles of the mortal world.

In front, Chaidai, Baoyu, Xiangyun, and Sanchun looked at the beauty everywhere, commented on it, and were immersed in the mountain scenery.

From behind, Shui Rong led a group of guards and followed them step by step, but did not participate in it. They were all acting as guards, allowing the golden hairpins who were confined to the back house to have a good time.

A Dream of Red Mansions is a half-step history of vicissitudes. The golden hairpins in the original work met a miserable end, which is regrettable. But now seeing the happy appearance of the golden hairpins makes people feel relieved.

They were already outstanding daughters, so why did they end up in such a tragic end? They should be laughing as freely as they are now.

After a while, Baochai fell one step behind, looked at the young man with a bright face, and said softly: "Brother-in-law, how can you be silent and find it boring?"

Everyone was talking about everything, but Shui Rong was aloof from the world and seemed unwilling to participate. I guess he found it boring, but it was just because of the friendship.

Shui Rong looked at the girl's concerned face and sighed slightly in his heart. After all, he was a considerate Baochai who knew the warmth and cold. Even when he went out to play, he was still in his mind.

Just how to put it, just as Baochai said, although Shui Rong thinks it is a good thing for Jinchai and others to have fun, he does feel bored. He is not a casual and childish person like Baoyu, who likes to laugh and play in the rouge pile. If he was hanging out with Rouge Dui, he would not only be laughing and playing around, but he would also be playing with a group of little girls, and he would also have to follow their wishes in everything. He was indeed a little bored.

It's not that I'm disgusted, it's probably the feeling of a bunch of kids.

Of course, that cannot be said.

Shui Rong met Baochai's gaze, thought for a while, and said slowly: "I focused on admiring the majesty of the mountains and neglected my sister. Please don't be offended."

When Baochai heard this, his bright almond eyes blinked, thinking about the young man's words, with a hint of suspicion between his brows.

At this time, I saw my brother-in-law's eyes lingering on them, and I didn't see him admiring the mountain scenery. This lame excuse may have hurt the hearts of the sisters.

The gentle and quiet Baochai naturally would not think of exposing the boy's excuse. Her almond-shaped eyes flashed, and she said softly with lowered eyebrows: "By the way, I told my mother about the Xue family's relocation earlier. She said she wanted to I’ll discuss this with my brother-in-law, but I don’t know when he will be free.”

This time Baochai is not only concerned about Shui Rong, but also for the Xue family's affairs.

Shui Rong understood what he said. Last time he and Baochai mentioned the matter of letting the Xue family move to the capital and settle next to the Prince's Palace in Beijing. It seems that on the way to Qingxu Temple, Baochai discussed this matter with Aunt Xue, but The Xue family is rooted in Jinling, and relocation is of great importance, so Aunt Xue needs to consider it carefully.

Or maybe the Xue family needs to clarify their attitude towards Shui Xiong, so as not to end up in an embarrassing situation when they move to the capital.

Looking at Baochai's somewhat nervous face, Shui Rong said with a smile: "I guess the mother-in-law wants to see her son-in-law. This is what should be done. I will go look for my mother-in-law when I get back later."

The Xue family's move to the capital was originally a trivial matter. For Baochai's sake, they should take care of the first and second things. After all, the Xue family has a simple relationship. How can an orphan and a widower cause trouble?

When Baochai heard the words, her heart trembled, two blushes appeared on her snowy jade cheeks, and a pair of sparkling apricot eyes gave the young man a look of shame, her brows filled with shyness.

What a mother-in-law, she is still a young lady. Well, she has the body of a teenager, so it doesn’t count.

After a moment of shyness, Baochai came back to her senses, and a bitterness surged in her heart. Logically speaking, as a person who had not yet had a name, she would not be the mother-in-law. Even if she had a name, given her background, As far as I'm concerned, she's just a first-class concubine, not even a mother-in-law, unless

In fact, Baochai wanted to ask about Shui Xiong's identity, but if he took the initiative to speak, it would inevitably be like asking for help. He would be annoying for nothing, so he simply kept silent. With Shui Xiong's character, how could he still prostitute her for nothing? .

After gathering her thoughts, Baochai looked at the young man with her Fengze face raised, her eyebrows curved, her bright almond eyes full of affection, and she said softly: "Well, I'll talk to my mother later."

Shui Rong stared at the girl, and noticed the strangeness in the girl's eyes. Thinking about the previous words, he suddenly realized something in his heart.

It's not that Baochai is a philistine, but that status is the top priority for her daughter's family. She is a typical lady, so she values ​​it very much. She can't just be a plaything without status and status, and she is shameless.

However, Shui Rong didn't expose it. He could agree to the title, but this would appear to be disrespectful to Yuanchun, the eldest wife. It would be unfavorable to the back house, so he responded softly, took out a sweat towel from his arms and handed it over, saying warmly : "Sister Bao, I see you are sweating on your forehead. Wipe it off."

He wanted to help Baochai wipe it intimately, but sisters like Daiyu were still there, and being too intimate made Baochai embarrassed and difficult to see others. Moreover, in private, he could wipe it however he wanted, and use whatever he wanted. What rub.

Baochai looked at the sweat towel, the autumn water under her apricot eyebrows was gleaming, and her heart was filled with a sweetness like honey. After reaching out to take it, she wiped the fine sweat from her forehead with the sweat towel. She was originally holding it in her hand. The embroidered handkerchief became a decoration.

I don’t know why, but this sweat towel is much more comfortable to wipe with. I guess it’s because my brother-in-law’s sweat towel is made of expensive materials.

"Sister Bao was chatting with me just now, why did she suddenly disappear?"

Needless to say, if such a strange thing happened, it was Lin Dao who was naturally the one to blame. I saw Daiyu holding Xiangyun's hand and walking over. Her two pairs of bright eyes looked at the sweat towel in Baochai's hand, and the corners of her lips curled up. With a smile on his face, his brows were filled with a hint of joking.

The sweat towel clearly belonged to the boy, so there was no need to think too much about it.

When Baochai heard this, her jade cheeks turned pink in embarrassment, she looked at Daiyu and Xiangyun with a bright face, and said in as calm a tone as possible: "Yuan is right behind you, what Zhu'er said makes no sense. "

They were all wandering around together and suddenly disappearing somewhere. If this meant anything, do you really think she couldn't hear it?

This frown and mouth are getting more and more cunning and weird. It is really the result of being spoiled by her brother-in-law.

Shui Rong's expression was calm. He was already used to Daiyu's strange aura. He saw a layer of sweat on Daiyu's temples and an unusual blush on her fair and pink face. She was tired.

Not only Daiyu, but also Xiangyun and Sanchun's faces were a little red, and they knew it in their hearts, so they said, "I see you are tired too, let's go back first."

Well, let’s change the topic by the way.

Hearing this, Daiyu's breasts, with her little lotus hair exposed, rose and fell gently, and she whispered: "Brother, we are fine."

It's a rare trip out, and it's a pity that the scenery in the mountains is not yet the same.

Shui Rong knew what Daiyu meant, he was not having enough fun.

Speaking of which, Daiyu is now more and more casual in front of him, avoiding any taboos and saying whatever comes to mind, which shows that the relationship between their "brother and sister" is getting deeper and deeper, which is a good thing.

Logically speaking, a brother should obey his sister, but he couldn't spoil her, so there was a hint of sternness in his voice as he said, "Look, your legs are shaking, you're okay."

Although all the golden hairpins are from the boudoir's daughter's family, and they are delicate and frail, they have nothing but red faces. Even the youngest Xichun is like this, but Daiyu is different. She is sickly and frail. That kind of thing, it really has a posture that can knock people down.

Daiyu was sensitive, so she noticed the change in Shui Rong's tone, thinking that her words were originally a joke, but she made her brother unhappy, and she felt a little aggrieved.

Isn't it just that I flattered Sister Bao for a word or two, so she suddenly became stern. She really forgot about her sister after having her sister. It's so boring.

Involuntarily, the bright autumn eyes under Daiyu's smoky eyebrows were filled with clouds and rain, and she felt even more aggrieved.

Looking at Daiyu's aggrieved look, Shui Rong's heart softened, and he understood that Daiyu might have been mistaken. Daiyu's beauty was otherworldly, full of fairy spirit and aura, and so elegant that it could not be compared with the fireworks of the world. Her appearance is of rare beauty, and Daiyu is simple, kind, smart and smart. She is a lovely person who is both beautiful and talented. Such a person naturally arouses pity and cannot bear to make her feel wronged.

This stern look was just because she was worried about Daiyu's health, and she had no intention of blaming her. However, Daiyu was sentimental and always too cautious, thus misinterpreting Shui Rong's good intentions.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong said in a gentle tone: "Qi'er, your body is already weak. The humidity in the mountains is heavy and the wind is strong. Now you are sweating. It will be bad if you get sick. Obedient, let's go back first." .”

Daiyu listened to the advice of being like a father and a brother, and for a moment, unspeakable emotions surged in her heart. She also understood that she had misinterpreted the boy's meaning, and couldn't help but feel relieved. She respected her brother from the bottom of her heart. If he disliked her, it would be worse than death. Still uncomfortable.

Holding the embroidered handkerchief and wiping the corners of her eyes, Daiyu nodded lightly without saying a word. Following Shui Rong's instructions, the outing came to an end. Everyone got on the carriage and headed into the temple.

In the Taoist Palace, Princess Beijing, Jia Mu, Yuan Chun, Mrs. Wang, Zhang Pan'er, Feng Jie'er, Ke Qing, You Shi, Zhen Hua and others gathered together.

Yuanchun looked at the rising sun and said with a hint of worry in his voice: "My lord, they have been out for a long time, why haven't they come back yet?"

Zhen Hua raised her eyes and glanced at Yuan Chun. A strange color flashed in her clear eyes, and she snorted in her heart: Only now did she think of her cousin. He was pretending, but she had been thinking about it. Princess Beijing didn't do much either. .

Concubine Beijing leaned lazily on the Jindun, raised her eyebrows slightly, and hummed with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "That monkey is just having fun, and he doesn't want to think about Girl Yun and the others."

This monkey has a group of younger sisters, but he has forgotten about her "mother". The younger sister is traveling around the mountains and rivers, and the mother is chanting sutras in the temple. Don't let her cover up the unscrupulous seeds in the future.

As someone who had been there, Mother Jia didn't understand that Concubine Beijing was thinking of the prince in her heart. She smiled and said to Xini, "Princess, the prince has an easy-going temperament. I think it's because the girls are playful, so the prince indulges them."

When Princess Beijing heard this, she understood in her heart that her son and his family knew that they would follow their own whims towards these sisters, and her heart ached tightly, thinking that it was just as Jia Mu said, she indulged them.

Thinking of this, Princess Beijing couldn't help but feel funny. At first, she was worried about the incompatibility of water with women. Now it seems that this is a revelation. Not to mention her sister, even her nephew and daughter-in-law are happy. There are too many clues.

With a chuckle, Princess Beijing said, "Sure enough, the girls in the Jia family are all very well-educated. I like them after seeing them, and I can't help but feel bad for Brother Rong."

One thing to say is that the girls of the Jia family are indeed not to mention that Yuanchun is gentle and virtuous, even Tanchun is also smart and capable. As for welcoming spring and cherishing spring, although they are not the same monkeys, they do have their own merits. Look It looks really good.

Hey, wait a minute, in the back house of the palace, Yuanchun is not mentioned for the time being. This is the official concubine. Tanchun is used as a dowry to help with the affairs of the palace. Although Baochai is from the Xue family, she has an irreconcilable relationship with the Jia family. Even if she is For the time being, it is not obvious that Daiyu was also raised by the Jia family. If we look closely, except for Keqing, the back house of the Beijing Prince's Palace is not the exclusive residence of the Jia family.

At this time, the mother-in-law outside reported: "Your Majesty and the others are back. Now they are going back to their houses to rest. Your Majesty ordered me to inform the concubine."

Concubine Beijing raised her eyes and glanced at the mother-in-law who made the report, nodded lightly, and remained silent.

The mother-in-law didn't realize he was there and continued: "The prince also said that he would ask Aunt Xue to come."

Aunt Xue's face lit up when she heard this, she vaguely guessed something in her heart, and immediately stood up and left.

Although everyone didn't know why Shui Rong was looking for Aunt Xue, they all knew about Baochai, so they didn't say much. However, Concubine Beijing in the hall had an incomprehensible look on her face, as if she was worrying about something.

Qingxu Guan, in the wing where Baochai temporarily lives.

Baochai held a cup of fragrant tea, raised her eyes to look at Shuirong who was sitting, and said softly: "Brother-in-law, I asked Ying'er to inform mom. Let's take a sip of tea and rest for a while."

Shui Rong took the fragrant tea and smiled without saying a word. After returning to Qingxu Temple, Shui Rong followed Baochai to her wing just to calm Aunt Xue's mind.

Taking a sip of tea, Shui Rong suddenly felt a little more relaxed. His eyes fell on Baochai Fengze's face, and he said in a gentle tone: "Sister Baochai, don't be restrained. You are sweating. Be careful not to get cold. Let the maids prepare water first." Shower and change clothes.”

In fact, Baochai is not as "strong" as Daiyu, who can arrive at the first blow. It doesn't matter if she waits for a while, but her sweaty body is always uncomfortable.

Baochai smiled and said softly: "Brother-in-law, it's okay. Mom will be here later."

Knowing that her brother-in-law was thinking about the Xue family immediately, Baochai understood her position in her brother-in-law's heart, and felt as if she had eaten honey. She asked Ying'er to inform Aunt Xue early to avoid embarrassing her brother-in-law for a long time. Wait.

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Xue walked in, her eyes fell on Shui Rong, who was sitting on a brocade pier, and she greeted with a smile, "The prince is here."

Shui Rong saw Aunt Xue's hairpins crumbling on her temples and the undulating mountains. He thought that Aunt Xue had come all the way here at a trot. He also knew in his heart that Aunt Xue was very concerned about the affairs of the Xue family. He chuckled and said in greeting: " Are you still used to living in Beijing?"

Aunt Xue's eyes flashed when she heard this, and without taking a breath, she said with a smile: "Everything is fine, I miss you, Lord."

Shui Rong knew that Aunt Xue understood what he meant, so he didn't waste any words and said bluntly: "What I mean is that Bao Yatou must have discussed it with Aunt Xue. I don't know what Auntie's plan is."

Aunt Xue had a plan in mind when moving to the capital. After all, she couldn't stay in Jinling because of Xue Pan's affairs. Otherwise, in the original work, the Xue family would not have to rely on the Jia family after moving to Beijing. This meeting with Shui Rong was just for peace of mind.

When Aunt Xue heard this, her expression straightened, and there was some hesitation in her tone, and she said, "Your Majesty, I'm not afraid of your jokes. My Pan'er has a rough-and-tumble temper. She idles around and makes trouble all day long, just for fear of nagging the Prince."

Baochai, who was hanging his head, frowned, feeling a little helpless. It seemed like he was worried about the Beijing Palace, but in fact it was a hint that his brother was idle and wanted to ask the Beijing Palace to help him. It was like asking for help. Hearing these words made people feel embarrassed, and they couldn't help but say: "The prince has asked my brother to be responsible for the purchase. When my brother has something serious to do, he won't be idle, and he won't be able to chatter about anything."

Shui Rong glanced at Baochai and felt very happy, because Baochai had no problem helping the Xue family, but he couldn't push too far. How could he know that Xue Pan was his son?

When Aunt Xue heard this, she looked startled and laughed sarcastically. She was exposed by her daughter, and her "old face" was a bit embarrassing. She knew that she was a little greedy, but her son, who was so generous, really made her worry.

Sighing softly, Aunt Xue smiled bitterly and said: "Pan'er told me about the purchase. It's just that although Pan'er did business with me, he is not a serious person, and if there is no one to restrain him, , it is inevitable that I will lose my temper and miss the prince’s business.”

Xue Pan had already told her about the construction and purchase of the imperial mausoleum, but she understood Xue Pan's temperament. If something happened and ruined the business, she would not be able to get it back.

Shui Rong nodded when he heard the words. Aunt Xue's words showed a bit of sincerity. If you say it directly, everything will be easy to discuss, but if you beat around the bush, you will be at a disadvantage.

As for what Aunt Xue meant, Shui Xiong probably understood it. Aunt Xue was not asking for anything, she was just afraid that Xue Pan would cause trouble and it would be hard to deal with.

How should I put it, it is just an "old mother"'s worry, asking for protection.

After thinking about it, Shui Rong said: "I will let people keep an eye on this matter. Brother Pan has been in business after all, so he will not be ignorant. It will be good for him to get more exercise."

There are traces to follow when purchasing, so it is not difficult. Letting Xue Pan handle it is also an exercise in ability, so there is no need to worry about it.

"As for the matter of restraint, Aunt Xue can rest assured. You live in the capital, and Brother Pan will be taught by me from now on. I just want to make it clear in advance that if Brother Pan is punished, Auntie, don't feel bad."

It's just a restraint, but this is not easy to handle. Just like the last time, you put a person in prison and suffer to see if he still dares to be arrogant. If you can't, give him a good beating to make him remember.

A filial brother-in-law comes out from under the stick and doesn't get in the way.

Aunt Xue's heart skipped a beat when she heard this and asked her not to feel bad. What was she going to do to her precious son?

Just as he was about to say something, Baochai persuaded him first: "Mom, my brother-in-law knows what he is doing, so don't worry. If you have taught your brother well, this is also a good thing."

Baochai didn't feel that it was against Shuirong's teaching to her brother-in-law. On the contrary, the fact that a dignified prince was willing to teach her in person was already giving her dignity, so what else could she be dissatisfied with.

Aunt Xue heard this and felt that it made sense. After all, she was still related to the family, and she could still beat her to death. She also left it to Shui Rong to teach him personally. This meant that if something happened to Xue Pan, Shui Rong would handle it, which could be regarded as a favor to Xue Pan. A guarantee.

Thinking of this, Aunt Xue no longer hesitated and decided to move to the capital. It was just that it was fashionable and there was no need to rush yet. She would wait until next year to make plans.

Now that the discussion was over, Aunt Xue didn't stay any longer. She looked at Shui Rong and Baochai for a moment, then turned away.

At this moment, Shui Rong and Baochai were the only two people left in the house, a man and a woman alone, and the atmosphere became increasingly ambiguous.

Shui Rong looked at Baochai, who had lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. He held the embroidered handkerchief in his white hands and couldn't help but chuckled softly and said: "Sister Bao, please prepare some water for bathing. I'm sweating, so it's not very refreshing." "

Baochai's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and two blushes appeared on Li Rui's snow-white face.

My brother-in-law wanted to take a bath in her place. With his temperament, he couldn't take a mandarin duck bath (End of Chapter)
