Red Mansion Beijingwang

The reason why Baochai went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion early in the morning to inquire about something was that now that she knew the situation, she would not disturb Daiyu. She walked for a while with Shui Rong and then parted ways and returned to Hengwu Garden.

After breakfast, the girl sat down at the desk and began to calculate some expenses in the mansion.

"Sister Bao, Sister Bao."

Just as Baochai was concentrating, a sweet voice like a silver bell came from outside, which made the girl smile, and her plump face showed a bit of helplessness.

Well, those two troublemakers are here again.

In a moment, Baoqin, dressed beautifully, pulled Xiangyun into the room happily. Looking at the girl sitting at the desk, she smiled and said, "Sister Bao, we are here to play with you."

Baochai put down her brush, looked at the two people's noisy appearance with her bright almond eyes, and sighed, "Oh my, I finally got some free time, and you guys came to find me. I can't stand your noise."

Xiangyun curled her lips when she heard this, and ignored Baochai's complaints. She reached out and picked up the blue account book from the table and flipped through it casually, muttering, "Sister Bao, you're fiddling with these things all day long, and you don't find it annoying!"

These account books gave her a headache, so she lost interest.

As she spoke, Xiangyun came forward, took Baochai's arm, and said with a smile: "Sister Bao, let's go for a walk in the yard together."

Baochai heard this, her snowy face revealed a bit of helplessness, raised her hand and touched Xiangyun's upturned nose, and said earnestly: "After all, you are the daughter of a marquis, how can you not know these worldly matters."

As sisters who grew up together, how could Baochai not know Xiangyun's personality? She was generous, lively, innocent and fun. But as a girl, she would get married sooner or later, and when she became a mistress, how could she not learn to manage accounts?

To be honest, with Xiangyun's cleverness and intelligence, it would be absolutely no problem for her to calm down.

Xiangyun didn't take it seriously and said indifferently, "Since you guys are here, why should I care about these mundane matters?"

Baochai couldn't help laughing. She looked at Xiangyun's chubby face with her bright almond eyes and said jokingly, "When you get married in the future, you will still have to rely on yourself."

With the eldest sister and a group of other sisters in Prince Beijing's mansion, Xiangyun and the others don't have to worry about anything. But Xiangyun will get married sooner or later, and she can't just continue to indulge in play!
Xiangyun was startled when she heard that. She rolled her eyes and flipped through the account book in her hand without answering.

She understood Baojie's kind reminder. If it were in the past, she would have prepared for a rainy day. However, the situation was different now. She had been bullied by her brother-in-law, so she was his person and would have to stay in the palace in the future. With Baojie and the others around, why should she care about these things?

But I definitely can’t say this directly to Sister Bao right now.

Baochai looked at Xiangyun's innocent look and sighed slightly. She turned her almond-shaped eyes to look at Baoqin who was also rummaging through her desk on the side, and her slender willow-leaf eyebrows couldn't help but raise.

Baoqin's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly dropped the account book in her hand. Her delicate face was filled with smiles, and she stepped forward and said coquettishly, "Good sister, I'm still young, and my brother-in-law said that we can play for two more years."

Baochai couldn't help but laugh. Her bright almond eyes narrowed slightly and she said unhappily, "You two are relying on your brother-in-law's indulgence to make trouble. Sooner or later, you will regret it."

Just as Baoqin said, they were both still young and there was no need to rush for success. Moreover, her brother-in-law did say so. Since he had spoken, Baochai couldn't say anything.

Alas~ my brother-in-law dotes on me too much.

Hearing this, Baoqin and Xiangyun were delighted and couldn't help but smile at each other. It felt really comfortable to have their brother-in-law supporting them from behind.

Having said that, Baoqin was still a little intimidated by her cousin Baochai. Her crystal clear eyes twinkled under her curved eyebrows, and she changed the subject, saying, "Sister Bao is busy, so let's go look for Sister Lin and the others."

Sisters in the Man Mansion, are they still afraid of not finding a partner?
Baochai's heart skipped a beat, and an unnatural look appeared on her plump cheeks. She pulled Baoqin's sleeve and said, "Pin'er drank too much yesterday, so she must be feeling unwell now. You two should stop disturbing her."

It is true that I feel unwell, but it is not because of the alcohol I drank, but because of my brother-in-law.

Baoqin didn't know the details, but she felt that since Sister Lin was unwell, she should go there, so she smiled and said, "Then we should go visit Sister Lin."

Baochai was speechless when she heard this. She was silent for a while before she said, "Well, then you guys go and have a look. If Pin'er is still resting, don't disturb her. After all, Pin'er is sick to begin with, and you guys persuaded her to drink too much yesterday."

Since Xiangyun and Baoqin wanted to go, if she stopped them, it would arouse suspicion, so she simply let them go.

Based on her understanding of Daiyu, she was afraid that someone would find out something, so she probably wouldn't see anyone at this time. She sent them away on the grounds that she was not feeling well. She said this to prevent the two of them from making a fuss.

"It was Sister Lin's birthday, so everyone was happy and ordered a few more candles."

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Baoqin's rosy face. After all, she was the one who made the most noise yesterday, and everyone knew about Daiyu's health problems.

After that, Baoqin took Xiangyun's arm and said excitedly: "Don't worry, Sister Bao, we'll just take a look. If Sister Lin is resting, we won't disturb her."

Baochai looked at the two people rushing about, feeling both amused and helpless.

With such a lively and playful nature, how can they get married when they grow up? It's all my brother-in-law's fault. Why do I spoil them so much and let them feel safe and secure?
In a blink of an eye, night fell and the sky was dotted with stars.

Inside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the candles in the side rooms have been lit. Daiyu, wearing a lilac-colored dress, is leaning on the beauty couch, holding a book in her slender hands. Her jade-like, white cheeks are gentle and beautiful under the light.

She did not leave the house today and lay on the couch on the pretext of feeling unwell. She met Baoqin, Xiangyun and a few other sisters who came to visit her, said a few words to them, and then sent them away.

Xiren came in holding a teacup, and took a look at the girl leaning against him. Her beautiful eyes flickered, and she handed the teacup over, saying with concern, "Miss Lin, are you feeling better?"

Daiyu took the teacup from Xiren. When she heard this, her fair cheeks flushed with shame. She said softly, "It's still a little uncomfortable. I think it will be better tomorrow."

Zijuan's pretty face was rosy, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes were less immature and more beautiful than before. She was tidying up the bed when she heard the conversation between Xiren and Daiyu. She interrupted and said, "It's strange. I'm fine, but why is the young lady so unhappy?"

Last night was a night of growth for the master and servant. Except for the discomfort at the end, everything was fine afterwards. However, it was strange that the girl was not in good condition when she got up in the morning.

Could it be that this matter is also divided into young ladies and maids?

As she spoke, Zijuan seemed curious, looked at Xiren with a red face, and asked, "Sister Xiren, are you the same as the girl?"

Xiren felt a little shy when she heard Zijuan's embarrassing words. After thinking for a while, she shook her head and said, "I am the same as you. There is nothing wrong with me."

She was actually a little puzzled. Both she and Xiren were fine, so why was the young lady so unhappy? It had been a whole day, and she was still not fully recovered.

Daiyu's face flushed red as she spat, "You two little rascals, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Really, you have no shame in talking about these private matters in front of each other.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Daiyu came to her senses and felt regretful. Her snow-white face turned red as fire and she didn't know what to say.

The three of them were already in bed together, and given their close relationship, it didn't seem out of place to say these things.

Recalling the scene of last night, Daiyu's face flushed, her two curved eyebrows slightly raised, and she said with shame and anger: "It's all his fault."

Why am I different from Xiren and Zijuan? It's because I'm narrow-minded. He made me fall asleep after all the trouble. I feel uncomfortable and it's not normal.

Xiren and Zijuan probably knew that Daiyu was shy and it was not appropriate to say such things in front of her, so they did not continue.

At this moment, Xueyan outside the house suddenly said, "Miss, Miss Bao is coming."

Daiyu was surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that it was already dark and why did Sister Bao suddenly come to her. Could it be that she heard that she was not feeling well and came to visit her?
While she was thinking, she saw the bright and charming Baochai walk in through the pearl curtain. She stared at the girl leaning against her and said in a gentle voice, "Pin'er, are you feeling better?"

Daiyu felt a little warm at heart when she heard this. She stood up with the help of Xiren and Zijuan. She frowned and said softly, "It's not a big deal. Thank you for your concern, sister."

When she was feeling unwell, several sisters came to see her. Facing the concern of the sisters, Daiyu felt a little guilty. If you tell a lie, you will have to make up for it with countless lies.

Baochai stared at Daiyu's furrowed brows, her eyes fell on her shy straightness, and she understood what was going on in her heart, and secretly spat at her brother-in-law's rudeness.

I had long guessed that Pin'er was frail and could not bear such a heavy burden, and my brother-in-law had no sympathy for her.

Baochai approached Daiyu with lotus steps, took her hand, and said gently, "Good sister, let's sit down and talk."

Daiyu's heart warmed up, and she sat down, a smile on her fair face, and said, "Sister, this is not a serious matter, you will be fine after a rest."

Baochai blinked her sparkling almond eyes and said, "That's good. It's also your brother-in-law's fault for not knowing the limits and making you, Pin'er, suffer."

"Yes, that's strange."

Daiyu responded subconsciously, and came back to her senses as soon as the words were spoken. Under her frowning brows, her beautiful crystal eyes widened slightly as she looked at Baochai, who was smiling gently.

What does Sister Bao mean by this? Could it be that she knows?
Not only was Dai stunned, but Zijuan and Xiren were also surprised. Zijuan, who had just been enlightened, was unable to recover. At that time, the experienced Xiren stepped forward and changed the subject: "Miss Bao, what you said is true. Everyone in the palace knows how much the prince loves you. How could he not know the limits?"

Daiyu looked at the embarrassed Xiren and the stunned Daiyu and Zijuan, her almond eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled: "Early this morning, I saw my brother-in-law coming out of Pin'er's place, and he told me everything."

As soon as these words came out, Daiyu's heart was shaken, her rosy face was burning hot, and she stammered, "Sister Bao, I... I..."

When she went out, she was caught by Sister Bao. Daiyu didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing Daiyu's shy look, Baochai took the girl's hand and patted it gently, saying softly, "I have always treated you as my sister. Now that we are sisters, it will be a good thing for us to live under the same roof in the future."

She understood Daiyu and knew that young girls were straightforward. If she knew that she knew her affairs but was "pretending", she would definitely think too much. Thinking that since her brother-in-law asked her to take care of Pin'er, Baochai thought about it and decided to confront Daiyu.

Daiyu blinked her bright eyes when she heard this. As her mind turned, she said with some emotion, "No wonder my brother-in-law said that Bao-jie was kind, respectful and frugal. It is me who is narrow-minded."

When she first met Baochai, Daiyu felt a little uncomfortable with her worldly behavior. After several conflicts with Baoyu, it was Baochai who comforted her most of the time, which moved Daiyu greatly.

Originally, she felt a little guilty towards Baochai, but who would have thought that Baochai would be so frank, making her seem petty.

Baochai smiled but said nothing. She held Daiyu's soft little hand and said softly, "Since things have come to this, don't think too much. Leave the rest to your brother-in-law."

Since you took Pin'er's body, you should be responsible.

Daiyu's face flushed when she heard this. Her bright eyes narrowed under her curved eyebrows, and she felt a little embarrassed.

In the past, she teased Sister Bao with her younger sister-in-law, but now she can't tease her anymore, because Sister Bao has really become her elder sister. Especially since she is in such an awkward situation now and was seen by Sister Bao, she feels too embarrassed to face others.

At this moment, Xueyan outside the house reported again: "Miss, the prince is here."

Soon, Shui Rong came in. Seeing Baochai was also here, he was slightly surprised and said softly, "Bao girl is here too!"

Baochai was slightly delighted. She had not expected that she had only come to visit Daiyu, but she met her brother-in-law by chance. It was really a coincidence.

Her bright and rosy eyebrows were filled with joy, and Baochai replied softly, "Pin'er is not feeling well, I came to see her."

Shui Rong looked at the elf-like girl with a sidelong glance. On her delicate face, there was a hint of charm between her delicate eyebrows. She asked with concern, "Why are you feeling unwell, Pin'er?"

Daiyu's cheeks flushed red, and her bright eyes gave the boy a displeased look. She felt extremely ashamed, and snorted softly, turning her head away slightly and ignoring the boy.

I'm not feeling well, and that's your fault. Now you have the nerve to ask me about it.

Shui Rong raised his eyebrows and felt speechless. He had just taken good care of Daiyu last night, but how could she turn hostile in the blink of an eye, as if she didn't recognize him after putting on her clothes.

Baochai smiled, looked at the young man with her bright almond eyes, and said, "Brother-in-law, I told Pin'er about my encounter with you this morning."

You see, she is very careful about what her brother-in-law tells her to do.

Shui Rong suddenly understood what was going on when he heard this. Under his handsome brows, his sharp eyes looked at Daiyu and Baochai who were sitting together. The combination of Daiyu and Baochai was like the twin peony and hibiscus, which made people's heart move.

Daiyu met the young man's gaze, and for some reason her heart trembled. She blushed and changed the subject, "Brother, why are you here?"

Shui Rong walked closer and sat down in front of the two girls. He reached out and held Daiyu's soft little hand, stared at the girl's rosy face, and said, "Of course I came here to see Pin'er."

He had finished his work today and thought Daiyu must be tired, so he came to see her. He definitely didn't come to relive the tenderness of the Immortal Crimson Pearl Herb.

Daiyu was delighted and glanced at Baochai beside her. Then she felt ashamed and withdrew her hand without leaving a trace. She said softly, "Since you have seen it, go back."

Since Baochai knew about this, it would be too embarrassing to pull her hand in front of Sister Bao.

Shui Rong knew that the girl was shy, so he didn't say anything. His eyes fell on the bright and charming Baochai again. He held the girl's soft little hand and said, "Has Baochai had dinner?"

Baochai's face flushed red, and she wanted to withdraw her hand, but the young man was prepared, so she couldn't open her eyes. She bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth and said in a trembling voice, "Eat it."

He may be generous, but why did the brother-in-law pull her hand in front of Pin'er?

Seeing the boy's little movements, Daiyu frowned, looked at him with her bright eyes in annoyance, and said, "It's getting late, and I'm a little tired."

He pulled Baojie's hand in front of her, and then he pulled Baojie's hand in front of himself. What was he doing? He was making fun of the sisters as if they were his prostitutes.

Shui Rong listened to Daiyu's tone of expelling guests, but he didn't care. He held Daiyu's hand with his other hand and sighed, "I am so honored to have two sisters."

The marriage of Chai and Dai is a blessing that is hard to come by.

Daiyu was originally ashamed of the young man's behavior. When she heard what he said, her heart trembled. Her hand, which was about to struggle, stopped. Her delicate little face turned a little red with shame. She spat secretly, turned her head away as if nothing had happened, and let her brother catch her.

Seeing this, Shui Rong felt proud. Baochai was a gentle and docile person. Even though she was shy, she did not retract her hand. On the other hand, Daiyu was thin-skinned. This was a difficult hurdle. If she wanted to achieve her goal, she would have to use both soft and hard tactics.

Baochai looked at the young man with her sparkling eyes, then glanced at Daiyu, lowered her head, and whispered, "It is my blessing to meet my brother-in-law."

It is said that it is the blessing brought by her brother-in-law, but for them, Baochai thinks it is the blessing brought by themselves. Otherwise, how could an orphan and a merchant's daughter have the blessing to come to the palace.

The most important thing is that the sister-in-law is a reliable person. What else can they ask for? Could they look for the immature Bao Erye?

According to Baochai's estimation, if Daiyu did not have a brother-in-law, and if she married Baoyu, even without Lady Wang, they might get along harmoniously at first because of their childhood sweethearts, but as time went by, they would surely quarrel constantly.

If it were her, she could imagine the hardship of being the one who takes care of her husband and children.

Shui Rong's eyes flashed when he heard that, and he leaned over and kissed Baochai's bright red lips.

Daiyu stared at the scene with her eyes wide open, her cheeks flushed red with shame, and she couldn't help but secretly spit, her heart filled with shame and anger.

It would be fine if he just pulled Sister Bao's hand in front of her, but he actually kissed Sister Bao in front of her. What kind of position did the brother put himself in? It was too much. (End of this chapter)
