Haven't seen each other for many years, Yuan Chun is very happy, this is her most beloved younger brother, and he is so promising, the emperor specially let their siblings meet, which made her very happy.

Baoyu and Jia Lian talked with her for a while, saying that everything is fine in the Taoist family, so she doesn't have to worry about it, and everything is fine for herself.Yuanchun is almost thirty now, and although he is well-maintained and clothed daily, Shuihong is not the kind of person who is intoxicated with beauty, and in the harem, he only has deep affection with the empress, and the others are just indifferent, without love Nourishing, she still looks a little old.

Sometimes this is not aging in appearance, but tiredness in heart.She has already seen clearly that the emperor will not care about any woman except the queen. What she has to do now is to serve the emperor when he comes occasionally, and be her concubine with peace of mind when he doesn't come. As long as you live in peace, you will have prosperity and wealth for a lifetime.What's more, she has such an upbeat brother.

After half an hour, Jialian Baoyu left. Before leaving, Yuanchun rewarded many things, including Mrs. Jia Muwang and all the sisters.The two of them took their things and went to say hello to Shui Hong before leaving the palace.

Shuihong also rewarded some, mostly jade and pearls, and a few pieces of good ink.The two returned with a full load, and when they went back, they talked to Mrs. Jia Muwang, and the whole family was beaming.Baochai got a few pearl flowers awarded by Yuanchun, and a small diorama, which she sometimes likes but feels sad about.If he went in by himself, where would he lack these things?

Jia Lian went back after sitting down for a while, and went back to his home to see what the emperor rewarded him.Those few pieces of good ink are just for Heng'er and Zhi'er.Baoyu didn't stay too long, and went back to his yard after seeing that the things had been separated.He did quite well, even Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao Jia Huan did not fall behind, he was impartial, no more, no less, very fair, no one complained.

Mingyan followed him all the way back, he took big steps, Mingyan was almost running.At this time, the snow was a little lighter, but it was still numerous.The snowflakes falling on Baoyu's head melted in an instant, and her hair was wet and white.The cloak was also covered with snowflakes, which disappeared after a while.He has a deep inner breath, and his body is more resistant to cold than ordinary people.

Entering the house, taking off his cloak, he wiped his face.The servants had already boiled hot water when they knew that he was coming back. After Mingyan put down the things, he brought back the water basin deftly. down.

Soaked in hot water, he just felt a little nothing to do.In the past, preparing for the exam, I spent most of my time reading books. When I arrived in Yangzhou, Daiyu was by my side.Now that I am free, I realize that life is really boring.Of course, he also knows that this leisure is only temporary, and he will be busy after the appointment of the imperial court in the next year.

After soaking in a hot bath and taking a nap, when he woke up, he felt his whole body was limp, and he didn't want to move.After struggling for a long time, he still got up, looked at the snowflakes fluttering outside, suddenly got excited, took down the sword hanging on the wall, and only wore white single clothes, he danced the sword in the yard.

It's a dance, but it's not just fancy and useless moves.Baoyu has learned the scriptures of Nine Yins and Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon. Martial arts in the world are basically interlinked, and this swordsmanship is naturally handy. There is no trick to win. At this time, he dances at will, but his moves are deadly, and they all have a murderous look. .

The sword was getting faster and faster, none of the falling snowflakes fell on his body, his clothes fluttered and merged with the shadow of the sword, and the falling snow on the ground also flew up, making it impossible to distinguish between the person and the sword and the snow.Baoyu moved her ears, slowed down, turned over in the air and held more than a dozen sword flowers, stretched out her right arm, and stabbed the point of the sword straight towards the door!

Baochai watched in horror as the sharp sword stabbed towards her face, completely forgetting to react and screaming.

The sword stopped barely half an inch away from her eyebrows, and after a few breaths, Baoyu put the sword behind her and stood tall, smiling: "Why didn't Sister Bao come to say hello? What if I accidentally hurt you?" What can you do?"

Baochai covered her heart, gasped for breath, and smiled weakly after a long while, "Brother Bao...that's amazing, I just...just saw it today..."

Baoyu stretched out her hand and made a "please come in" gesture: "Sister Bao, it's cold outside, you'd better go in and sit down." Baochai's legs were still a little weak, she forced a smile: "ah, no, I... I just came Thank you for those gifts..."

With an impeccable smile, Baoyu said, "It's nothing, it's all given by the eldest sister, and I'm just responsible for bringing it back to share." Baochai said, "Oh, aren't you cold if you only wear this? Come in, Me, I'll go first..." She smiled, turned around slowly, and walked away holding her heart.

Baoyu smiled, shaking the snowflakes on his body, and strode into the house.

She wouldn't be afraid to go to the door, would she?He secretly amused.After exercising this routine and frightening Sister Bao, Baoyu only felt comfortable physically and mentally. She ate a big bowl of noodles at night, and she didn't even have a dream when she went to sleep.

When he got up the next day, he told Mother Jia that he was going out, and he probably wouldn't be back at noon.Mother Jia hasn't seen him for more than half a year, and she's been clinging to her grandson these days, but Baoyu is getting busy and often runs out, and she can't do it, after all, the child has grown up, is promising, and already has his own life, she I can't stop him, but the boss reluctantly agreed, and told him to be careful on the road, come back early and wait for words before letting him go.

Baoyu came all the way to Tianxiang Pavilion by car, Fu'er got the shopkeeper's order early in the morning, and has been waiting for the past few days. As soon as he came, he called Fu'er into the room to inquire.

"How is it? Is there any suitable one?" He was a little excited. He wanted to live in a hot spring room for a day or two!As early as when he was in Yangzhou, he sent a message back to let Fu'er look for it, and only today did he have time to ask.

Fu'er also has it now, and the experience of the past few years has made him more mature and stable. He and Mingyan can be said to be Baoyu's capable officers, right-hand men, and can handle the affairs entrusted to him properly.

At this time, he bowed and replied: "Master, I have walked around outside the city several times, but I have never encountered such a thing." Before Baoyu was disappointed, he continued, "But then I found some craftsmen, and they knew that there was no such thing in Xishan. There are quite a few natural springs nearby, but this is a rarity, and only a few princes in the capital are outside the Zhuangzi to use the springs there, and many of them are in charge of building them, so I know a little more about them."

Baoyu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Then can you convince them to help us build it?" "This..." Fu'er was a little confused: "The little one is also worrying about this these days! Most of them are dedicated to the royal family. The people who built the house, I only got some information through my relationship, I have to ask them for an estimate..."

Baoyu pondered for a while, and said, "Don't worry about this, I have a solution. You just made it clear that it is in Xishan? There are many springs there?" Fu'er nodded. "That's fine. I'm going to build a private garden there. You just need to prepare the materials and silver. I'll let you know when I have any news."

Fu'er nodded in response, Baoyu didn't have much ink, got up and left with the tea. "Go to Beijing Prince's Mansion." It's not easy for me to enjoy myself... He thought silently in the car, it's still not enough, this shows the importance of power, even a few workers can't be controlled if they don't have the ability!

There must be many skilled craftsmen under Shui Rong's hands, so he should be able to borrow and borrow, right?

Shui Rong didn't go to court today, and the year is approaching, and the ministers are basically on vacation. Although he is the biggest coolie, Shui Hong is probably busy coaxing his wife to take care of the children, or thinking that he will finally be able to marry a wife. He was merciful and gave him a vacation. He was thinking that he would not go to Tianxiang Pavilion to meet his future princess, so he heard the steward report that Baoyu had come.

"Strange, you're a rare visitor! Why did you remember that I'm here?" He let out a sigh of relief when he saw Baoyu come in, then raised his hand and poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile.Baoyu was not polite either. He took off his cloak and put it on the back of the chair, and explained the purpose of coming without any nonsense.

"...I am only a Zhuangzi until now. I am too poor, but this hot spring is still precious. I can't afford it, so I have to come to you. Let me borrow a few people!" He finished speaking in one breath, and then said Start acting coquettishly.Shui Rong said unhappily: "I know that you will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!" But he was also interested.

"You mean the hunting Xishan?" He patted the chair, "I didn't know there was such a good thing. How about I get one too?" "That's, actually, I heard about the hot springs around Chang'an in the early Tang Dynasty There are so many talents! I just don’t know if there are any more, maybe they have already done it.” Baoyu’s words were full of regret.

"It's okay, let's have people look for it when we go to Chang'an, and let people build it again!" Shui Rong didn't take it seriously, and waved his hand domineeringly, "I think it's good, let's build one by ourselves, let's leave It's too far away, wouldn't it be better if we could go play together?" "Then why don't you ask Lian's second brother if we can build it?" Baoyu rolled his eyes: Is this going to be a partnership?There is a feeling that my things have been robbed...

Sao Nian, don't forget that you came to ask for help first...

Shui Rong immediately patted his thigh: "That's right! That would be even better! In this way, you go back and ask Ah Huai if you want to come with us, and if you've made it clear, send me a letter, and I'll send someone to ask The specific situation, once everything is settled, we will start working immediately!"

"...Okay..." Although a little depressed, but it can be done well, Baoyu responded. "Then I'll go back now, you are busy with your work."

As soon as Baoyu left, Shui Rong called the steward to discuss it.There is no need for him to go out in person for this matter, it will be done under orders.He was free and comfortable, so he took this matter to pass the time.

When Baoyu returned to the mansion, he went straight to Jia Lian. It was almost noon, and Jia Lian was still a little strange: "Didn't you say you won't be back at noon?" I'm back. I came to you to discuss something."

"Okay, let's chat while eating." Jia Lian nodded and asked people to prepare lunch.Let Sister Feng eat with the children, and he and Baoyu eat together.

"Come on, what's the matter? You're in such a hurry." He asked Baoyu to sit down. "I asked someone to find out that there is a hot spring in the west mountain," Baoyu said, and Jia Lian was really interested. "So I thought about building a separate courtyard there and drawing hot spring water there, but I couldn't find a good craftsman, so I went to I found Shui Rong, and he wanted to get one when he heard me, so he just asked me to ask you if you want to build one together, the three of us will build one, and it will be closer, so we can play together. What do you think?"

Jia Lian really admired him: "You have come up with flowers just for fun!" He wanted to squint his eyes comfortably, "You decide quickly, do you want it or not? I'm still in a hurry to write back to him!" He urged.

"Well, let me think about it." Jia Lian's businessman nature came out, "If A Rong is also with him, will he cover the wages? There are other manpower and material resources, wood and stone, furniture and so on..." Baoyu was helpless: "I said, can we not be so careful? You still expect to live in a ready-made place without paying anything? Isn't that too beautiful?"

Jia Lian smiled: "I was just joking. I think it's good when you say that. Feng'er is afraid of the cold. It would be great if there is such a thing. It's just..." He hesitated when he said this. "It's just what?" "...The emperor intends to let me go to Jiangnan, and I will leave before the construction is completed. Isn't that in vain? What a disadvantage to me!"

"Well, this is indeed a problem." Baoyu touched his chin with a heavy expression, and the next second he returned to the state of chicken blood, and waved his hand: "What's the matter! We are not short of money! Repair it, what? When will you come back and when will you go! The big deal is to build a few more over there after you leave! A Rong also said that he will build over there when he goes to Chang'an! It doesn't matter how many more!"

Tyrant!Jia Lian is holding a tea bowl with star eyes.

The author has something to say: I feel that I am just looking for something to do when I have nothing to do. I have designed so many good houses for Baoyu, but they can’t live for a long time. Just write it out...
