[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

The author has something to say: Unified explanation: 1 About Yuanchun Ligong, it was written in Chapter 95. 2 Yuanchun's child is full moon, there is one in Chapter 115, which may not be written in detail, so everyone is not impressed.Thank you for your long-term support!

When he was in Xinjiang, the piece of jade that Baoyu dropped was back in his hands!

At that time, he wondered, why did this happen for no reason?Unexpectedly, Qiaozong was waiting here.

What would happen if you put jade on this child?If you don't want your child to be wise like a Wenquxing, at least you want Chang'an Kangning, right?

Bao Cong took out the piece of jade, eager to try it, handed it to Yuan Chun and said, "This is a gift I prepared for Xuan'er, you remember to wear it close to her body."

Yuan Chun took a look and said in surprise: "Isn't this the piece of jade from Baoyu? Why did you give it to the child? Does the mother know? How does she agree?"

She had taken care of Baoyu Baocong before, so she recognized it immediately.

Because of this jade, Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang looked at Baoyu like an eyeball, and placed [-] expectations on him, thinking that he would naturally be an amazing talent when he grows up.And this piece of jade is as awe-inspiring as the ancestors enshrined in the ancestral hall.

Mrs. Wang is no matter how precious her daughter and granddaughter are, how can she compare with Baoyu?That's why she was surprised and puzzled.

In order to coax Yuanchun to accept it, Baocong made up a story: "Baoyu's jade is naturally worn by him. I carved this little jade after his jade. I have sisters in my family. I left a piece for my niece. Let her enjoy the blessing of Baoyu."

Since it's not that piece, Yuanchun can accept it with peace of mind.

Baocong was afraid that she would just leave it as an ordinary object, so he said one more thing: "This is consecrated by an eminent monk and Buddha, you must remember to wear it for your child!"

Yuan Chun nodded and replied with a smile: "Understood." How could she not respond to her brother's kindness?

During the gossip, Bao Cong was a little absent-minded, and he thought of other things.

On the way back to Beijing, he had nothing to do, so he went to the illusion every day to figure out the method of carving huge stones.

That boulder is actually his own body, so every part of the boulder corresponds to his own body one by one.The boulder can not only become bigger or smaller with his consciousness, but also change shape, which is convenient for him to carve by hand.

If it is carved exactly according to the topography of this world, then his body will not be affected in any way.However, if he destroys or changes the terrain sculpture like the last time he rescued Qingwen, then his body will have corresponding scars.Just like that time when he woke up, there was a small cut on his face for no reason, which made Yuanyang jump.

What surprised him the most was that when he was carving, he could see what was happening in the area under the awl, and even when he looked closely, he could hear what the people above said.If you can see and hear something useful, maybe there is a way...

Bao Cong couldn't wait to say goodbye to Yuan Chun, and after returning home, he went straight into the study.

Dong Ming stood guard at the door, and when someone came, he had to give a warning first, so as not to let others come in and find that Bao Cong had changed into a living person.

After entering the illusion, Bao Cong found the palace from the place where Qingwen was found last time, estimated the direction and distance.

He always went to the main hall in front of the court, the emperor's living room and various residences in the harem. He couldn't tell where he was.Only relying on the memory of traveling in the previous life and the popularity of TV dramas and historical documentaries, I probably explored the living palace of the next emperor.

After searching for a quarter of an hour, the Hall of Mental Cultivation was found, but unfortunately the emperor was not there.The eunuchs and maids on duty either stood like logs, or hid in a corner and dozed off, and there was nothing to see.

Bao Cong looked left and right again, the harem was such a large area, and the red walls and yellow tiles all looked similar, so he almost didn't see him.The queen mother was taking a nap, the queen was assigning affairs, a bunch of concubines and concubines were talking together, or wandering around... Bao Cong didn't see anything useful, so he had to get closer and listen to what they had to say one by one.

"Hmph, this Concubine Chen is just pregnant. She is dizzy or vomits or has a stomach ache every day. Let the emperor run to Yunxia Palace every day. Do you really think you have a golden egg?"

"What's the use of you speaking sour words? If you have the ability, you can conceive by yourself!"

"Hey, you can't compare to her. You still wear a tulle skirt to dance in the winter, but don't be tempted by the emperor. I'll be sick first!"

"My dance practice was handpicked by the empress. Why do you seduce the emperor? Don't you speak so harshly? But you can't beak the empress?"

"I didn't say anything, don't accuse me of crimes!"...

Obviously there were only three or four people, and they talked as if a dozen people were arguing.Bao Cong's head hurt from hearing this, but luckily he had already figured out that the emperor should be with Concubine Chen in Yunxia Palace.

After fumbling for a while, Bao Cong successfully found Yunxia Palace.

Concubine Chen, who had a belly of three or four months, was sending the emperor out.At this time, it may be that the emperor just woke up from a nap.

Bao Cong watched the emperor go all the way to the study, and instead of approving the memorial, he called a Taoist priest to speak.He listened for a while in a daze, as if he was talking about practicing immortality pills.

Heh, the emperor is only 63 years old, why did he start pursuing immortality?

Bao Cong got closer and looked at the emperor, and saw that the emperor had gray hair on his temples, and although he had shaved his beard, he could vaguely see the silvery white.His face was haggard again, with dark circles under his eyes, and wrinkles around his eyes and mouth... It was obvious that he was getting older.

Also, no matter how well the ancients took care of their skin, 60 years old is still an advanced age.The emperor's spirit was weak and his body was weak, and he felt old, so he began to pursue elixir.

It's just that most of the eminent monks and Taoists in the world are liars who deceive people, and those who say they can practice immortality pills for the emperor are even the biggest liars among liars.If he really took those messy pills, he might have a short lifespan!

Bao Cong shook his head, he didn't want to continue listening, so he moved to another place.

Concubine Chen of Yunxia Palace is more important than the emperor.Bao Cong vaguely remembered that Concubine Chen was a distant relative of King Zhongshun, and she didn't get along well with Yuan Chun in the past.

Going to Yunxia Palace again, Bao Cong saw Concubine Chen leaning on the reclining chair, talking to her confidant maid: "Oh, I just don't want to, she will come back when the New Year's day comes. Although she is old, she is not as beautiful as before. , but after all the emperor likes her talent, and now she has given birth to an emperor daughter, if the emperor is made happy and the emperor thinks of her past affection, then what should I do?"

Yuan Chun was a woman who had been a noble concubine. She was unique in the limelight at the time, and even the empress wanted to be courteous to her, so Concubine Chen had to think more about it.

The palace maid comforted: "My lady, don't worry, she has a princess, but you have a prince! The imperial doctor said, your baby must be a boy! When you give birth to a prince, how can the emperor think of that bitch! "

Concubine Chen was not happy, "I still have several months to give birth! It will take another half a year to recuperate my body after giving birth. She will come back in a few days! During these few months, I can't serve the emperor. She took the opportunity to take advantage of her? It just made me worry a lot!"

The maid hesitated and said, "Why don't you recommend someone to serve the emperor?"

After hearing this, Concubine Chen suddenly raised her eyes to look at the maid, her eyes seemed to be eating people!

The palace maid trembled in fright, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, this servant will never dare to think of serving your Majesty wholeheartedly! It's just that the servant is afraid that the bitch will overwhelm your empress when he returns to the palace, so he came up with this idea." .”

Concubine Chen snorted softly, closed her eyes and said, "Of course I know your loyalty. As for what you said, let me think about it again. If you want to recommend someone, it's hard to choose!"

After speaking, he slowly fell asleep.

The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief, quietly moved to the side, turned on the charcoal fire, and stood beside her with her head bowed, turning into a wooden figure as usual.

It turned out that Concubine Chen in the palace did not want Yuan Chun to return to the palace...

Bao Cong slowly thought about it, with Concubine Chen finding fault everywhere, Yuan Chun's return to the palace might be more difficult than imagined.

If she takes Xuan'er back, as she predicted, the child will either be rejected by the emperor, or will not receive good medical care, and it will be difficult for a year or so to pass.If you take Xuan'er back and keep this secret, is it because you are afraid that others will not be able to handle it?

Concubine Chen has this idea, maybe he can take advantage of it?

Just thinking about it, Bao Cong heard Dong Ming talking outside, and hurried out of the illusion.

Lin Daiyu was coming in and said: "You hid in the study as soon as you came back, but what are you busy with?"

Bao Cong laid out the nearly completed map of the capital city on the table, and said, "The New Year's Eve is approaching, and I want to finish this map before the Chinese New Year. I'm just hesitating whether to send it to the palace during the Chinese New Year."

Lin Daiyu looked at the map carefully, amazed and amazed in her heart, and said bluntly: "I have never seen such a detailed map. It is hard for you to spend several years drawing this!"

The houses, buildings, streets and alleys on the map are fully drawn, and there are characteristic marks of various mansions, official residences, B&Bs and shops, and under the map, the marks on the map are written in small characters one by one.There are also dimensions and lengths marked. If you want to know the distance, take a ruler to measure it, and it will be very accurate if you calculate it in multiples.

With this picture, you can see the whole capital city!

Bao Cong was very useful to hear it. Such a map is still crude in modern times, but it is indeed the most detailed miniature map in today's world.

As for the part of the palace, only the outer wall of the palace gate was painted, and the inside was left empty.Fortunately, Bao Cong didn't carve stones in the illusion at the time, otherwise he had read the layout of the imperial palace first and forgot to draw the imperial palace, then he would have committed a serious crime of beheading!

Lin Daiyu finished appreciating the map, but shook her head and said: "I see this thing, it is an amazing masterpiece. If it is presented on the New Year's Day, it will only entertain the emperor and those nobles in the palace, which will ruin the strength of this masterpiece. Why don't you go out of the year and make a solemn report at the court, so that you can live up to your hard work!"

Bao Cong asked casually to find something to say, and now hearing that what Lin Daiyu said made sense, he nodded and said, "It's okay, it's too late to finish the painting a year ago, why don't you finish it slowly after the next year, and then go to the court meeting?" Make an offering."

Carefully putting away the map, Bao Cong pulled Lin Daiyu to talk about Yuanchun. Lin Daiyu listened and said: "The child is so pitiful. He has been plagued by illness since he was born, and now he has to be separated from his mother."

Lin Daiyu felt the same about these two things, and when she thought of the past, she also felt sad.

Bao Cong didn't want her to think of sad things, so he told her about a few happy events, saying: "On the way, Liu Xianglian has already made a decision, which is a pair of mandarin duck swords passed down by his ancestors. He returned to Beijing earlier than me, and entered Beijing She should have gone to the Jin family to propose marriage and set a date for the marriage, but I don't know when it will be."

Lin Daiyu joked: "Sister Yuanyang is really a happy event, but Qingwen and Qingshuang are still quarreling, and it is even more difficult for Chen Pingping and Heinger to get together. Where did these two joys come from? There is no one! "

But Bao Cong said: "I will make the decision for Qingwen for her. Everything else is fake. She almost died this time. Could it be that Qingshuang can't see her own intentions clearly? Does it really have to wait until someone dies?" Regret? I will suppress the man and tell him to get married first!"

Speaking of Chen Ping's wish again, I had to sigh a few more times.Bao Cong rejoiced and said: "Fortunately, Second Sister You is soft-tempered and easy-going. It doesn't matter if Auntie is there. I just need to find a way to get Second Brother Lian to agree."

Lin Daiyu didn't speak, just looked at Baocongle.Bao Cong couldn't help asking: "What are you laughing at?"

She smiled and said, "I already have a good idea."

Bao Cong hurriedly asked, "What's the best way?"

Lin Daiyu didn't say anything, but started talking about something else: "I went to Sister Bao's place a while ago, and I met Ping'er leading Sister Qiao to talk. Now she only takes care of Sister Qiao, and ignores the others. Compared with the old days Leisurely and quiet. You said that Chen Ping wanted to marry her, so you should ask her what she means."

Bao Cong said: "That's exactly the reason, and I think so too. It's just that it's not convenient for me to ask, and I have to entrust this matter to you."

But Lin Daiyu said: "It's better to ask Zijuan to ask me. If I ask seriously, everyone will know, and there will be gossips if I go to say hello. Wouldn't it be more convenient to give her some tricks and ask quietly by the way?"

Bao Cong nodded, and said, "You're right." Then he asked her what the method was just now?

Lin Daiyu just laughed, but still didn't say anything, and said: "Don't be impatient, I'll explain the case when she approves, or it won't be in vain?"

Alas, I just like to see him with a puzzled face and can't get an answer, the way he is suffocated!

My daughter-in-law likes to play with me, so Bao Cong has no choice but to admit it.

However, he couldn't swallow the anger of always losing to Lin Daiyu, so Bao Cong changed his mind, raised his chin, and said arrogantly: "Ha! I remembered! I brought back a box of new books for you , but if you don’t speak the scriptures and make me uncomfortable, I won’t give you that box of books!”

As for other things, Lin Daiyu is not rare, only books can poke her heart.As soon as he heard that Bao Cong had brought back a box of books, he didn't care what he was saying, so he opened the door of the study and asked Dong Ming, "Where is the box of new books that Bao Cong brought back?"

Dongming said honestly: "It has been carried to grandma's study, sister Zijuan put it away! Didn't you see it?"

Lin Daiyu took back the steps she had taken halfway, and looked at Bao Cong with a half-smile, as if to say: You are stupid, that box of books is already in my territory!
