Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Although Daiyu felt that what Wang Xifeng said made sense, she absolutely dared not admit it.

"If you hadn't invited not only Sister Guangbao this time, but also other people who were very busy, and I was the only one who had some leisure, how could I have chased after you so quickly!"

It's just that despite being outspoken, she still revealed her true intentions, busy and secretly observing the expressions of Xifeng and Baochai.

Seeing that neither of them seemed to be able to hear them, and they didn't care about the deep meaning hidden in her words, she was both happy and sad.

At this time, Baoyu was not in Jia's house, but in Liu Xianglian's house.

All his family friends knew that he had to stay at home and be with Jia Mu on his birthday, so they celebrated his birthday one day earlier.It happened that Liu Xianglian lived alone, and although the house at home was not too big, it was big enough for everyone to have a feast, so everyone simply came to Liu Xianglian's place.

Recently, there has been quite a calmness before the storm in Kyoto.

Some children from aristocratic families who have always been playful are mostly restrained by the elders in the family, and they dare not be too reckless.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to celebrate Baoyu's birthday today, it is rare for these princes and grandsons to gather and have fun like this.

Wei Ruolan is also on good terms with Baoyu now, so she is free to be invited.

But there was also a handsome young man with affectionate brows and eyes in the table, who was a bit unfamiliar.

After a few more glances, Wei Ruolan recognized him.

Isn't this young man the secret agent of Nan'an County King, who was rewarded by the emperor to King Zhongshun. During this time, he was frequently invited to various palaces, as well as Jiang Yuhan, who performed in operas in other lords' families, and his stage name was Qiguan?

Because the Jia family specially raised a good small theater troupe at home in order to welcome the visiting relatives in Yuanchun, Jiang Yuhan was never invited to the mansion by the Jia family.

And this Liu Xianglian has always had the habit of performing on stage and singing. Because of this, he met Jiang Yuhan and knew Baoyu's temperament, so he specially invited Jiang Yuhan to his home today.

After all, the real purpose this time is to celebrate Baoyu's birthday. Liu Xianglian told Baoyu a little later than the others. When Baoyu came to Liu's house, the others were already waiting.

For a while, Baoyu had to punish himself with wine to make amends, and the others also wanted to toast him. Finally, it came to an end, and Liu Xianglian had time to introduce Jiang Yuhan to Baoyu.

Still following the drinking order, after drinking a few rounds of wine, Baoyu went out to relieve his hand, and Jiang Yuhan followed him.

When carrying out the drinking order earlier, Jiang Yuhan didn't say much about "flowers blowing people know that the day is warm", and other people at the banquet pointed out that the big girl next to Baoyu was named Xiren. Baoyu already had a deep impression of Jiang Yuhan, and he liked it. Jiang Yuhan was elegant and elegant, and knowing that he was a Qi official whom he had been interested in before, and only wished he could not see him, Baoyu was already looking forward to finding an opportunity to communicate with Jiang Yuhan in private at the Baoyu table.

Now that the two of them are outside the table together, he has a lot to say.

Jiang Yuhan also intended to get close to Baoyu, only to realize that today is to celebrate Baoyu's birthday, but he still came at Liu Xianglian's invitation, and followed Baoyu out on purpose.

After all, this is not a good place to talk. Jiang Yuhan said nothing, so she took the initiative to take off the red sweat towel around her waist and changed Baoyu's pine flower sweat towel. Fang pushed Baoyu and said with a shy smile: "You go back first , I will go back again, and don’t let them find out. Let’s talk better some other day.”

Baoyu was already happy when she got the sweat towel, and she also understood that once other people knew about it, she would make fun of herself first, so she only looked back at Jiang Yuhan several times reluctantly, and then returned to the banquet.

Jiang Yuhan stood outside for a while, looking at the flowers and plants planted in Liu's yard, her smile faded a little earlier.

He sighed softly, although he was distressed that he was forced to sacrifice his life for the King of Nan'an County, but he also knew that with his own strength, he could not escape the control of the King of Nan'an County, and he did not dare to seek help from other honorable figures, so he could only continue to sing as a means of acting. Because of this, he frequently went to high-ranking and big families, and by virtue of his status as an actor, he entertained the prince and grandson, so as to exchange information for the king of Nan'an County.

Previously, the King of Nan'an wanted him to try to find some information inside the Jia family, but he didn't find a chance to get acquainted with Baoyu, so he delayed until now.

Today I really saw Baoyu, but Jiang Yuhan was a little hesitant.

He plays a lot on occasion, but he can see Baoyu's innocence. Even though there are stubbornness, he is still a rare piece of sincerity, which is by no means comparable to other people.

If he really wanted him to use Baoyu, he couldn't bear it.

But this bit of unbearable was put away by him in an instant, and the melancholy on his face dissipated, he put on a drunken smile again, returned to the banquet, and continued to exchange glasses with the murlocs.

When Baoyu finally returned home, although he heard Daiyu coming, he only took two drunken steps, pulled up his clothes, smelled the smell of alcohol on his body, and began clamoring for a bath.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, he collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.

Xiren tidied up Baoyu's clothes, and he saw at a glance that Baoyu had gone out, but the sweat towel tied around his waist was not the one he had prepared for Baoyu before, so he immediately got sullen and quietly hid the big red sweat towel .

When Baoyu woke up, she didn't bother to look for the sweat towel, so she changed her clothes and combed her hair to find Daiyu.

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, where there are lush green bamboos, he wasted no time, only to hear Zijuan, who was left in the pavilion by Daiyu, say that Daiyu and Baochai went to Changcui Temple to find Miaoyu for tea.

Baoyu sat and waited for a while, but Daiyu didn't come back. He wanted to look for it in Changcui Nunnery, and he knew that Miaoyu's temperament was different from others. Little girl, once Daiyu comes back, she must speak to him before returning to her courtyard.

He chatted and laughed with the little girl in Yihong Courtyard for a while, but he didn't see Xiren. Baoyu hurriedly looked for him, and then saw Xiren lying on his side on the couch, facing the inside, even though he heard his voice, he still refused to turn around. come.

Baoyu unknowingly slowed down his pace, and recalled that when he came back after being drunk, he had done something that made Xiren angry. "Good sister, what's the matter? Could it be that the steak girl offended you? You just tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson."

Xiren was still angry about the sweat scarf. After hearing Baoyu's words, he really got up and wanted to go out again. He quickly followed suit and sat on the couch and said, "Come back! This matter has nothing to do with those little girls. , you should stop taking out your anger on them."

Baoyu turned back with a smile, sat down facing the attacker, took the attacker's hand and asked, "What's the matter? I just came back from outside. How can I see you angry?"

Xiren looked at him, how could he not know that it was bad luck that he just said that he was going to find the little girl, and he was just trying to lure himself to talk to him?

Although she was annoyed in her heart and had always been closely related to Baoyu, she was a rare person in this room who could control Baoyu a little bit, but she also knew that Baoyu was the master, and she was just a servant girl, no matter how hard she tried to get big in front of Baoyu. There is a limit, so he sighed and was about to take his hand out of Baoyu's.

Baoyu still refused to let go, and the attacker said angrily, "I'll show you something. If you don't let go, how can I get it for you?"

Then Baoyu let go of his hand, watching Xiren take out a big red sweat towel from under the pillow.

The attacker stuffed the sweat towel to him, and turned his head away: "Since you have a new one, why don't you return mine?"

He froze for a moment, blushed immediately, touched his waist, and recalled that the sweat towel he was wearing earlier was indeed not the one Jiang Yuhan gave him, and only then did he understand why Xiren was angry.

He messed around with Xi Ren last night, and when he got up in the morning, he deliberately made Xi Ren blush, and deliberately changed the sweat towels of the two of them, but he didn't think of this when he changed sweat towels with Jiang Yuhan today.

However, it was not easy for him to ask Jiang Yuhan for the happy Songhua sweat towel back, so he could only smile flatteringly: "That one is gone, I will pay you another one at another time."

Xiren sighed again, and said, "I knew you were going out today, and I didn't know who you were fooling around with. You should be more calculating."

Baoyu nodded repeatedly.

However Xiren looked at him, and knew that he didn't really listen to what he said, so he didn't say any more, just got off the low couch, turned around and chatted with other little girls.

It's just that the melancholy in her heart can't be dispelled no matter what.

She had long regarded Baoyu as someone who could be entrusted to her for life, and even once quarreled with her father and brother for Baoyu, refused her father and brother to redeem herself, and threatened Baoyu to study further by thinking that she might leave.

But Baoyu was the same as before, always being pushed hard, she worked a little harder, but as long as she worked hard at home, she didn't pay attention a little bit, and other little girls wanted to disturb Baoyu.

If she was always by Baoyu's side, but Baoyu would tease her from time to time, she would not be willing to study at ease.

If Baoyu is allowed to study outside, many princes from aristocratic families will invite Baoyu to invite him, and some idle and wandering people will also come to Baoyu to play, and they will also not be able to study.

That's all in the past, Xiren was like everyone else, but I told myself in my heart that it was just that Baoyu was young, so Fang was a little mischievous.

I only regret that even Jia Lan has made great progress now, Baoyu is not ashamed to be an uncle, and he is not ashamed, acting as before, Xiren has some doubts, not knowing whether his past choices were right or wrong.

Things like this won't bother Xiren for long.

She refused to be redeemed, and she no longer planned to leave Baoyu's side.

Even if Baoyu feels that there are many places that do not conform to the traditional way, he is only going to guide Baoyu slowly.

Besides, the next day was Baoyu's birthday, and she was even more unwilling to quarrel with Baoyu during this period.

Even at night, Baoyu took advantage of her to fall asleep, and quietly tied the big red sweat towel around her waist. She didn't go to Baoyu again, but put the sweat towel in her box, and prepared it for Baoyu again. birthday thing.

In changcui'an, people were sent away, and Baoyu was sent a birthday message.

This post was sent early, and Baoyu saw it as soon as she got up, and took the post to think about it, but still didn't know how to respond.

After much deliberation, she couldn't come up with an idea. Baoyu wanted to ask Baochai for advice, but she was afraid of being criticized by Baochai for being absurd, so she decided to be close to Daiyu's place. Unfortunately, he couldn't see Daiyu yesterday, so she simply refused. After reading the post, I went to find Daiyu.

But before he entered Daiyu's room, he could hear laughter inside.

"Sister Bao, the hairpin is wrong, the hairline is wrong, don't scratch me, ah!"

"You said you knew your mistake, but when did you really change it? It's better than that fellow Baoyu to coax people."

"Huh? Could it be that you were coaxed by Baoyu?"

Baoyu was about to listen carefully, when a woman came over and persuaded, "Second master, the girls are still in the room, please sit outside for a while, we ask the girls to pack up and come out earlier. "

Although Baoyu heard that the other person was Baochai from his voice, he still asked, "Is that Sister Bao in there? Did she stay with Sister Lin last night?"
