[Red Mansions] The prince is polite

A few days later, it was said that it was Jia Fulian's second grandma's birthday, and she came to invite her. Xiao Liu wanted to decline, but she saw Baochai girl walking slowly, standing gracefully among the flowers, half of her face was covered by a beautiful fan, Covering the sun with a smile, he said, "The weather is hot, my brother went to a big family to buy a lot of Tibetan ice, and is about to carve it into various small objects, fill it with various colors and put it in the coolest Shuiqu bamboo forest. Second Grandma's birthday celebration can be regarded as a bit of fun, why don't you and Fourth Master also come to see it for fun?"

When he was still in the palace, on the coldest winter day every year, Yinzhen took Xiaoliu to play sledding together, that is to say, the warm chairs pulled by the masters were thick and covered with windproof leather mattresses. Running on the lake, the wind blowing head-on, you can feel that you are about to freeze into an ice lump with your tongue out. Xiaoliu often curls up in Yinzhen's arms like a kitten, begging for hugs, and Yinzhen is also rare. Laughing loudly, I don't know if he is amused by Xiao Liu's soft appearance, or he is very satisfied with this speed.

But Xiaoliu, who reacted afterwards, grumbled and ignored Yinzhen with a look of displeasure, but Yinzhen always smiled and made people make some clear ice lamps and stuff them into candles to coax him, until the other party showed his face and smiled when he was attracted, he didn't give up. .It's like this every year, one is doting, the other is pretending to be angry and begging for better, the two of them play with each other tacitly and never get tired of it, there is no thought of getting bored with such a simple thing, only since they came out of the palace, they have never played together again .

Xiao Liu thought about it for a while, with a look of nostalgia on his face, he nodded in agreement and said, "If you can invite fourth brother, you will be doing me a big favor. It is fourth brother who makes me laugh, but I never I thought about making him laugh, no wonder he said I was heartless..." After saying that, he turned and went back to his room to seriously write the letter and ordered Shi Mo to deliver it to the fourth brother himself.

Yinzhen in the palace put it on hold after reading the letter, and only let Shi Mo wait outside, but was finally moved by Xiao Shisan's words, "Fourth brother, it's better to be close at times when we are far away, Otherwise, if I don’t go to Sixth Brother this time, I’ve really misunderstood, and my heart to please you will be cold, and it will be troublesome if I want to save you, but this time I won’t join in the fun, I have other things to do.”Yinzhen nodded, then stared blankly at the letter in his hand, not knowing how to reply, completely forgetting to ask Xiao Shisan...

Xiao Liuyi saw the fourth brother who got off the horse and had his robe straightened, and took over the whip. He didn't care about his cold face, but warmly stepped forward to hold his hand and walked towards the ice sculpture.Before walking in, I already felt the cool breeze, but Yinzhen glared dissatisfiedly at the laughter of the female family members from time to time, but he also stiffened his body and let the sixth brother pull in.

Xue Pan was standing in front of the old lady, pointing out the origin of these icy jade pieces and ice sculptures with joy, and just came out with half a poem, and the rest was stuck in his throat after seeing the two brothers. , the heat gradually rushed to his face, so he had to pretend to wipe his face calmly and asked the girl beside him, "Am I dressed like this dignified enough?" Baochai glanced at the two brothers who were walking slowly, and nodded , and his elder brother who was dressed as a scholar stepped forward to salute.

Xiao Liu looked curious, while Yin Zhen quietly looked at him while he was only looking at the little ice sculpture, feeling that the once chubby cheeks had never been restored, a little distressed but helpless.At this moment, a female voice sounded softly beside Xiao Liu's ear, "Master Liu, although this thing looks fun, it's also made of ice, and it froze your hands carefully."As he spoke, he took out a silk handkerchief to wrap Xiao Liu's finger on the ice sculpture.

Xiao Liu withdrew his hand and looked sideways, smiled at the two people standing beside him, and habitually put his somewhat cold hand into the palm of Fourth Brother, Yin Zhen lowered his eyes to cover up the flashing smile .Xue Pan was going to take Xiao Liu, who rarely appeared, to the side to have a good talk, but when Baochai reminded him, he acted coquettishly and said coldly, and went straight to the fourth master, and just now took the little tiger's eyeballs. The playful energy that had been stamped disappeared immediately.

Although Yinzhen had a cold face, he was in a very good mood. He let Xiaoliu get rubbed against him, but he also stood still and chatted casually with Xue Pan. A crooked dandy, but he is also shrewd when he talks about things that make a fortune, one speaks with spit, and the other listens with great interest.Xiao Liu continued to poke at the ice sculpture while listening, and after seeing that the fourth brother was in a good mood to test it a few times, he let go of his courage and stuffed his claws into his cuffs for a while.Yinzhen was twitched by Bing's eyebrows and didn't say anything, but the sixth younger brother was getting less and less twitchy, even crawling up the sleeve while touching his wrist along the sleeve.

Dressing in summer is supposed to be cool, not to mention that you don't need those cumbersome clothes in the palace, but unexpectedly, it was Xiao Liu who got the cheapest in the end.Yinzhen, who had never had his wrist touched before, felt that he was being fooled by the person in his heart, his whole body was stiff and hot, so he could only grit his teeth and slowly backed up half against the wall.But Xiaoliu felt that the fourth brother's wrist felt just right, and he exchanged his palms with one place and changed the other if it felt hot. He still regretted why he only found out that the fourth brother could be used as a cool thing in summer...

Baochai peeked at Fourth Master's jade-colored face slowly turning into clouds and rosy clouds, with sweat dripping from the tip of his nose, and then glanced at Little Sixth Master who was sitting on top of him, smiled and pushed, still talking to himself The brother who kept talking, asked him to take out all the ones he had prepared.Xue Pan scratched his front and smiled foolishly, clapping his hands, and the servants who were not very good at orders came over with plates of things they had never seen before.After Xiao Liu let go to look at it, Yinzhen heaved a sigh of relief, fearing that he would make a fool of himself if he continued to toss, glanced at Xue Baochai, and nodded to her lightly.

Baochai showed two dimples, smiled subtly, and looked at her elder brother, only to see that he was excitedly introducing these weird foods to Little Sixth Master.Xiao Liu looked suspiciously at one of the balls, which was sounding empty and covered with brown hard burrs, and listened to Xue Pan's introduction, "The person who brought this thing back said that it is called a floor ring, and it often pops up in the middle of the night. When sleeping, it fell into the water from a tree several feet high and made a plopping sound, so it was nicknamed casually. Seeing that the locals could eat this thing, they learned to open it. After tasting it, it was very delicious and sweet, and they regarded it as a treasure. Ban Juan brought it back."

At this time, Baochai walked towards Liu Ye with a plate of exquisite cakes of various colors, and the rest was brought by the maidservant.Xiao Liu casually picked a light yellow piece and tasted it. He felt the fragrance of lotus leaves in his mouth, and the taste was also delicate and pure. He quickly slid it into his throat. Satisfied, he picked up another piece and walked towards the fourth brother. Yinzhen put it on. Waving his hand, no, Xiao Liu had no choice but to swallow another piece.

Seeing her appearance, Jia's mother understood a little bit, tasted her mouth, and pretended to be confused, and said, "This treasure girl is dexterous, only one or two points less delicate than the ones in the palace. She has a complete appearance, is virtuous and considerate. I don’t know who will get the better of it in the future.” Baochai blushed when she heard that, and turned her head back, but when she was walking, she occasionally turned around and glanced at Yinzhen through the spun gauze beauty fan, and saw that the man was still expressionless. Standing with his hands behind his back, he just silently looked at Sixth Master...

Xiao Liu, who had tasted the pastry, wiped off the crumbs on his hands, looked at Xue Pan's forehead with blue veins and struggled to poke the hole with a knife, and waited quietly for the next explanation.It wasn't until a small hole was broken in the shell that Xue Pan asked someone to fetch a set of red glazed cups. A stream of juice with a sweet fragrance was slowly poured into the cups, crystal clear and very attractive.Xue Pan didn't stop. After the juice drained, he continued to cut the thing along the hole. Xue Pan, who had never worked before, was sweating profusely and his hands were shaking in this cold room. Non-stop, and finally pulled half of the opening, afraid of being looked down upon by Little Sixth Master, so he just bit the bullet and continued to do it until he took out the white flesh inside and put it into the cup, and then gave it to Little Sixth Master eagerly.

Xiao Liu took it with the corner of his mouth slightly upturned, sniffed the taste, tasted it under the nod of the fourth brother, and blurted out with his eyes widened, "Hey, it's coconut juice, I didn't expect it to come from there, fourth brother, you can taste it too." Taste, it's good to relieve the heat." After saying that, he handed the glazed cup in his hand to the fourth brother, Yinzhen didn't answer, just pursed his lips and lowered his eyes to look at him.

Xiao Liu smiled again and supported the fourth brother's shoulders, stepping on his feet, raised a cup to his mouth, watched the fourth brother sip lightly for face, and wanted to put his hand down, but was held by the waist, so he had to continue to take a sip mouth to feed.At this time, a mournful howl came from outside the house, Xiao Liu shook his hands, Yinzhen quickly took it back and put it aside, his bright red lips were tightly pressed, and he looked at the shaking bead curtain with some displeasure.
