Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

When Xue Baobao read novels before, he often saw medicinal jade with similar functions.

In real life, it is almost impossible for a piece of jade to achieve such functions. When Wang Ziteng suddenly heard what he said about "Southern Border Chieftain" and "strengthening the body", he was very surprised and thanked him happily.

Later, she will study carefully what the ingredients of this legendary medicinal jade are, and whether it is as magical as the legend says!

After Wang Ziteng left, Xue Baobao couldn't wait to go back to the house and look back and forth with the piece of medicinal jade.

Medicinal jade is an inexplicably attractive crystal black color, irregular in shape, yet inexplicably very harmonious and beautiful.

Wang Ziteng said that this piece of jade was made of nature, and Xue Baobao thought it was very possible. Only natural things can have such uncut beauty.

In this era where there is no high-tech equipment, Xue Baobao really wants to chisel off a piece, grind it into powder, or taste it to judge what ingredients are inside.

But she looked left and right, but she couldn't bring herself to touch such a beautiful thing.

After thinking about it, I took a bowl, filled it with some water, and soaked the medicinal jade in it. Let's see if there is any change in the water tomorrow.

……

……

Early the next morning, Miss Yang's invitation was sent to the Xue Mansion, inviting Xue Baobao and Zhen Yinglian to watch the lanterns together on the night of the Lantern Festival. She also specifically stated that she also invited Lin Daiyu.

Xue Baobao asked Ying'er to go to the Lin Mansion to ask Lin Daiyu. After learning that Lin Daiyu wanted to go, he replied and agreed.

Lin Daiyu wrote another long letter to Xue Baobao, saying that Tan Chun and Zhen Yinglian were inconvenient, so it was better for her to start their poetry club.

The day was set on the [-]th day, which happened to be the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival. Xue Baobao must come, and if he couldn't write a poem, he would be fined with alcohol.

Xue Baobao, "..."

Haha, Sister Lin wants to break up with her!

……

……

Soon, the Lantern Festival will arrive.

The festive flavor of the modern Lantern Festival has become very weak. The most hateful thing is that when Xue Baobao was studying, school started on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month almost every year. He couldn't even have a reunion dinner with his family and was uneasy.

In the Great Xiao Dynasty, the Lantern Festival was an important day that was not inferior to the Spring Festival. It was also a rare good time for ancient women to be free from restraint and travel at will at night.

Usually it starts from the age of fourteen and lasts until sixteen.

Sometimes the emperor was in a good mood and would extend the time.

For example, this year, because Baoduan returned from illness, the Supreme Emperor and Queen Mother Yang were happy and ordered the celebration of the Lantern Festival to be extended for two days, from the [-]th to the [-]th.

A pair of pagoda lanterns with a height of dozens of feet were set up at the intersection and end of the busiest Zhengyang Street, which keep the lights on day and night.

On the evening of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the lights of the pagoda lamps were turned on early, and the Xue family could see clearly from several miles away.

Lin Daiyu also saw it, and immediately couldn't sit still, urging Xue Baobao to set off.

Xue Baobao was also a little unable to sit still. This was already her fourth year in the Red Mansion World, but she had been on the road during the Lantern Festival in the previous two years.

Last year, I stayed in the deep mountains and old forests. This was the first time I had the opportunity to watch the ancient Lantern Festival.

Both of them couldn't sit still anymore, so they went to find Mrs. Xue together.

Mrs. Xue saw that they were happy and left them alone. She only told them repeatedly not to run around or get separated from Xue Pan, and also warned those who were following them to follow closely.

The two of them agreed repeatedly, ordered someone to call Xue Pan, got in the car and went straight to the busiest Zhengyang Street.

It was not dark yet, but the streets were already full of people, and the carriage was going very hard.

Lin Daiyu would lift the curtain and look out from time to time, and said anxiously, "How about we don't take the car and just leave? When will this happen?"

Xue Baobao didn't care. She could climb Shennong Mountain all day long, let alone walk a few steps?

So, the two of them spoke to Xue Pan and got out of the car.

As soon as she got off the car, the hustle and bustle of the street rushed towards her face. Lin Daiyu stood there for a while, took off the mask from her waist and put it on.

Xue Baobao thinks that women in ancient times were accustomed to wearing curtains and hats when going out and getting off the car, and they were always wrapped up tightly so that no one could see their appearance.

Lin Daiyu suddenly wasn't used to it when she suddenly said you could go out for a walk.

In order to successfully disguise herself as a lady, Xue Baobao also put on a mask.

Nan Xing came over, looked at Lin Daiyu's mask, then looked at Xue Baobao's, and said excitedly, "This is fun, I want it too!"

Xue Baobao smiled good-naturedly and said, "Okay, I'll buy it for you when I see it."

"I have money!"

Nan Xing patted the money bag on his waist and said with a cheerful smile, "Steward Xue gives me money every month, a lot!

Sure enough, just follow the girl. In the past, Butler She wouldn’t give me any money, and would only ask me to practice kung fu! "

Xue Baobao, "..."

When you were in Shennong Mountain before, I'm afraid you didn't even know what money was for, right?

The streets are full of people, and vendors running around can be seen all the time.

Nan Xing bought a Maitreya Buddha mask from the seller, and also bought two iron whistles. He wore one for himself and gave another to Xue Baobao. He said happily, "There are many people today. Girl, if you call me and I can't hear you, just call me." Whistle, I promise you’ll hear me!”

Xue Baobao, "...you are not allowed to run around. If you get slapped by a flower, you will never come back."

Nan Xing was so frightened that he hurriedly asked what Paihuazi was about. After asking, he smiled disdainfully and said, "Don't tell me that Paihuazi can't get close to me unnoticed.

Even if I could, my master gave me a lot of medicine, so I’m not afraid of any intoxication at all! "

Xue Baobao's heart moved slightly. She had never forgotten that Yu Xin was inexplicably attacked and his pulse was weak for no reason.

She has never forgotten that Baozhuang is definitely a master of pharmacology. She is the only one who cares about her life. If Baozhuang doesn't tell her, she doesn't dare to ask.

And Nan Xing's words undoubtedly proved once again that Baozhuang was definitely extremely accomplished in pharmacology.

What kind of medicine should be taken so that a person is not afraid of being drugged?

Xue Baobao felt itchy in her heart, but she was still timid and did not dare to ask further questions. She said perfunctorily, "Then you can't run around and watch me carefully. Otherwise, I will be photographed by Huazi and you will never see me again." ".

As expected, Nan Xing became nervous and repeatedly promised that he would take good care of her.

They didn't go far, and there were more vendors visible to the naked eye on both sides, many of them selling food.

Xue Baobao had never eaten snacks on the streets of Beijing. He suddenly felt energetic and said excitedly, "Nan Xing, let's get started!"

From thirteen to seventeen, five days and four nights, she must eat the snacks in the capital from beginning to end!

I can only ask the waiter to pack up and buy something to eat every day. It is really frustrating and the taste is much worse!

"What kind of work are you doing? Can you take me with you?"

A familiar voice came, and Xue Baobao turned around subconsciously. An evil ghost mask appeared almost close to her eyes.

Xue Baobao was startled. He subconsciously reached out to push me and cursed angrily, "Why are you so close? Do you want to scare me to death?"

Baozhuang took off his evil ghost mask, pointed at her and laughed, "You are scolding me, don't you remember that you are a lady?"

Xue Baobao, "..."

You are still so happy after being scolded, Master, are you really shaking like this?

As soon as Baozhu took off his mask, Xue Pan and Lin Daiyu immediately recognized him and hurriedly wanted to salute.

<divclass="contentadv">Baozhuang smiled and waved his hand, "No need to salute, the poor monk wants to have a good time and doesn't want to be recognized."

As he said that, he put the evil ghost mask back on. Xue Pan and Lin Daiyu went to see Xue Baobao. When they saw that Xue Baobao really stopped being polite, they stopped moving.

At this time, a handsome young man in his early twenties ran over in a hurry, calling his cousin as he ran.

When he ran up to him, he shouted angrily at Baozhuang, "What are you doing running so fast? You were slapped by Huazi, and the lives of my whole family are not enough to compensate!"

Baozhuang raised his palms and saluted with a good attitude, "It turns out that the poor monk saw Sister Xue and was so happy that he walked away quickly. My cousin forgives me."

Xue Baobao, "..."

But just after a year, why did she change from Donor Xue to Sister Xue?

The handsome young man had no choice but to return the favor with restraint, then saluted Xue Pan and others, and introduced himself, "I am Yang Jinping, I have met all of you."

Called Cousin Baozhuang, and also surnamed Yang, Xue Baobao and others immediately understood his identity - the young master of the Chengenhou Mansion, the nephew of the Queen Mother Sheep, and the younger brother of the Queen Mother Sheep!

Xue Baobao and others quickly returned the gift, and Yang Jinping's eyes swept across Xue Pan's face and fell on Xue Baobao.

After a brief pause, he looked at Lin Daiyu again, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his handsome face.

Xue Baobao, "..."

Well, my sister Lin is so good. She can even impress a young master from the Yang family by showing half of her face!

Yang Jinping was clearly well-educated, and he immediately came to his senses and returned his gaze calmly.

"Sister Xue, what kind of work did you just say?"

Xue Baobao, "..."

Please, you are not Jia Baoyu, my sister is not allowed to scream!

Xue Baobao said with a dull face, "Oh, I saw a lot of delicious food sold here and wanted to buy some to try."

Baozhuang was eager to try, "I want to try it too! Sister Xue, look, I've lost weight because of hunger!"

Baozhuang didn't lie. In just ten days without seeing him, he had lost weight and his chin had become thinner.

It must be difficult to eat raw again!

Baozhuang has a tricky tongue. As long as it is not made by her, he will eat it as soon as it touches his mouth, and then he will not eat it raw.

Lin Daiyu's impression of Baozhuang was still in the huge aura when she listened to his sermons and the horror of the Queen Mother Sheep wanting to marry him. Now she saw that he was easy-going and easy-going, and she couldn't help but be surprised.

She was even more surprised to see him talking and behaving intimately with Xue Baobao. A pair of smart eyes circled around Baozhuang and Xue Baobao.

Baozhuang didn't pay attention to her at all. He took off the purse from his waist and shook it at Xue Baobao, "Sister Xue, I brought a lot of money, enough for the two of us to eat until tomorrow!"

Xue Baobao, "..."

Just the two of us?

Forget it about Xue Pan and Sister Lin, aren’t you even planning to invite your cousin?

At this time, the colorful lights on both sides of the street lit up one after another, making the already lively atmosphere even more festive.

This was the first time for Xue Baobao to experience the lively and prosperous Lantern Festival in the ancient capital. Everything he saw was fun and everything he ate was delicious.

Baozhuang was obviously also very happy. Throughout the night, Xue Baobao had been with him day and night for nearly two years, and he had been able to figure out some of his temperament.

Although Baozhuang always wore a mask, she could feel that he was really happy.

Baozhuang was very happy and said enthusiastically that he wanted to try delicious food with Xue Baobao.

As a result, Xue Baobao ate from the street to the end of the street, from the first street to the last street, but he only paid from the street to the end of the street, from the first street to the last street. I’ve never seen him take the initiative to put anything in his mouth!

He only managed to eat a few snacks that Xue Baobao strongly recommended. Even so, he would never take a second bite!

When Xue Baobao asked him, he only said one thing - it's not delicious.

Later, Xue Baobao didn't bother to care about him anymore and ate his own food.

Well, these are all kinds of snacks that are just like the fireworks of the world, and you feel good when you eat them.

Xue Baobao was eating happily and happily. When he suddenly turned around, he found that Lin Daiyu and others were gone, leaving only Bao Zhuang carrying a money bag and Nan Xing who was eating a lot.

Xue Baobao was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Lin Daiyu had gone to guess riddles. She was worried and asked Xue Pan to follow her closely, while Baozhuang continued to eat with her.

"What time is it?"

"There's still a quarter of an hour until midnight."

Xue Baobao looked at the pastry box in his hand and laughed dumbly, "I really have to eat this until tomorrow!"

Baozhuang shook the money bag in his hand and said, "There is enough money."

This was his first time paying money. He never knew that just paying money could be so fun!Make him wish he could pay every day!

Xue Baobao looked at the brightly lit streets. The streets were brightly lit at this time, but there were many people there. They were crowded everywhere, "Let's go back. Sister Lin doesn't know if she won the riddle or not."

Baozhuang nodded, and Xue Baobao looked at the evil ghost mask he wore tightly and couldn't help but said, "My lord, are you really not going to try anything else?

Let me tell you, you are just used to eating what I cook.

Although what I cook is good, what others cook is also delicious. You will get used to it if you try it more."

Baozhuang shook his head, "I've tried it, but I'm not used to it."

Xue Baobao, "..."

Master, if you chat like this, it will easily lead to boredom.

Xue Baobao took a vicious bite of the pastry box and spoke again, "You have to get used to it even if you're not used to it. Do you want me to stay in Cining Palace and cook for you every day?"

Baozhuang blinked, "How is that possible?"

Xue Baobao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the master could not be as crazy as she had imagined. He was going to trap her in Cining Palace just because of her stuttering.

Unexpectedly, before her words left her throat, she heard Baozhuang happily continue, "I have already made an agreement with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother will adopt you as an adopted daughter and make you the princess. In this way, I will also be your brother!

When the time comes, I will build my palace next to Xue's mansion. When it's time to eat, I will build a ladder and go there! "

Xue Baobao, "..."

There are so many notches that I don’t know where to start.

Baozhuang continued, "The Empress also likes you very much, and said that if we in the Great Xiao Dynasty had not had the precedent of female princesses being granted the title of princess, she would have made you a princess!

Neither the queen mother nor the emperor father has a daughter, which has always been a pity, but now that I have you, it is just the right time."

Xue Baobao, "..."

Why is it just right?

She didn't think it was right at all!

Xue Baobao hurriedly stopped Baozhuang's words, "Master, we have agreed before. You release my brother, and I will be responsible for your three meals a day in Shennong Mountain and treat your illness.

It's just a matter of settling the money and goods, so you don't need to do anything extra, let alone becoming the princess.

Please help me tell the Queen Mother that no reward will be given for no merit, I thank her for her grace, but it is not necessary."

Under the mask, Xue Baobao couldn't see Baozhuang's expression. He could only see his burning eyes dimming, and his eyelashes slowly lowered.

"I don't want to be married to you, I want you to be the princess and my sister."
