[Red Chamber] Baoyu is a fake second master

A colored ribbon hangs in the spring water with floating petals, and the colored ribbon undulates with the ripples, like a fish kissing a flower.

Jia Rong was startled, and immediately rushed up: "Uncle Bao!"

Jia Xichun also hurried forward, but he was a step behind Jia Rong.

Before he ran to the pond, he watched as Jia Rong seemed to have stepped on something.

"Hey, little..." Heart.

Jia Xichun didn't finish speaking.

Jia Rong slipped on her feet and rushed into the pond.

"Puff-"

Face down, Jia Rong slammed into the water, splashing a huge splash.

Jia Xichun: "..."

He quickened his pace and rushed to the pond.

The pond was splashed with water, and there was still moss on it, and it looked slippery as hell.

Jia Xichun took small steps, carefully poking his head to see what was going on in the pond.

The water surface of the pond was broken into thousands of pieces, but the two of them did not come up for a long time.

Jia Xichun frowned, looked around, trying to find something to save her.

But even though he was careful, the soles of his shoes still slipped on the moss, and his whole body fell into the pond uncontrollably.

Jia Xichun swung his arms and pulled out a big windmill, trying to keep his balance.

However, it was of no use.

"Puff-"

Pond triple kill.

Jia Xichun sank into the bottom of the pond expressionlessly, turned around lightly, kicked off the bottom of the pond with both feet, and swam upwards.

A colorful ribbon was floating on the water above his head.

Jia Xichun got out of the water, and the colorful ribbon happened to cover his eyes.

He took off the colored sash, and heard the sound of Jia Rong struggling to save his life.

"Help, help! I, I can't water!"

Jia Xichun: "..."

You don't know how to use water, so you still run so fast to save people?

He sighed, and swam towards Jia Rong expressionlessly.

Jia Rong seemed to have grasped at the last straw and clung to him desperately.

Jia Xichun slapped him directly.

Jia Rong was stunned.

Seeing him calm down, Jia Xichun held his armpit with one hand and the colored sash with the other, and stirred the water, ready to swim to the shore.

Jia Rong: "Wait...wait!"

He looked flustered, "Go to Uncle Bao first, go to her first!"

Jia Xichun kept searching the water surface.

At this time, there was a sudden "crash" not far away.

Jia Xichun and Jia Rong looked in the direction of the voice at the same time.

I saw Jia Baoyu coming out of the pool on the bank, with black hair shawl and wet clothes close to his body.

She pressed the edge of the pool with both hands, pushed hard, and jumped onto the bank. The water droplets on her body bounced back into the pond, splashing small circles of ripples.

Jia Baobao brushed his hair and turned his head, just in time to see the two of them.

She let out a "hey", opened her eyes wide, and asked inexplicably, "What are you two doing in the pond?"

Jia Rong: "..."

Jia Xichun: "..."

Jia Xichun stared at Jia Baobao closely, and said unkindly: "Do you think the two of us want to cool off?"

Like a dead dog, he dragged the listless Jia Rong to the bank of the pool.

A white and soft hand was handed down from above.

Jia Xichun raised his head, meeting Jia Baobao's smiling eyes.

He pursed his lips, and suddenly let go of Jia Rong's hand.

Jia Rong screamed "Wow", choked up several saliva, and clung to the bank of the pool.

Jia Xichun dodged Jia Baobao's outstretched hand, and climbed onto the shore expressionlessly.

Jia Baobao glanced at him and helped Jia Rong climb up.

All three of them turned into drowned rats, standing in rows by the pond, shivering.

Jia Rong shrank her shoulders and asked tremblingly, "What is Uncle Bao fishing for in the pond?"

Jia Baobao looked calm: "I didn't catch anything, I was just playing with water."

Jia Rong smiled bitterly: "Uncle Bao is really...childlike."

Jia Xichun said coldly: "It will only cause trouble for others."

Jia Baobao looked at Jia Xichun.

Jia Xichun lowered his head and picked up Qingping that fell on his clothes.

Jia Rong hurriedly laughed and said: "Ha, he has always been like this, and he has no bad intentions. Don't be surprised, Uncle Bao."

Jia Baobao looked down and stared at the colorful ribbon crumpled in Jia Xichun's palm, and asked intentionally, "Did you two see my colorful ribbon? It seems to have disappeared."

"Yes, is it?" Jia Rong was so cold that she couldn't speak well, and she was still looking around, trying to help her find something.

With a cold face, Jia Xichun shrank her hands holding the colorful ribbon into her sleeves, and said coldly: "If you don't tidy up your own things, who will help you look after them? You are not a child anymore."

Baby Jia: "..."

Can you put down my colorful ribbon before you speak?

"Cough!" Jia Rong coughed hard, and lightly bumped Jia Xichun's shoulder, signaling him to stop talking.

Jia Xichun put his hands together and covered his palms.

My things were taken away, and I still pretended not to know, it was really suffocating.

Baby Jia coughed twice, "Let's go, let's find a place to change."

The shivering two who had been frozen for a long time nodded quickly.

Jia Rong said: "This is close to my place, go to my place, I will order someone to fetch your clothes."

The three of them folded their hands, hunched their shoulders, lined up, and ran towards Rongguo Mansion trembling and swishing.

On the way, Jia Baobao couldn't help asking the system: "What's going on? Why did the baggage thrown into the water disappear?"

When she accidentally fell into the water, she even touched around the place where the bag fell into the water, but found nothing.

The system helped her analyze: "Will it be taken away by someone?"

"Who? It's definitely not Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian."

If the two of them really found this burden, they wouldn't have such a big fight.

"It wouldn't be Jia Zheng either. If he were, he wouldn't have asked me that question in the morning." Jia Baobao ruled out his suspicions one by one.

She suddenly turned her head and asked Jia Rong: "Why do you go to the ancestral hall?"

Jia Rong complained: "It's not my father. It is said that there are rats in the ancestral hall. He doesn't care about anything, so he asked me to see how it is cleaned up."

"Then why did brother Xichun go to the ancestral hall with you?"

Jia Xichun didn't look sideways, with a cold expression, "It's just a walk, the house is full of smog, I didn't expect the ancestral hall to stop, I will go back to the temple soon."

Jia Rong said "Hey", "But, I saw that you were following Uncle Bao all the way."

Just like that, Jia Rong exposed Jia Xichun's background.

The system grinned: "You brat, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Jia Baobao suppressed a smile and peeked at Jia Xichun's expression.

Although Jia Xichun's face remained unchanged, his pupils constricted for a while. If Jia Baobao hadn't been secretly observing him, he might have missed these reactions.

"Oh, so that's the case." Jia Baobao smiled at Jia Xichun's indifferent side face, "I didn't even know that brother Xichun was cold-mouthed and warm-hearted, but he knew he cared about my brother."

Jia Xichun immediately retorted: "I didn't, that's because he was wrong."

Jia Rong: "I didn't... oh—"

Jia Rong, who was kicked by Jia Xichun, cried out in pain.

Jia Rong clutched her stomach, daring to speak out.

Regardless of Jia Xichun's young age, she is a generation older than him.

Jia Rong lowered her head and complained in a muffled voice: "Anyone can bully me..."

He turned his head and saw that Jia Baobao was only looking at Jia Xichun, and didn't know how to comfort him.

He felt even more depressed, frowned, and refused to speak.

Although Jia Xichun acted cold-hearted, he was still young and thin-skinned, so he really couldn't stand Jia Baobao's tight marking.

He gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "What are you looking at?"

Baby Jia didn't answer.

Jia Xichun turned his face away, his black and white eyes were like pure black and white pebbles on the seashore, slightly cool and shiny.

Those eyes stared at her peach blossom eyes without blinking.

The spring tide floods and sea water invades.

"Oh...ah, so you were talking to me?" Jia Baobao rolled his eyes and smiled harmlessly, "Sorry, because you didn't call me, I thought you were talking to someone else."

Jia Xichun said coldly, "Who else is around here? Ghost?"

"Hey, hey!" Jia Rong suddenly let out a dissatisfied voice.

Jia Xichun handed Jia Rong the back of his head.

Jia Rong made a beating gesture to the back of Jia Xichun's head.

Jia Baobao smiled and said, "Brother Xichun, call me to listen."

Jia Xichun looked away.

Baby Jia reached out and rubbed his head.

She originally wanted to get closer to him, but she didn't expect that after touching his head, his expression became colder and colder.

System: "Tsk tsk, host, you really don't understand a man's heart."

After offending people badly, Jia Baobao immediately began to coax: "I didn't mean not to respond to you just now, I was just thinking about one thing."

Only then did Jia Xichun's expression soften a little.

Jia Baobao said solemnly: "I feel that there seem to be a lot more people running into the ancestral hall recently."

Jia Rong said "Hey", "It's not just people, is it? I just heard from the guards of the ancestral hall today that there seems to be a commotion in the ancestral hall..."

He looked around before lowering his voice: "Haunted!"

Jia Baobao's eyes lit up: "What?"

"The servants guarding the ancestral hall said that they saw ghosts in the ancestral hall, as well as the sound of footsteps and water, which was scary."

Jia Rong stared at Jia Baobao worriedly: "Uncle Bao just come to visit during the day, please don't come at night."

Jia Baobao's thoughts sank, and he said to the system: "Did you hear that, someone really took that burden away."

System: "It seems that we are still prepared."

"Who could it be?" Jia Baobao glanced at the place where the name of the mastermind behind the scenes needed to be filled in on the purple task.

But Jia Xichun said: "If you don't do bad things, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. How many bad things have you done in your daily life because you are so afraid of ghosts?"

Jia Baobao asked with a half-smile, "Could it be that brother Xichun has never done anything wrong?"

He grasped the silk sash in his sleeve and said loudly, "No."

Jia Rong said unceremoniously: "Forget it, when I passed by your window before, I heard you telling the Buddha that the disciple has violated the precepts and has sinned. I hope the Buddha will forgive me or something."

Jia Xichun gritted his teeth, and gave Jia Rong a hard look.

System: "Jia Xichun said: 'You really hate me'."

Jia Baobao covered his mouth and laughed with a "poof".

Jia Xichun left the two of them aside, without looking sideways, hurried forward, almost tripping over the threshold.

Taking advantage of Jia Xichun's hearing, Jia Rong took Jia Baobao's arm and whispered, "Uncle Bao, don't trust him, he might be pretending."

"Hmm." Jia Baobao's smile gradually widened, "Thank you nephew for reminding me."

Staring at her smiling face, Jia Rong scratched her cheek and couldn't help laughing.

All three of them fell into the unclean pond and needed to take a bath, so they were separated by a screen, and each bathed in their own bathtub.

Jia Baobao has a system to make cheats for her, so she is not afraid of someone peeking.

However, Jia Rong and Jia Xichun were very unhappy, but they didn't know where the energy came from.

Jia Baobao changed into the clothes Xiren sent him after a while.

She went to the outer room, sat by the mirror stand, lowered her head and played with the comb, she caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye, thought it was some maidservant, and said, "Please trouble me to comb my hair."

Footsteps approached from behind her.

Jia Baobao felt that a gust of hot wind hit her neck inexplicably. Before she could turn around, the wet hair was gently picked up by the person behind her and wrung out with a handkerchief.

Jia Baobao admired in his heart: "This maid's craftsmanship is really good, her strength is neither light nor heavy."

System: "I said you... oh."

He hated that iron could not be made into steel, but she was puzzled.

After the hair was wrung dry, those hands reached out to her temples and rubbed gently.

The heat from her fingertips scalded into the bottom of her heart.

Jia Baobao couldn't help but shivered, all the pores on his body opened up, making him feel very refreshed.

She leaned softly on the mirror stand, half-closed her eyes and said: "Your craftsmanship is really good, if I can take you away, how great would it be?"

System: "Come and go."

Jia Baobao smiled to the people behind him, "Don't get me wrong, I just fell in love with your skill."

System: "Tsk tsk."

Jia Baobao was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but said to the system: "Do you have to think every word I say in a wrong way?"

She glanced at the system, "I don't want to play with the filthy system."

The system was blocked and speechless.

But behind her came a deep and sweet laughter, the laughter almost turned into a silk thread, entwining her gently.

"Is it just manual skill?"

Jia Baobao hurriedly turned his head and saw Qin Keqing's bright smiling eyes.

Jia Baobao's first reaction was to ask, "Is Jia Rong still inside?"

Qin Keqing smiled and said, "Are you afraid of him?"

Baby Jia: "Uh..."

System: "It's not that I'm thinking about it, just look at the conversation between the two of you."

Qin Keqing smiled, "Turn your head away first, I haven't done your hair yet."

Jia Baobao turned his head stiffly.

His slender fingers ran through her hair, and soon tied her hair up.

Jia Baobao turned his head and glanced at the mirror.

A big beauty appeared in the mirror. Three thousand black hairs on the beauty's head were twisted into a bun with loose make-up.

Jia Baobao: "System, who is this person!"

System: "Do you want me to praise you? Well, host, host, you are the most beautiful woman in the world... It's a pity that Snow White is even more beautiful than you."

"It's about this time, what kind of Snow White jokes are you still playing with? Don't you think he tied me up with a girl's bun? Could it be that he knows my gender?"

System: "Don't scare yourself, my cheat is not a parallel import, as long as he is dissatisfied with his favor, your real gender will never be revealed."

Jia Baobao lay on the mirror stage and said listlessly: "Then, here comes the question, do you think he has a good impression of me?"

"This..." The system also hesitated.

"Why don't you try it?"

The system immediately made suggestions for her: "Didn't you say that people in love are blind? You give him a difficult problem to break through his bottom line, and see if he will agree to you."

This is not a bad idea.

Seeing that she seemed to agree, the system asked curiously, "What problem do you have?"

Baby Jia: "Kneel down and kiss my toes?"

system:"……"

"Co-author, do you want to become an enemy directly if you don't want to be a lover?"

"Apart from this, what else is there to break the bottom line?" Jia Baobao's eyes slid over several of his cards, "Do you want to ask if you are willing to try the effect of the skill 'Little Wife Runs with the Ball' for me?"

The system gritted its teeth: "I asked you to test, not to kill you!"

Jia Baobao is serious: "You don't even want to bring the ball for me, how dare you say you love me?"

The system covered its face and completely retreated.

Jia Baobao turned his head, pointed at Qin Keqing's hair and asked, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, are you teasing uncle?"

Qin Keqing smiled lightly, played with her fingers a few times, and immediately untied her bun, "Sorry, Uncle, I was distracted just now."

"So it is."

Baby Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, his words made her heart ache again.

Qin Keqing pressed her shoulders, looked into the mirror with her, and asked her in a low voice: "Uncle, don't you think this bun suits you well?"

Jia Baobao stared at Qin Keqing's face in the mirror, and felt that his eyes were gentle, but he couldn't tell the real from the fake, and couldn't distinguish the depth from the light.

"Nephew and daughter-in-law, let me ask you something."

"Uncle, please tell me."

Jia Baobao weighed several recent events, and slowly asked: "Do you think the abolition of the crown prince has something to do with Xue's coming to Beijing this time?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the room.

Qin Keqing stared into her eyes through the mirror.

He slowly straightened his body, tall and straight like a pine, and his demeanor was like a mountain mist that permeated among the pines, making it difficult for people to understand and grasp.

He said slowly: "If others mentioned this matter to me, I would say that I, a woman, don't understand this."

Jia Baobao glanced at this woman who was taller than her.

"However, if the person who asked about it was uncle." His voice became lower and lower, like a drop of dew on the sound of the strings, the dew trembled and the strings hummed.

"So what if I asked?"

"I would say," he pursed his lips and smiled again, "don't bring up the abolition of the crown prince, especially in front of the royal relatives. This is a taboo."

"As for the Xue family, they went to Beijing to exchange money for status, so there is nothing to worry about."

Qin Keqing tapped the corner of her mouth on the mirror, "The Xue family won't last long, even Xue Baochai, who is the most brilliant in their next generation, is just a little old-fashioned."

Jia Baobao grasped his wrist.

Qin Keqing didn't move, but turned to look at her with a frank and gentle expression.

Jia Baobao raised the corners of his lips and smiled sweetly, "This is strange, why does my nephew and daughter-in-law, a woman who stays at home, know so much?"
