The Royal Merchant of the Red Chamber

But he said that Xiren came back from the outside, and changed clothes and removed makeup for a while.Baoyu ordered the maid to pour Xiren a bowl of boiling tea to drive away the cold.With a smile, he explained the reasons why Qingwen had suffered for her before.Seeing this, Xiren immediately went to Qingwen's room and thanked her again.

Qingwen was feeling depressed, seeing Xiren pretending to be magnanimous and gentle, she couldn't help but sarcasm a few irrelevant words.When Xiren saw Baoyu watching, although he was wronged in his heart, he still took care of his face and endured it.It's just that I couldn't calm down, and after sitting for a while, I shrugged off my tiredness and went back to my room.

She was also a little bit depressed.Originally, today, Ming Yan'er was urged to get Baoyu to sit at their house, so that he could gain face and have the confidence to refute the suggestion of his mother and brother at home trying to redeem him.Unexpectedly, Baoyu didn't cooperate at all. She waited for a long time after exhaustion, but she didn't see half a person.Xiren had no choice but to come back before the lock was locked.Fortunately, the news of my invitation to Baoyu has never been disclosed to others, otherwise I didn't earn face, but added two points of jokes, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

Thinking of this, Xi Ren's face became colder and colder.Nested on the bed by himself, with his face turned inside, he was muffled and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Baoyu couldn't help sitting aside chatting, stretched out his hand to push Xiren's arm, and asked softly, "Why didn't you talk when you came back? Could it be that the family is not doing well?"

After a pause, he sighed again: "That's right. You are all spoiled and spoiled in the mansion. The things in the thatched huts outside are not exquisite, maybe you are not used to it. You will not go back in the future. "

After hearing this sentence, Xiren turned around and smiled at Baoyu: "What are you talking about, Second Lord? As the saying goes, a son does not dislike his mother's ugliness, and a dog does not dislike his family's poverty. Although my family is not richer and more luxurious than those in the mansion, it is still true. They are my biological mother and biological brother. They also said that I would have to endure it for a year, and next year they will come up to redeem me!"

When Baoyu heard this, he couldn't help being shocked and said, "Why do you want to redeem you to go out? Isn't it good here?"

When Xiren saw Baoyu's really moving appearance, he was very relieved.I couldn't help but smiled and said with a smile: "Second Master's words are strange. I was not born in the house. It's just that the family was not good, so they sold me for a few taels of silver to survive. Now that the family has spare money, it is natural to ask for it. I went out."

Baoyu blurted out in amazement and asked: "But what you sold was a death contract! Could it be that the death contract can also be redeemed?"

Xiren was choked by Baoyu's question for a moment, and was dumbfounded for a while, before he forced a smile and said: "Although it is said to be a death contract, our family has never done anything to bully others by relying on power and power, and it is also the most charitable and generous." But I’ve come here since I was a child, and I served the old lady for a few years, then Miss Shida for a few years, and finally I came to serve in the second master’s room. There must be hard work and no credit for so many years. The old lady let me go out for the sake of my loyalty and clumsiness, I don't know, maybe she doesn't even want my money!"

Hearing what Xiren said, Baoyu felt relieved a little, and said with a teasing smile: "If the old lady disagrees, it will be difficult for you to go out."

Xiren laughed and said: "Why not let me go! I am indeed the most rare one, or the old lady has moved her head, so she will not let me go out, or give our family a few taels of silver to keep me, or there may be some. I But he is just an ordinary person, much stronger than me. Why doesn't the old lady let go?"

Baoyu opened his mouth, and before he could speak, he heard someone laughing outside and said: "The old lady is really kind and kind, maybe I let you go out, I don't know. If this is the case, you have to be willing to go out, don't come Sometimes people who are looking for death and life say that the person who was born is the second master and dies is the ghost of the second master. I would rather have my neck wiped and my hair cut off to be my sister-in-law than go out!"

Startled, the two looked outside.

But I saw Qingwen holding a purse containing silver in her hand, standing on the threshold, pinching her waist and laughing: "It's fair and just, you can't even give up a girl who hasn't earned it yet? Then before that, those who cheated on the gods and made a big treason Isn't it a pity?"

The bluffing Baoyu repeatedly waved her hands to tell her to speak softly, and the ashamed Xiren didn't know where to hide with her fair face.

Baoyu sighed and said, "You're the only girl who grinds your teeth. Go out and play your game. If you lose, it's mine. Don't talk nonsense."

When Qingwen heard this, she sneered again and again: "You just protect her! She is the one who knows how to serve the best, and the rest of us are not as good as her, and we are all better than her. If you are so rare about her, quickly open your face and put it on the table. Only when we are in the house can we feel at ease. She has become the master, so she will order us in a legitimate way, and it will also prevent us from getting stuck every other day, and everyone will be uneasy."

With that said, he flung the curtain and went out.

Baoyu and Xiren were left in the room, their faces turning blue and white.

After a while, Baoyu cleared her throat and persuaded: "Qingwen has such a temper, and she forgets it after she has said it. Don't pay attention to her, I know your good. And relax, for my sake Come on, don't just get angry over trivial things."

Xiren cried and said: "If you want to be angry about these things, you can't stand in this room for a moment. It's just a long time, and she just arranges it like this. How can I be good? Second Master understands how I feel about Second Master. .For so many years, all I have been thinking about is the second master. I can't wait to think about it every day, and worry about it every night, and it's hard to tell others. Only the lamp knows what I'm thinking about."

Baoyu was originally a temperament of sympathy and sympathy, and seeing Xiren, who was always gentle and generous, showing such a cowardly and timid appearance, made him even more fascinated.He had to be coaxed and used to it with gentle words, and he responded to Xi Ren's countless requests such as studying hard, not to be so frivolous in the future, and not to slander monks and Taoism, etc. Only then did Xi Ren laugh out of tears.

As for the request not to make rouge or tinker with gouache, Jia Baoyu thought of the two prescriptions designated for rouge gouache every month, and vaguely fooled it.Although Xi Ren was not very satisfied, what happened today was far from what she had planned in her mind.So she didn't dare to go too far, so she had to let it go mournfully.

Xue Pan didn't know that Baoyu refuted the crying complaints of his friends in order to cooperate with him.On his side, there is a more important thing to deal with.

The 21st of the first lunar month is Baochai's birthday. This year is different from previous years.At the Jiji ceremony, it is natural to invite some highly respected people to attend the ceremony.Among them, Lin Daiyu, Baochai's best sister, has been selected as the supporter.As for the main guest, Xue Pan hopes to invite Concubine Min from the palace to be the guest.For this matter, Xue Pan entered Qianqing Palace early in the morning to wait for Tu Zhen.

At that time, Tu Zhen was still courting in the front hall, and under the guidance of the little eunuch, Xue Pan walked into the Nuan Pavilion at the back to guard.

All the ladies in the palace ordered some of Xue Pan's favorite snacks, fruit tea, etc., and then quietly retreated.

Xue Pan lay on the warm kang and waited for a while, then felt sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.

After Tu Zhen came down to court, he immediately got the news that Xue Pan had entered the palace.Turning his feet, he automatically entered the warm pavilion.At a glance, he saw Xue Pan sleeping soundly on the heated kang.A pair of round eyes were tightly closed at the moment, and the bright red lips were muttering, and they would click their mouths from time to time.Presumably it was because of the coldness that his body shrank into a round ball.With his head stuck under the soft pillow and his shoes still on, Tu Zhen looked at Xue Pan in such a shape, and curled his lips in a good mood.

Tiptoing forward, Tu Zhen took off Xue Pan's brocade boots with his own hands, and ordered the maid to bring a quilt to cover Xue Pan carefully.Seeing Xue Pan's brows gradually stretched due to warmth and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, a gentle gleam flashed in Tu Zhen's eyes.Stretching out his hand to caress Xue Pan's fair and tender cheeks, he leaned down and kissed Xue Pan softly.Then he waved his hands with a satisfied expression, and ordered the little eunuchs to remove the fruit tea cakes quietly, and moved piles of memorials to the kang table, while he sat on the opposite side of the kang table, concentrating on reviewing.

When Xue Pan woke up, it was past noon.His belly was growling with hunger, Xue Pan raised his hand, rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned again, and then sat up.Tilting his head and looking at Tu Zhen who was facing him, he smiled and said, "When did the Holy Majesty come down?"

Tu Zhen hooked the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly: "It's been a while. Seeing you sleeping soundly, I didn't want to wake you up. Are you hungry now? I asked the small kitchen to leave some favorite dishes for you , it's hot on the stove!"

With that said, he ordered Dai Quan to send someone to remove the folds from the kang table.Serve some hot dishes.He also added a bowl of Bigeng rice to Xue Pan himself, and he also picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

Seeing this, Xue Pan tilted his head and asked, "Your Majesty didn't eat at noon?"

Tu Zhen took a mouthful of shredded crab meat and double bamboo shoots, put it in his mouth and swallowed it, and said with a casual smile: "Thinking about you, you will wake up in just a while, and it will be sweeter waiting for you to eat together, why bother?" Woolen cloth!"

Hearing this, Xue Pan couldn't tell what he was thinking about, and smiled and frowned, only feeling a warm current spontaneously, but within a short moment, his body was warm and tightly pressed.

Xue Pan was satisfied, and the arrogance and arrogance of begging the tiger to touch the hair spread all over his body in an instant.He walked over the kang table in the middle, climbed to the side of Tu Zhen, kissed Tu Zhen on the cheek, put his arm around Tu Zhen's shoulder and asked, "If possible, can I eat with you every day?" Lunch?"

At the beginning of the film, Tu Zhen stared fixedly at Xue Pan beside him, with a gentle smile on his lips and said: "If you want, I hope you can accompany me to have dinner before going back."

The arc of Xue Pan's lips deepened and expanded irresistibly, and he simply sat down beside Tu Zhen, shoulder to shoulder, knee to knee, and even head to head.Still feeling unsatisfied, he raised his arms to wrap Tu Zhen's emaciated body in his arms, nodded joyfully and said, "Okay!"
