Drunk in the Red Chamber Lying on Beauty's Lap

When Baoyu came to Beijing Palace, Shui Rong hadn't come back yet.

If other people came to the palace, they would definitely be rejected at this time.

Baoyu is different, for one thing he has a very good friendship with Shui Rong.Shui Rong has told the people in the mansion more than once that Baoyu should receive him as a guest when he comes over.

Secondly, every time Baoyu enters the door, a few taels of silver are always rewarded.The servants in the palace welcomed him very much.

As soon as Baoyu got out of the carriage, a servant came to lead the horse.The steward by the door invited Baoyu to enter the door in advance, and arranged for Li Guimingyan, who followed him, to sit in the porter's room for a while.

Baoyu entered the gate, and before he had gone a few steps, Zheng Yue greeted him.Laughing before saying anything: "The second young master is here, the prince has not come back from court, you can go to the living room and have a cup of tea first."

Baoyu nodded, "Thank you, Steward Zheng."

After entering the living room, I sat on the huanghuali armchair beside me, and a handsome little maid brought refreshments.

Baoyu picked up the teacup and smelled it, and asked curiously, "Qimen black tea?"

Zheng Yue smiled and said: "Isn't it Qimen black tea? The prince suddenly fell in love with this tea a few days ago, and it took a lot of effort to find it. There are not many teas of this kind in the capital, and I don't know how the prince fell in love with it. gone."

Baoyu pursed his lips and smiled, but said nothing else.After taking a sip of Keemun black tea, I felt an indescribably sweet taste in my heart.

Baoyu chatted with Zheng Yue for half an hour before Shui Rong returned home.

Just looking at Tu Fei following behind him, Baoyu was a little surprised.

When did these two become so inseparable?It's not enough to be together at night, but you still have to be bored during the day?

Perhaps it was because the look on Baoyu's face was too weird, Tu Fei couldn't help but coughed and said: "The servants in Shuirong Mansion reported that you came to Beijing Prince's Mansion, so I followed to have a look."

Baoyu suddenly realized.

He just said, Shui Rong and Tu Fei had never had such a good time before.

Shui Rong sat down beside Baoyu, and Tu Fei sat on the other side of Baoyu without waiting.

Zheng Yue found that the atmosphere among these people was a bit weird, and after the servant girl brought refreshments, he quickly found an excuse and left.

Shui Rong smiled slightly, and said, "Baoyu, I'm really happy that you can come to the Beijing Palace."

Tu Fei was not happy when he heard this, he stared and said: "Shui Rong, what do you mean by that? Could it be that Baoyu went elsewhere, and you are going to be angry?"

Baoyu saw that Tu Fei was not in a very sunny mood, so he interrupted quickly: "I came here today to discuss something important with you."

"What's the matter?" Shui Rong and Tu Fei finished speaking in unison, then stared at each other again, and stopped talking.

Baoyu said, "I'm not young anymore. My mother asked me today to see if I'm interested in someone."

"What?" This time it was the same again, but neither Shui Rong nor Tu Fei cared about anything else.The most urgent thing is to listen to Baoyu's words.

Baoyu explained: "There are two sisters in our house, who are about the same age as me. My mother asked me if I was interested in them. If not, I will look for them from other noble families in the capital.

I feel something is wrong.It will definitely take some effort to look at girls from other families, but the sisters in the family are right in front of you.Fortunately, that younger sister is not very old, but my older sister is already old enough to wait any longer. "

Tu Fei turned cold, "Could it be that your mother wants you to marry him?"

Baoyu shook her head, "I've already declined today. But marriage is a matter of parents' orders after all, and the matchmaker's words, I'm afraid my refusal will be of no use."

Shui Rong frowned and said, "Then what do you mean..."

Baoyu smiled: "I think it's best to take a drastic action from the bottom of the pot."

Tu Fei's expression softened, and he suddenly said: "You mean..."

Baoyu nodded: "Yes, as long as my elder sister gets married as soon as possible, she will naturally have nothing to do with me. I came here today just to ask you, is there any family in the capital who is worthy to be with you?" My sister matched."

Gracefully picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said in a warm voice: "Your sister is born and behaved, you can tell me."

Baoyu said: "My elder sister's appearance and talent are the best choices, and the housekeeper is not a problem. She is Ziwei's family after Xue Gong, and now she is in charge of the imperial merchant's errand at home."

Tu Fei snorted: "It's just the daughter of a merchant, and your wife thinks of her as your wife, it's really wronged you."

Baoyu laughed and said, "You marry a daughter from a high family, but you marry a woman from a low family. Although my sister's family background is not first-class, she is outstanding in other aspects. Think about it carefully, is there any suitable candidate in the capital?"

Shui Rong pondered for a moment, and said: "The third son of Wu Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is not married yet. I heard that the third son of his family is good in other aspects, but he is young and can't calm down. The family wants to choose a mature one for him. Steady wife."

Tu Fei also said: "Dingnan General Lin Bin's second son is not married either. It's just that the second young master of his family is a military officer. I don't know if your elder sister likes it."

Baoyu thought for a moment, and felt that the third son of the Ministry of Rites was good.Baochai has been taught by Aunt Xue for many years, so she must know the affairs of the back house very well.She can persuade people to make progress, presumably her parents-in-law will like it.

"I think the third son of Mr. Wu's family is good, but I don't know if his family thinks of my sister."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "If your sister is as good as you said, I believe it will not be difficult. All the affairs of Mrs. Wu's house are decided by Mrs. Wu. Let's find a way to let Mrs. Wu see your sister On the one hand, everything is done.”

Baoyu's eyes turned slightly, "Why don't you find a way to invite Madam Wu to Qingxu Temple in three days. My sister Yuan Chun is pregnant, and I invite my family to Qingxu Temple to pray for her. I think the old lady and the others must be Sure enough."

Tu Fei nodded, "That's a good idea, let's do it this way. I'll find a way with Concubine Jia, and with Mrs. Wu, I'll let you dissolve in water."

Shui Rong smiled leisurely, "Don't worry. This is a matter of Baoyu's life, how dare I not devote myself to it?"

Baoyu secretly rolled his eyes.

It's obviously Sister Bao's lifelong event, why is it his again?

Things finally came to light, and Baoyu heaved a sigh of relief.With the mind to chat.

"By the way, why did you take so long this morning?"

Shui Rong sighed: "The emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, and there are many people who rely on the old and sell the old and refuse to obey the discipline. After the morning court, the emperor called Tu Fei and I to the imperial study to discuss some things. When your 'softness' is completely lifted, the two of us I’m afraid I’ll have to inspect it outside.”
