Drunk in the Red Chamber Lying on Beauty's Lap

Xingzhi saw that Baoyu hadn't told the truth, but he didn't want to push him too far, so as not to hurt his unrepentant feelings.

Changing the subject, he said, "The dishes here taste very good. Not only me, but also many dignitaries like to have lunch here."

Baoyu rolled her eyes and secretly slandered in her heart, as if you were not a high-ranking official.

It's just that these words can't be said, Baoyu smiled slightly, and followed Xingzhi's words: "Then I will wait and see."

With the face of doing it, the restaurant serves the food very quickly.

Tea-flavored pork rib soup, Sixi meatballs, beggar chicken, chopped pepper fish head, Dongpo pork, the only vegetarian dish is a vegetarian vegetable roll.

Baoyu smiled bitterly.

Does he seem like such a meat eater?

Xingzhi's ability to observe words and expressions is excellent. When he saw Baoyu frowning, he immediately realized that the dishes did not suit Baoyu's taste.

"What's the matter? But what's the taboo?" Xingzhi's voice was very gentle.

Baoyu shook his head, he didn't want to cause more troubles for these dishes.

"It's all right. I just don't know how these beautifully presented dishes taste."

Xingzhi helped him pick up a piece of Dongpo meat, "Try it, this meat is fat but not greasy, it's just right for you to eat."

Baoyu smiled wryly, why is he suitable for eating Dongpo meat?

Pick it up and take a bite, it's crispy and soft, it's really good.

Looking at Baoyu's eyebrows and eyes, Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Baoyu likes this dish very much.

He has to remember it well, and invite him to come over more often in the future.

"Try this ribs again, stewed slowly, it's absolutely delicious."

Baoyu smiled bitterly, but could only eat the ribs again.

Xingzhi fed it slowly, Baoyu tasted it with a wry smile, and within half an hour, he couldn't bear it anymore.

It was only then that he put down his chopsticks.

He found that Baoyu's expression changed very quickly, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling bitterly, sometimes brightening his eyes, but now he was frowning.

So funny.

Baoyu doesn't know the evil taste of doing it.

He usually eats a combination of meat and vegetables, but today he ate so much meat and vegetables, he is really tired.Even if this dish is comparable to delicacies from mountains and seas, it will not work.

After removing the dishes, the shopkeeper served a pot of excellent West Lake Longjing for the two of them.

Baoyu couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "It's okay, it's getting late, I'm going home. If I come home late, my mother will be anxious."

Xingzhi also knew that it was the first time they met, and there was no way to discuss any in-depth topics, so he poured a cup of tea for Baoyu and said, "Don't worry, drink some tea first to moisten your throat."

Baoyu also didn't care about the taste, drank a cup of tea in a hurry, and said goodbye.

Xingzhi didn't keep him this time.Send him outside the door personally, and say to ask him out next time.

After leaving the restaurant, Chen Er was dismissed.Baoyu went to look for Li Gui and Mingyan.

The two of them knew that if they went out with Second Master Bao, they only needed to find a good place to listen to books.Every now and then, there will be silver rewards. After all these days, I have gotten used to it.

"What's new in the mansion today?" Baoyu asked casually.

Li Gui and Mingyan are both good people, ever since they realized that Baoyu seemed to have a special liking for all kinds of gossip in Jia's mansion, they paid close attention to it.

Li Gui said: "Second Master, I heard that Miss Lin has a letter from her family."

"Oh..." Baoyu usually helps Daiyu deliver her letters to the post station, and sometimes inserts Jia Lan's articles, asking Lin Ruhai to comment.

Lin Ruhai was a Tanhua back then and was very familiar with imperial examinations.After Jia Lan's article was commented by him, people immediately felt that it benefited a lot.

Think about it, Lin Ruhai usually only writes back once every two months.This time it was only half a month later, could it be that he wrote in such a hurry because he learned that Daiyu was not doing well in the mansion?

Nope!

Daiyu was in the mansion, and the old lady loved and loved her in every possible way, sleeping, eating and living, all of which were the same as his grandson.Even Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun's three granddaughters can't compare.

And as he got older, Baoyu no longer lived separately from Daiyu inside and outside the bisha cabinet, and asked Jia Mu to let him move to the small courtyard outside the second gate after the new year.

Mother Jia refused at first, but couldn't bear Baoyu's repeated pleas, and said that she would study hard, so she agreed.

It's just that dinner must be eaten at Jia Mu's place, this is her bottom line.

Baoyu naturally followed good advice.

Jia Mu is his biggest backer in the Rongguo Mansion, so it's impossible to please her.

In case that hypocrite Jia Zheng couldn't think about it for a while and wanted to serve him with sticks, he would have a place to hide, wouldn't he?

Back at Jia's mansion, Baoyu went directly to Jia's mother's room without taking a bath and changing clothes.

Both Daiyu and Sanchun were there, and the younger ones chatted and laughed with Jiamu for a while, before leaving to let Jiamu rest.

Baoyu followed Daiyu to her room, pretending to be casual and asking:

"Sister Lin, I heard that my uncle wrote back. How about it, what did the old man say about my writing?"

Jia Lan was not taken seriously at home, so Baoyu often used her own name to send the article to Lin Ruhai, received a reply, thought it over carefully, and then told Jia Lan.

Daiyu and Sanchun play together on weekdays, and for Baoyu who only sees two faces every day, she just maintains respect for her cousin, and does not give birth to other girlish thoughts.

Hearing Baoyu's question, Daiyu handed Lin Ruhai's letter to Baoyu to him.

Baoyu opened the letter, only to see that the words of the above comments seemed to be not as dedicated as before, and finally wrote the four words of being a low-key person.

What does it mean?

Did Lin Ruhai hear any news?

Could it be that someone in Jia's mansion is bullying again?

However, Baoyu is a very quiet person nowadays, and he can't get involved in the affairs of the mansion at all.

Since Lin Ruhai wrote about being a low-key person, he should keep a low profile, and others can't control him if they want to.

Time flies, and January is fleeting.

This month Baoyu lived very peacefully, and did not happen to meet those nobles again.

Escaping from her home school, Baoyu came to Yiran's house.

Baoyu's visit to Yiran this time is the third level of learning Yin-Yang theory with him.

The first two levels of exercises are relatively simple, and Baoyu can comprehend them by himself.But when you reach the third floor, you need to explain it in detail, otherwise you will lose a little bit and go a long way.

Just when Yiran was about to perform exercises with Baoyu, Huan Yi hurriedly knocked on the door and walked in.

Huan Yi can be regarded as Yiran's confidant, Baoyu seldom sees him, and seems to have been helping Yiran with business matters outside.

Huan Yi has always been very measured, and has never entered without waiting for Yi Ran to speak.Coming in in a hurry this time, it must be a big deal.

Yi Ran sat upright, and asked lightly, "What's the matter?"

Huan Yi glanced at Baoyu, a little embarrassed.

"Go, come with me to the study."

Yiran took Huan Yi away, and Baoyu took a book to read sullenly.But I couldn't see it.

What is the matter?Let Huan Yi be so mysterious.

The same is true for the master. He knows that he wants to hear it, but he doesn't like it.

But Baoyu's depression didn't last long, and the news spread throughout the capital the next day, the emperor took the throne, and Prince Rong ascended the throne.
