Drunk in the Red Chamber Lying on Beauty's Lap

Time flies, and the Spring Festival is approaching in a blink of an eye.

A few years ago, Jia Zheng's inscription asked the concubine Xiande to visit her relatives, and now she specially grants permission for the concubine Xiande to return to the house to visit her relatives on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the following year.

Because of such a big event, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion is extremely busy this year, and they are afraid that something will go wrong when the concubine visits relatives.

Listening to the sound of firecrackers in the night sky outside, Baoyu leaned on the couch bored.Obviously nothing happened to him, but since the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang have trapped him in the mansion, as if it would be unsafe for him to go out.

One or two days is fine, and now he has not been out of the house for more than ten days.He accompanied Jia Mu to the theater all day, and he was not interested in the essence of Chinese culture. Even after listening to it for more than ten days, his head was about to explode.

Just when Baoyu was thinking about finding an excuse to get out, Mingyan walked in and handed over a post respectfully.

"Second Master Bao, Prince Beijing has posted a post asking you to come over."

Ever since Shui Rong mentioned on that day that he wanted to become a pact brother with him, the two haven't seen each other for a long time.I heard that Shui Rong was sent outside by the emperor on business.

I handed over the post at this moment, and I must have come back.

If it were placed in the past, Baoyu would definitely hesitate whether to pass it or not.But after being tortured by the opera for more than ten days, Baoyu felt that listening to the king of Beijing Jing talk about love was better than listening to the opera with the old lady.Immediately said: "Mingyan, you go and prepare, we will go out now."

..................................................................................................................

Shui Rong's importance to Baoyu is clear to everyone in Beijing Palace who has a face.Seeing Baoyu's car approaching, Zheng Yue hurried up to meet him.

"Second Master Jia is here. My lord has been waiting for a long time." The new year has just passed, and the weather is still cold. Zheng Yue was able to welcome him out in person, which shows his sincerity.

Baoyu smiled and said, "Master Zheng, Happy New Year." Saying this, he handed over a big red envelope.

"Second Master Jia, you are being polite." Although Zheng Yue said so, he took Baoyu's red envelope.

Zheng Yue could clearly see his lord's attitude towards this Mr. Jia, so naturally Zheng Yue would not foolishly refuse Baoyu's overtures.

Baoyu was led by Zheng Yue to the outside of Shui Rong's study, and Zheng Yue respectfully reported: "My lord, Second Master Jia is here."

As soon as Zheng Yue finished speaking, Shui Rong opened the door of the study in person.

Looking at the man who had not seen him for a long time, he was wearing a lavender fur coat and a blue cloak, with a slight smile on his lips, full of the scent of books.Shui Rong was stunned for a moment, and forgot to invite someone in.

Baoyu looked at the dumb look of water melting, and for some reason was a little happy in his heart.

Shui Rong has a gentle temperament and a personable demeanor. If it weren't for his too noble background, Baoyu would be very happy to have a relationship with him.

Even if it is like now, when someone confesses a little, you have to think about it for a long time, because you are afraid that you will not be able to break up if you have a bad temperament in the future, or you will be trapped in an inch of space, unable to move, and lose your freedom.

After a while, Shui Rong still didn't speak, Baoyu couldn't help coughing lightly, and said without words: "My lord, long time no see."

Shui Rong came back to his senses, and found that he had stared at Baoyu for a long time, and his cheeks turned red.He coughed dryly and said, "Baoyu, it's too unfamiliar to call the prince, you'd better ask me to do it."

Baoyu didn't care much about calling Shui Rong, as long as he stopped staring at him.Hearing the words, he nodded and smiled, "Okay, let's go first, shall we go first? It's a bit cold outside."

Shui Rong's face turned red again, and he also realized that he and Baoyu were still standing at the door of the study, it was really a disrespect for hospitality.

"Baoyu, sit down wherever you want." Once in the study, Shui Rong greeted her.

Baoyu thanked him and sat down on the red sandalwood chair next to him.

"Let me come here today, won't you still talk about poetry and lyrics? The poem I made last time is really my limit. If you ask me to do it again, I won't be able to do it."

Shui Rong thinks of Baoyu's last poem, and suddenly can't laugh or cry. "Baoyu, you are really bad. You actually wrote such a strange poem. Now someone has got a new nickname, and it's called Sparrow."

Baoyu knew that he was the one who read the poems that day. Fortunately, Shui Rong was treacherous and did not recite in public, otherwise the nickname would have fallen on him.

Shui Rong caught a glimpse of the smirk on the corner of Baoyu's mouth, but he didn't know what he was thinking.I couldn't help but tapped his head, "What are you thinking? Are you laughing at me in your heart?"

Baoyu rubbed his painful forehead, "Are you really beating?"

"Who told you to play tricks?"

"I played tricks? It's obviously you, okay? What kind of bad questions did you ask? It almost made me lose face in front of everyone."

Talking about this water solution is also a bit embarrassing, "I just want to help you increase your reputation. There are too many poems about singing the wind and the moon, chanting flowers and chanting grass. If you don't make a difference, how can you get everyone's approval?

Who knew you would write such a crooked poem.When I saw the first two sentences, I regretted it to death, because I was afraid that you would be made fun of.However, Baoyu's poetic talent is excellent, and he actually wrote such ironic lines in such a short period of time.There are so many phoenixes.It's wonderful, it's really wonderful, it pinpoints the current disadvantages and hits the point. "

Baoyu originally plagiarized poems out of nowhere, and was really ashamed to be praised by Shui Rong like this.In order not to continue this topic, Baoyu coughed lightly and asked: "You called me over this time, you didn't mean you recruited a bunch of literati?"

Shui Rong looked at Baoyu, and said solemnly: "Baoyu, I will invite you over from now on, and I will never invite anyone else. Only by being alone with you can I have a chance to win the hearts of beauties. Find a bunch of irrelevant people to come over, or It’s really not worth the loss if you score well.”

Baoyu was almost startled by the words of water melting.Beauty heart?Do you mean him?

Shui Rong knew how to measure, and briefly mentioned a topic from last time, so he stopped talking, but talked about the experience of going out this time.It turned out that Shui Rong was sent to the frontier to work in the army by order.

"Baoyu, when I came back this time, I specially brought you a white fox fur. You can put it on later and let me have a look."

Baoyu frowned: "White fox fur? This thing is worth thousands of gold. If I wear it back, I won't be able to explain it."

"Is there anything I can't explain? This king has a crush on you, can't I send you off?"

"Of course it won't work. There are too many children from aristocratic families like me who have been friends with the prince. If I am the only one who gets the treasure that the prince rewards, I am afraid that some bad rumors will be spread by someone with a broken mouth."

"Whoever dares to talk nonsense, I will break his leg." After Shui Rong said bitterly, he said softly to Baoyu: "Baoyu, this fox fur is specially given to you. If you don't want it, I will throw it away." it."

This is the first time Baoyu has seen the unreasonable appearance of water melting, and he finds it very interesting.Such a happy and angry water solution is more like a real person.On weekdays, the virtuous and virtuous corporal, the gentle and polite King of Beijing, is simply like a template of a virtuous king, without any freshness.

"Okay, okay, since you gave it to me, I'll put it in the Beijing Prince's Mansion first, it's okay with the head office."

Shui Rong was still dissatisfied, "Then how do you wear it? I was thinking about the severe cold in winter, and I was afraid that you would catch a cold, so I paid a lot of money to buy it in Beidi."

Baoyu smiled bitterly and said, "I've been trapped in the house by the old lady these days, how can I catch a cold? I'll take the fox fur back later."

Seeing Baoyu's insistence, Shui Rong had no choice but to agree.

Their current friendship is still shallow, and when the relationship develops further in the future, even if they directly give Baoyu a garden, no one dares to talk about it.

While the two were talking, Zheng Yue's voice sounded outside the door: "My lord, everything is ready, please move to the Plum Garden with Young Master Jia.
