Love the Red House

After a long time, Shui Rong just came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly, and asked: "Miss Lin's temperament is so special, it really makes people sigh, come to think of it, she must be arrogant and extraordinary , A woman who is clean in sight, right?"

Baoyu was stunned for a moment, then Fang nodded and said: "That's right, on weekdays, the cousin of the Lin family really hates dealing with politeness and flattery, and thinks it loses her temper and integrity."

Shui Rong nodded, thought for a while, glanced at Baoyu, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin comes from a noble family, and she has a special temperament. To live in the same house with such a woman, it must be a beautiful thing in the world, right?"

Baoyu was innocent by nature, and when he heard this, he immediately nodded slightly and replied, "What the lord said is very true. My cousin Lin not only has the delicate beauty of Xishi, but also has the talent for reciting poems. Her talent and appearance are rare in the world." Yes, facing her every day, even if I don't say anything, my heart is still happy."

Speaking of this, she raised her thick eyebrows, with a faint smile, and said immediately: "Although Cousin Lin has been estranged from me for no reason these days, she has a beautiful complexion, which is suitable for anger and joy, and makes people fascinated by it. Where are you willing to stay away from her?"

Hearing these beautiful words, Shui Rong was stunned for a moment, and the feeling of admiration spontaneously filled his heart like clear waves in a pond.

Thinking about the woman who had never seen her before, she must be a peerless beauty, with a faint fragrance of books all over her body, and a ray of pure and noble charm like water, which is peerless.

If you are lucky enough to meet such a beautiful woman, you must be insane even if you are not drunk?

When he was leisurely fascinated, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Baoyu's dark eyes, as deep as ink, vaguely revealing infinite love and nostalgia, obviously he has been in love with that Miss Lin for a long time.

Shui Rong couldn't help smiling, raised his eyebrows and said: "Li Taibai's poem says: 'Lang rides a bamboo horse, and goes around the bed to grow green plums. Living together in Changgan, the two little ones have no doubts.' It seems that there should be love between Baoyu and Miss Lin. Excellent score?"

——He is a gentleman as gentle as jade, with a high level of self-cultivation, every move, every word, exudes the bearing and mind that a gentleman should have.

Therefore, when he knew that Baoyu had been in love with that girl Lin for a long time, even if that girl was talented and beautiful, a rarity in the world, he would never feel jealous in the slightest. Instead, he sincerely hoped that Baoyu in front of him, Being able to protect that delicate woman comprehensively, I hope that lovers can finally get married.

Hearing Shui Rong's words, Baoyu's face turned red, and after a long silence, Fang nodded and said, "Your Highness's eyes are like torches, you can guess right away."

She moved her lips and let out a sigh of relief, a deep worry appeared on her face, and her voice gradually became quieter: "When I was young, my cousin Lin and I lived together and were very close. I don't know what she wants to do, it's really frustrating."

Shui Rong thought about it for a while, then smiled and said: "In my opinion, she must have felt that since we are old, if we get too close, the people below will spread gossip, and as a last resort, we had trouble with you."

Baoyu raised his head slightly, raised his eyebrows to look at Shui Rong, and said in a low voice: "Yes, she did say something like this when chatting with me a few days ago, but I don't quite understand it in my heart. Could it be that, just to prevent people from gossiping, we have to Alienated forever?" At this point, he let out a long sigh, his brows and eyes were full of sadness, and he looked sullen.

Shui Rong smiled faintly, his eyes were as bright as a clear spring, he waved his hands and said, "You don't have to worry too much, I know, since the old matriarch in your mansion loves you and Miss Lin very much, I would like to see it come true for you. , Therefore, the estrangement in front of you is only temporary, and it is not worth paying too much attention to. As long as her heart for you is the same as your heart for her, from now on, the two of you will be able to achieve a good relationship and stay together for a long time .”

After hearing these words, Baoyu was very grateful in his heart, but his heart was still knotted, and he said in a low voice: "My lord's words are naturally very reasonable, but the things in our house, the lord must not be too serious. Clear, let me explain in detail."

As he spoke, he sighed, and said gloomily: "In our house, besides the cousin of the Lin family, there is also a cousin named Xue, who is the daughter of my aunt's family, and also came to Beijing a few years ago, with a golden I said that I want to choose someone with jade to match the marriage, but when I was born, I had a piece of jade in my mouth, so people in the house have been rumored about the marriage of gold and jade, and they regarded me and Cousin Xue as a couple. For this reason, Cousin Lin has quarreled with me countless times, and my wife is even more looking forward to marrying Xue's family, thinking about it, she will definitely not agree with my relationship with Cousin Lin in the future."

After hearing this, Shui Rong couldn't help but feel a little bit embarrassed. After thinking about it for a long time, there was a smile on his lips, and he said slowly: "Okay, I understand what you mean. Since you have put your heart and soul to me, I should find a way to make it easier for you." It's you who relieves your worries."

Baoyu was taken aback, and fixedly looked at the gentle face of water melting, savoring his words, took a while to understand, couldn't help being grateful, got up and said: "Baoyu has no talent and no virtue, it is really lucky for three lives to be treated so favorably by the prince." .”

Shui Rong gently waved his hands, there was no condescension in his voice, but gentle and elegant like the warm wind in March: "You don't have to say such things, I admire you very much, of course, I'm not nosy People, I am willing to intervene in this matter, not only for you, but also because of your cousin."

Speaking of this, Xu Xu stood up, and the autumn sunshine fell on him, reflecting him as warm as jade, and his words were warm, with deep compassion: "That Miss Lin, although I have never seen her before, But she is Lin Ruhai, the only orphan of Master Lin, and her status is extraordinary, for the sake of Master Lin, I should take good care of her."

After hearing this, Baoyu was still excited and flattered and said: "Although this is so, this matter has nothing to do with the prince. Cousin Lin is not related to the prince, but the prince is willing to help and is sincere. Baoyu can't help but feel sorry for him." .”

Shui Rong smiled slightly, and when he was about to speak again, there was a sound of footsteps outside the pavilion, and then he heard a servant outside saying: "My lord, Lord Zhong has come to visit the mansion, and has arrived at the gate of the mansion."

This loyal king, Li Mu, is the late emperor's younger brother. Although his status is extremely respected, the late emperor deeply hates him because of his greed for food, lust, greed and cruelty. The current emperor, Li Zhen, is also alienated from him and does not want to get close to him. .

In the court, there are four kings with different surnames, Dongping King, Nan'an King, Xining King, and Beijing King, who guard the towns in all directions of the capital. Only the Beijing King's Mansion has made great achievements, so it is more noble than the other three princes.

When the throne of the Prince of Beijing Palace was passed down to Shui Rong's generation, because Shui Rong was not only outstanding in martial arts, but also quick in writing, gentle in temperament, and considerate of the people, he won the praise of the subjects all over the world. Not long after taking the throne, he became known as the "Young Wise King" .In addition, he and the present are cousins, similar in age, and although they are divided into monarchs and ministers, they have a deep affection for each other and are deeply trusted by the present.

King Zhongshun is narrow-minded, and he is not valued, so he is always jealous of Shui Rong, who has won the king's heart, and regards him as a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh.

And Shui Rong has the innate loftiness of a scholar, and deeply despises the behavior of being loyal and obedient to the king. Therefore, although the two are officials in the same dynasty, they are at odds with each other, and they seldom interact with each other, gradually turning into a situation of conflict.

Therefore, at this moment when King Zhongshun came to visit, Shui Rong was taken aback, raised his eyebrows, and said in a voiceless voice: "I didn't post a message to Prince Zhongshun's mansion, why did he come here?"

When he thought about it, he remembered that he had invited many nobles and literati to come over. King Zhongshun must have thought that he was soliciting power and felt uneasy, so he came here to watch.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong's heart turned cold, but seeing the figure of King Zhongshun approaching, he restrained his expression and calmly dealt with it. Seeing this, Baoyu stood up, straightened his clothes, Wait quietly.

But after a while, King Zhongshun came slowly, dressed in a moon-white robe, and his face was quite handsome, but his eyes were sharp and deep, like a deep pool, it was difficult to see what was in his mind.

Shui Rong took the precious jade and went out of the pavilion to greet each other a few steps, Shui Rong cupped his hands, with a faint smile on his lips, he said politely: "I don't know about the arrival of the distinguished guest, so I am far away from welcoming you, please forgive me, Prince Zhong."

King Zhongshun smiled slightly, bowed his hands and saluted, and said in a low voice, "Why did the Prince of the North say that? Xiao Wang himself heard that there was a chrysanthemum festival in the Palace of the Prince of the North, and many princes and celebrities were invited. Xiao Wang was very fascinated. But I also wanted to come here to have a look, so I came here uninvited, and I would like to ask Lord Bei to forgive me if I bother you."

His words came out in a calm manner, but they contained a sharp sense of reproach, coupled with the deep and subtle meaning, it made people feel shuddering.

Baoyu's body trembled slightly, her heart was startled and frightened, she didn't dare to look at King Zhongshun, so she could only lower her eyebrows and look respectful and submissive.Shui Rong knew that Li Mu was deliberately looking for trouble, and was annoyed in his heart, but he still didn't change his face, and said calmly: "It turned out that this king was on a whim, so he invited some people over at random to enjoy the flowers and scenery together. As for the loyal prince Xiao Wang also thought about inviting him, but after thinking about it, Prince Zhong is a minister of the court, and he has a lot of official duties to do, so how can he have the time to enjoy the chrysanthemum? Thinking of this reason, Xiao Wang didn't invite Zhong Lord, now it seems that Xiao Wang himself was wrong."

Glancing at King Zhongshun, there was still a faint smile on his lips, and he said calmly: "However, in fact, Xiao Wang is not very worried. Lord Zhongshun is a broad-minded person, how can he be so sad because of such a trivial matter?" dissatisfied?"

He said these words in a calm and unhurried manner, and Li Mu couldn't say anything more, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, Xiao Wang originally came here to enjoy the flowers, but now he is only here, with Prince Bei It would be too boring to chat, why don't you invite Prince Bei to lead Xiao Wang to have a look at the famous chrysanthemums here."

Shui Rong smiled lightly and nodded, and replied: "What Prince Zhong said is very true, please enter the pavilion." After speaking, he led Prince Zhongshun into the pavilion.

When Baoyu saw this, although he was a little afraid of King Zhongshun, he couldn't shirk it, so he lowered his head, sighed secretly, and followed him in.
