The side room of Rongxi Hall.
Li Wan held Jia Lan's arm and talked in detail. Tanchun and Yingchun were playing Go. Baochai, Xiangyun and Daiyu were watching the game, while Baoyu was sitting on the embroidered pier beside Daiyu.
Xiang Yun, holding her cheek in one hand, was sitting opposite the door. She raised her eyes and saw the young man who had opened the curtain and entered. Her eyes lit up and she raised her hand to say, "Brother-in-law is here."
Hearing this, everyone looked over and saw that the real brother-in-law was here, and they all stood up to pay tribute.
There were so many people in the house, not only the girls, but also the maids who were serving them, all of them were extremely beautiful. The dazzling scene in front of him made Shui Rong feel happy. This familiar scene felt like he had returned. These are serious girls, they must not make jokes.
Shui Rong was not surprised when he saw the chessboards laid out on the tables. After all, the daughter of the boudoir had nothing to entertain herself, and playing Go could also pass the time.
Seeing this, Shui Rong smiled and said, "You can continue playing chess and ignore me."
Xiangyun's smart eyes showed a cunning light, and he said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, the third sister has something to tell you."
When Shui Rong heard this, he looked at the pretty girl and saw that she gave Xiangyun an angry look. He felt a little confused. With their close relationship, what could they be embarrassed about? So he asked, "What's wrong with Third Sister?"
When Tan Chun saw Shui Rong asking, although she felt a little embarrassed in her heart, she had to shoot as the arrow was on the string. She was not a shy person by nature, so she moved closer, her eyebrows straightened, her clear eyes looked at the young man, and she said in a clear voice : "Brother-in-law, I would like to invite my second sister and the others to sit in the palace."
Shui Rong raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and looked at the girl who exuded a fierce aura in front of him. He was a little suspicious. Are these three girls asking for instructions?Why did he look like he was giving an order?
He raised his eyes and looked around, looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, he suddenly realized that inviting a girl from the palace to the palace was not an easy task. At least he had to pass the test of Jia Mu. Now he was asking, It means asking him to come forward.
After understanding, Shui Rong lowered his eyes and looked at the expectant girl in front of him, and smiled and scolded: "You girl, you should be careful, okay, I'll ask the old lady later."
Everyone was overjoyed when they saw Shui Rong agreeing. They all knew that Jia Mu respected Shui Rong and would never refuse if she asked.
Tanchun was even more delighted, and her eyes looking at Shui Rong became more and more radiant. She knew that her brother-in-law would agree to her.
Shui Rong didn't care about this at all. He saw that they were in a happy mood. It would be nice to go to the palace, not to mention that his own woman should be pampered by herself. He couldn't cope with it, especially Tanchun, who was acting like a heroine. It was very good. Next time You can learn a lesson or two.
Inviting them to play with themselves, Shui Rong sat down leisurely on a brocade pier.
At this time, the maid had already prepared tea. Baochai on the side saw this and turned his eyes slightly. He stepped forward to take the tea cup brought by the maid, moved closer and said: "Brother-in-law is not accompanying eldest sister, why are you here now?" here."
Shui Rong took the tea cup and looked at Feng Ze's Baochai, who was still looking pink and pretty in a pink printed collared long coat paired with a pink pleated skirt.
Thinking of the brief taste that time, Shui Rong couldn't help but feel a little dry in the mouth. He took a sip of the fragrant tea and said with a smile: "Your eldest sister is busy there, let me come over and take a look."
Yuan Chun was having a conversation with Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others. Why was he staying there?
After that, Shui Rong looked at the red musk bead on the crystal jade wrist and asked with a smile: "Sister Bao, this bead is really beautiful, can you let me have a look?"
When Baochai heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He looked up at the young man with his bright apricot eyes, and his heart gradually became ashamed and annoyed. This bead was not given to you by your brother-in-law. Why did you ask so clearly.
Tanchun and the others didn't pay much attention when they heard this. Instead, Daiyu glanced at the side, and her crimson lips curved into a sarcastic arc, as if she was asking questions knowingly.
Baochai didn't understand what it meant, but now that her brother-in-law had brought it up, he bit his lower lip, turned around, rolled up his sleeves, exposed a section of his snow-white arms, took off the fragrant beads, and handed them over drunkenly. He went up without saying a word.
Shui Rong looked at the shy Baochai with an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He reached out and took the fragrant beads. The girl's warm fragrance lingered on them, which was very clear. He must have worn them all the time.
Sensing the girl's friendship, Shui Rong swallowed back the words he wanted to ask who sent it. If he asked again, it would not make people embarrassed.
After a pause, Shui Rong returned the fragrant beads and said in a gentle tone: "This fragrant beads is quite good. Sister, please put it away."
Baochai responded and stretched out his hand to pick it up. Suddenly he felt something strange in the palm of his hand. His heart trembled. Fengze's face turned slightly rosy and his heart was beating fast. He quickly took the fragrant beads and carried them away.
The sisters are all here, how can they scratch her!
He glanced sideways and saw that the sisters looked fine. He felt relieved in his heart. He spat softly and walked towards the chessboard, away from the place of right and Rong smiled knowingly when he saw this. The future is long and there is no rush.
At this time, Li Wan came over with Jia Lan in hand. He looked at the young man with his clear eyes, leaned forward and said, "Thank you for taking care of Brother Lang."
Shui Rong heard the words and raised his eyes to look at the beauty in front of him. He also understood in his heart that he knew about his care for Jia Lan, so he came to express his thanks. Then he said warmly: "Sister-in-law, you are serious. Since Lan Ge'er is studying in the palace, I will naturally He will treat you kindly, and Langeer is very smart, so I like him very much."
Since he allowed Jia Lan and Jia Huan to come to the palace to study, he would definitely not be stingy with the treatment they deserve. Moreover, he really liked Jia Lan, a well-behaved and sensible child, and there was no way he would have thought of it.
Jia Lan put on a smile, looked up at Li Wan with clear eyes, and said in a clear voice: "Mother, you can rest assured now, my uncle is very good to the child."
Shui Rong smiled and said: "Care leads to chaos. Your mother cares about you. If you succeed in your studies in the future, don't forget to honor your mother."
Jia Lan nodded heavily and responded: "When I grow up, I will be filial to my mother and repay my uncle's kindness."
Shui Rong chuckled when he heard this and didn't care about the so-called repayment. With his status, what could Jia Lan repay?But after hearing this, I felt quite comfortable, so I reached out and touched Jialan's little head as a compliment.
Jia Lan stared blankly at the young man in front of him who was touching his head, feeling quite enjoying it.
Seeing this, Li Wan's willow leaves and apricot eyes slightly raised, and her pretty jade face was slightly complicated. The scene in front of her was the scene she was looking forward to, but her heart, which had been silent for a long time, started to beat slightly.
Shenjing, Fu Shi's home.
In a slightly elegant little room, a beauty sat in front of a desk. There was a piece of yellowish plain silk on the table, an inkstone next to it, and a few brushes scattered in the pen holder.
The beauty is dressed simply, with black hair like a waterfall, and a wooden hairpin hanging sideways. Her eyebrows are like light smoke, fresh and elegant, her apricot eyes are flowing and water-colored, her lips are red without a lick, and her skin is as white and tender as snow. She is Qiong. The beautiful Fu Qiufang.
Fu Qiufang was holding a wolf hair in her hand, and she didn't know what she was writing.
Not long after, a figure hurriedly "barged" in. Fu Qiufang saw the person and couldn't help but frowned and said: "Brother, why are you here, and you are so anxious."
The so-called guarding between men and women is something that even brothers and sisters should pay attention to. How could they rush in without saying hello.
Fu Shi didn't care about these details, and said in a slightly urgent tone: "Sister, someone is coming from the Duke Rong's Mansion, saying that Princess Beijing has summoned her. Please pack up quickly and don't keep the princess waiting for a long time."
When Fu Qiufang heard this, her jade face couldn't help but be startled, and whispered: "Why did the princess summon me?"
The only person in the Fu family who could establish a relationship with him was Fu Shi, but she knew in her heart that her brother was not worth mentioning in the eyes of others, so why did she specially summon him.
Fu Shi looked slightly excited and said smugly: "What else can happen? I have already told you that the prince is a member of the royal family. He is so noble. How could the Duke of Rongguo not make preparations?"
Fu Qiufang knitted her eyebrows as she looked at Fu Shi's excited expression, her heart a little sad. She knew that her brother was using her to lead the way to success. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. She was well-educated and reasonable, and she had no worries about food and clothing. She was her brother. How can one refuse what is given.
As her brother, she has already accepted her destiny. In her heart, she does not ask for talent from the other party, as long as he is not a twilight scene. She has also heard about Prince Beijing for a long time. He is a handsome young man, and she is already satisfied.
Thinking of this, Fu Qiufang stood up and said, "Brother, sister will go to Rongguo Duke's Mansion now."
Fu Shi glanced at his sister, frowned and reminded: "Sister, your outfit is simpler now. Go change into a colorful dress, and you should also use some rouge and gouache. Don't do that." Neglect."
If this is too shabby, wouldn't it be looked down upon.
Fu Qiufang shook her head and said in a clear voice: "Brother, my sister is fine for now. If you dress too gorgeously, it will make the princess wary."
She was there to be a helper to the princess, not to get married.
Fu Shi was good at sneaking into the camp, so he naturally understood what his sister said. He felt that what she said was reasonable, so he said no more and pulled Fu Qiufang out. (End of chapter)
