Chapter 181 A small sachet full of emotions
Baochai Courtyard.
In the room, the demure Baochai was sitting on the couch, holding a piece of brocade silk in her hand, and her almond-shaped eyes were focused on doing the makeup.
Maybe she was a little tired from doing it, so Baochai put down the brocade and rubbed her white jade wrists. Through the half-open screen window of the corridor, she saw a golden butterfly fluttering its wings and flying past, like small golden flowers. dance.
After a moment of pause, Baochai lowered her eyes and looked at the red musk beads on her jade wrist. Her jade face gradually became dim, and her bright apricot eyes showed a bit of sadness. She had been in the palace for a few days, and her brother-in-law had never come to see her.
However, Baochai is not ignorant of the general situation. Now that his brother-in-law is newly married, how can he reconcile with his aunt and cousin Qinse.
But even if she was avoiding it, she wouldn't stop looking at her. Could it be that her brother-in-law got tired of her after having a taste of it? At this time, the girl's worry about gain and loss made Baochai feel sad.
"Girl, I'm back."
After a while, Baochai's thoughts were interrupted by the crisp sound of a warbler coming from outside the house.
Baochai frowned lightly, then smiled. This girl has always been lively and playful, so don't pay too much attention to her.
After a while, Ying'er walked in and saw Baochai holding the brocade and silk and starting to work as a girl. The corners of her mouth curved up and she said with a smile: "Girl, look who's here."
"You girl is getting more and more unruly, who will come?"
Halfway through the words, Baochai raised her eyes and saw the gentle and jade-like young man behind Ying'er. Her heart trembled. She put the brocade silk in her hand on the table, Yingying stood up and said with a hint of joy in her gentle voice. : "Brother-in-law, you are here."
Sure enough, my brother-in-law still has her in mind.
Shui Rong looked at the quiet and serene girl in front of her. She had a shiny black bun on her head, a long coat with an off-white border and a light purple cross-collar, and a flesh-pink pleated skirt. She looked sober and pleasant.
"I'm coming over to see Sister Bao."
I had no intention of doing this at first, but I happened to meet Ying'er and stopped by to see Baochai. However, he would definitely not say this bluntly. Not everyone in his daughter's family likes to listen to coaxing words. This should reflect his true nature. He came here specially to make ripples in the girl's heart.
As expected, Baochai's smile was written on Fengze's face, like a blooming peony, with a delicate fragrance.
When Shui Rong saw this, his heart moved, he was indeed the bright and charming Xue Baochai, indeed extraordinary, and a closer look revealed that Baochai's plump appearance was somewhat similar to Yuan Chun.
Speaking of which, Baochai and Yuanchun are aunts, and it is normal for them to have slightly similar looks. Moreover, both of them are ladies in feudal society, and their characters are quite conservative. Speaking of which, Baochai is somewhat like the girl version of Yuanchun. Meaning, if it were said to the outside world that these two are biological sisters, many people would believe it.
I don’t know if these two will be able to have a close relationship as sisters and support each other in the future. I’m afraid they will look at each other. After a pause, Shui Rong looked at the brocades on the tables and asked, "What is Sister Bao doing?"
Baochai saw Shuirong looking at Jinbo and knew the meaning of his inquiry. His plump face flushed a little bright red, he reached out and picked it up, put it in the palm of his hand, lowered his eyes and said: "It's nothing, nothing, nothing to do." I’ll do some needlework while I’m at it.”
Needlework, spinning, etc., these are all necessary skills for girls in the boudoir. Not to mention young ladies, even girls have one or two special skills, such as Qingwen's "Sick Bird Golden Fur" and Ying'er's knotting. This is true.
Shui Rong was a little confused when he saw this, but he didn't delve into it. After all, since the other party didn't want you to see it, why bother asking for the truth? So he smiled and said, "If Sister Bao has nothing to do, you might as well invite Sister Lin and the others." Let’s go to the garden together to avoid being bored in the house.”
Hearing Shui Rong's words of concern, Baochai couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart, and said softly: "I was naughty with Sister Lin and the others just now. Now I have nothing to do so I can do some acupuncture."
When Ying'er saw Baochai's words and deeds, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. There were some things that the girl didn't say, so how could the prince know his thoughts?As a personal maid, Ying'er naturally wanted to raise her voice for the girl. She turned her willow eyes slightly and said with a smile: "My lord, you don't know, the girl is making sachets. This slave is unwilling to hit her even if she wants to. I can't stand it right now." After a few nights, I said I wanted to give it to someone, but I didn’t know who to give it to.”
"Ying'er, what's wrong with Hu Qin? He's becoming more and more unruly."
Baochai's pretty face flushed, her beautiful eyebrows slightly raised, her almond-shaped eyes widened as she looked at Ying'er and cursed, she wanted to give someone a nice gift, but she hadn't done it yet, and she didn't want to win with it. Pay attention, Ying'er is her maid, what she said seemed to be intentional on her part.
When Ying'er heard the words, she immediately fell silent. However, her willow eyes looked at Shuirong and she blinked. She immediately put the food box on the table and said crisply: "Girl, the snacks are here. I'll go and make some new tea for the prince."
After that, without waiting for Baochai's instructions, he turned around and walked out.
Baochai didn't say anything when she saw this. It wasn't that she was indulging Ying'er, but she knew in her heart that Ying'er was making space. Thinking of this, Baochai's jade cheeks were slightly tipsy, and she stared at the young man with clear eyes. He said: "Ying'er doesn't have any rules and makes my brother-in-law laugh."
Shui Rong chuckled when he heard this and said warmly: "This girl is quite cute, and she was taught well by Sister Bao."
As a young lady's personal maid, who doesn't have two brushes? Ying'er seems to have no rules, but she is also thinking about Baochai in her words and deeds. Now she is making tea and she won't be able to come back in a short time, and there is a high probability that she won't come back soon. Jiu will still be a door god! Thinking of this, Shui Rong looked at the girl standing with her eyes lowered. She moved closer and stretched her right hand towards the sachet held in Baochai's hand. When she touched it with her fingertips, she felt a soft and delicate feeling.
Baochai's jade cheeks were red, she pursed her pink lips, her hand holding the sachet became loose, and she let it fall into the hands of the young man. Her heart was a little uneasy, and she looked at it with a pair of bright apricot eyes. With.
Will my brother-in-law like it? Shuiluo looked at the sachet in front of him. It is shaped like a peach, with reddish-brown Su embroidery inlaid with turquoise pieces. The Dragon Boat Festival has four-color thread arms. It is small and exquisite. The pattern on it is not perfect, but it looks like a lotus. Sniffing lightly between the nostrils, the coolness of mint hits your nostrils, and there is a vague aroma mixed with it.
After a pause, Shui Rong held the sachet in his hand, looked at the shy Baochai, and said softly: "I'll accept what Sister Bao has in mind."
"A small sachet, full of love." A woman gave a sachet to a man to express her love. It was subtle and beautiful, and she blamed Baochai for being embarrassed because she was a shy girl.
Although Baochai did not say who he was giving it to, Shui Rong had this confidence. Although Baochai was tainted by merchants' calculations about gains and losses, she was influenced by the fragrance of books in her bones. She was a typical standard lady in feudal society. If If my heart wasn't for him, how could I have let the water dissolve and be frivolous last time? Any intention of asking who the sachet was given to is an insult to Baochai's character.
And Ying'er's mischievous eyes said it all, how could there be any mistake.
Baochai was delighted when she heard this and took the sachet after it melted in the water. This showed that she accepted this intention and that her hard work of staying up many nights was not in vain.
Pursing her pink lips, Baochai lowered her head and said softly: "Brother-in-law, the sachet has not been embroidered yet. Wait until I finish it."
The pattern of the sachet has not yet been embroidered, so how can it be given to others? At least, wait until she has finished the embroidery before sending it to her personally. However, the girl's shyness makes Baochai unable to say anything.
Shui Rong knew it well, returned the sachet to Baochai, and said softly: "Then I will wait, but don't be anxious. If you stay up all night again for this, wouldn't it make me feel bad."
The beauty is very kind, so Shui Rong naturally doesn't want Baochai to be too tired.
Baochai's heart couldn't help but feel sweet when she heard the words of "distressed". She knew that her brother-in-law had her in his heart. She lowered her eyes and responded softly, holding the sachet lightly with her bare hands without saying a word.
Seeing this, Shui Rong didn't say much. He looked at the shy girl and said softly: "Isn't my sister hungry? I happen to be a little hungry too. I will eat some snacks with my sister."
Hearing this, Baochai stared at the food box on the table and pursed her pink lips. She was indeed a little hungry, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Ying'er to get some snacks, so she said softly "Hmm" .
Upon seeing this, Shui Rong smiled knowingly, stretched out his hand to hold the girl's pink hand, and walked towards the table.
