Chapter 182 Baochai’s keenness
In front of the exquisite mahogany table, Shui Rong led Baochai to sit down. He opened the food box and saw a plate of Ruyi cold cake inside.
Shui Rong reached out and took a piece, handed it to Baochai, and said warmly: "Sister, eat some Ruyi cakes to pad your belly first. Later I will lead you to learn to ride a horse, so as not to be hungry."
Riding a horse is physical work. Even if Baochai is plump, if you do it on an empty stomach, you will probably be too tired to speak by then, then it will be a bit boring.
Baochai took it with a blushing face and was not in a hurry to eat. She stared at the young man and said softly: "Brother-in-law, just take Yun Yatou and the others to learn. I'll just sit in the room for a while."
She also knew about the matter of learning to ride a horse. It was the fault of Yun Yatou. In her heart, she thought that her daughter's family should do something like needlework and weaving. Why did she learn to ride a horse? It would be better to stay in the house, just in time to bring incense. Completed embroidery.
Shui Rong understood clearly after hearing this. Among the girls in the palace, perhaps only Xiang Yun, a lively person, was interested in learning to ride a horse. Even Tan Chun, who had a heroic temperament, didn't have much interest.
After pondering, Shui Rong said softly: "Sister, learning to ride a horse can also strengthen your body. It is better than being bored in the house. When you learn to ride a horse, in the spring of next year, I will lead you to ride a horse for an outing. Wouldn't it be wonderful?" "
Life lies in exercise, and horse riding is also a physical activity. It is not an exaggeration to say that it can strengthen the body. How can a lady like Baochai have a good body if she never leaves the house and does not exercise at all? Learning to ride a horse right now is just a good way for these girls to get active, which will save them from sub-health. It will also increase Baochai's knowledge and prevent her from being ignorant in the future.
When Baochai heard this, her bright apricot eyes were full of longing. She was not interested in horse riding, but she was looking forward to an outing with her brother-in-law.
After a moment of silence, Baochai responded: "I listen to my brother-in-law."
When Shui Rong heard the words, he lowered his head slightly, glanced at Baochai, covered his mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, and chewed slowly. He was well behaved, but he was quite enjoying it.
Baochai was eating the pastries and noticed the watery gaze. Her cheeks turned a little bright red, and she felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her eyebrows and said, "Didn't my brother-in-law say I'm hungry with you? Why don't you eat?"
Shui Rong pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this. Baochai had a gentle temperament and was extremely well-behaved. If it had been that person, his eyebrows would have stood up and Yao Li Yao would have started to get into a fight.
Shaking his head, Shui Rong didn't think so. He reached for a piece and said with a smile, "That's right. Then I'll eat some with Sister Bao."
Baochai was silent when he heard the words and tasted the pastry carefully. How could it not be sweet to sit and eat with her lover?
Shui Rong didn't know what Baochai was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely be satisfied with Baochai's little request. After all, Shui Rong always sat and ate with Ke Qing.
As the saying goes, we eat without saying anything and sleep without saying anything. Wen Xiu didn't say much. He tasted the cool cakes, not to mention they were cool and refreshing, which was particularly good.
After a pause, Shui Rong finished eating a piece of Ruyi cake and stopped eating. He raised his eyes and looked around, taking in the furnishings in the room. There were no utensils or anything like that. Even the paintings on the wall were not hung. There were only There are a few books and tea cups, and the only decorations of color are the smoke-like soft smoke-colored curtains hanging on the bed and the silver-red quilt on the couch.
This was prepared by the palace. If it were based on Baochai's character, it would be "like a snow cave" as mentioned in the original work.
After pondering for a moment, Shui Rong said softly: "How come Sister Bao's house is so clean, but the people below are neglecting it?"
Baochai was heartbroken when he heard this, and suddenly felt that the pastries in his hands were no longer fragrant. He raised his apricot eyes and glanced at the young man. Seeing that he didn't look dissatisfied, he felt relieved and said softly: "The people below have never neglected , It’s just that I don’t value these external things, so I didn’t put them on display. If my brother-in-law thinks it’s inappropriate, I’ll let someone else put them on them later.”
Shui Rong glanced at Baochai and understood in his heart that Baochai's spiritual world did not value these things. She was a minimalist person who was peaceful and quiet in her inner world, so she developed a stable mentality and mature personality.
Baochai's words now are nothing more than accommodating to water dissolution, fearing water dissolution and therefore not liking it.
Thinking of this, Shui Rong stretched out his hand to hold the girl's catkin, and said warmly: "Sister Bao has a noble character, so she doesn't need these vulgar things to set off, but vulgar things also have wonderful uses. Putting some utensils on them will make you feel good. some."
Facing a sober environment all day long will affect your mood, and over time, you may become impersonal.
Moreover, Concubine Beijing was already unhappy with the fact that Baochai was too plain. If she saw that Baochai's house was like a snow cave, Concubine Beijing would be even more a long-term plan, he certainly wanted Baochai to change some of her style, but he would not be stupid enough to explain the matter to Baochai, and he would not need her to modify it too much. He would just let her change a little.
Baochai's jade cheeks were red, and Fang's heart was flustered, but she didn't retract her hand and allowed her brother-in-law to hold her.
As she said before, her brother-in-law was complimenting her, and he also asked her to put the utensils out of consideration for her, so he softly agreed. After all, it wouldn't matter if she put some utensils on it.
Shui Rong saw that Baochai responded and said no more. After a while, Baochai finished eating a piece of pastry, then wiped the waxy pink corners of his lips with an embroidered handkerchief, looking calm and composed.
Seeing this, Shui Rong asked softly: "Sister Bao, just eat one piece?"
When Baochai heard this, she gave the young man a slightly angry look with her beautiful eyes. She was being looked at and asked how to eat it. However, Baochai couldn't express this clearly, so she whispered: "I've finished eating."
Shui Rong raised his eyebrows and looked at Baochai's slightly plump figure for a moment. Although his daughter's appetite was small, it was not like that. If it was possible for Daiyu, it was absolutely impossible for Baochai.
Baochai noticed Shui Rong's eyes, her jade face changed slightly, her apricot eyebrows raised, and she said crisply: "Brother-in-law, what do you mean?"
Shui Rong looked at the angry girl and was speechless. He didn't say anything. How come he had such a big reaction? He still remembered that Yuanchun was the same way. Whenever there was something strange in his eyes, he could always detect something. Speaking of which, women were not interested in this matter. So sharp?
It should be said that only plump women are sensitive.
Nowadays, the girl is angry and has to guard against it. Not to mention that Baochai, who has a respectful and considerate character in the original work, rarely gets angry because Baoyu compares her to Concubine Yang. Let’s compare it with Yuanchun. With Yuanchun’s gentle temperament, he has always been unfavorable to water. She is soft and docile, but just because she mentioned her plumpness in front of Emperor Yongkang, she didn't expect to remember it until now. The petty thoughts of her daughter's family are clearly visible. If she doesn't coax her a little, it is impossible to say that she has a grudge because of it, no matter how serious it is. For some, Bai Fumei turns black.
Thinking of this, Shui Rong said in a warm voice: "My sister is naturally beautiful. She is still pretty even without makeup. I don't know how to look like a moon-shy flower when dressed up."
Since the topic is difficult to extend, the best way is to change the subject and don't act like a straight man.
When Baochai heard this, her heart trembled slightly, Fengze's face turned red, and his round almond eyes filled with autumn water, he said angrily: "What did brother-in-law say?"
Shui Rong didn't say much when he saw this. As long as they are women, no one likes to hear people compliment their appearance.
After groaning, Shui Rong stretched out his hand and gently pinched the girl's chin, looking at her plump face and bright pink lips, and said softly: "My sister's beauty is unparalleled, and this can't be said to be false."
Baochai's heart trembled, her face as white as snow was as red as blood, her heart was pounding, her brother-in-law pinched her chin again, the next step would not be Sure enough, Baochai noticed the warmth coming, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly closed her beautiful eyes. After a moment of intimacy, Shui Rong leaned into the girl's delicate ear and whispered softly: "Good sister, would you like to dress up a little for me to see from now on?"
At this time, Baochai Fengze's jade cheeks were as gorgeous as clouds. Hearing the young man's whisper, his heart trembled. He put his chin on the young man's shoulder and said in a trembling voice: "I, I, listen to my brother-in-law."
It is said that a woman should look good to please her. Since her brother-in-law likes her, she will naturally obey her. Moreover, her brother-in-law is so obsessed with her, which also makes Baochai feel a little bit happy in her heart.
Seeing that Baochai had been coaxed, Shui Rong didn't say anything. He reached out and took another piece of wishful cake and handed it over, saying softly: "Sister, eat more."
Just a piece of pastry would definitely not satisfy Baochai. He didn't want Baochai to lose weight due to hunger, otherwise she would be a bit annoying.
Baochai stared at the Ruyi cake that was handed to her, her pink lips slightly pursed. Her brother-in-law's move was clearly a reference to her plumpness, so he said in a clear voice: "I'm full."
How can anyone know how much food the daughter's family eats? Moreover, she is so full right now that she still has no appetite.
Shui Rong shook his head when he saw this. No matter how good his daughter's family was, most of them had the problem of duplicity, so Shui Rong didn't say much, bit into the wishful cake, and got through the beauty's astonishment. (End of this chapter)
