dream of red mansion

Chapter 551
In the end, Jia Qing didn't go to Jia's mother's courtyard, but sent a maid to answer.

Although he has always been filial to Jia's mother, he is in a bad mood at this time, and he doesn't want to make a smile in the past to make Jia's mother happy.The reason for not going is also very simple, the emperor let him stay in the mansion.

After lunch, Jia Qing went back to Tubi Mountain Villa and took a midday nap. When he woke up, he found that there was no one there, so he put on his coat and prepared to go for a stroll in the garden.

Before going down the mountain, I can see from a distance that although the white snow in Hengwu Garden has not completely melted, it has already overwhelmed the cardamom vines in the hospital. With the greenery unfolding, the biting cold wind blows in when the snow melts.

Jia Qing stepped into it unconsciously.

Compared with the desertedness of Tubi Villa, Hengwu Garden is much more lively.

Baochai and several servant girls are there.

They set up a table in the corridor next to a huge rockery, covered with cups and saucers.Baochai and Yinger were sitting opposite each other on either side of the stove, looking as if they were making tea.

Zhen'er, who was standing by, saw Jia Qing first, and hurriedly waited for Baochai, "Master Qing is here."

"Yinger, Sister Bao, are you two talking about heroes? I just don't know which of you is Cao Cao and who is Liu Bei. Oh, Yinger is so stupid, she must be Liu Bei."

Faced with Jia Qing's ridicule, Baochai shook her head and smiled, "Brother Qing is still so poor. We are not cooking wine, but we ate some greasy things in the past two days. I was afraid that I would get angry, so I thought about cooking some oranges. Make tea with water."

Jia Qing came closer and saw several big and bright green oranges on the plate, and said, "Is there such a fresh orange in this season?"

"My elder brother sent it in. If Brother Qing likes it, I'll send you some later."

"Then thank you, Sister Bao."

Ying'er had already stood up to give up her seat, so Jia Qing walked over and sat down.

"I've only heard that orange peel can be soaked in water to drink. What does this green orange boil in water taste like?"

Jia Qing saw that Baochai added several dried jasmine flowers to the boiled green orange water, stirred it with a spoon, and then filled a cup to taste it, so she asked.

"It's nothing special, would you like to try it?"

Jia Qing nodded, and Baochai personally filled a cup for him and handed it to him.

"What does it smell like?"

Jia Qing took a sip and expressed that it was not good, and handed it to Yinger next to him.

Baochai said with a smile: "This green orange boiled water is the best for clearing the intestines and stomach, and the jasmine is added to relieve its bitter taste. Now the weather is dry, and people like to eat greasy and hot things at this time. Drink it at this time." Drinking water boiled with green tangerines is good for your body. It’s just that many people can’t get used to its taste.”

"Is my sister used to drinking?"

To be honest, this green orange boiled water is really not very tasty.To reduce anger, many famous drinks have this effect, why bother to get this.

Baochai smiled and said nothing.

"Forget it, I still think fresh oranges are delicious!"

Jia Qing grabbed a bowl of green tangerines on the table, and he stared at them for a long time, because it was full of peeled orange petals.

"Second master, our girl spent a lot of time peeling it off and using it to boil water. Is there still on the plate if you want to eat it?"

Yinger judged Jia Qing's lazy behavior.

"Forget it, Ying'er, let him eat, it's useless anyway."

Baochai was very understanding and didn't mind.

"Look, Sister Baobao is generous and caring for others, unlike Yinger, who is stingy."

While slandering Yinger, Jia Qing picked up a piece of orange and threw it into his mouth, bit it down, and looked at Yinger proudly.

Ying'er's pupils widened suddenly, and even her small mouth opened unconsciously.Because of Jia Qing's mouth, the tender and juicy orange petals shot out several "sharp arrows" instantly, and Baochai in front of Jia Qing happened to be hit.

Jia Qing's smile froze.

What embarrassment is there, can it compare to making a fool of yourself in front of a beautiful woman?
Now he is in such a situation.

Even though Jia Qing wanted to slap herself in the mouth, she had no choice but to shyly say, "I'm sorry, Sister Bao, I didn't mean it."

Baochai was also a little dazed by the sudden accident, and when she heard Jia Qing's apology, she subconsciously said, "No, it's all right."

She wiped her cheeks with an embroidered handkerchief, looked down at the Luoqun with several spots, and wiped it off, but it was still obvious, so Baochai stood up and said, "I'll go in and change clothes, Ying'er, take care of me." Second Lord."

Then he greeted Zhen'er and entered the house.

In such a sudden incident, Jia Qing saw Baochai's good self-cultivation.

Baochai enters the house, temporarily relieving Jia Qing of his embarrassment.This era pays attention to etiquette, and his behavior just now is really rude.

"Ahem, accident, accident."

It's just him and Ying'er, and Ying'er is a maid, so Jia Qing can let go.

Ying'er rolled her eyes at Jia Qing, said nothing, and bent over to pack up.It's not that she dislikes Jia Qing so far, because Baochai is a woman in a boudoir, and after such an accident, Baochai must no longer be able to use these cups, saucers and tea utensils, which is also a courtesy.

Jia Qing didn't say much, and suddenly asked Ying'er: "Sister Ying'er, I remember you said last time that Sister Bao has many benefits that others don't know about. What is it? I don’t understand, please tell me, sister.”

Ying'er stopped her hands suddenly, looked at the door subconsciously, shook her head and said: "Young lady won't let me tell you, besides, I shouldn't have told the second master in the first place, last time it was the servant who talked too much."

Jia Qing was very displeased: "What I hate the most is half-speaking. If you can't say it, then why did you say it again? It's just hanging on to me to guess, what if I suffer from lovesickness?"

"cluck"

Ying'er smiled lightly and said, "Second Lord really knows how to joke."

"Good sister, please tell me quickly, I have benefits for you."

Jia Qing grabbed Ying'er's hand, took out a piece of silver from her waist and put it in her hand quietly, and gave her a "you understand" look.

"what."

Ying'er picked it up and looked at it, completely astonished.No matter how fast she thinks, she will never think that the benefit Jia Qing said is to bribe her with money!

Moreover, it is still a piece of broken silver.

Is our lady's information worth this price?

"Second Master, you should take it back!"

Yinger directly threw Jia Qing's dirty silver back into his arms.

Jia Qing saw that she was toasting and refused to eat the fine wine, so he pulled her to him, looked up at her viciously, and inadvertently smelled the fragrance that only belonged to girls.

"Second Master, let go, you will be seen by others."

Ying'er is a well-behaved maid, such impolite behavior made her at a loss.

Jia Qing said: "No, if you don't tell me, I won't let you go."

The meaning of threat is strong.

Ying'er looked around, there were not only the three masters and servants in Hengwu Garden, but also a few maids and mother-in-law arranged by Qin Keqing. If they saw it, they would definitely gossip about it.
"Second Master, let go, I, I say yes."

Jia Qing only let her go a little bit, but still held her tightly.

Ying'er couldn't help but said: "Although our girl is a lady of everyone, no one knows that she can actually cook a lot of dishes. Even the chefs outside are not as good as our girl."

Jia Qing believed in this, he was lucky enough to drink the soup made by Baochai last time.He nodded, agreeing with what Yinger said.

"Also, there is the fact that our girl learned painting from a famous teacher in the early years, and her painting skills are even better. But the girl strictly abides by the saying that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and she stopped doing it later."

Painting, Jia Qing was a little surprised.I've never seen Baochai paint before, but Ying'er can't just talk nonsense, it should be true, I can ask her to show it when I have a chance in the future, maybe I can let her teach Xichun, Xichun likes to paint.

"anything else?"

"Also. Oh, no more, the girl is coming out, the second master let me go, it will be bad if the girl sees it."

Jia Qing glanced at the door to see if there was any movement.He knew that it was troublesome for women to change clothes, and it would be impossible to do it for a while.

"What are you afraid of? We have no adultery."

"Bah"

Jia Qing didn't think anything like this, it would be too damaging to Ying'er.Jia Qing could feel Ying'er's body tremble only through her hands, and then she began to feel weak.

"Are you OK?"

Jia Qing quickly stood up and supported her.

Yingertuo blushed and said, "Second Master, don't talk nonsense, let people hear how I live."

Only then did Jia Qing realize that she had done too much, so she let her go.Seeing her blurred eyes, like mist, holding the corner of the table with one hand, looking delicate and gentle, Jia Qing was also a little overwhelmed.

Taking a deep breath, Jia Qing looked away, and said: "You are lying. You clearly said that there are several benefits that the world does not know, but you only managed to mention two. Don't lie, so hurry up and tell the truth."

Ying'er originally thought Jia Qing was being frivolous on purpose, but after seeing his actions, she realized her mistake.

Taking advantage of Jia Qing's head tilted, she looked at Jia Qing carefully. After the brief "entanglement" just now, it seemed that something changed in her heart, and she didn't take the opportunity to escape. She took a long breath secretly, and said with a smile: "The rest of the servants really dare not tell the second master anymore. I just tell the second master that the scent you smelled in the girl's room last time was one of them. Our girl hasn't taken Lengxiang Wan for more than half a year. Clothes never make people smell good."

Jia Qing is not a fool, what Yinger has said shows that he hasn't guessed yet.It's neither Leng Xiangwan nor clothes, it's her own fault.

Jia Qing wasn't particularly surprised, in fact he had noticed it last time, it's just that the most intimate things about women like this, even close friends in the boudoir might not know, so how could he make a mistake.

In this way, most of the benefits that Ying'er said that the world does not know are some things in Baochai's private life.

"What did you say?"

Baochai's voice sounded.

Looking back, they saw that Baochai had changed into a stone-blue skirt and a dark gray fluffy cloak. There was only a slipknot tied around the neck, and two jade belts, one long and one short, were hung down.With a bright face, she looks like a fairy.

"I didn't say anything, I just disturbed my sister, Ying'er has been here to bury me."

Baochai said: "It's just a trivial matter. You didn't mean it was cold outside. Brother Qing, let's go inside and talk."

Apparently Baochai was no longer interested in making tea, and did not want to continue this topic.

"it is good."

Jia Qingke stepped into the room following his master's will.When he walked to Baochai's side, he slowed down a bit and sniffed lightly.

"What's wrong?" Baochai asked.

Yinger suddenly became nervous.Fortunately, Jia Qing was not that unreliable, so he sold her now.

"It's nothing, it's just that Sister Bao's garden is filled with a faint fragrance of fragrant grass, but the fragrance in this room is a little different."

Baochai said, "But I don't smell any fragrance."

Jia Qing suddenly laughed and said: "That's it. It's said that 'you can't smell the fragrance in the orchid's room for a long time', and now this sister Xiangbao can't smell it as much as I can smell it, which shows that the fragrance in Sister Bao's room is not ordinary. It is not a vulgar fragrance, but a fresh and elegant fragrance like orchid."

Everyone could hear the compliment, and Baochai also smiled: "Brother Qing, with this mouth, it's no wonder he can make the old lady so happy, and he said that I can't let you stay by my side for a day, or I will laugh at her. I thought her old man was joking, but now it seems that there is evidence for her words."

"I'm not talking to coax my sister, but it's true. I really smelled the fragrance. If you don't believe me, you can ask Yinger. Forget it, Yinger has been living in this house. Her words can't be counted, sister If you don't believe me, you can find out when Sister Lin comes next time and ask her face to face."

"That's all, you're telling the truth and that's it. If one day you deliberately coax me, I don't know what you have been deceived by you. It seems that it is true as the old lady said. It is better not to talk to you all the time."

Jia Qing: "."

A few days later, at the edge of a small market town about two hundred miles away from the capital.

A few tall men with coarse cloth and hemp tendons wrapped around their heads, and concealed behavior appeared in a teahouse here.

If Jia Qing was here, he would recognize at a glance that one of them was the golden-haired prince who had escaped from the capital for several days.

Originally, according to the itinerary, they should be approaching the grassland soon, but they escaped so far for some reason.

Moreover, this town is called Sparrow Town, located in the southwest of the capital.The golden retriever prince is a Russian, so he should have fled to the north or northwest, but somehow he ended up here.

"Your Highness, can you trust that Chu man?"

The entourage of the Golden Retriever whispered.For fear of being heard, he spoke his mother tongue.

The Golden Retriever Prince deliberately smeared some carbon dust on his face to make him look more like a farmer, without a little bit of the elegance and coldness before.

"The people of Chu say: Employers are not suspicious, but suspects are not. If he really betrayed us, can we still drink tea here?"

The retinue shut up.

Jin Mao said: "Yang is a smart man, he knows the truth of seeking wealth and danger. The gold we gave him can make him spend his whole life, so how could he betray us so easily? Chu people are so cunning, Blocked all the roads for us, preventing us from going home.

But, aren’t we just as good now? We have meat to eat and wine to drink. Speaking of which, the wine sent by the cunning Jia is really good, even better than the wine sold in our royal city, haha. This place is so remote, Chu people must not be able to find it To us, these are all thanks to Yang.

He is now trying to find a way to send us out, making plans for our safety, but you are here to doubt him, Wizhinov, you are too wrong. "

"My subordinates are wrong."

After teaching his subordinates, the golden retriever was very happy. He took out the flagon he was carrying around his waist, took a sigh of relief, and let out a long breath: "Okay."

Haha, it's been two years, and I'm finally going home, I really don't want to be here.

Also, that divinely beautiful lovely girl.
