The Red Chamber: Starting from Saving Xue Baochai

Chapter 70 I will do my best to support my sister

Another afternoon, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle.

When Shen Yuan returned to his residence after work, he entered the backyard and saw Baochai and Xiangyun coming to play with Qiu'er.

Three girls were grilling skewers in the yard, chatting and laughing.

Ever since Shen Yuan taught them how to barbecue, the girls seemed to have found the fun in it and would come over every now and then to grill skewers and drink tea. Of course, they also wanted to see Brother Shen more often.

Shen Yuan felt a special kind of pleasure looking at the graceful, naive, and agile figures in front of him, busy shuttling back and forth in the green smoke.

"The sisters are getting more and more into the essence of barbecue. The fragrance can be smelled throughout the backyard."

"Brother Shen."

When the three heard the familiar voice, they all raised their heads and greeted the young man with a smile.

"These two skewers are freshly grilled. Brother Shen, here you go." Xiangyun ate with her cheeks puffed up and did not forget to hand two skewers to Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan looked at the corners of Loli's mouth that were shining with oil, shook his head and smiled: "No matter how delicious it is, Sister Yun should know how to control it and be careful of indigestion."

Qiu Er covered her mouth and chuckled, and responded from the side: "That's right, I told Sister Bao that you didn't listen, and now Brother Shen tells you that you still don't listen?"

Upon hearing this, Xiangyun glanced at the skewers of meat in her hand, raised her eyes and gave Shen Yuan an awkward smile, saying "oh" softly.

"Sister Yun, wipe your mouth. You really look like a little greedy cat now." Baochai handed over a handkerchief with a smile.

Xiangyun pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Sister Bao, Sister Qiu'er, you just have fun teasing me."

As Loli said this, she took Sister Bao's handkerchief, wiped the corner of her mouth, and glanced at Shen Yuan out of the corner of her eye.

Although she is usually carefree, she also cares about her image in Brother Shen's heart.

Shen Yuan chatted with the girls for a while, then said to Baochai, "I have looked at some courtyards recently, and there are a few that caught my eye. There are designs for the rooms. Sister Xue, come and have a look."

Baochai nodded lightly and followed Shen Yuan to the side room.

"A house in the capital should be very expensive. Where did Brother Shen get so much money?" Xiangyun was a little curious.

But no one responded to her. Qiu'er watched Shen Yuan and Baochai enter the room. She didn't know what she was thinking about, and her pretty face gradually turned red.

Entering the wing room, Baochai sat down at the table. Shen Yuan took out a stack of rice paper, on which were painted courtyards for sale in the capital. They were all large mansions with three or four courtyards.

"Sister, take a look. If you think any place is good, we can go there together sometime."

"I don't really care about these things. Just let Shen Lang decide. There's no need to make a big deal about it."

"How could I wrong my sister?"

Baochai had no choice but to read it slowly.

There was silence for a while, and Shen Yuan looked at the dignified and graceful beautiful woman beside him, and he began to have some thoughts.

As the saying goes, one gets to know the taste once one has tasted it, and as a hot-blooded young man, Shen Yuan is no exception.

After a moment of silence, he whispered a few words into the girl's ear.

Baochai's body trembled when she heard this. Her almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened under her willow-shaped eyebrows. She pursed her pink lips, her fair and tender face was as beautiful as clouds. She said shyly, "Shen Lang, how can this be possible?"

In the courtyard outside the room, the laughter of Sister Yun and the others can be heard clearly, and it is still ringing in my ears. How could Shen Lang act like this?

"The door is closed." Shen Yuan whispered in her ear, "Sister, it's okay."

Baochai's heart was beating wildly, knowing that Shen Lang loved her body very much. After hesitating for a while, she uttered a "hmm" in a voice as trembling as a mosquito, then stood up and stood in front of the table.

Suddenly, she felt the hem of her skirt swaying, and there was a rustling sound behind her, as well as a soft voice saying "Sister, pout a little." The girl trembled in response, and then she felt the heat.

Accompanied by a moan, Baochai quickly bit her red lips.

"Sister, take care of your sister's things, and I'll do mine." Shen Yuan reminded softly.

Baochai:"."

The girl's thoughts were already in a mess, and she subconsciously cast her eyes towards the rice paper on the table. Her delicate hands tried to support the edge of the table, trying not to let the paper shake.

"Sister, do you prefer a courtyard with three or four entrances?"

Baochai:"."

I don't know how long it took, maybe half an hour, before I finished talking about the yard.

Shen Yuan changed the subject and said in a gentle voice, "The formula of Lengxiang Pills has already been figured out by Imperial Doctor Li. It shouldn't take long for him to come up with a simple recipe."

When Baochai heard this, she suddenly felt a warm current flowing through her.
Shen Yuan took a step back slowly, and with a sigh, he continued, "This way, I can feel more at ease. One day, there will be a way to completely eliminate this heat poison."

As he said this, he straightened his clothes and tidied up the soft girl.
Baochai hummed lightly, sat down and relaxed, her feet feeling a little numb after standing for so long.

She stroked her slightly swollen belly, with a shy look on her face, and whispered softly: "Shen Lang, if..."

Shen Yuan put his hand on the back of the girl's hand and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay. The wedding is only a month away, so it won't be noticeable."

He took Baochai into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Our child will surely be as smart and beautiful as your sister."

She has already passed her sixteenth birthday, so having a baby should not be a problem. Besides, Baochai is in good health. The only worry is whether the heat toxins will be brought to the fetus.

Thinking about the future when they would have children and a warm family life, Baochai's heart became more filled with love.

Shen Yuan looked at the gentle and virtuous beauty at this time, and began to ponder again.

In the original novel, does Baochai, who is so virtuous, really only want to be a good mother?
To say something like "Good wind will help me soar to the sky", she must be ambitious in her heart, right?
Shen Yuan was silent for a moment, then said with emotion: "I see that my sister is quite interested in official career and economy. She is a knowledgeable person. In fact, there is no need to hide her ignorance."

When Baochai heard this, her body trembled slightly, and there was a hint of panic in her almond-shaped eyes. Did Shen Lang think that she was scheming?
"Don't be nervous, sister. I have no other intentions."

He actually just wanted his wife to live more freely under his protection.

Each of the golden hairpin girls has her own characteristics, so why can she only be a vase in the Red Mansion?

Baochai was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Shen Lang, although I have read books, know some things, and understand some principles, I am a girl after all."

"This world is indeed harsher on women, but it doesn't mean that women can only go with the flow." Shen Yuan said gently: "After getting married, if you want to run a business, whether it's a shop business or anything else, you can tell me, and your husband will do his best to support you."

He said this not only to make Baochai happier in life, but he also had other ideas.

He also plans to make some plans regarding business, which also matches Baochai's personality. Perhaps a strong woman in the business world is more in line with Sister Xue's personality, rather than just a soft and sticky woman.

Baochai raised her eyes and looked at the young man who was so close to her. When she met his eyes as calm as the deep sea, she was a little dazed for a moment.

"I would like to be a helper to my husband."

Although the conversation between the two at this moment did not involve too many specific matters, they actually understood each other tacitly.

This was also the first time that Shen Yuan and Baochai chatted about their married life.

After chatting for a while, Shen Yuan gently patted the girl's round and soft breasts and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go out. If we stay any longer, Sister Yun and the others will come to look for us."

Baochai's fair face suddenly turned red again. She gave her lover a shy and angry look, then stood up and left the room with Shen Yuan.
