"Uncle Bao, why don't you go upstairs and listen to the play with your aunt?"

Baoyu shook his head again and said, "I'll just stay downstairs."

Seeing this, Qin Keqing had no choice but to let Baoyu stay downstairs, while she was supported upstairs by the female officer Jiayi and the maid Xiangling. Jia Baoyu glanced at the backs of Keqing and the others, and sighed leisurely.

"I am a filthy person, but I have been contaminated by other men's filthiness. I am really dirty from head to toe. No wonder I hide away."

Baoyu waited downstairs for a long time, but did not see Lin Daiyu coming, and finally had no choice but to leave. Thinking that Sister Lin had been in Beijing for more than half a month, except for visiting the old lady in Rongguo Mansion a few days before arriving, there was also

I haven't been here before. On the contrary, I heard Tan Chun say that he saw Daiyu in Ningguo Mansion.

He knew very well that Daiyu had a very good relationship with Rong Ge's daughter-in-law, but she was actually in Beijing, and Rong Ge's daughter-in-law's birthday would probably come.

well……

You must be angry with me again.

Baoyu left the Ningguo Mansion like a defeated rooster, with his head hanging down and spiritless. But he didn't know that he had just left the Ningguo Mansion, and Sister Lin led Zijuan into the Ningguo Mansion with gifts.

"Aunt Lin is here!"

Lin Daiyu felt a little weird when she heard Keqing call her aunt. She said softly: "I came from Yangzhou in a hurry, so I didn't bring anything with me. Today I chose two books that I often read from the room, and they were given as a box lunch."

gift.”

Everyone took a closer look and saw that there were actually two poetry collections. One was "The Complete Works of Li Qinglian and Annotated", and the second was "The Complete Works of Wang Mojie".

Qin Keqing thanked him and accepted it, but his little aunt who was several years old was snickering on the side.

It was hot in Shenjing in mid-August, but Jia Baoyu, who had left Ningguo Mansion, followed the carriage, walking in a daze. The two followers followed cautiously, for fear that the gentleman would suddenly run away and leave.

After walking for a while, many beads of sweat appeared on Baoyu's forehead. At the right time, a carriage came to a stop and the sound of joking could be heard.

"Isn't this Uncle Guo? Why do you look like this?"

Baoyu looked up and couldn't believe his eyes at all. He saw the man in the carriage wearing brocade clothes, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a sharp-cut face, he was such an imposing man.

"You're not..." Baoyu murmured for a long time, unable to believe what he saw with his own eyes.

Zhang Hongchen smiled heartily and said, "Did you think we were dead?"

yes.

Baoyu heard what Brother Rong said with his own ears. The thief in Qingxu Temple died and was tortured to death by inhuman means by the guards of Prince Zhongshun. How... but now he appeared in front of him intact. How could it be?

Could it be that Brother Rong is coaxing him?

Taking a look at the thief's clothes, he saw that this was the uniform of a royal guard.

Baoyu asked: "Now you are working in Jinyi Division?"

An imperceptible cold light flashed in the corner of Zhang Hongchen's eyes, and he smiled kindly and said: "We have to thank your Jia family, otherwise our family would not be able to be an official."

When Baoyu saw the mortal thief looking at him up and down, he felt an unspeakable feeling well up in his heart. It was numb and smooth, and as smooth and warm as a long stream. He asked with concern, "How have you been recently?"

"Excellent!" Zhang Hongchen laughed and said, "I haven't seen you for several months, but I have lost a lot of weight."

Jia Baoyu's slightly plump face slowly showed a little red ridges. Somehow, the person he once thought about day and night appeared here, and he couldn't move any more, and he still felt like he wanted to get close to her.

Baoyu hummed softly, lowering his head like a shy girl.

Seeing this expression, Zhang Hongchen smiled playfully. He joked: "Although it is not the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is rare for the sky to be clear and clear, and it can be regarded as a good day to appreciate the moon. Uncle Guo, please have some thoughts and share with us

Have a drink at home and look at the moon?"

full moon?

Baoyu's mind suddenly recalled that shameful night. The moonlight that night was also extremely beautiful. There was nostalgia and longing in his heart. When he was hesitating, he heard the mortal thief say again: "The beautiful scenery in the world is a pleasure.
