After saying goodbye to her mother-in-law, Wang Xifeng went to Lixiangyuan. On the way, she happened to meet Jia Lian who was about to go out.
Wang Xifeng already knew about Jia Lian's lesson to Baoyu today, so she asked: "Sister Xue is moving away, do you know about this?"
"I just heard... It's all Baoyu's fault!" Jia Lian said fiercely.
"I think... you were too impulsive yesterday, and that's why things got so big that you forced Sister Xue and the others to leave!"
Wang Xifeng's thoughts are similar to Jia's mother, and they are also the most normal thinking in this era.
Jia Lian disagreed and replied: "I think it's too easy. Sister Xue is resentful and that's why she thinks about moving out!"
"Is Sister Xue moving out?" Wang Xifeng was a little surprised.
"Exactly... Brother Pan told me today that he doesn't want to leave!"
"This is really weird. Auntie and Brother Pan can no longer be the masters of the family!" Wang Xifeng clicked her tongue in surprise.
Jia Lian sighed: "Nowadays in the Xue family, Sister Xue is of high status, so her words certainly carry some weight!"
"I won't tell you any more. Sister Xue will return to the palace tomorrow. I have to go talk to her!"
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Wang Xifeng turned around and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Sister Yun is leaving today, and the master ordered me to take her back!"
"Speaking of which, this sister Yun is going to enter the palace the day after tomorrow, but I don't know what the final result will be!"
Jia Lian replied: "His family is highly valued by the Holy Father. Considering this level...I think Sister Yun can be chosen!"
"Okay... you go quickly!"
The couple parted ways. When Wang Xifeng went to Lixiangyuan to talk to Baochai, Mrs. Wang was making a last-ditch effort to retain her sister.
And when the news that the Xue family was leaving was discussed by Qingwen and other girls, it immediately attracted Jia Baoyu's attention.
Jia Baoyu has been in a bad mood since he was beaten yesterday. He was overjoyed when he learned that the Xue family was leaving.
"When will they leave?" Jia Baoyu couldn't help but ask.
"Second Master Bao, please keep your voice down... don't let outsiders hear it!" Xiren immediately reminded.
If it were originally, Jia Baoyu would not take this seriously, but now he has to be cautious, because Jia Lian will really beat him.
"It doesn't matter if they leave, then our house will be clean!" Jia Baoyu said in a low voice.
"I really don't understand, Miss Bao is so polite and approachable... why do you always have trouble with her!" Xiren sighed unconsciously.
"Are you even here to ridicule me?"
Sighing, Xiren replied: "It's not that I'm ridiculing you, I'm afraid that everyone in this house now... feels that you want to squeeze the Xue family away!"
"So what? They have their own house in Beijing, so why are they relying on our house all the time!"
After saying this, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but speak loudly, which frightened Xi Ren and hurriedly told him to keep his voice down.
Not to mention the affairs of the Jia family, Zhu Jinghong, who was taking the two girls out of the palace at this moment, had already taken them to a small boat.
On the Xiyuan Lake, although the area of the dock is small, making tea by the stove looks particularly cozy.
There were only three of them on the boat at the moment, and there were a few small boats around them, and on board were the accompanying palace maids and eunuchs.
Making tea was originally very simple, at least in Zhu Jinghong's opinion, but now Yang Jingting took matters into her own hands, and various rituals directly raised the level of tea drinking.
After boiling the tea, Yang Jingting filled three cups respectively, then lifted the first cup and brought it to Zhu Jinghong.
"Brother Thirteen, please have tea!"
This was the first time Yang Jingting took the initiative to greet Zhu Jinghong. She was extremely nervous at this moment. This is also the normal reaction of girls at the moment.
Looking at the shaky teacup in front of him, Zhu Jinghong reached out and took it in his hand. In the process, his fingers even touched Yang Jingting.
Zhu Jinghong himself thought it was nothing, after all, he and Baochai had more intimate actions, but Yang Jingting's face instantly turned red.
Ignoring Yang Jingting's shyness, Zhu Jinghong took a sip and then said: "It's a bit hot!"
Obviously, he couldn't say anything good, which made Yang Jingting a little disappointed.
Zhen Qin, on the other hand, picked up the tea cup and tasted it carefully, and finally made a very pertinent comment.
Zhen Qin's words are very colorful, but in Zhu Jinghong's opinion, there is only one word, and that is "good".
While everyone was talking and laughing, the boat floated toward the center of the lake, and the surrounding scenery became different.
"It's early winter now, and I'm afraid it won't be long before... it's going to snow!" Yang Jingting sighed.
Being in this bleak and lonely environment, she couldn't help but miss her mother in her hometown, whether she had added clothes on time, and whether her younger siblings...
"Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, sister Ting...why are you so sad?" Zhen Qin couldn't help but ask.
"homesick!"
Just these three words instantly stunned Zhen Qin, and then she felt that the tea no longer smelled good.
She hasn't seen her parents for half a year since she left home. It would be a lie to say she doesn't miss them.
But now in the capital, except for her aunt, Princess Zhen, she has no relatives.
Facing this natural emotion, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but be touched and remembered the people and events in his previous life.
Suddenly he realized that he had been in this world for more than half a year.
After experiencing so many things, the past life seemed unreal, almost like a dream.
After a few breaths of silence, Zhu Jinghong consoled him: "It's rare that you two come out to play, so you both feel happy!"
The two simply calmed down and then regained their tranquility.
Zhen Qin was careless and naturally recovered faster. She only heard her ask: "By the way, Sister Ting... The Queen is going to summon a new attendant the day after tomorrow. I don't know what kind of character this person is!"
Yang Jingting corrected her: "It's just a summons, not necessarily an attendant!"
"Her family put a lot of thought into this matter!"
Hearing this, Zhen Qin said proudly: "Unlike me... I have my aunt to help me!"
Yang Jingting glanced at Zhen Qin, but didn't know what to say to her.
"The new attendant? Which family is she from?" Zhu Jinghong looked nonchalant on the surface, but was very curious in his heart.
"A girl from the Shi family of Zhongjing Hou!"
"Historian? Oh..." Zhu Jinghong understood immediately.
At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh, is this really destined by God to send the golden hairpin to him?
"It's the day after tomorrow...right?"
"Master Thirteen, what happened the day after tomorrow?" Zhen Qin asked doubtfully.
"Uh...nothing, nothing!"
After simply covering it up, Zhu Jinghong directly changed the topic and took the chat in another direction.
The afternoon was spent chatting, and Zhu Jinghong became closer to the two girls.
Through this face-to-face and close conversation, Yang Jingting truly understood that her cousin was not as rough as he appeared.
On the contrary, Zhu Jinghong is easy-going and reasonable, and he is thoughtful and caring, but he is also powerful and makes people feel safe.
Simply... Thinking of this, Yang Jingting couldn't help but feel shy, why was she not reserved at all.
At this moment, the boat docked, and Zhu Jinghong went out first.
Standing on the shore, Zhu Jinghong stretched out his hand to pick up the two girls.
This was the job of the palace maid, but he took it away from her.
Logically speaking, Zhen and Yang should have declined at this time, but Zhen Qin generously stepped forward and helped Zhu Jinghong jump out of the boat.
With Zhen Qin proofing, Yang Jingting lost a lot of worries and stepped forward to hold Zhu Jinghong's sleeves.
Maybe it was because she was too nervous, but Yang Jingting jumped down from a height of only twenty or thirty centimeters and fell. Fortunately, Zhu Jinghong had quick hands and eyes, and stopped her waist to support her.
It's so delicate... The nephrite jade is warm and fragrant in his arms, this was Zhu Jinghong's first reaction.
Yang Jingting's heart was pounding like a deer, and she hurriedly tried to break free, but almost fell into the water. Fortunately, Zhu Jinghong stopped her and hugged her.
"Don't move, be careful of falling!" Zhu Jinghong scolded in a low voice.
Yang Jingting tried her best to regain her composure, held Zhu Jinghong's sleeves to steady herself, and then said softly: "Brother Thirteen, you... let go!"
The voice was like mosquitoes and ants, and such an intimate contact made Yang Jingting so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
On the sidelines, Zhen Qin began to blame herself again, secretly thinking that she should take a fall.
After letting go of Yang Jingting, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "Sister Ting, if I hadn't been here... you would have fallen into the lake today!"
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have fallen... Yang Jingting said secretly.
Seeing that she was really shy, Zhu Jinghong didn't want to joke too much, so he called the eunuchs and maids to prepare to return to the palace.
Seeing him busy, Yang Jingting felt shy and proud at the same time, but also felt very happy.
It was a feeling she had never felt before. It came so naturally that Yang Jingting couldn't help but think back to the time when she was hugged before.
Thinking of this, Yang Jingting blushed even more.
"Let's go... we should go back!" Zhu Jinghong shouted from the front.
