As Jiang Yuhan spoke, he took off a big red sweat scarf that tied Xiaoyi'er.
He shyly handed the jade to him and explained:
"This sweat scarf is a tribute from the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom. Wearing it in summer will make your skin fragrant and prevent sweat stains."
Baoyu heard the "meaning of intimacy" first and couldn't help being happy.
But when I heard that it was a tribute, I couldn't help but show some hesitation.
Seeing his appearance, Jiang Yuhan didn't panic at all and added:
"Speaking of which, King Beijing gave this to me yesterday, and I only got it today."
I heard that it was not a reward from the emperor, but from King Beijing.
Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
King Beijing is one of his own, and he also goes to the Prince's Mansion in Beijing from time to time.
Even if he accepted it, he would probably not blame him.
What's more, it is difficult for others to know such private items.
Seeing Baoyu relax, Jiang Yuhan felt a little disdainful.
At that moment, he pretended to be dissatisfied and pushed his hand, and said angrily:
"If it were anyone else, I would never give it to you!"
Seeing that Baoyu didn't answer, he urged again:
"Please also ask the second master to untie his own tie and tie it for me."
Seeing his dissatisfaction, Baoyu immediately stopped hesitating.
Finally, he took the big red sweat towel over.
Then he took off his songhua sweat towel and gave it back to Jiang Yuhan.
After the two exchanged gifts, they flirted with each other for a while.
He said a few words, some and all.
At this time, Baoyu couldn't hold it any longer.
After he went to relieve himself first, Jiang Yuhan still looked at his back with a smile.
It wasn't until Baoyu entered the latrine that he slowly stopped smiling.
"laugh!"
Jiang Yuhan sneered disdainfully and prepared to return to the front hall.
But as soon as he turned around, he was startled.
He saw someone appearing behind him at some unknown time.
"Xu~~"
When she saw this person, Jiang Yuhan, who was originally in shock, patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily:
"You scared me!"
The man's face was cold, and he said solemnly:
"Yu Ai, is that person going to attack Rong Mansion?"
If Baoyu was here, he might still have some impression of this name.
Because he had two classmates in ethnic studies, their nicknames were "Xiang Lian and Yu Ai".
The real name of this "Jade Love" is Jiang Yuhan.
Speaking of this nickname, there is another "allusion".
The sound of "Han" is "Han", not Han.
Hanzi is Hanlian (sound: Handan).
It refers to the lotus flower that has not yet bloomed.
In the school that day, many children of the Jia clan coveted Jiang Yuhan's beauty.
After learning his name, someone started teasing him in half-formed ancient Chinese:
"Who can share the love of the lotus?"
Others followed suit and responded:
"I only love Lotus before I open the package!"
"It's true, Yu also loves Hanlian!"
"..."
An article called "Ai Lian Shuo" gave Jiang Yuhan her nickname "Jade Love".
It also became the last thing in his mind that he didn't want to mention.
However, when the person opposite mentioned it, he didn't seem angry, he just sneered and said:
"Say Xianglian, you've only been out for a few days and you've already forgotten our rules?"
It turns out that the person in front of him is Liu Xianglian, a friend brought by Baoyu.
Listening to the conversation between the two, it seemed as if they had known each other for a long time.
Speaking of which, the two of them are really old friends!
Because Liu Xianglian also studied reading in the Jia family.
He also had good relations with Qin Zhong.
And he also had a nickname at that time, which was the same as his name.
"Xiang Lian" is Liu Xianglian!
This Liu Xianglian was originally a child of a noble family, and his ancestors served in the army with Duke Rong Guo.
In his generation, his parents died young.
Fortunately, some meager property was left for him to survive, and with his ancestral connections, he joined the Jia family to study.
It's just that he is naturally handsome, with some male-female looks.
Like Jade Ai, she is often coveted by the rich men in the clan.
When he met Yu Ai, the same was true for Qin Zhong and Baoyu later.
So he intended to make friends with them and hug each other for warmth.
Unexpectedly, he contacted Qin Zhong and was discovered by Jin Rong, who had coveted him before.
They also used words to provoke each other in a strange manner.
Liu Xianglian had a bad temper, and she soon had a conflict with the other party.
For this reason, he was almost beaten by Jin Rong and his men.
Later, with the help of Baoyu, the matter was settled.
However, Jin Rong did not dare to provoke Baoyu afterwards.
His aunt and mother wanted to find trouble with Qin Zhong, but they failed at the Ning Mansion.
So, he poured out his anger on Xiang Lian and Yu Ai.
The two of them faced rumors among the family and were often bullied in various ways.
It didn't take long for both of them to drop out of school.
After disappearing for a few years, the two of them reappeared.
A man who is good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
Mingle with many dandy boys.
One of them performed on stage and became famous in the capital.
He became a famous figure that every government rushed to invite.
In this way, the two of them wandered among the dignitaries of various houses in the capital in different ways.
However, after the former "Xiang Lian" and "Jade Ai" left Jia Family School.
The temperament has undergone great changes.
One is getting colder and the other is more charming.
In addition, the body is still growing at a young age, and the body shape has changed a lot.
Only the eyebrows and eyes are still somewhat original.
If they don't take the initiative to mention them, even people who knew them would have a hard time recognizing them when they meet again.
Just meeting Baoyu, Jiang Yuhan said "we meet again", this is the reason.
It's a pity that Baoyu was so fascinated that he didn't recognize this old friend.
Now two people who share the same disease meet each other at Feng Ziying's house.
But it seems like they were separated not long ago.
When Liu Xianglian heard him mention the rules, she explained a few more words and said:
"Of course I know the rules, but you also know that Baoyu is just like us. After all, he is different from other people. Out of the friendship between friends, I can't ignore it."
Since he came back, he has been playing with guns and swords all day long, gambling and eating wine, sleeping in flowers and willows, playing flute and zither, and doing everything.
The original family's modest foundation could not afford such a squandering.
No one knows where he got the capital.
In his early years, he also sang on stage with "Jade Love".
One plays a niche role, and the other plays a leading role.
Even now, I still occasionally visit people.
This makes people who don't know his identity inevitably think of him as an actor.
Thinking that he earned reward money from these.
Later, Liu Xianglian was invited to have a drink and met Baoyu by chance.
Baoyu didn't recognize him at that time.
It was only afterward that Liu Xianglian thought about her love of protecting him in the early years, and then she took the initiative to recognize him.
The two thought about their common friends again.
It was Qin Zhong who had no news after returning to his hometown.
All of a sudden, I was feeling sad.
Since then, the two have moved around more and become closer.
When asked by Baoyu about her past life, Liu Xianglian only said that she was not material for reading.
I just went out and fooled around for a few years.
Hearing Liu Xianglian's explanation at this time, Jiang Yuhan felt a little emotional, sighed softly, and said:
"They say that Xianglian has a cold face and a cold heart, but who would have thought that our cold-faced Erlang is actually a good man with a cold face and a warm heart, who values love and righteousness?"

Losing her parents since she was a child, Liu Xianglian has experienced the warmth and ups and downs of the world.
And because he was coveted by others when he was young, he was particularly wary of outsiders.
Especially those who wanted to get close to him were even more cold-eyed.
Therefore, he got the nickname Cold-faced Erlang.
Compared with nicknames like "Xiang Lian", Liu Xianglian is very satisfied with her new nickname.
From now on, I prefer to treat people coldly.
At this time, when his old friend mentioned this nickname, he was not annoyed at all and just said:
"This is not the place to talk. Let's meet at the usual place later."
Jiang Yuhan was also afraid of being seen, so she nodded and said:
"good."
When Liu Xianglian heard this, she stopped pestering him and walked past him silently.
As he passed by, Jiang Yuhan couldn't help but whisper:
"Although he is similar to us, he is ultimately different from us."
At this time, Baoyu had already solved the problem and came back from there.
The two of them passed each other without any pause.
The banquet was over, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After Baoyu and Jiang Yuhan met again, they returned home contentedly.
Later in the evening, Liu Xianglian arrived as promised.
In a secret courtyard, Jiang Yuhan had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as I entered the hall, I saw that there was no one else in the room.
Liu Xianglian sat down unceremoniously.
Without saying any greetings, he said directly:
"Say it."
"snort!"
Seeing his attitude, Jiang Yuhan snorted coldly.
She rolled her eyes at him with some dissatisfaction and then said:
"You can rest assured. Now that the empress of the Rong Mansion has given birth to a prince, she is at the height of her power. Who dares to deal with his family?"
Liu Xianglian also felt that it made sense, but she was still confused:
"Then why did you approach Baoyu?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuhan rolled his eyes and said angrily:
"I've been close to a lot of people. Yesterday, I was still at the Prince's Mansion in Beijing. Why didn't you ask?"
He wanders among the dignitaries of various governments every day, and it is normal to approach anyone.
But the two of them know each other very well, so naturally they won't be fooled easily.
Liu Xianglian waved her hands after hearing this and said directly:
"Don't beat me to it, you know what I mean."
After hearing this, Jiang Yuhan still did not answer directly, but said with some dissatisfaction:
"You think Baoyu is the same as us, but that's just the appearance!"
He looked at Liu Xianglian with aggrieved face and asked himself:
"Has he ever been bullied or peed all over his face? No."
"Has he ever been cornered and forced to entertain others with sex? No."
Speaking of this, Jiang Yuhan became a little excited, and then sneered:
"Although he looks somewhat similar to us, but with the support of the big tree in Rongfu, no raindrop can hit his head!"
Seeing Liu Xianglian still looking cold and completely indifferent.
He couldn't help but asked with a bit more resentment:
"And what about us? No matter how hard the wind blows, how can anyone support us?"
After hearing this, Liu Xianglian sighed and said:
"What does it have to do with him when we are bullied? You also said that he is similar to us, so if he is not bullied, shouldn't we be happy for him?"
He knew that Baoyu was well protected.
But it is precisely because of this that he can live the way he wants.
Liu Xianglian thought it was a good thing that Baoyu was not bullied.
But Jiang Yuhan obviously didn't think so.
"Happy?"
He looked at Liu Xianglian in disbelief, and then said with a sad face:
"If we hadn't joined the Dragon Scale Guard, we might still have been trampled on by others, or we might have died somewhere in the corner! How could we be happy for others?"
It turned out that after the two dropped out of school, they were introduced to the Dragon Scale Guard by chance.
Having been bullied, they cherish opportunities more than anyone else.
Compared with the complaints from other colleagues, they gritted their teeth and stood firm.
Made it through the final stage of training.
Of course, those eliminated are not dead.
It's just that the levels in the Dragon Scale Guard are different, and the work they do is also different.
Some may have no choice but to sneak into various houses and become maids or domestic servants.
Some may be sent to brothels to learn about the market.
And they have the blessing of life experience and endured countless trainings until the end.
When I returned to the capital, it became what it is now.
Compared to other colleagues, I still have my former self.
Both of them cherish everything they have now.
Hearing Jiang Yuhan's resentful words, Liu Xianglian retorted:
"Baoyu is different from others, not only because he is similar to us, but also because he has supported us."
"support?"
Jiang Yuhan's face was full of questions, and she asked in a dumbfounded way:
"That's just someone who provoked him. Has he looked at you and me more since then?"
Since then, Baoyu has had little contact with the two.
Later, Qin Zhong disappeared, and he spent three days fishing and two days drying nets.
Even when Jia Zheng was doing academic work, Baoyu simply stopped going to school.
I spent the whole day hanging out with Mrs. Shi and her sisters.
Although the two of them didn't know what happened, they did see Baoyu not many times.
But in this regard, Liu Xianglian only had one sentence:
"Once is enough."
Because someone held an umbrella for him, he didn't want that person to get caught in the rain.
Even if it was only once, it was a rare warmth when he was young!
This was one of the last soft spots in Leng Mian Erlang's heart.
To do this, he did not hesitate to break the rules.
Jiang Yuhan came to ask if the Dragon Scale Guard wanted to deal with Baoyu.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuhan couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"Our rules are there, I really can't say much to you."
She couldn't say much, but Jiang Yuhan couldn't help but add:
"All I can say is that the person probably just wanted to hit him, and he didn't think it was too much."
He did not reveal his mission, only some of his guesses.
But this is already the end of benevolence and justice.
Rules are rules!
If the people above knew about it, neither of them would be able to live without food.
In fact, Jiang Yuhan really didn't know either.
The task he received was to get close to Baoyu.
Also, find a way to leave something private with the other person.
In Jiang Yuhan's opinion, it was nothing more than ruining Baoyu's reputation.
Come to think of it, it's nothing to the noble disciples.
"That's good."
Liu Xianglian, who had always been cold-faced, felt a slight relief on her face when she heard this.
It's rare to show a soft color, and she actually looks a bit more feminine than Jiang Yuhan.
Such an expression only lasts for a moment.
It returned to its previous coldness.
The strife between big shots is beyond his control.
In fact, as long as it doesn't hurt your life, it's fine.
Seeing Liu Xianglian worried about Baoyu, Jiang Yuhan felt a little complicated.
He suddenly asked with some expectation:
"If one day I am in trouble, will you worry about me like this?"
"nature."
Liu Xianglian didn't hesitate at all.
When Jiang Yuhan heard this, her whole body relaxed slightly.
He didn't speak any more, only showing a relieved smile.
In the next few days, Jiang Yuhan and Baoyu had frequent contacts.
The relationship between the two has become closer and closer, and they can't wait to get together outside every day.
On this day, Jia Zheng called his two sons to the study room to prepare for the school examination.
After taking Baoyu's test for a few sentences, a disciple suddenly came over and said:
"Someone from Prince Zhongshun's residence has come and wants to see the master by name."
