Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 53 [053] Grandma Liu is a matchmaker, Xue Baochai is half sour
"quack"

A burst of noisy calls of wild ducks suddenly came from the nearby lake.

Lin Daiyu's bewitched eyes regained clarity, and she hurriedly shrunk her cheeks back. Her white and jade-like neck stretched out a charming curve obliquely, like a swan stretching its neck, looking noble, elegant and refined.

Jia Chen's affectionate and misty eyes also brightened up suddenly, and he suddenly realized that this is ancient times, where men and women are very particular about defense, if he kisses Lin Daiyu himself, how will sister Lin behave in the future?

Also, it's bad for your reputation.

Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future, so there is no rush for this moment.

Taking a deep breath, Jia Chen calmed down his chaotic heartbeat, and slowly loosened his arms around Lin Daiyu's waist.

Lin Daiyu took two steps back with dodge eyes, her cheeks were pink and glowing, charming and charming.

Seeing this scene on the other side, Xue Baochai felt a little sour for some reason.

She is fourteen years old this year. She has reached the age of first love. She has read a lot of books and has a lot of flair. When she is in a trance, a poem suddenly pops up in her mind:

"Looking at the moon and protecting each other, I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals."

Now she is alone, but Jia Chen and sister Lin are in a pair, which makes Xue Baochai feel lost and lonely, as well as a little envious and yearning.

The boy knows Mu Shaoai, and so does the girl.

Girls' feelings are always poetry, which girl doesn't have spring?
Xue Baochai was congenitally strong, full of qi and blood, and developed early, so she naturally matured earlier than other girls.

In addition, she secretly read a lot of miscellaneous books that violated the etiquette, such as "Hui Zhen Ji", also known as "The Story of the West Chamber", and she has accepted the enlightenment of the relationship between men and women.

Under the influence of her ears and eyes, she has already lost her love, and her heart is floating.

Across the tens of feet wide lake, Jia Chen didn't notice Xue Baochai's complex expression and the infatuation in his eyes, but fixed his eyes on Lin Daiyu's pretty face.

Grandma Liu is old and smart. Seeing this situation, she immediately understood Jia Chen's thoughts. In order to repay Jia Chen's life-saving grace, she quickly became a matchmaker and said:
"Uncle Chen's body is so strong! He's even stronger than my peasant son-in-law. If anyone can marry him, it will be a blessing for eight lifetimes."

Grandma Liu is a rough person, she doesn't know how to say elegant words, but can only say some simple and down-to-earth good things sincerely.

Jia Chen was a little speechless, and thought to himself:
You old woman wants to play the side drum for me, I accept the favor, but can't you boast how handsome I am?Why do you keep praising me for being strong?
Of course, I am really strong. Although I haven't reached the point where I can control eight girls overnight, but it is still no problem to surrender two or three at the same time.

Lin Daiyu is ice-snow and intelligent. Although Grandma Liu didn't speak clearly, she has already realized that the other party is trying to match her and Jia Chen.

In the past, Lin Daiyu's feelings for Jia Chen were only on the level of a close friend.

However, this time the window paper was pierced by Grandma Liu, Lin Daiyu felt a ripple in her heart, but the spring tide suddenly calmed down in an instant. It's a little too early.

Knowing that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Jia Chen took the initiative to change the subject and smiled at Grandma Liu:
"No wonder I didn't see you and Ban'er when I came out of Lian's second sister-in-law's room just now, so you ran here.

Take the board to find Lian's second sister-in-law. She is a busy person, so she has some free time during the lunch time. "

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Chen, for your reminder, let's go there now!"

Grandma Liu bared her incomplete front teeth, smiling so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, her face was wrinkled together, like a black walnut.

She pulled the board and bowed several times to Jia Chen and Lin Daiyu, then left in a hurry.

Jia Chen looked at Lin Daiyu and said with a smile:

"That branch you just threw was just in time, or I would have fallen into the lake and become a drowned chicken."

Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and laughed:
"Brother Chen is an eagle that can fly, he will not become a drowned rat, he will only become a drowned eagle."

Jia Chen smiled and said:

"Then I'll teach you lightness kung fu as soon as possible, and the two of us will live and fly together, and become drowned eagles together."

Lin Daiyu said coquettishly:

"Brother Chen, what are you talking about? Who wants to stay and fly with you?"

After Grandma Liu's matchmaking just now, Lin Daiyu had already developed an ambiguous affection for Jia Chen that went beyond friendship, but now that Jia Chen flirted with her, Xia Fei's cheeks flew like a deer.

Jia Chen knew that Lin Daiyu was thin-skinned, and had always adhered to the strict etiquette of men and women's defense. He should not act too hastily, but should take it slow.

Anyway, in the future, they will be able to spend time together and get along day and night, so there is no rush for this moment.

Jia Chen laughed and said:
"You haven't learned qinggong yet, even if you want to fly with me, you can't fly. I'm going to find Mr. Zheng, why don't you walk with me?"

Lin Daiyu rolled her pretty eyes, pursed her lips, and said angrily:
"Flying together is possible. As for sleeping together, I haven't thought about it. Anyway, I have to pass Rongxi Hall when I go back, so I'll walk with you along the way."

The corners of Jia Chen's lips twitched slightly, and he always felt that the word "Shuangfei" seemed to have been seen in his previous life, as if it was a tiger-wolf word, but he didn't expect it to come out of Lin Daiyu's mouth, it was really insulting.

Side by side, the two of them crossed the trestle bridge built across the lake, and were greeted and sent off by swarms of bees, waves and butterflies, passing through flowers and willows, caressing stones and springs, and meandering towards Rongxi Hall.

Seeing Jia Chen and Lin Daiyu chatting and laughing, and getting closer, Xue Baochai hurriedly hid behind a rockery.

In her watery almond eyes, there was a touch of loss and melancholy, her heart was ups and downs, and her depression was steaming, which turned into a faint sigh.

She peeked and saw Jia Chen and Lin Daiyu passing the rockery, passing through the flowers, gradually drifting away, and finally disappeared in the depths of a swaying bamboo forest.

"The ancients never deceived me, they only envied mandarin ducks and not immortals!" Xue Baochai sighed with emotion.

Just as she finished speaking, a male voice suddenly came from behind her:
"Sister Bao, who are you envious of?"

Xue Baochai looked back, and met Jia Baoyu's big eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Scared me, it turned out to be Brother Bao, where are you going?"

Xue Baochai clutched her chest and let out a long breath, inexplicably embarrassed, as if someone had discovered the secret in her heart and hurriedly changed the subject.

Jia Baoyu teased innocently and said:
"I was going to play with Sister Lin. I didn't expect to meet you here and hear you talking about Yuanyang. Next time I see my ancestor, I will tell her sister Yuanyang that you often talk about her."

Xue Baochai was ashamed and anxious, and slapped Jia Baoyu's body with a handkerchief, saying angrily:
"Let you be stupid! You don't learn well at such a young age. You are not allowed to tell others that I am reciting some poems like mandarin ducks, otherwise, I will ignore you in the future!"

Xue Baochai, who has always been stable and generous, lost his composure and acted coquettishly.

Jia Baoyu was bewildered looking at such a naive, coquettish and lovely elder sister Bao.

Seeing no one around, he suddenly felt impulsive and wanted to hug Xue Baochai to get closer.

On the other side, Jia Chen and Lin Daiyu walked to the door of Rongxi Hall talking and laughing.

The time we spend together is precious, but we have to bid farewell, Jia Chen smiled wistfully:

"Sister Lin, you go back first, I will bring you food at night."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Lin Daiyu reluctantly agreed, and walked away step by step.
