But when Jia Baoyu thought about his freedom, he was so happy that he even forgot most of the pain in his buttocks. When he saw the attacker She Yue was about to dress up again, he subconsciously sat upright on the spring stool, and then started to moan again.

With one voice, he jumped more than half a foot high.

"Second Master, be careful!"

She Yue hurriedly supported her, but Xi Ren, who was always one step ahead, was slow. It was not until She Yue reminded her that she went to tidy up the messy hair on his head, and finally managed to get a little braid, trying to fix it with a hairpin.

, but it inexplicably scratched the wound on Baoyu's scalp, causing him to grin and grin.

"She Yue, it's you who do it."

Xiren withdrew his trembling hand, handed the Su Chai to She Yue, turned his back and wiped his eyes vigorously with his sleeve.

Seeing her like this, Baoyu's mood suddenly dropped a few degrees, and he was so happy that he opened his mouth to promise something to Xiren, but he thought that since he wanted to escape into Buddhism, he could no longer be a flower monk or a fake monk.

?

He hesitated to speak for a long time, and finally just sighed, turning his back and no longer looking at the attacker.

Just like that, at the second quarter of Maozheng [8:30 in the morning], Jia Baoyu, who had redressed himself, walked towards the front yard surrounded by Jiao Shun and Jia Lian.

On the way, I bumped into Baochai coming out of the bridal chamber.

Seeing her being led by the red ribbon, Baoyu felt his throat tightening. He held up his hat uncomfortably, then bowed his hands and said awkwardly: "Sister Bao, I, I..."

Seeing that he had something to say, Xi Niang, who was pulling the red ribbon, stopped immediately, but Baochai behind her showed no intention of stopping and continued to walk forward without looking away.

Xiniang thought Baochai was wearing a hijab, but failed to see that Baoyu was beside her, so she quickly reminded her: "Miss Baochai, it's the second master..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt a force coming along the ribbon, and she was caught off guard and took off her hand.

Seeing the ribbon fluttering forward with Baochai, Jia Baoyu suddenly felt as if there was an empty space in his heart, so without thinking, he rushed over to grab the red ribbon and blurted out: "Sister, stay here."

,I……"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he caught this end, Xue Baochai let go of the other end, and the ribbon rolled back with the wind, hitting Jia Baoyu in the face with a snap. Jia Baoyu closed his eyes subconsciously, and when he opened his eyes again,

But there was already a trace of fragrance in front of me.

He clutched the red ribbon with a sense of loss, and there was no movement as if the clay and wood sculptures were there.

Seeing this, Xiniang folded her hands aside, not knowing what to do.

Finally, it was Jiao Shun who came forward to fetch the red ribbon, handed it back to Xi Niang, and asked her to chase Xue Baochai quickly.

Jia Lian scolded angrily from the side: "Aren't you too full to hold on? It's obviously you who did everything yourself, but now they want to break up with you, but you are still connected?"

As he said this, Jia Baoyu's face turned green and red for a while.

Previously, he was completely focused on Sister Lin and treated Sister Bao without any pretense. However, now that it was Sister Bao's turn to treat him without pretense, he found it difficult to adapt.

Jiao Shun looked sideways at Jia Lian, thinking that Mr. Lian seemed to have a lot of insight into emotional issues recently, and it seemed that more experiences can really make people grow.

By the time we arrived at Rongxi Hall, there were already crowds of people inside and outside.

In the middle sat Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, and on either side were distinguished guests such as King Beijing and Uncle Yong Yi. There was an empty chair in the middle, but it was reserved for Jiao Shun.

Jiao Shun declined a few words and took a seat in the empty seat. Then someone shouted loudly and ushered the bride and groom into the hall.

Amidst the auspicious words from the talented man and the beautiful woman, the ceremony of worshiping heaven and earth officially began. Although everyone cheered and congratulated, they couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"What's going on with the groom?"

Others didn't dare to ask, but Yongyi Boniu Jizong didn't shy away from it. He leaned sideways and asked Jiao Shun curiously: "When people worship heaven and earth, they always bow with their hands, but why does he always hold up the hat on his head?"

Jiao Shun smiled and said: "Maybe the hat doesn't fit well and I'm afraid it will fall off."

"How could this not fit?"

Niu Jizong was dubious. A small family couldn't afford to buy clothes. They rented ready-made clothes, shoes and hats, which might not fit. But what kind of family was Rongguo Mansion?

Baoyu's body is high-end custom-made from head to toe, how could it possibly not fit her?

Especially a hat whose problem can be seen at a glance.

Fortunately, the visit didn't take long, and soon Tongzan loudly shouted "Let's go to the bridal chamber together". Then Jia Baoyu hurriedly grabbed one end of the ribbon and looked nervously at Baochai.

I'm afraid she will refuse again.

Fortunately, Baochai did not refuse this time and gently grabbed the other end that Xi Niang handed over.

Baoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and led Baochai out of the Rongxi Hall from the side door. He turned around to say a few words, but he heard Baochai say calmly: "If Mr. Bao is tired, let Ying'er lead the way."

yes."

After saying that, he let go of the red satin without hesitation and stretched out his hand towards Ying'er beside him.

Ying'er subconsciously raised her head to look at Baoyu, only to see Baoyu looking over for help. In the past, as a die-hard supporter of a good relationship, she should have given both parties a step down.

But now...

Ying'er lowered her head with a sullen face, and silently took Xue Baochai's extended hand. The master and the servant just passed Baoyu, and never looked at Baoyu again from the beginning to the end.

Baoyu stretched out his hands towards their backs in vain, but in the end he could only lower his arms dejectedly.

It wasn't until they were enthroned on the bed that the two leaned against each other again. However, no matter how lively and cheerful the atmosphere in the bridal chamber was, Baoyu still felt an inexplicable loneliness, as if Sister Bao, who was so close at hand, was actually far away from him.

Infinitely far away.

It's just like……

Just like the elusive Miss Lin!

Jia Baoyu's heart throbbed unconsciously, and her irritability and regret almost reached its peak.

If he had known this would be the case, he might not have acted so recklessly this morning.

But is it too late to regret now?

He hesitated and turned his head to look at Xue Baochai beside him. Although he had known that she was a beauty, she looked particularly dazzling today - even though she was still covered with a hijab.

The various periods are not listed in detail.

But in the evening, Jia Baoyu was invited to the front yard to toast at the table. Because Wei Ruolan and Feng Ziying were the ones who started to make trouble for him, even though they had mixed the water in advance, they were still drunk.

When he was sent into the bridal chamber in a daze, he forgot about what he had done before, rolled up his sleeves and picked up the weighing beam with great interest, and was about to step forward and take off Baochai's hijab.

However, Baochai suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the scale beam, then pulled off his hijab, staring coldly at Jia Baoyu and said: "Second Master wants to go back on his promise again?"

"me……"

Jia Baoyu was splashed with cold water. He was panicked at first, but seeing Baochai's facial features becoming more and more attractive, he couldn't help but apologize with a drunken smile: "I, I was wrong, I actually...

…actually, I……"

"Second Master, respect yourself."

Xue Baochai interrupted him, looked directly into Jia Baoyu's eyes and asked, "If I obey the Second Master today, will the Second Master dare to swear never to mention Sister Lin again?"

In fact, before asking this question, Xue Baochai already had the answer in his heart.

And Jia Baoyu's performance was just as she expected. He was stunned for a moment, then slowly backed away, and finally sat down in front of the round table, dejectedly taking off the hat on his head.

Looking at the burning scabies, the last hope in Xue Baochai's heart disappeared.

I don't know how long it took, but Jia Baoyu put on her hat silently and walked out of the bridal chamber with heavy steps.

As a result, as soon as I arrived in the living room, I met two pairs of red and swollen eyes.

One pair belonged to Xi Ren, and the other pair belonged to Ying'er. Xi Ren's eyes were full of despair when he looked over, while Ying'er's eyes were full of confusion and hatred. It seemed that until now, she still didn't understand why he did what he did.

Jia Baoyu hesitated to speak, but finally lowered his head and walked out silently like a defeated duck.

"Second Master Bao?"

When the maids and servants who were keeping watch outside saw him coming out, they all bowed to greet him.

Baoyu waved his hands, exhausted both physically and mentally: "Please step aside, I want to be alone and quiet."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing which song he was singing, but in the end they did not dare to disobey his instructions, so they all bowed and left the courtyard.

When there was no one around, Baoyu sat on the railing of the corridor, looking up at the misty night sky and feeling dazed.

"You kid, if you're not guarding your wife in the house, what are you doing outside?!"

I don't know how long it took, but a scolding voice suddenly interrupted Jia Baoyu's thoughts. When Baoyu looked up blankly, it was Mrs. Wang who had arrived in front of him at some point.

"I……"

Baoyu opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain.

"Why are you so clueless?!"

Mrs. Wang poked his forehead with her finger and said angrily: "Why don't you try to apologize to her, and then take the opportunity to coax her, what's the problem between the couple?!"

Jia Baoyu, who was originally looking for love, suddenly became rebellious after hearing these words. He tilted his head and rubbed his neck and said: "Madam said it simply, but aren't you and the master also at odds with each other?"

"you!"

Mrs. Wang didn't expect that he would dare to expose this matter to her face. She was so angry that her chest was tight and short of breath. She gritted her teeth and said: "You evildoer, I'm not saying this for your own good? Why are you meddling in my business?!"

At this moment, someone outside suddenly heard someone laughing and saying, "On this special day, you two, mother and son, are not in the house guarding my precious girl, but what are you whispering outside?"

Before he finished speaking, Yuanyang walked in supporting the old lady.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly forced out a smile, stepped forward and said, "Old lady, why are you here so late?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I came to see the groom and the bride."

The old lady said, then looked at Baoyu who was also smiling reluctantly: "When we get married, we won't dare to mess around like before - let's go and see your wife."

Jia Baoyu hesitated for a moment, then bravely held the old lady's other hand.

The old lady's eyesight was not good, and the sky was dark, so she didn't realize anything was wrong with the mother and son. She walked in and said with a smile: "You two will take a photo with me tomorrow, and I will print more."

, if you want to keep them, just keep two for memento, and burn the rest to me when I lay them in the ground, I'll be fine too..."

"Old lady, you are destined to live a long life!"

"Haha, if you really live a long life, I will wait until you have children and then take a picture with them..."

As Jia Mu said this, she was suddenly startled when she saw the scene of Ying'er and Xi Ren - mainly because their eyes were so swollen that they couldn't hide them.

"What are you two doing?"

Ying'er looked at Jia Baoyu, gritted her teeth and wanted to say something, but the attacker grabbed her by the corner of her clothes and said first, "I don't know what kind of spice it was. I felt itchy in the afternoon, and now it's even more swollen."

"Then hurry up..."

The old lady wanted to say that she should see a doctor quickly, but then she thought that this was Baoyu's best day, so she waved her hand and said: "If it doesn't feel better tomorrow, then ask a doctor to take a look."

Xiren and Ying'er agreed.

Jia Mu stopped looking at them. As she walked in, she asked Mrs. Wang in a low voice whether these two had contracted any infectious disease. If it was true, they should separate quickly and don't let Baoyu and Baoyu pass by.

Baochai.

Mrs. Wang said a few perfunctory words absently, and when she entered the door, she saw Baochai had already stood up to greet her, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

The old lady stood in front of Baochai and looked up and down. Although she liked Daiyu more, she had to admit that the Baochai in front of her had no choice in terms of figure and appearance, and she seemed to be a good childbearer at first glance.

.

Then he smiled and said: "I have watched you two grow up, and it is not my old woman's turn to talk about anything else. I only have one thing..."

After counting to this point, he took Baoyu's hand and brought it to Baochai: "I will leave this skinned monkey to you from now on."

Baochai looked at Baoyu's hand being held over, bit her lip lightly, but refused to raise her hand to greet it.

"What's wrong?"

The old lady waited for a while, then smiled and said: "Girl, why are you so embarrassed? From now on, you will be a married couple, and there will be many things that are closer than this!"

With that said, he also reached out and grabbed one of Baochai's hands, and put it into Baoyu's hand.

Jia Baoyu subconsciously extended his fingers, his eyes filled with anticipation.

However, Baochai hesitated for a moment, then took back the catkin with force, and said with a smile: "Old lady, let's sit down and talk, so as not to tire you."

"Yes, yes, sit down and talk, sit down and talk!"

Although she was dissatisfied with Baochai's approach, Mrs. Wang was busy trying to smooth things over.

But the old lady was not easy to fool today. She immediately lowered her face and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? What are you two causing trouble?"

After saying that, he looked sideways at Baoyu: "Baoyu, have you made Bao Yatou angry again?!"

"This...I..."

Baoyu was hesitant, and it was clear from his appearance that there was something wrong.

Mrs. Wang was afraid that he might have missed something, so she rushed aside and grabbed Baoyu and said, "The old lady doesn't know about him yet, it must be because of Girl Lin's incident."

Jia Mu nodded understandingly, then turned to look at Baochai: "Bao girl, I know you must be unhappy that he misses Yu'er like this, but you also know that the two brothers and sisters have been together since childhood.

The love is no better than that of others, and now there is no news about Yu'er's life or death. If he doesn't care about her at all, wouldn't he become a ruthless and unjust person?!"

"old lady."

Baochai glanced at Jia Baoyu opposite, but hesitated to speak.

The old lady said again: "You are older than him, and you have been smart and sensible since you were a child. Don't argue with him about these things - after all, you are also his wife whom he is marrying, and the emperor personally proposed the marriage, so whoever comes,

I can’t get past you!”

With that said, he went to hold Xue Baochai's hand.

But this time Xue Baochai simply shrank his hands and dodged.

Jia Mu was relieved, and her face was a little uneasy. Just as she was about to say a few more words to Baochai, she suddenly saw Ying'er stumbling towards her. She knelt down with a thud and said angrily: "Old lady, you are not our girl.

Being petty, Second Master Bao has really gone too far - if you don't believe it, just ask him to take off his hat and you will know!"

"What the hell are you talking about, girl?!"

Mrs. Wang scolded her hurriedly, then smiled at the old lady and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense, I will deal with this later..."

"Baoyu!"

But Jia Mu didn't listen to her at all. She pointed at the hat on Baoyu's head and said, "Take off this hat!"

"this……"

Baoyu looked hesitant.

Mrs. Wang: "Old lady..."

"Pick it!"

The old lady shouted again.

Baoyu gritted his teeth and finally slowly took off his hat, revealing his scabrous head like a dog gnawing.
Chapter completed!
