Seeing that Jiao Shun seemed to have finished his work, Xue Baochai tightened her cloak and thought it would be better to wait for him to leave and then go to the guest house to join the sisters.

She thought simply, but unexpectedly, Jiao Shun walked out of the pavilion and walked directly towards this side.

Xue Baochai was a little flustered for no reason. She wanted to dodge, but was afraid that Jiao Shun would misunderstand him because he was too deliberate. Besides, there was no hiding place nearby, so he had to calm down and take two steps forward to greet him first.

"She is indeed my sister."

Jiao Shun returned the gift and said with a smile: "I just saw you here alone in the pavilion, and I was afraid that I had made a mistake - why did my sister come out alone in such heavy snow?"

"I was going to the guest house for an appointment in Xiangyun. I was followed by Ying'er and two little maids. Unexpectedly, Ying'er dropped her bracelet on the way, so she hurriedly took people to find it." Xue Baochai explained as he explained.

, while walking around Jiao Shun, keeping a sufficient distance from him and continuing to move forward, he asked: "Brother Jiao, why didn't you accompany Xiangyun and the others to play cards at home, instead of hiding out alone?"

What a good Yinger!

It’s worth all your hard work that day!

"Sister, I forgot that when I beat you all afternoon, you didn't want to play with me anymore."

Jiao Shun said, and sighed intentionally or unintentionally: "I didn't want that psychic jade to be lost like this. I heard that Brother Bao's name came from it. I thought he would be very sad. I didn't expect that when I asked him just now,

He seemed very free and easy, and he said straight away that he suddenly opened the golden rope and broke the jade lock here."

After hearing this, Baochai subconsciously reached out and touched the gold necklace around his neck. After a while, he said calmly: "He has wisdom. Naturally, he is not like ordinary people like me, who can't put it down if he can pick it up."

As he spoke, he was already not far from the pavilion. Seeing that Baochai had been walking towards the guest courtyard and had no intention of stopping here, Jiao Shun rolled his eyes and immediately lowered his voice and said: "Sister

Have you ever met Daiyu just now?"

Hearing him mention Sister Lin, Xue Baochai stopped unconsciously and sighed: "If she hadn't taken off her veil, I wouldn't have dared to recognize her - thank you for your willingness to indulge her. If something went wrong, what would happen?"

There might be some trouble."

"I have already given in to her, so naturally I have to find somewhere else to make amends."

While Jiao Shun was speaking, he naturally walked around in front of her and said seriously with a serious face: "Actually, I have a few words that I have wanted to give to my sister for a long time, but I didn't know whether to say them seriously or not."

As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed to the pavilion next to him: "If my sister doesn't mind, how about we go to that pavilion and talk about it?"

Hearing the word 'persuade', Baochai reflexively misunderstood, thinking that it was no wonder his wife had not taken any action. It turned out that she had asked Brother Jiao to come forward.

Youxin flatly refused, but considering Jiao Shun's current status, it was hard to offend him.

So after hesitating for a moment, Baochai followed Jiao Shun into the pavilion.

Jiao Shun entered the pavilion, stamped the slush off his shoes, and then found a clean place to sit down.

But Baochai just stood at the entrance of the pavilion, waiting quietly for him to speak. Her attitude could not be said to be that of rejecting people thousands of miles away, but she also strictly maintained the distance between men and women.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun immediately used the topic and said: "What I want to say is that my sister has tightened herself up all day long. No matter how much pain and troubles she has, she can only feel stuffy and stiff in her stomach. If things go on like this, she will only

I’m afraid I’ll become depressed and ill!”

After a pause, he explained: "Sister Lin noticed this first. As you know, she is always sharp-tongued and doesn't say a word to each other, but in fact she has been worried about you in her heart."

Xue Baochai didn't expect what Jiao Shun was going to say. She was stunned for a moment and then said: "Brother Lao Jiao and Sister Lin are thinking about me. I'm... okay now."

She wanted to say 'very good', but she really couldn't say such ambiguous words.

Jiao Shun shook his head after hearing this: "In front of me, sister, why should I deceive myself? As for the things Baoyu has done, I don't know every single one of them. It doesn't sound right to me. If I were my sister,

, I'm afraid that I would have fought to the death with Baoyu."

"What Brother Jiao said..."

Baochai frowned: "Do you want me to make a big fuss with Baoyu?"

"Of course not!"

Jiao Shun flatly denied it and stood up and said: "What I mean is that since you don't want to make a big fuss, you have to learn to resolve yourself and vent yourself. Let's put it this way, even if you cry a lot, you will be worse than the walking corpse you are now.

Looks strong."

After a pause, he added again: "To tell you the truth, I don't know how many times my aunt has shed tears in front of my mother because of your affairs."

When Baochai heard her mother crying to Aunt Xu, Baochai couldn't help but darken her face, and then smiled bitterly and said, "So what if I cry?"

"It can't be anything, but at least it can vent the accumulated emotions!"

Jiao Shun said flatly: "If you don't want to cry, then do something you wouldn't do normally, whether it's hysterical, arrogant or rude, in short, just put aside the troubles in your heart, even if it's just temporary!"

"For example..."

As he spoke, he looked around for a few times, then suddenly walked to the railing facing the water, stretched out his hand to support the railing, quickly rolled out of the pavilion and stood on the ice, and then under Baochai's puzzled eyes, he started

I tried gliding on the ice, but almost fell down.

He awkwardly held on to the railing, looked at the soles of his shoes sideways, and muttered, "These boots are pretty good at preventing slippage."

Xue Baochai covered the smile at the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and was about to say something when her beautiful eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

But it turned out that Jiao Shun rolled up his coat without saying a word, and directly pulled off half of the sleeves from his underwear. Then he walked to the shore and folded a few thick willow branches, and tied the torn strips of sleeves to the soles of his shoes.

Immediately he tried gliding on the ice again.

This time his movements were obviously much smoother.

When he was almost used to it, Jiao Shun took a few steps and slid seven or eight meters back to the pavilion. Then he turned ninety degrees and extended his hand to Xue Baochai to invite him: "Sister, you might as well come and try."

Xue Baochai already understood what he meant by this time, but...

Seeing her delay in answering, Jiao Shun sighed and said, "Come on, let's just think it's an unnecessary step on my part. Let's go back to the guest house quickly."

As he said that, he was about to turn back into the pavilion. "Unexpectedly" he had just raised one of his legs, and his foot suddenly slipped, and he fell to the ground with an "ouch"!

"Brother Jiao?!"

Xue Baochai was startled and rushed to the railing to check. Seeing Jiao Shun holding his waist and grinning, he said anxiously: "Are you okay? Did you get to your waist?!"

"It's nothing serious. It's just that I fell a little hard. Wait for me to calm down..."

As Jiao Shun spoke, he climbed up while holding on to the railing. Just when Xue Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly hugged her over the railing and placed her on the ice.

"Ah~!"

Xue Baochai screamed and struggled to retreat, but her feet slipped and she almost fell.

Jiao Shun helped her, then immediately took a few steps back, laughing and saying: "My sister's voice has always been soft and gentle, but she can be so sharp even if she doesn't want to scream - that's the right thing to say! But shouting loudly on the shore

I'm afraid it might cause misunderstanding, so let's go to the middle of the lake."

After saying that, without waiting for Baochai's response, he walked towards the middle of the artificial lake step by step.

Watching Jiao Shun go away, Xue Baochai finally came back to his senses and remembered what he had done just now. Although he was ashamed and annoyed, he couldn't help but smile. He thought that Brother Jiao usually looked mature and steady, so he didn't want to

There are also times when such nonsense happens. No wonder Xiangyun Marry has been soaked in a honey pot ever since.

Needless to say, in just this moment, the depression in her heart was really relieved a lot - although it was only temporary.

Seeing that Jiao Shun's figure had disappeared in the heavy snow, Xue Baochai hesitated for a long time, then finally bit his silver teeth and followed the footsteps carefully to catch up.

The description of Baochai fluttering at butterflies in the original work is often used to prove that she is deeply scheming, but does this not mean that under her precocious and calm appearance, she still has a lively heart?

Of course, if she hadn't harbored too much resentment and dissatisfaction in her heart, she would never have made such a reckless move.

But Baochai walked cautiously and fearfully. Fortunately, even though her shoes were not as slippery as Jiao Shun's, they were still enough to stand firmly on the ice.

When she arrived near the center of the artificial lake, she found Jiao Shunzheng lying on the ground in a large shape. At first, she thought something had happened, so she hurried a few steps closer, only to see Jiao Shunzheng looking up at the heavy snow in the sky.

"What are you doing?"

"Enjoy the snow!"

As Jiao Shun spoke, he waved his arms up and down, sweeping the snow on the ice and said with a smile: "Watching the snow like this has a different flavor. My sister might as well come and give it a try."

Xue Baochai immediately shook his head like a rattle, and just as he was about to politely refuse, he saw Jiao Shun throwing some willow branches casually: "Then let's ski. If you are afraid of not being able to stand firmly, tie one foot first and use it.

Use the other foot to push and slide."

After saying that, he climbed up on his hands and knees and demonstrated again, then pointed to the tip of the boots and said: "Don't tie it here. You can stop with your toes at critical moments."

Baochai hesitated for a moment, thinking that since she was already here, she had to give it a try, so she bent down and tied one foot first, then followed Jiao Shun's demonstration and started gliding on the ice.

At first, the two of them kept a certain distance. Later, under Jiao Shun's instigation, Baochai tied a thin silk willow branch to the other foot and began to stumble and try real skating. The boundaries between them gradually broke down.

.

First, I held him up and pulled him, but then I accidentally bumped into a rolling gourd.

Xue Baochai was still a little wary at first, but when he saw Jiao Shun get up, he imitated the panicked and clumsy look when he was about to hit him, and then burst into laughter, he relaxed his guard unconsciously, and rolled some snow in shame, and smashed it

It reached Jiao Shun's collar.

Jiao Shun immediately squeezed the snow ball to fight back. Baochai was so frightened that he used his hands and feet to run away. However, when he heard him laughing at his actions from behind, he became angry and turned around to kill him.

At this time, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, covering the earth in thick sheets. The shore was almost invisible in all directions, and only two young people were left shouting on the white ice.

I don’t know how long it took, but after Baochai accidentally fell down, she felt that she didn’t have any extra strength in her body. She simply didn’t get up anymore and slowly turned over, lying on her back in the ice and snow, exhaling water with big mouthfuls.

It was so foggy that I didn't even bother to pay attention to the snowflakes floating into my mouth.

After a while, she suddenly felt Jiao Shun squatting at her feet. She couldn't help but raise her head in confusion, and saw Jiao Shun reaching out to untie the thin silk willow branches on her embroidered shoes, and said: "Lie down for a while and then get up.

It’s time to play and have fun, but don’t catch a cold because of this.”

Baochai subconsciously wanted to shrink her legs to avoid it, but she couldn't use the strength. Thinking that they had never touched each other just now, she simply let Jiao Shun do it.

Jiao Shun removed the paper from the soles of her feet, then reached out to help her up, and patted the snow on her cloak.

Baochai didn't pay attention at first, until the slap landed on a sensitive spot, then she ducked away with an "ouch" and stared at Jiao Shun with shame and vigilance.

Jiao Shun, however, did not shy away from teasing: "Original people say that my sister is comparable to Concubine Yang, but she is not so erect."

Baochai's face turned red, and when he was about to scold him, Jiao Shun laughed and ran away.

Baochai gritted his teeth and chased after a few steps. Then he felt that his legs were sore and weak, and his thighs even had a dull pain. He unconsciously slowed down.

When he finally followed Jiao Shun's footsteps to the shore, he was nowhere to be seen.

Judging from the footprints, he must have returned to the guest house.

Baochai looked at the direction of the guest house from a distance, with mixed feelings in her heart. She regretted not following Jiao Shun's mischief just now, but she also missed the scene of wanton laughter just now.

"girl?"

At this moment, Ying'er finally brought someone to look for her. Seeing that Baochai was fine, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "I've finally found him. If I can't find him again, I should call someone."

As she spoke, she secretly looked around Baochai's body.

"You still have the nerve to say that."

Baochai was inexplicably panicked, and subconsciously retorted: "You obviously ran away without caring, so why did you say that I was lost?"

"Yes, yes, every mistake is my fault."

Ying'er said, pretending to be casual and asked: "Why is the girl still sweating on this cold day?"

"I……"

Baochai tried her best to calm down and said: "Isn't it because I'm in a hurry with you?! If I don't say this, I just slipped and fell, so I won't go to the guest house. You can just help me back."

Ying'er agreed and stepped forward to support Baochai. Seeing that her legs seemed to be apart, she immediately thought of what she had learned before marriage - the girl and Uncle Jiao had indeed progressed to that point!

but……

Didn't it just happen for the first time?

Could it be that it was in this ice and snow that the two of them had skin-to-skin contact for the first time?

No, it seems that there is another situation where this happens.

Thinking of Jiao Shun's majestic body, Ying'er blushed unconsciously. According to the grandmother's private instructions, if she encountered such a situation, she, the dowry maid, would come in handy.
