[053] Grandma Liu is a matchmaker, Xue Baochai is half sour
"Quack quack..."
A burst of wild ducks' chirping suddenly came from the lake nearby.
Lin Daiyu's eyes regained their clarity as if they were intoxicated. She hurriedly pulled back her cheeks, and her jade-white neck stretched backwards to create a charming curve, like a swan stretching its neck, looking noble, elegant, and otherworldly.
Jia Chen's passionate and blurred eyes also suddenly lit up, and he suddenly realized that this was ancient times, and men and women were very particular about guarding against each other. If he kissed Lin Daiyu, how would Sister Lin behave in the future?
Moreover, it is not good for your own reputation.
Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future, so I’m not in a hurry.
Taking a deep breath, Jia Chen calmed down his racing heartbeat and slowly loosened his arms around Lin Daiyu's waist.
Lin Daiyu's eyes dodge and she takes two steps back, her cheeks are rosy and charming.
Xue Baochai saw this scene on the other side, and for some reason, he felt a little sour in his heart.
She is already fourteen years old this year. She has reached the age of first love. She is also well-read and romantic. While in a trance, a poem suddenly comes to her mind:
"Looking at the moon to protect each other, I only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals."
She is now alone, while Jia Chen and Sister Lin are in pairs, which makes Xue Baochai feel lost and lonely, as well as a little envious and yearning.
Young men admire Shao Ai, and so do young girls.
A girl's feelings are always poetry. Which girl doesn't have spring in her heart?
Xue Baochai was born strong, had sufficient energy and blood, and developed early, so she naturally matured earlier than other girls.
In addition, she secretly read many miscellaneous books that violated etiquette and laws, such as "Huizhen Ji", also known as "The Romance of the West Chamber", and she has received enlightenment on the affairs between men and women.
Under the influence of what she heard and saw, she had already begun to understand the charm, and her heart was full of love.
Across the lake that was dozens of feet wide, Jia Chen did not notice the complexity of Xue Baochai's expression and the resentment in his eyes, but fixed his gaze on Lin Daiyu's pretty face.
Grandma Liu was a mature woman. When she saw 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 is so strong! He is stronger than my son-in-law who is a farmer. Anyone who can marry him will be blessed after eight lifetimes."
Grandma Liu is a rough person. She doesn't know how to say literate and beautiful words, but can only sincerely say some simple and down-to-earth words.
Jia Chen was speechless and thought to himself:
You old woman wants to help me out. I accept the favor, but you can't praise me for how handsome I am? Why do you keep praising me for being strong?
Of course, I am indeed strong. Although I have not reached the point where I can conquer eight girls in one night, or the twins of eight girls, but I can still conquer two or three at the same time.
Lin Daiyu was ice-snow and smart. Although Grandma Liu didn't say it clearly, she had already realized that the other party was trying to bring herself and Jia Chen together.
In the past, Lin Daiyu's feelings for Jia Chen were only at the level of close friends.
However, this time the window paper was pierced by Grandma Liu, and Lin Daiyu felt a little ripple in her heart. However, the spring tide suddenly subsided, and it calmed down in an instant. It was not that she didn't like Jia Chen, but that she felt that she was still young and could not consider these things. A little too early.
Jia Chen knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he took the initiative to change the topic and smiled at Grandma Liu:
"No wonder I didn't see you and Ban'er when I came out of Sister-in-law Lian's house just now. It turns out you ran here.
You should quickly take Ban'er to find Sister-in-law Lian, she is a very busy person and she only has some free time during lunch."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Chen for the tip, we'll go there right now!"
Grandma Liu chewed on her missing front teeth and smiled so hard that her teeth were almost invisible, and her face was wrinkled and wrinkled, like a black walnut.
She took Ban'er 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:
"The branch you threw just now was really timely, otherwise, I would have fallen into the lake and become a drowned rat."
Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled:
"Brother Chen is a flying eagle. He will not turn into a drowned eagle, he will only become a drowned eagle."
Jia Chen smiled casually and said:
"Then I will teach you Qinggong as soon as possible, and we will 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 being brought together by Grandma Liu just now, Lin Daiyu had developed an ambiguous feeling for Jia Chen that was beyond friendship. Now that she was flirted with by Jia Chen, her cheeks were flying and her heart was like a deer.
Jia Chen knew that Lin Daiyu was thin-skinned and had always adhered to the strict etiquette of guarding men and women, so he could not act too hastily and had to take things slowly.
Anyway, we can still be close to each other in the future and get along day and night, so we are not in a hurry for this moment.
Jia Chen laughed and said:
"You haven't learned Qinggong yet. Even if you want to stay and fly with me, you can't fly. I'm just about to go find Master Zheng. Why don't you come with me for a walk?"
Lin Daiyu rolled her beautiful eyes, pursed her lips, and said angrily:
"It's okay to fly together, but as for staying together, I haven't thought about it. Anyway, I have to pass by Rongxi Hall when I go back, so I'll just walk with you on the way."
The corners of Jia Chen's lips twitched slightly. He always felt that the word "flying together" seemed to have been seen in the previous life, as if it was a tiger or wolf word, but he didn't expect it to come out of Lin Daiyu's mouth. It was really insulting to the gentle people.
The two people walked side by side, crossing the trestle built across the lake, being welcomed and sent off by swarms of wild bees and butterflies, walking through flowers and willows, caressing stones and springs, and meandering toward the Rongxi Hall.
Seeing Jia Chen and Lin Daiyu talking and laughing as they approached each other, Xue Baochai hurriedly hid behind a rockery.
In her watery, almond-shaped eyes, there was a hint of loss and melancholy, her heart was ups and downs, her depression was steaming, and it turned into a faint sigh.
She took a sneak peek and saw Jia Chen and Lin Daiyu passing through the rockery, passing through the flowers, gradually getting further and further away, and finally disappeared into the depths of a swaying bamboo forest.
"The ancients sincerely did not deceive me. They really only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals!" Xue Baochai sighed with emotion.
As soon 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 looked like a smile but not a smile.
"I was shocked. It turned out to be Brother Bao. Where are you going?"
Xue Baochai covered her chest and took a long breath. She felt inexplicably embarrassed, as if someone had discovered the secret in her heart, and hurriedly changed the subject.
Jia Baoyu said with an innocent smile:
"I was going to play with Sister Lin, but I didn't expect to meet you here and hear you talking about Yuanyang. When I see my ancestor next time, I will tell Sister Yuanyang next to her that you often talk about her."
Xue Baochai was ashamed and anxious. He hit Jia Baoyu with his handkerchief and said angrily:
"You are so stupid! You don't learn well at a young age. You are not allowed to tell others that I am reciting poems like "Mandarin Ducks", otherwise, I will ignore you in the future!"
Xue Baochai, who had always been steady and generous, was in such a state of confusion that she lost her composure and acted coquettishly.
Looking at Sister Bao who was so cute and cute, Jia Baoyu was actually fascinated.
When he saw no one around, he suddenly felt a little impulsive and wanted to hug Xue Baochai and get close to her.
...
On the other side, Jia Chen and Lin Daiyu walked to the door of Rongxi Hall talking and laughing.
The time we spent together was precious, but we had to say goodbye. Jia Chen smiled sadly:
"Sister Lin, please go back first. I will come to bring you food in the evening."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Lin Daiyu reluctantly responded and left with three turns.
