Red Mansion: Holding Space and Marrying Like the Sea

Jia Baoyu frowned and asked in confusion, "Madam, what does this have to do with Aunt Min? Although Aunt Min may not be outstanding in appearance, she is the most gentle and kind person! How could she make you so angry and even smash the house to pieces?"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was so angry that she almost fainted. But she couldn't bear to hit or scold Baoyu, so she could only suppress her anger and said, "Baoyu, mother is a little tired and wants to rest for a while. Why don't you play here with the little maids for a while, and then we can go to the old lady together later?"

When Jia Baoyu heard that Mrs. Wang was tired, he hurriedly said with concern, "Madam, if you are tired, please rest quickly!" In fact, Jia Baoyu did not like listening to Mrs. Wang's nagging at all, and he did not want to come to her residence. It was only because Jia Zheng was going to check his homework today that he had no choice but to take refuge with Mrs. Wang.

After seeing that his mother was indeed fast asleep, Jia Baoyu tiptoed to the corridor and saw Jin Chuan'er, who was concentrating on her needlework. Her neck was as white as snow, with a few faint traces of red on it. This made him very curious, so he walked over quickly.

Jin Chuan'er looked up at the sound of footsteps and saw it was Jia Baoyu. She smiled and nodded to him, then lowered her head to continue her needlework. Jia Baoyu walked closer and looked at Jin Chuan'er carefully. Suddenly, he said, "Sister Jin Chuan, you seem to have become more beautiful recently. Before, you were like a bud waiting to bloom, but now you are like a blooming flower, exuding an alluring charm that makes people want to pick it."

After hearing what Jia Baoyu said, Jin Chuan'er's face flushed instantly. She lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Master Bao, how can you say such nonsense? If the Second Madam heard it, I would be dead." As she spoke, her eyes gradually became moist, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked pitiful.

Seeing Jin Chuan'er crying so sadly, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but panic. He quickly reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Jin Chuan'er's eyes, muttering to himself, "My dear sister, please don't cry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said anything careless to make you angry. But seeing you so beautiful today, as gorgeous as a peony in full bloom in the garden, I can't help but praise you."

After hearing what Jia Baoyu said, Jin Chuan slowly stopped crying and looked up at the young man in front of her. She couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in her heart. She naturally understood the hidden meaning behind Baoyu's words, but she pretended not to know.

Her eyes revealed a hint of complicated emotions, and she responded softly: "Second Master Bao, you'd better go back quickly. If the master can't find you later, he will lose his temper again."

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu showed a little displeasure on his face and muttered, "My dear sister, why do you always say such depressing words? Can't we just have a good chat?" He seemed a little dissatisfied with Jin Chuan always urging him to leave, and hoped to stay with her for a while longer.

However, Jia Baoyu didn't know that his words were heard by Xiren who was passing by. Xiren couldn't help but feel jealous. She secretly vowed to work harder to please Jia Baoyu and never let another maid steal his heart.
