Chapter 112 Baochai Gives Birth to a Child
Baochai was anxious, for she had forgotten about it because she had been holding it in her arms last night. Now that it was in the hands of her sisters, what should she do?
She immediately wanted to rush forward to grab it, but was held back by Daiyu and others.
Xiangyun looked at them for a while and exclaimed again, "Look, do they look like Third Brother and Sister Bao?"
Everyone looked over there, wasn't that right? Although it didn't look strange at first glance, a closer look revealed that his features, stature, and even clothing were exactly the same as those of the two of them.
Daiyu's eyes were filled with envy, and she pouted, "It seems that I was right. Could it be that some scoundrel came from somewhere and acted like a thief here last night?"
"Sister Bao, did Third Brother come early?" Little Xichun asked curiously, looking around as she spoke, as if Jia Cong was hiding in this room.
Baochai was even more embarrassed. "It's just a baby gift that Brother Cong asked Xiangling to send early. It's not worth your teasing. As for the resemblance, it's just your imagination. Maybe Brother Cong just happened to come across it and bought it to make a toy."
"In that case, just give Bao girl to me!" Daiyu snorted.
"If Miss Lin wants it, just go find Brother Cong directly. Maybe Brother Cong can find a pair of senior brothers and junior sisters for her."
Everyone was laughing when they heard the voice of a maid outside, "Greetings, Master Bao!"
Baochai didn't care about fighting with the sisters, and hurriedly begged for mercy, then said, "Sisters, please wait in the hall for a while. You can't let me entertain guests like this. I will go over immediately."
The girls did not feel embarrassed and immediately left the bedroom and went to the front hall to wait.
When Baoyu entered the room, he saw all the sisters were there, and most importantly, the third sister Cong was not there. He was immediately delighted , "Sister Lin, Sister Yun, where are Sister Bao?"
As she said this, she was about to rush to the boudoir. Ying'er, who had just walked out, hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Second Master Bao, my daughter will be out later. Please wait for a moment. I will serve you tea."
Seeing this, the other sisters also hurried forward to pull Baoyu back. Now, although the matter between Baochai and Jia Cong is unclear, the sisters also vaguely know the friendship between the two. If Baoyu is allowed to act recklessly, Jia Cong will definitely make a scene again if he knows about it.
Fortunately, Baochai came out of the room soon. Baoyu couldn't wait to greet her, "Sister Bao, for your life, I spent several days grinding a jar of the best rouge."
As he spoke, he took out a small jar from his sleeve and handed it to Baochai as if offering a treasure. Baochai took it with a smile and placed it in Ying'er's hand beside her, "Thank you, brother Bao!"
"Ah..." Baoyu was a little stunned. He originally thought that Baochai would be very happy and let him help apply rouge. Then he could kiss and taste her. Wouldn't that be a good thing? But although Baochai had a smile on her face, she looked a little distant.
The other sisters also came forward and gave their gifts, and Baochai led everyone to the flower hall to play.
"Sister Bao, I will host a party at noon to celebrate your birthday, okay?" Baoyu approached Baochai, who frowned slightly, but said, "Of course I have to invite someone to host, but since you brothers and sisters are here to celebrate my birthday, I will be the one to host! Mother has asked my brother to go to Fengzi Store to get some fresh food, so you don't have to bother me, Brother Bao."
The other sisters were afraid that Baoyu would make a scene, so they stepped forward and said, "Baoyu, your aunt's family has good wine and food, why would they let us spend money? We can just wait to eat and use them."
After hearing what Daiyu said, Baoyu was a little unwilling, but he had no choice but to agree.
"Eh? Has Cong not arrived yet?" Baoyu rolled his eyes, "Today is Sister Bao's birthday, but he is late. Maybe he forgot to prepare a birth gift and couldn't come? "
Baoyu's words made all the sisters a little disappointed, because Baoyu was not like this before.
However, what they don't understand is that Baoyu is the center of the family and the only male among all the sisters, so Baoyu thinks he is the center of all the sisters. But since Jia Cong's rise, not only has he been surpassed in all aspects, but more importantly, everyone's attitude towards Baoyu has also changed unconsciously.
Even including Grandmother Jia, although she still loves Baoyu, Jia Cong has obviously become an indispensable one.
Therefore, some things that Baoyu didn't care about before, he naturally started to care about, and some things that he never thought much about also became much more sensitive.
He wanted to find an opportunity to suppress Jia Cong and make himself the center as before, so that the sisters would dislike Jia Cong and continue to surround him. Even he himself was not aware of this change, but it was manifested unconsciously.
Including today, when he took out the best rouge he had made and mentioned Jia Cong again, he was just showing that he cared more about his sisters than Jia Cong.
"Second Brother Bao, don't talk nonsense!" Xiangyun snorted, "How busy has Third Brother been these days? The Military Department has been burdened with so many problems, how could it be as free as us? Besides, how did Second Brother Bao know that Third Brother didn't send the gift in advance?"
Baochai smiled and stepped forward to stop Xiangyun from speaking, "It's just a birth, so we can't delay the important matter! We don't have to worry about that busy person, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come!"
Everyone could hear the joking and intimacy in Baochai's words, but Baoyu was extremely happy, "Yes, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come. Without him, Cong Lao San, wouldn't it be better for us to enjoy ourselves?"
"Hello, Miss Bao!"
As they were talking, Xiao Que and a few others came into the house!
Baochai went up to them happily, "You're here?"
The three of them bowed and said, " Happy birth of a baby girl, Miss Bao!"
"Okay, okay!" Baochai smiled and helped the little maids up.
"Qingwen!" Baoyu came forward, looked at Qingwen and asked, "How are you doing? I don't see you come to my room to have fun on weekdays, are you too restricted? I will talk to Cong Lao San later and I will make sure you are not too busy. Xiren and Sheyue have been missing you all the time, so come to my room and play with them when you have nothing to do."
Qingwen bowed and said respectfully, "Thank you, Master Bao, but Qingwen is doing well. Besides, Qingwen is your maid, so she can't play around all day. I need to take care of everything in and outside the room, so I'm afraid I don't have time to play in Master Bao's room."
Baoyu had targeted Jia Cong several times, and the loyal maids in the room naturally shared the same hatred and hatred. On weekdays, when they met the maids in Baoyu's room, they would quarrel with each other. In this case, how could they take the initiative to go to Baoyu's room? Wouldn't that be embarrassing for the master?
