The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 503
At the end of dinner, seeing Jia Lian glanced at the sky, Zhuang took advantage of the situation and said with a smile: "It's getting late today, and there will be a curfew in the city soon. I have already had the room cleaned, brother Lian and Miss Lin are better off tonight." They are all resting at our house, and I think Baoqin girl is also very reluctant to part with you."

Following Zhuang's words, Bao Qin nodded her head very cooperatively, and looked at Jia Lian with her big barking eyes like a two-dimensional beautiful girl.

Others, including Xue Biao and the second wife, also looked at Jia Lian expectantly.And Jia Lian felt that his calf was kicked with the same force again, and this time, he couldn't find the mastermind, even the second lady who was sitting opposite him didn't mean to apologize this time.

Facing everyone's eyes, Jia Lian looked at Daiyu.He knew that Daiyu had mild social phobia and didn't like to be in unfamiliar environments.

Daiyu thought that Jia Lian was embarrassed to reject Xue's family's kindness, she looked calm, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and then said softly: "Second brother, didn't you say that you are going to visit Zhen's family early in the morning?" ?"

The implication is that it is inconvenient for Jia Lian to stay outside because of business.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhuang laughed when she heard the words: "The Zhen family, but the Zhen family of the General Bureau of Weaving? It happens that the Zhen family is not far from our place, only two or three streets away, which saves trouble. Brother Lian will come from us tomorrow morning." Going to Zhen's house is more than half the distance from Gonghou Street."

Bao Qin also immediately persuaded, "That's right, Lian's second brother, you agree to stay. I saw Sister Lin for the first time today, and I want to have a long talk with her all night. You can help us."

As Baoqin said, she grabbed Daiyu's hand, expressing their sisterly love.

Daiyu was embarrassed to resist Baoqin's enthusiasm, and felt that she had missed Jia Lian by mistake, so she showed an apologetic look to Jia Lian, and stopped talking.

But Jia Lian also saw that Daiyu didn't mind staying at Xue's house, so he nodded in agreement.

Since it was decided to stay overnight, the dinner time can naturally be longer, so that everyone can gather at the table to gossip and talk about friendship.

But no matter how long it is, there is a limit. Most of the women and children here don't drink much.Even Xue Biao, because of his young age, had a very limited capacity for drinking, so even if her mother told him to respect Jia Lian more, he didn't persist for a while, and became dizzy and blushed.

Seeing that Daiyu, Baoqin and other women were just sitting, Jia Lian felt embarrassed to continue to bully Xue Biao, and said with a smile that it was good to eat.

So Mrs. Zhuang sent Xue Biao down to rest. After leaving the dining room, she asked the second wife to send Jia Lian to his room, while she personally took Daiyu, Baoqin and Daiyu's two maids to Baoyu. Qin girl went to the courtyard.

Originally, the Zhuang family had prepared a room for Daiyu alone, but Baoqin took Daiyu and said that she wanted to sleep with Daiyu so that she could talk at night.

Xue's house is quite big, but from Jia Lian's perspective, there are not many servants, and the family's ostentation seems to be far worse than that of Rongguo Mansion.

For example, beside the second lady, there seems to be only one serving maid.

"Master Hou doesn't have to worry about his entourage and guards, my sister has already ordered the housekeeper to put them all in the courtyard outside.

If Master Hou has something to tell them, he can also go out directly from here, and he can reach the courtyard only a dozen steps away. "

After making two turns along the long corridor under the dining room, it was estimated that she hadn't walked out of the main courtyard, so the second lady stopped Yingying, pointed to the moon cave door next to her and said to Jia Lian.

Seeing that Jia Lian nodded to show that she understood, she smiled and continued to walk a few steps forward until she came to a brightly lit wing room.

"This is the room my sister arranged for Lord Hou, it's a bit rough, please don't dislike it, Lord Hou.

In addition, the rooms on the left and right sides have also been cleaned, and the bedding is also complete. The two sisters can choose to live wherever they want. I hope the sisters are not to blame for neglect. "

The second lady apologized to Ah Qi and Ah Qin who were beside Jia Lian, and then opened the door.

The room is slightly more spacious than the general wing room, and from the clean and complete candles in the room and the brand-new and expensive cups, saucers and tea sets on the table, it is not difficult to guess that many of the furnishings inside are newly replaced.

After pouring a cup of tea for Jia Lian, the second wife made the bed together with the maid, and checked whether the other furnishings in the house were complete.

As she found that the incense in the cauldron had been burned out, the second lady hurriedly told the maid: "Don't go to my room, bring the best lily incense and burn it!"

Jia Lian watched the maid leave, then looked back at the only second wife who was still standing in the room, her expression suddenly darkened.

Xu Shi was a little disturbed by Jia Lian's look, the second lady smiled shyly, then turned around and continued to make the bed as if to avoid looking directly at Jia Lian.

She has a graceful figure and a tall stature, bending over to make the bed, her beautiful buttocks wrapped in a brocade dress inevitably stand tall, and by coincidence, she is facing Jia Lian who is sitting quietly by the tea table.

Jia Lian took three sips of tea before putting down the cup, getting up and walking towards the bed.

The second wife, who was making the bed, suddenly turned her head and saw Jia Lian who was close at hand. She was so startled that she collapsed on the bed and said weakly, "Master Hou, you?"

Jia Lian asked her, "It's just a bed, why should the second lady arrange it so carefully?"

"Here, the concubine is afraid that Master Hou will not sleep well, so I want to make the bed better?"

The second lady replied nervously, seeing Jia Lian sitting down by the bed, she subconsciously backed away to the other side.

Jia Lian suddenly laughed, and stretched out his hand to hook her sharp chin, but she didn't mind if she turned her head away, and just asked with a smile: "Second Madam is so shy now, I don't know who just kicked her on the table just now. I called Ben Hou twice.

Could it be, who in your family has the habit of kicking people at the dinner table, or thinks that Ben Hou eats too much, so as to remind Ben Hou to eat less? "

"No way, it's just that someone accidentally kicked Lord Hou, Lord Hou won't be angry about this, will he?"

The second lady appeared to be very afraid of Jia Lian, but she did not deny that she did it.

At this time, Jia Lian and her were sitting upright and lying on their sides, and they were both on the same bed, less than a foot apart.Between each other, the young and handsome body is like the most primitive biological code, bringing the two of them the most direct expectation and throbbing.

"It's okay to be angry, but if the second wife has no other plans, please go back first. This Marquis is not a three-year-old child, so he can't take care of himself."

After all, Jia Lian has experienced battles for a long time, and his control over emotions is very human.

The second lady kept making small moves, and she wanted to refuse and welcome him again, obviously she had some intentions.Jia Lian couldn't be confused by the other party's way, so he straightened his body and said seriously.

The second lady couldn't hold back anymore, and looked at Jia Lian in surprise.

Since Jia Lian quietly stood behind her and looked at her just now, and wanted to do something before, it was obvious that he was interested in her.

Why suddenly?

At this point, she would never be reconciled if she gave up halfway, so she quietly got up, stood on the footstool and slightly bowed to Jia Lian. Just before turning around, she hooked her right foot on the left foot, tilted her body, and turned towards Jia Lian. Jia Lian fell down.

The beauty throws herself into her bosom automatically, Jia Lian will not be puzzled by the style, and reaches out to catch her, and then her arms are full of warmth and fragrance.

"Master Hou..."

The second lady blushed, lying on her back in Jia Lian's arms, staring at Jia Lian tenderly.

That pair of azure blue eyes, which are very different from those of the Han people, paired with a coquettish face comparable to Qin Keqing, is easy to arouse the anger of men.

So Jia Lian was no longer polite, put his arm around the beauty, lifted the beauty's chin with his index finger, and kissed her flaming red lips.

Then, Jia Lian knew that this woman was different from the Central Plains woman.

Even Qin Keqing, the most coquettish woman Jia Lian met, closed her eyes tightly when she kissed her for the first time.

The second lady, however, stared at him with those clear eyes from the beginning to the end. After a long time, even Jia Lian couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed, and threw her head away.

Seeing the other party's tongue rolling subconsciously, Jia Lian's heart trembled, and he forced himself to ask calmly: "Tell me, what is the purpose of your trying so hard to seduce Benhou?"

The second lady smiled when she heard the words, "I don't have any purpose for being a concubine, but I am overwhelmed by the majestic and heroic appearance of the Hou Ye, and I am grateful for the care of the Xue family several times by the Hou Ye, and I want to repay the Hou Ye."

Jia Lian always felt that these words were familiar.Thinking about it carefully, recently, I seem to have been robbed, young woman robbed!

But looking down at the second lady's appearance, he realized that the other's slender arms had already encircled his waist, and it was really hard to throw her away against his will.

But after all, they are relatives and family members, Jia Lian can't feel at ease like he did with Xu, so he has to show his attitude.

"If you don't tell the truth, this Marquis will treat what you say is true and refuse to admit it. Don't blame me then."

The second wife took a strange look at Jia Lian's expression, and felt a little shyness on Jia Lian's face, which she found incredible.

With Jia Lian's status and personality, shouldn't it be that there are groups of wives and concubines and countless girls?

Thinking of it this way, I was even more happy in my heart. I couldn't help stretching out five jade fingers to caress Jia Lian's face. Something, I want to ask Lord Hou. It's not an important matter, if Lord Hou finds it difficult, it doesn't matter if you ignore it..."

"Huh? Let's hear it."

So the second wife made an engagement between Baoqin and the Mei family in Jingzhong, and now the general manager of the Mei family shows that they seem to regret the relationship, and want to use his position as the Marquis if necessary in the future.

Jia Lian naturally knew about Baoqin's engagement, and expressed the same regret as Jia Baoyu.

After all, Baoqin girl's birth is too rare, and he is also human.Even Jia Baoyu, who claims to be a good son in troubled times, only drinks from Daiyu's scoop for three thousand weak waters, and even Xue Baochai, who is like a high-ranking scholar in the mountains, can't keep him. Jia Baoyu once said that only Baoqin can replace Daiyu.

(In the original book, Zijuan lied to Jia Baoyu that Daiyu was going back to the Lin family, and Jia Baoyu pretended to be stupid and made a fuss. After waking up, Zijuan heard that Zijuan suspected that Jiamu and others wanted to promise him the Baoqin. Jia Baoyu sighed: "Everyone They say I'm stupid, but I think you're even more stupid than me. She's already married to Mei Hanlin's family, if it's really her, I won't have to suffer from this illness."

The above is only my one-sided understanding, and different views are allowed. )
"This matter is not difficult. It's decided. As long as Baoqin girl doesn't make a big mistake, the Mei family has no reason to regret their relationship."

Jia Lian's words made the second wife happy, but Jia Lian was a little strange, caressing her face and asked: "I'm very surprised that Baoqin girl's life is so important to you, so you are willing to do it for me." She made such a sacrifice?"

"Of course it's important. She's my daughter. Is there anything wrong with me thinking about her?"

The second lady replied as a matter of course, and found that Jia Lian frowned, she immediately changed her tone and said with a smile: "However, the concubine is really moved by the heroic appearance of Lord Hou. Really, in fact, it was said before Lord Hou that Qin When the girl knew Her Royal Highness Princess Dangchao, I didn't worry too much about it.

Therefore, I ask Lord Hou to believe that this concubine really admires Lord Hou. "

Jia Lian supported the delicate body of the second lady with one hand, and raised her hand to touch her nose with the other, "Well, you said that girl Baoqin is your daughter? Wasn't she born to the lady?"

"No, girl Qin is my own."

The second lady said, she put her arms around Jia Lian's neck and sat up a little bit, looked at Jia Lian and asked, "Master Hou dislikes Baoqin girl, isn't she from the eldest lady?"

"No."

"That is, I despise my concubine for being born and raised? If so, naturally I dare not disturb Lord Hou, so I will resign now..."

The second lady said, looking at Jia Lian's face with tears in her eyes, she got up and was about to leave.

How could Jia Lian let her go like this, grabbed her hand and brought her back, letting her delicate body with fragrance fall into her arms again.

In my heart, I really sighed.

He really didn't know before that Bao Qin was born by the second lady.

Because I always knew that Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin were brothers and sisters, and I didn't know the existence of the second wife before, so I always thought that they were the children of the Zhuang family.

Even at the dinner table before, Baoqin and Xue Biao greeted the second wife together, one was called "Second Niang", and the other should be called "Mother", but he didn't pay much attention to the distinction at the time.

The most important thing is that this second wife's life is too coquettish and young, so he never thought that the other party is the mother of a ten-year-old child!

Thinking about it now, in fact, this is also true.Baoqin's exquisite appearance should be born out of these two wives.

But from the outside, Baoqin doesn't look like her mother.At least she doesn't have a pair of azure blue eyes like her mother's, so at first glance, it's hard to tell that she has foreign blood.

Feeling depressed, she didn't want to ask the second lady's real age, so she just turned her over on the bed, lowered her head and asked her: "Since Madam is Baoqin's mother, why would you dare to do such a thing? Don't you be afraid of being caught?" Da furen and girl Baoqin know?"

In a word, the second lady who said it was blushing and heartbeating, and had to turn her head to hide her expression.

Jia Lian chuckled, smelling the scent of this exotic beauty up close, and he couldn't care less, he just lowered his head and tasted it between her beautiful and distinct neck.

"No, it won't work here, someone will come later."

The second lady sensed that Jia Lian was showing signs of getting serious, but she was still scared after all, turned over and escaped.

But Jia Lian didn't force her, just lay on the bed, propped her head with one hand and smiled at the panicked second wife.

Seeing Jia Lian's demeanor and his messy robe, the second lady laughed again.

Looking back at the half-open door, she walked up to Jia Lian, put her hand on Jia Lian's shoulders, and said with a smile: "I live in the middle room in the east wing of the main courtyard. Go west from the back porch of this house, At the end of the north, the door with colorful flower baskets on the top is the back door of the concubine.

If Lord Hou is interested, at three o'clock tonight, the concubine will stay behind as Lord Hou. "

Heh, it really came prepared.

Jia Lian smiled slightly, noncommittal.

The second lady was a little uncertain about Jia Lian's intentions, but she didn't have more time to confirm with Jia Lian, because there were already clear footsteps outside.

So the second lady hurriedly leaned into Jia Lian's ear and said in a low voice, "Master Hou just come over tonight, I will prepare a surprise for Master Hou, maybe Master Hou will like it."

After finishing speaking, she quickly backed away, just in time to see the servant girl coming in holding the incense box, so she straightened her appearance, burned incense in the cauldron with her own hands, then made a salute to Jia Lian, and left with the maidservant.
