The Red Mansions

Chapter 215 Night Tour of Nanluoguxiang
South Luogu Lane.

The mansions and courtyards of various shapes and structures in the surrounding hutongs are colorful and profound.

Merchants gathered on both sides of the road, and the flow of people was bustling.

In the alleys are gathered the high mansions of dignitaries and heroes and the simple and elegant dwellings of ordinary people.

Between the gray walls and blue tiles, under the shade of green trees, the shops stand shoulder to shoulder, simple and elegant, with a constant flow of tourists and tourists.

There are many princes and nobles living around the street.

These people have an exceptionally rich nightlife and strong consumption power.

Sprinkle a little money casually, and you can feed a lot of people.

Therefore, small businesses in Nanluoguxiang developed early.

There are grain shops, vegetable shops, oil and salt shops, pork shops, mutton shops, noodle shops, steamer shops, fried goods houses, small wine shops, pastry shops, tofu shops, coal shops, wells, bricks and hemp knives Shops, Foil Shops, Shed Shops, Black and White Iron Shops, Xijiao Shops, Bar Houses, Medical Centers, Medicine Shops, Paper Shops, Barber Shops, Clothes Shops, Shoes Shops, Wool Shops, Stationery Shops, Tea Houses, Pawn Shops, etc.

Although the scale is not very large, the industry is relatively complete.

Although it was getting late, small lanterns were hung along the street in Nanluoguxiang. The lights were bright, illuminating the street like a dream.

There are singing houses and restaurants, with delicious wine and delicacies, dancing and singing, the music of bells, stones and silk bamboos is endless, and the crowds are rushing, bustling and bustling, very lively.

The lights were dim.

Strolling on the street, Jia Tanchun was like a fluttering butterfly, trotting around and looking around.

There was always a happy smile on his face.

"Poria cake, royal concubine cake, dragon beard cake, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, mung bean cake..."

After a while, Jia Tanchun had more paper bags in his hand, all of which were food.

Under the orange-red light, Jia Tanchun's face looked unusually rosy, with a smile on his lips, and from time to time he mischievously stuffed a piece of pastry into Jia Yun's mouth.

"Well, it's not that no one in your house makes these pastries, but I bought them outside, but most of them went into my stomach after I bought them." Jia Yun rubbed Jia Tanchun's hair and said helplessly.

Jia Tanchun grinned, turned around and stood in front of him, looked up and fed him another piece of pastry, and said charmingly:

"These pastries are delicious, I just want to feed them to you."

Just as Jia Yun was about to speak, she froze for a moment, and pulled Jia Tanchun under a tree by the street.

"Ah!" Jia Tanchun was startled.

"Don't panic, who do you think that is?" Jia Yun pointed forward.

Jia Tanchun took a breath, calmed down, poked his head out for a look, and said in surprise:
"Hey, it's Brother Bao. It's so late, where is he going? Zuihualou? Is it a restaurant?"

Jia Yun laughed and said, "You can drink in Zuihualou, but it's a brothel."

At this time, Jia Baoyu, Feng Ziying and other five or six young masters just got off the carriage and walked into Zuihualou talking and laughing.

Although there is a curfew at night in various squares in the capital, it is for ordinary people.

Under normal circumstances, the dignitaries are rarely restrained.

"The brothel? Why did Brother Bao come to such a place?" Jia Tanchun asked in disbelief.

Jia Yun laughed and said, "Isn't it normal for three friends and four friends to come out and look for flowers and ask Liu?"

In this era, going to brothels to have fun is not something shameful or shameful.

"Listen, do you often go to this kind of place to play?" Jia Tanchun inquired.

Jia Yun shook her head and replied, "That's not true, it's embarrassing to say, I've never been to a brothel."

Many scholars love to go to the place of fireworks, to recite poems, to entertain, to be arty.

It would be even more romantic and elegant if one or two Qing people can be turned down.

When Jia Tanchun heard the words, he didn't care whether what Jia Yun said was true or not, his face brightened, and he leaned forward and whispered:

"You are not allowed to come to this kind of place in the future. It is very dirty. If you need it, I will let Shi Shu and Cui Mo wait for you."

Jia Yun rolled her eyes and said, "Come on! I can't use all the maids in my family. How can I make things difficult for Shi Shu and Cui Mo?"

Jia Tanchun thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Yes, I have seen all those sisters in your family today, none of them are bad, and all of them are beauties, enough for you to enjoy."

"Hehe, well, let's not talk about this anymore, Second Uncle Bao and the others have gone in, let's continue playing." Jia Yun pinched Jia Tanchun's face and said with a smile.

Jia Tanchun nodded, and continued walking with Jia Yun.

After walking a few steps, she stopped again, frowned and muttered: "Why does Brother Bao come to play in such a place? It's disgusting!"

"Still thinking about it? Don't think about it anymore. Look at Second Uncle Bao. He has come here not once or twice, but you didn't know about it before." Jia Yun said with a smile.

Jia Baoyu's image in Jia Tanchun's heart collapsed. She was not used to it at first, but she quickly adjusted her mood and continued to hang out with Jia Yun on the street.

As a lady of every family, Jia Tanchun seldom came out to go shopping like this, and everything he saw was extraordinarily strange. He was full of interest and gained a lot of knowledge along the way.

What surprised Jia Yun even more was that she knew how to bargain without a teacher.

No matter what she buys, she loves to bargain, and sometimes she is very happy to save even a penny.

"I don't dare to buy too many things to take back, otherwise it will be difficult to explain the origin to the people in the house." Jia Tanchun regretted.

Her heart was like a cat scratching, and she wanted to buy back many fancy things.

Jia Yun persuaded: "Let's forget about it today, and come over during the day when you have time in the future, and you can buy many practical things."

"When the time comes, take it to my house, and then ask Xiren to deliver it to you, and you tell others that you asked her to help you buy it."

Jia Tanchun smiled, nodded and said, "That's okay. Going out to buy things by yourself makes me feel different, and it's much more interesting."

"Haha, what's the fun, but you want to bargain with someone, right?" Jia Yun laughed loudly.

Jia Tanchun did not refute, but instead raised his eyebrows, showing a complacent expression.

After the two walked around for nearly an hour, they stopped shopping.

Back to the place where the carriage was kept, the two got into the carriage, and Jia Tanchun suddenly said:
"Can I go back later? I'm so excited and excited that I can't express it today. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep when I go back."

When she came out with Jia Yun tonight, she felt extremely free, a feeling she had never felt before.

Thinking of going back to Jia's mansion and living the life of being locked up in the courtyard again, Jia Tanchun felt a little conflicted and depressed.

"Okay, but let's go back first. I'll take you to the small river not far from Jia's mansion to enjoy the night breeze." Jia Yun agreed wholeheartedly.

Jia Tanchun's face brightened, he snatched the whip from Jia Yun's hand, waved it lightly, and hummed an unknown song.

By the small river, the place where Jia Yun used to come to practice.

The gentle river breeze blows slowly, which is extraordinarily cool, relaxing and very comfortable.

On the carriage, the faint light flickered, flickering like a firefly in the dark night.

Jia Yun carried Jia Tanchun out of the carriage, put her on the ground, and whispered, "Wait a minute, I'll take a blanket and spread it on the rock so we can sit down."

After saying that, he pulled out a small blanket from the trunk, took Jia Tanchun's hand, and came to the boulder where he used to practice.

After laying out the blanket, Jia Yun sat down and hugged Jia Tanchun on her lap.

The surroundings are quiet, and the starry sky is bright and deep.

The two hugged each other and could hear each other's breathing.

Jia Tanchun hugged Jia Yun's neck, smelling the scent on his body, he was very addicted.

Looking back, I only spent half a day with him today, but it seems like we have known each other for a long time.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head slowly, and took the initiative to kiss Jia Yun's lips.

Although the movements are jerky, they are also extremely serious.

At this time, Jia Yun wanted to reach into her clothes, but she tied them too tightly.

Jia Tanchun grinned, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, lowered his head and turned sideways, and took the initiative to untie the cloth belt.

"Will no one come here?" Jia Tanchun worried.

Jia Yun reached out to play with it, shook her head and said, "Don't worry, this place is remote, few people come here."

Jia Tanchun hummed, then lowered his head and kissed Jia Yun...

……

On the carriage, the clothes were disheveled and thrown into the corner.

The two hugged each other and lay down. Jia Tanchun lay in Jia Yun's arms, pinched him lightly, and said angrily:

"Look! It's all red, it's almost peeling off, and it hurts."

"Is this fun? I'm covered all over, and I won't allow you next time."

Jia Yun smiled and asked, "Why do you look so plump, but I didn't notice it!"

"You like me like this?" Jia Tanchun's face eased, and he said happily.

Jia Yun laughed and said, "I like it, otherwise I wouldn't provoke you!"

Hearing this, Jia Tanchun hugged him tightly and said happily:
"As long as you like it, I'm afraid that there are many girls in your family who don't like me."

Speaking of which, among all the female family members in Jia's mansion, her appearance and figure are among the best.

But compared to Jia Yun's family, it's not enough.

Whether it is Xue Baochai, Qin Keqing, Xiren, Meiren, Liren, Keren, Xianger, Jinger, Yuaner, Lianer, etc., they are all outstanding beauties.

Just pull it out, it's no worse than her.

Therefore, when Jia Tanchun was with Jia Yun, he suddenly lost his confidence.

Jia Yun gave her a light peck, and said comfortingly, "Everyone is different from person to person. They are fat, swallows are thin, and each has its own characteristics."

"Don't think too much, let alone add to your troubles. If I don't love you, I won't mess with you today."

"Perhaps this is what is said in the storybook, worry about gains and losses!" Jia Tanchun pursed his lips and sighed.

After thinking about it, she said: "Remember to visit me often in the future. From now on, maidservants will not be allowed to enter my room at night. You can come over at any time at night."

"If you don't come to me, it's not convenient for me to leave the house. I'm afraid I will miss you to death."

Jia Yun nodded and said, "I'll definitely come to see you if I'm free. If you really miss me, you can often stay with Ping'er. They are quite busy going out of the house during this time."

"They? Do you mean Sister-in-Law Feng and Ping'er? They often leave the house together." Jia Tanchun nodded.

Jia Yun smiled, bowed her head and whispered something in her ear.

Sooner or later, she will know about these things. Tell her earlier, so that she will not find out that something is wrong in the future and get angry again.

After hearing this, Jia Tanchun was dumbfounded, Cherry's little mouth opened wide.

"My God! You! You! You! Why are you so close to our Jia family's troubles?"

"And sister-in-law Zhu and sister-in-law Feng, aren't they too unruly?"

"If you don't tell me, I really didn't see that they dare to do such a thing!"
