The Red Mansions

Chapter 251 Parents are short, trivia at the end of the year

Jia Yun and Shi Xiangyun fought with their tongues, but neither of them accepted the other.

A quarter of an hour later, Shi Xiangyun was defeated because of his meager skills, panting for breath.

"Brother-in-law..."

With a red face, Shi Xiangyun murmured softly, and flung himself into Jia Yun's arms, looking up in embarrassment.

Jia Yun hugged Shi Xiangyun with a smile, rubbed her plump body, smelled the girl's faint body fragrance, and felt very relaxed and refreshed under the warm sunshine.

"Xiangyun, you are very courageous!" Jia Yun said with a smirk.

Shi Xiangyun groaned, pouted and said, "Brother-in-law, don't make fun of me, or else I'll ignore you."

Jia Yun looked at her rosy neck and said, "Xiangyun girl, why is your skin so white and tender?"

"Brother-in-law must have drunk too much. I'm young and I'm a girl. As long as there's nothing wrong with me, my skin will naturally be fine!" Shi Xiangyun said with a puckered mouth.

After a pause, she raised her head, squinted her eyes, smiled innocently, showing a few small white teeth, and said:
"It's brother-in-law, not a few years older than Xiangyun, and a manly man, but his skin is delicate and fair, must he use some secret recipe?"

Jia Yun pecked her lightly, bit her lip, and said with a smile: "There is a secret recipe, you will know it in the future, and you are indispensable!"

"Brother-in-law is so kind!" Shi Xiangyun closed his eyes, muttered and replied, and then stuck out his tongue in response to Jia Yun.

After teacup kung fu, Shi Xiangyun took a long breath, opened his eyes, and whispered:

"Brother-in-law, you can play with me, but you can't let others know, otherwise it will be difficult for me to marry in the future, you understand?"

Jia Yun looked suspicious, and frowned, "Has anyone eaten your rouge before?"

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly replied: "That's not true. My historian family is not only a noble family, but also a scholarly family. The three cardinal guides and five constant rulers dare not violate the family in the slightest. How could people eat my rouge?"

"Then why did you let me eat it?" Jia Yun asked suspiciously.

Shi Xiangyun glanced at Jia Yun shyly, and said softly:
"Brother-in-law is good-looking. Just now I saw you lying down and sleeping, shining brightly in the sun, so I couldn't help but get close to you."

Jia Yun smiled and didn't ask Shi Xiangyun any more. After all, he took advantage today.

He leaned close to Shi Xiangyun's ear and asked in a low voice, "Sister Xiangyun, do you want to play something more fun?"

Shi Xiangyun blushed, bit his lip, hesitated for a moment, hummed lightly, and nodded in response.

"Great, I'll take you somewhere!"

Jia Yun's face brightened, and she dragged her to the attic of the garden.

"Where is brother-in-law going?" Shi Xiangyun asked in confusion.

Jia Yun took her little hand and said as she walked, "There should be no one coming over to the attic today."

"Oh." Shi Xiangyun replied, pursing his lips, letting Jia Yun hold him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Soon, the two came to a room upstairs in the attic.

Shi Xiangyun pinched the hem of his clothes, a little nervous, hesitantly said: "Brother-in-law, kissing is fine, but that is not..."

"Don't worry, you are such a yellow girl, I won't break your body right now!" Jia Yun pulled her to the couch and sat down to talk.

Shi Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak when Jia Yun pressed him down and lay down.

"Brother-in-law, you said no." Shi Xiangyun said in a low voice, his breathing becoming a little difficult.

Jia Yun was condescending and whispered a few words in Shi Xiangyun's ear.

After hearing this, Shi Xiangyun gritted his teeth, hesitated for a long time, hummed, and slowly closed his eyes.

Jia Yun laughed, and after a while, he asked again, "Is Xiangyun cold?"

"A little bit!" Shi Xiangyun tilted his head to one side, and replied softly, but his hands were tightly grasping the quilt, and the palms of his hands were sweating.

Jia Yun took a deep breath, leaned over and wandered among the undulating mountains and rivers, forest ravines, enjoying the beautiful scenery, eating the wind and drinking the dew, drinking bean porridge and white water...

……

In the attic corridor.

Jia Yun hugged Shi Xiangyun, and whispered: "If you want to come to my house in the future, you can go to Aunt Feng, but Miss Heping'er comes to my house every now and then."

"Well, I got it." Shi Xiangyun bit the corner of his lips and looked at Jia Yun affectionately, very reluctant to let go.

Jia Yun smiled slightly, pinched her plump buttocks, and said, "Go, you'll be away for too long, I'm afraid someone will look for you everywhere."

Shi Xiangyun suddenly threw himself into his arms, and murmured: "Brother-in-law, I don't want to leave, I want to stay with you for a while."

Jia Yun laughed loudly and said, "Haha, are you addicted today, girl?"

"Where is it? Brother-in-law... well, it's quite comfortable." Shi Xiangyun said with a smile.

Jia Yun pecked her and said: "I'm reluctant to leave now, your maid won't be able to see you now, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry, go back!"

Shi Xiangyun sighed and left reluctantly.

Jia Yun looked at her distant back, stretched her waist under the mild sunlight, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and recalled:
"Tsk tsk, this girl is really good-looking, and she will have enough to eat when she has a child in the future!"

To say that among the people, especially in the Jiangnan area, most women regard thinness as beautiful, and even those salt merchants are proud of supporting a thin horse singer.

However, most of the girls from real rich families know how to keep in good health, knowing that being too thin is not conducive to fertility, so they all raise them to be plump.

For example, Xue Baochai, Wang Xifeng, Jia Tanchun, Shi Xiangyun and other women have never lacked food and clothing since childhood, so they have outstanding figures and plump bodies, but they do not pursue thinness for beauty.

Of course, even girls from decent folk families are proud of being plump, because the first thing they want to marry is to be able to bear children, and it is best to find a husband's family if they have big hips and round waists.

evening.

Jia Yun sat down with Jia Lian and others again, and they were drunk by Jia Yun at noon, but no one was drinking at night.

During the meal, Jia Yun heard Jia Rong and Jia Baoyu talking about Jiang Yuhan, so she listened.

"Qiguan is sick, he contracted a cold, and he said he needs to consult a doctor to take medicine, so he won't be able to perform on stage for a while." Jia Baoyu said dejectedly.

Jia Rong took a sip of her wine and asked doubtfully, "Did he come here to tell you this morning?"

"Yes, he was afraid that I would worry about him, so he braved the wind and cold and came over to let me know." Jia Baoyu replied.

He sighed and said: "I told him everything, there is no need to do anything, just call a boy to come over and say something, but he didn't do it, saying he loves me, and doesn't want me to worry about him."

"Hehe, you two are very affectionate." Jia Rong said with a smile.

Jia Baoyu smiled, nodded and said: "Qiguan is charming and gentle, which makes me miss him very much. This is something I have never met in other people. He loves me, and I love him too."

Jia Rong hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "When will you let him get close to me?"

Jia Baoyu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, blushed, and scolded in a low voice: "You don't come here, I'm going on a blind date with Qiguan, what are you doing? Go home and accompany your nephew and daughter-in-law!"

"Cut, Second Uncle Bao, you are not being kind. That official Qi is just an actor, so why be nervous?" Jia Rong frowned dissatisfied.

Jia Baoyu hummed twice, drank a glass of wine, squinted at Jia Rong, and joked:
"Okay, you can play Qiguan if you want, so you can send me your nephew and daughter-in-law too?"

"Second Uncle Bao, you've drank too much, you can't talk anymore!" Jia Rong was furious and threw the wine glass on the table heavily. If there were not so many people around at the moment, he would definitely beat Jia Baoyu up.

Jia Baoyu was startled, and most of the time he was sober.

Just now, in a daze, he spoke out what was in his heart in a joking tone.

Fortunately, it was a private chat with Jia Rong. If someone listened to it, I'm afraid I would become a monk and make a fool of myself.

But thinking of Xia Jingui, Jia Baoyu's heart became extremely hot.

The woman exudes charm all over her body.

Not to mention kissing Fangze, even watching from a distance can make people feel happy.

Jia Lian saw that the two of them were chatting speculatively just now, but now they were blushing and their necks were thick. He was afraid that they would fight again like Jia Huan and Jia Qiang.

So he quickly suppressed his voice and scolded: "Why are you two having an argument? You can't go back to the mansion to talk about something, but you want to make a noise in this large court?"

Jia Baoyu glared at Jia Rong, turned around and smiled at Jia Lian, "Second brother Lian, leave us alone, he was just joking!"

"Yeah, we're not hopeless anymore, but we also know that today is Xue Pan's big day, so we won't make trouble here." After Jia Rong took a deep breath, a smile appeared on her face in agreement.

Jia Lian nodded and said: "This is the best. Although yesterday's incident has been temporarily suppressed, the punishment of Brother Huan and Brother Qiang has not yet been implemented. This does not mean that the matter is over. You should be more careful." .”

Jia Qiang and Jia Huan who were watching the joke at the side suddenly became sad when they heard the words, and even the delicious food was no longer fragrant.

Yesterday the eldest family lost face at Jia Ling's house. According to the tempers of Jia's mother, Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen, the matter would definitely not pass so easily.

The two of them had to be punished severely, and maybe they would be fined to go to the ancestral hall and kneel down.

Kneeling over there in this big winter, the days are not easy to pass.

After a full meal, it was already dark, the lights in Xue's mansion were brightly lit, and the guests left in twos and threes.

Jia Yun picked up Xue Baochai and they went home together.

in the room.

Both Jia Yun and Xue Baochai changed into loose clothes.

Xue Baochai let out a long breath, and said with a smile: "I haven't done much help for my brother's marriage, but I feel very tired. Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Jia Yun saw that she looked tired, but she was very relaxed, took her hand and sat down in front of the brazier.

"Brother Xue is married, you finally have nothing else to worry about now, then you will take good care of your body, recharge your energy, and give me a pair of children in the new year."

Xue Baochai showed a warm smile on his face, lowered his head and stroked his belly, full of radiant motherhood, and said with a smile:
"Look, my husband, they are kicking my slave's stomach again!"

While talking, Lin Daiyu, Qin Keqing, Xi Ren and Mei Ren came in from outside.

Everyone sat down and talked around the brazier.

Qin Keqing said: "I got a letter this morning, and the New Year's goods from the farm in the south will arrive in three to five days at most."

Xue Baochai nodded and said: "Then we must quickly free up the warehouse at home. According to what we said before, we will choose some things that are easy to store and keep them for use. The rest will be transported to the Zhuangzi warehouse outside the city for storage."

"Put all the things that are not easy to store at home, and separate them into categories so that they can be easily used when the time comes."

Jia Yun then said, "Xi Ren and Mei Ren need to help Ke Qing more. At the end of the year, there will be accounts in Zhuangzi, shops and commercial roads. She may not be able to handle it alone."

Assailant and charming should be the same, and they agree with each other.

Although there is Ni Er, the general manager of the family, who handles external affairs, but the annual income has to be calculated separately, and the beginning of the year and the end of the year are relatively busy.

Then Jia Yun discussed some other matters with the girls, until it was getting late, Lin Daiyu left first, Jia Yun said to the girls:
"Recently, the family has been a little impetuous. Are you all worried about having a baby?"

Jia Yun looked at Qin Keqing, Xi Ren, and Charming with piercing eyes, with a smile on her face.

Although he doesn't meddle in the affairs of the rear house, he also knows that the aunts and maids at home are eager to get pregnant and have children.

Jia Yun had probably mentioned this to them before, but as Xue Baochai's due date got closer, the women in the family became anxious after all.

Qin Keqing, Xi Ren, and Mei Ren blushed and nodded in response.

Especially Qin Keqing, who was the oldest and came from Ningguo Mansion, without children by her side, she was the most uneasy.

Jia Yun made it clear: "Don't worry, I will be able to conceive all of you in February or March next year at the most."

"At that time, Baochai was also confinement, and someone took over the management of the family affairs, so that the family would not be chaotic."

"There is one more thing to tell you in advance. Next year, the family will raise five maidservants to be aunts. At that time, don't be jealous. This is also for the sake of spreading branches and leaves, and it will not affect your status!"

Xue Baochai asked curiously, "Which girls will my husband adopt as aunts?"

"Xiangling, Xiang'er, Ying'er, Baoqin and Yuanyang." Jia Yun mused.

Xue Baochai pondered for a moment, then said: "Forget about the other girls, but Miss Yuanyang is in Jia's residence, how can I carry her?"

Jia Yun smiled and said, "She begged for grace from the old lady Jia, and she will be released from Jia's residence at the end of the year."

"That's it, then there's no problem." Xue Baochai nodded.

Jia Yun said: "These five people are fixed, but Aunt Feng and Ping'er are likely to come to the house next year, and it is inevitable to give them names."

Xue Baochai nodded and said: "In this way, the maids and mother-in-law at home may not be enough."

Xiren then said: "That's easy to handle. Didn't sister's farm outside the city want to send girls to our house to be maids for a long time? Why don't we take this opportunity to give them favors? We all know the basics, and it would be good to recruit some." use."

"In addition, at the end of the year, our family can also let go of those girls and women who are not good at ordinary times, don't like to study, steal and play tricks. It can be regarded as killing chickens and monkeys and beating the servants in the family."

Qin Keqing said: "Sister Xiren agrees with my suggestion, especially some maids in the family, because our family usually manages people leniently, so they lose their sense of awe. "

"This is my fault." Xue Baochai sighed.

Xiren shook his head and laughed, "How can you blame Madam?"
