The Red Mansions

Chapter 257 Qingwen: Slaves are not afraid

In the Lin Mansion, Jia Yun waited until the afternoon, but Lin Ruhai did not come back.

So he stopped waiting and left first.

When I got home, I changed into loose and warm cotton clothes. As soon as I sat down to have a cup of tea, Qin Keqing came to find me.

"The concubine and my wife have discussed the dinner on New Year's Eve. Can you see if there is anything that needs to be changed or added?" Qin Keqing walked into the room with a smile and said.

Jia Yun looked up at her, and saw that Qin Keqing was wearing a heart-stirring bun, wearing a light red padded gown, with a graceful figure, full curves, and a charming temperament. Her face was rosy and shiny without makeup, which could be broken by blowing bombs.

Jia Yun put down the teacup, stood up, took Qin Keqing's jade hand, went back to the tea table and sat down, and put her on her lap.

"Read it to me." Jia Yun smelled her body fragrance and said with a smile.

Qin Keqing pursed her lips, smiled slightly, eh, opened her small mouth lightly and said:
"The existing ingredients are winter bamboo shoots, whitebait, pigeon eggs, spicy live rabbits, ground squirrels, half-winged chicken..."

"Miluo tangerine, phoenix tangerine, Zhangzhou tangerine, olive, small kumquat, wind water chestnut, crispy lotus root..."

"Crispy dumplings, roasted bamboo shoots, goose and chicken, fried fish, steamed and fried fish, stewed quail, chicken soup, rice rotten soup, eight-treasure soup, mutton and pork buns, jujube rolls, paste oil steamed cakes, milk cakes, Naipi..."

"Vegetable vegetables include chicken from southern Yunnan, mushrooms such as small flower tripe and chicken legs and silver plates from Wutai, sea cabbage, dragon whiskers, kelp, antlers, and seaweed from the East China Sea..."

"Artemisia bamboo shoots, bad bamboo shoots, mushrooms from the south of the Yangtze River, pine nuts from Liaodong, yellow flowers and lily needles from northern Jiangsu, soil medicine and potatoes from the capital, and moss from the southern capital..."

"Wudang bamboo shoots, sealwort, black essence, Beishan hazel, chestnut, pear, jujube, walnut, coptis tea, magnolia sprouts, bracken, manjing..."

"..."

As she recited, Qin Keqing's voice became smaller and smaller, her eyes moved, and her breathing gradually became short of breath.

She put down the notebook in her hand, leaned softly into Jia Yun's arms, closed her eyes, silently felt the ravages on her chest, and murmured:
"I will never let this concubine off for a moment...but I like it very much..."

As soon as the voice fell, the book fell to the ground with a crisp "pop".

Jia Yun's hand tightened, Qin Keqing followed suit, and the temperature in the room gradually increased.

"Master, don't stay here, go to the house..." Qin Keqing blushed and whispered.

Jia Yun smiled, picked her up by the waist, and walked into the house.

Soon, there was a very violent creaking and shaking sound in the room, and it was also mixed with the joyful sounds of Jia Yun and Qin Keqing.

The servant girls Xiangling, Xiang'er, Shuangqing, Ruizhu, Baozhu and others in the outer room looked at each other, they all blushed, bowed their heads and remained silent.

At this time, Xiren came with Qingwen and Sheyue, and just about to speak, he saw Xiangling waving his hands to signal, and then pointed inward.

Xiren was stunned for a moment, and when he heard the voice coming from the room, he spat softly, rolled his eyes and said:
"Master is really energetic all day long, so he doesn't hide it in broad daylight."

As she said that, she turned her head to look at Qingwen and Sheyue, seeing that they were blushing and dripping water, she couldn't help laughing secretly, and whispered to them to go to the corridor to guard.

in the room.

Qin Keqing was screaming, and after a while she was sweating all over her body, and her head was steaming hot, screaming that she couldn't bear it.

"Master, call Ruizhu and the others to come in and help, I'm about to faint!" Qin Keqing said softly.

Jia Yun shook her head and said, "I can't do it today, you have worked hard during this time, I want to make it up to you, hehe..."

Qin Keqing hugged Jia Yun's waist, gritted her teeth and insisted, no longer evading, enduring the pain she couldn't bear.

Beds, round tables, desks, wardrobes and other furniture all creaked one after another...

The brazier in the corner of the room emits red light, roasting the icy air, making the room warm.

Qin Keqing in the boudoir is undoubtedly extremely beautiful, and she is so charming that Jia Yun can't put it down and can't stop!

"Bang bang bang bang..." The desk continued to hit the wall rhythmically, making a crisp and muffled sound.

Who clapped happily, louder than slapping others.

Half an hour later, Qin Keqing finally wailed, and limp in Jia Yun's arms, motionless.

The house is in a mess, it's like you got into a fight.

Xiangling outside and the maid waited for the maids to see that the inside was quiet, and after waiting for an incense stick, they fetched hot water and came in for cleaning.

Xiren hesitated for a moment, and finally followed in.

After arriving in the room, Xiren saw Qin Keqing rolling his eyes and breathing heavily, he couldn't help laughing to himself, and felt a little sympathetic.

Thinking about being tossed by Jia Yun usually, it's not much better.

Although he was happy physically and mentally, he was also very exhausted. It was no easier than being a maid and doing rough work.

Jia Yun put her hands on the back of her head and said to Baozhu: "You take a soft pillow and put it under Keqing's waist. It will be beneficial."

Baozhu responded, and quickly turned around to get a soft pillow from the closet, and served Qin Keqing on it.

Jia Yun let out a long breath, and when she saw Xiren coming in, she smiled at her, patted the edge of the bed, and beckoned her to sit down.

Xiren pouted, didn't follow him, took a round stool and stepped forward.

"Now that there is no child in the family, the master doesn't have to worry about it, but if there is a child, the master should pay attention to avoid taboos when he is happy." Xi Ren reminded softly.

Jia Yun froze for a moment, nodded and smiled, "You're right, after I have a child at home, I will definitely not be so unscrupulous again."

Xiren pursed his lips and smiled, no longer entangled with this matter.

She glanced at Qin Keqing and asked curiously, "Master, is it useful to use a soft pillow like this?"

"There should be. Baochai wanted to get pregnant, so that's what she did." Jia Yun replied vaguely.

Xiren nodded silently, and said: "The concubine will also learn from it in the future, whether it is useful or not, it is good to be more prepared."

Jia Yun looked at her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this kind of thing has to go with the flow, the more relaxed the mind and body, the easier it is to get pregnant."

"How can we not be in a hurry?" Xi Ren thought to himself, but agreed in his mouth: "Okay, listen to the master, I don't worry about it."

Soon, the maids cleaned up, Jia Yun asked Qin Keqing to rest for a while, and got up first.

Jia Yun opened her hands, and she waited for her to dress. She was gentle and considerate, meticulous, and her eyes were full of love.

After Jia Yun got dressed, Xiren hesitated and said, "Master, this year the concubine will not go back to her natal family to visit her relatives."

"Oh? Why?" Jia Yun asked strangely.

Xiren bit his lip and said, "I know Master loves me, but I don't like to make it public."

Jia Yun nodded and said: "Then don't make much publicity, can't you not make a big fanfare?"

"It's better to wait until the festival is over, and the concubine will find time to go back. I first sent a maid to deliver a letter to my mother's house, saying that I will go back to visit my relatives after the Lantern Festival." Xiren whispered.

Seeing her seriousness, Jia Yun pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Well, if you want to, I won't force you, but there are a lot of gifts for the holidays."

"Although they are not expensive things, courtesy is more important than friendship. You don't want your natal family to be made fun of by neighbors?"

Xiren nodded and said with a smile: "A concubine will not refuse a gift for her mother's family, and everything will be done according to the master's arrangement."

Jia Yun smiled, turned to Qin Keqing and said, "Keqing, you should rest for a while before getting up, don't be in a hurry to do things in the yard, if there is anything, I will let Xiren help first."

"Then trouble sister Xiren." Qin Keqing said shyly.

Xiren said it would be no trouble, followed Jia Yun out of the room, and sat outside to talk.

Jia Yun poured a cup of tea and was about to pass it to Xi Ren.

But Xiren suddenly leaned forward, put his elbows on his legs, held his face in his hands, and looked up at Jia Yun with a smile.

Jia Yun smiled slightly, leaned over and gave her a bite, and asked with a smile, "Why are you looking at me?"

"Master, feed me." Xiren blinked her bright eyes and said softly.

Jia Yun laughed, put one arm around her small waist, and held the teacup in the other, carefully feeding her tea.

"This tea is sweet." Xiren took a sip and said with a smile.

Jia Yun tapped her forehead lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't make trouble, I just got sage's disease right now, so I can't mess with you."

Qingwen and Sheyue who were standing beside covered their mouths and laughed lightly, but they found something wrong, so they quickly suppressed their mouths and restrained their smiles.

Jia Yun looked up at the two of them carefully, nodded and said, "You two girls have become more and more outstanding since you came to my house, are you still used to it now?"

"Returning to the master, the servants will get used to it as soon as they come here, there is nothing wrong with it." Qingwen took half a step forward and replied with a bow.

Qingwen was born extraordinarily beautiful, with a clever mouth.

Dressed up like a Shih Tzu every day, romantic and dexterous, able to speak well in front of people, and strong in grasping.

If she didn't speculate in a word, she would raise her eyes and scold people, making a fool of herself.

The waist of the water snake, the shoulders are slashed, and the eyebrows and eyes are a bit like Lin Daiyu.

Her hairpins are loose and her temples are loose, and her blouse hangs down, showing the legacy of spring sleep and holding her heart.

As for Musk Moon, Ren Zhang's beauty is needless to say, but his personality is [-] to [-]% trustworthy with Xi Ren, and he has a clever mouth, but he is low-key, doesn't like to make publicity, and does things well.

After the two girls came to the house, they followed the attacker, and soon became her right and left arms.

As the saying goes, Jia Yun loves to attack people, so she naturally pays more attention to her maids.

Hearing Qingwen's reply, Jia Yun smiled and waved to her.

Qingwen pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment. Seeing Xiren nod secretly, she stepped forward slowly and came to Jia Yun's side.

Jia Yun stretched out her hand to measure and feel her body, and said with a smile:

"Your bones are more plump and plump than when you were at home, and you must continue to maintain this state in the future."

Qingwen blushed in response, bowed her head in silence, wanted to see her toes, but was covered by a pair of peaks, so she couldn't see her at all.

Xiren patted Jia Yun lightly, and said angrily, "Don't bully Sister Qingwen. Although she has a strong temper, she has little experience and can't let go of face."

Jia Yun nodded, retracted her hands and replied, "Forget it, it's not hard for you girl."

Qingwen bit her lip, slowly raised her head, her eyes were full of spring, she was courageous, and shyly said: "Master, don't be afraid of slaves, you just play with it."

"Yeah, count me as a villain!" Xiren rolled her eyes and said angrily.

Jia Yun laughed loudly, hugged Qingwen over, lay her on her back, put her on her legs, lowered her head and gave her a hard peck, and asked:

"I heard that you have an aunt and brother, is there such a thing?"

Qingwen hummed, blinked her eyes, and replied: "My uncle's elder brother's surname is Wu Minggui. He is a professional chef and works as a cook in Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Yun nodded, he knew Wu Gui, he was honest and timid, he was addicted to alcohol, married a woman named Duo Niu, who had an affair with Jia Lian.

"Do you often visit him now?" Jia Yun asked.

Qingwen nodded lightly and said: "I go back every now and then, and come back every time I say a few words."

After hesitating for a while, Qingwen said nervously: "What's wrong? I just don't want to go back from now on."

"That's not true, I was just asking casually." Jia Yun shook her head and smiled.

While talking, Xiang Ling and other maidservants who had tidied up the room rushed in.

Xiang Ling stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Master, Madam and Madam Xue are coming here."

When Qingwen heard this, she turned over and stood up, walked a few steps, took a few deep breaths, and stood on the sidelines.

Strange to say, perhaps because Xue Baochai is his wife, Qingwen is not afraid of anyone at home, except Xue Baochai.

Now when she heard her coming, Qingwen was like a mouse seeing a cat, not daring to get tired of Jia Yun.

The reason is that Xue Baochai's nod is needed for the maid in the family to become an aunt.

So Qingwen didn't want to leave a bad impression in front of Xue Baochai.

Jia Yun glanced at Qingwen with a smile, got up and went to the door to greet her.

Xue Baochai is pregnant and walks extra carefully. According to the expected date of delivery, she will give birth in February of the new year.

"Why don't you stay in the room in this cold weather? If you really want to talk to me, just send a maid to call me." Jia Yun stepped forward and asked concerned.

Before Xue Baochai replied, Xue Wang said with a smile: "Baochai saw that he was so bored in the room, and said he wanted to come out to get some air."

After a pause, she asked again: "My child, Baochai is about to give birth in the new year. Is the midwife ready?"

"It's ready. Not only have I found a midwife, but I've also invited a doctor from the palace. I'll be waiting at home after the Lantern Festival." Jia Yun replied.

Xue Wang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and smiled: "That's good, everything should be prepared, so as not to be in a hurry when things come to an end."

Xue Baochai smiled and said: "Mother, stop nagging, my husband has been preparing for this matter for half a year, and has taken care of all aspects, so don't worry."

"You girl, am I worried about you?" Xue Wang said with a smile and shook his head.

While talking, several people came to the house and sat down around the brazier.

Before he could speak, a little maid came outside, ran in panting, kowtowed to Jia Yun and said:
"Master, Miss Ping'er is waiting outside the door, and said that she has something urgent to discuss with the master."

Startled, Jia Yun got up quickly, talked to Xue Baochai and the others, and then walked out.

At the same time, he thought to himself: "Ping'er is here now, is there something unexpected?"

When he came to the gate, he saw Ping'er rubbing his hands and stamping his feet in the wind and snow, showing anxiety on his face.

Seeing Jia Yun coming out, she took a few steps forward and shouted anxiously: "Brother Yun, it's too bad, grandma and Second Master Lian are fighting..."
