The Red Mansions

Chapter 260 Garden party, stealing food at leisure

In winter, the soft sunlight shines down on people, warming them up.

Xue Baochai had nothing to do, so Yinger took a pair of scissors and patiently trimmed Jia Yun's nails.

Xue Baoqin sat on the other side, holding sweet and delicious oranges, and feeding Jia Yun from time to time.

Wang Xifeng glanced at Xue Baoqin and asked, "Girl Qin, what is your brother doing now?"

"Uh, I'm following my cousin to take care of business routes. After the new year, I should go back to the south to take charge of one side's affairs." Xue Baoqin thought for a while and replied.

Wang Xifeng asked strangely: "It's been a year, are they still busy?"

"No, they have been free for the past few days. They go out to eat and drink when they have nothing to do, and they don't stay at home all day." Xue Baoqin shook his head.

Xue Baochai interjected and asked Wang Xifeng, "Cousin Feng, I heard that the Rongguo Mansion has bought an opera troupe, how good is it?"

"It's not bad. I just watched a play a few days ago, and it's pretty good." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

After a pause, she asked, "Why, do you want to watch a play? Shall I go back and tell the troupe to come and perform for you?"

Xue Baochai shook her head and smiled, "Thank you cousin, forget it, it's quite troublesome."

"What trouble is it? It's just a matter of one sentence. You can set a time and arrange it when I go back!" Wang Xifeng said in a big way.

Qin Keqing answered: "Don't bother, our female family members have all practiced singing and dancing by themselves, and are going to perform at the night watch on New Year's Eve."

Wang Xifeng showed a surprised expression on his face, and said unexpectedly: "When did you prepare it? Why didn't I know?"

"Hee hee, they all took time out to practice. Xiang'er, Jing'er, Yuan'er, and Lian'er are mainly in charge of the program. We just practice along with it." Qin Keqing said with a smile.

Wang Xifeng sighed, and said: "Well, you guys did it really well!"

Jia Yun answered, "Don't be envious, we're just a small scene, and it can't compare to Rongguo Mansion."

"It's different. You rehearse singing and dancing by yourself, and the atmosphere is more warm and homely." Wang Xifeng shook his head and said with a smile.

Xue Baochai agreed: "That's true. The scene in Rongguo Mansion is big, lively enough, and full of style, but it's not very down-to-earth."

Jia Yun said with a smile: "There is nothing to compare this kind of thing. Each has its own characteristics and advantages. Let's live our lives well."

Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes at him, and said: "You speak lightly, but since you are promising, the clansmen will compare Sanfang with Dafang at will, can you stop it?"

"Also, if you don't believe me, if you can pass the Jinshi exam next year, there will be more clansmen who praise you, and you will have a headache at that time."

Jia Yun said indifferently: "The mouth grows on other people. If they want to flatter them, they can flatter them. Why should I have a headache? If there is something to be said, the clan elders will protect me."

"This is what I said, if the clansman has something serious to do, why don't you keep busy with them?" Wang Xifeng said with pursed lips.

Jia Yun nodded and said: "I will definitely help when there is a fatal matter, but it depends on the situation. If there are clansmen who do something that ignores human life, I will not care."

While talking, Shi Xiangyun waited for some girls who had gone crazy in the garden to come back.

Shi Xiangyun walked up to Jia Yun with a bunch of plum blossoms in full bloom, and asked with a smile:

"Brother-in-law, look, isn't this flower pretty?"

Jia Yun laughed and said, "The flowers are beautiful, but luckily you don't come to my house often, or else you would have broken all the plum blossoms in the yard."

Shi Xiangyun giggled, a little embarrassed, blushing all over his face.

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Don't listen to your brother-in-law, you can fold it as you like, anyway, it will grow again in the coming year, which saves the servants from pruning."

"Sister Bao still loves me." Hearing this, Shi Xiangyun squatted down, lying on Xue Baochai's lap like a baby, and still turned his head to cast Jia Yun a smug look.

Jia Yun couldn't help laughing.

After talking and joking for a while, Xiren brought some cards over, divided them into several tables, and everyone separated to play cards.

The playing cards at this time were the predecessor of mahjong, called "Ma Diao" or "He Pai".

Mahjong evolved from horse hanging into dominoes.

The horse tag is played by four people. Each person takes eight cards first, and the remaining eight cards are placed in the middle of the table.

Four people take turns playing and taking cards, playing cards to beat small ones.

There are dealers and players in horse tagging.

There is no fixed owner in the village, so you can take turns to sit.

Therefore, the three players joined forces to attack the dealer and make the dealer go down.

Jia Yun saw that Xue Baochai didn't want to fight, so she didn't go to the table, but just watched the fun from the sidelines.

Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Qin Keqing, Xiren and other women were excited and excited as soon as they came to the table, which shows that they usually play cards a lot.

"Brother-in-law, I've always been unlucky, why don't you come over and help me make up my mind?" Shi Xiangyun called out softly at the opposite table.

Jia Yun smiled and said, "You fight by yourself. If you lose, it's my fault. If I come to help, it won't be interesting."

Shi Xiangyun's face collapsed, and he muttered, "Okay!"

With a slight smile on Xue Baochai's face, she whispered, "Husband, Sister Yun is angry."

"Don't worry about her, it will be fine later." Jia Yun shook her head and smiled.

Xue Baochai didn't persuade her much, she put her hands on her tall belly and stroked it slowly, her face glowed with maternal brilliance.

……

Garden corner.

Jia Yun and Jia Tanchun walked slowly hand in hand.

The two haven't been intimate in private for several days, and now they talk about themselves and enjoy the rare peace.

"Don't go forward. If you turn around, people will see you." Jia Tanchun pulled Jia Yun back and stopped.

Jia Yun glanced at her sideways.

Today's Jia Tanchun is wearing a leather jacket with a double-breasted stand-up collar embroidered with orchid patterns, a crane cloak in a white fox with a red feather gauze, and small boots of fragrant red sheepskin pinched with gold, looking elegant and rich.

Jia Yun opened her arms, Jia Tanchun smiled knowingly, and threw herself into his arms like a baby swallow returning to its nest.

"It's really soothing." Jia Tanchun rubbed against Jia Yun's arms, and said with joy on his face.

Jia Yun put her arms around her waist, smelled her scent, and asked softly, "What have you been up to lately?"

"I'm busy making clothes and shoes for you. Because I made them for you, I can only do them secretly, lest others find out and cause unnecessary trouble." Jia Tanchun pouted.

"I originally planned to give it to you years ago, but I still haven't done it well. I just wait for the new year."

Jia Yun smiled, hugged her tightly, and said, "You have a heart!"

He didn't say no, after all, Jia Tanchun made clothes and shoes for him out of kindness, but he couldn't live up to it.

A joyful smile bloomed on Jia Tanchun's face, and he said, "I didn't do well, so you shouldn't be disgusted when you see it."

"I don't mind it, no matter what you make, I will like it." Jia Yun said with a smile.

Then, Jia Yun measured Jia Tanchun's body.

"Ice cold, hee hee..." Jia Tanchun hugged Jia Yun's neck and laughed, but did not resist.

Jia Yun sighed: "Your body is so soft that I can't put it down."

"Play as you want, it's all yours anyway." Jia Tanchun narrowed his eyes and said.

As she spoke, she froze, gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, and fell silent.

The breeze was blowing, the leaves were rustling, and there was a rustling sound in the corner.

Jia Tanchun's face was red and his ears were red, he clenched his teeth tightly, for fear of making strange noises.

Maybe it was because of the cold, she gradually started to swing, and she collapsed into Jia Yun's arms, allowing him to play with her.

After a while, Jia Tanchun said leisurely: "Why are you free, go to my room!"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Jia Yun was stunned for a moment and asked curiously.

Jia Tanchun blushed with embarrassment, stood on tiptoe, put his mouth next to Jia Yun's ear, and muttered.

Hearing this, Jia Yun looked excited, nodded fiercely and said, "That's good, I've thought about it a long time ago."

Jia Tanchun rolled his eyes at him, looked at him tactfully, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "You are so beautiful!"

After the two made out for a while, Jia Yun helped Jia Tanchun tidy up his clothes.

"I'll go back first, and you'll come after a while." Jia Tanchun urged.

Jia Yun nodded, and said with a smile: "Go ahead, although we are doing deceitful things, but for your reputation, we have to trouble."

Jia Tanchun hummed, took the initiative to come forward, kissed Jia Yun, and then turned away with a smile on his face.

Jia Yun looked at her back, smacked her lips a few times, thinking secretly, when she was free, she would go to Jia's mansion to explore the spring room and be happy.

Wandering around the corner for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Jia Yun was about to walk back, but suddenly stopped.

"How did this girl Xiangyun come here?" Jia Yun thought to herself, "It seems that she has been keeping an eye on my whereabouts just now."

After a while, Shi Xiangyun came.

She bit her fat lip, and when she was not far from Jia Yun, she slowed down, blinked her eyes, and walked forward slowly.

"Wow! Sure enough, I guessed correctly, you also have a relationship with Sister Tan." Shi Xiangyun sniffed at Jia Yun, and whispered.

Jia Yun stretched out her hands to hold Shi Xiangyun's clean face, and asked with a smile, "Are you jealous?"

"Why am I jealous? Speaking of which, I'm the same as her. Aren't I also doing that shameless thing?" Shi Xiangyun wanted to shake his head, but he couldn't shake it, so he could only reply with blinking eyes.

Jia Yun squeezed her cheeks and puffed up, bowed her head and took a bite, and said with a smile, "We're in love!"

"Tch, don't lie to me just because I'm young." Shi Xiangyun rolled his eyes at him and said.

Then she pressed Jia Yun's hands down, threw herself into his arms, and said with a smile:

"But it's quite interesting to be able to make out with you. If you have no face and no skin, let's have no face and no skin!"

Jia Yun picked her up by the waist and whispered, "Come on, let's go play in the attic, where it's quiet and no one will bother you."

"It's all up to you." Shi Xiangyun said with a smile, with a shy expression on his face, he threw himself into Jia Yun's arms and dared not look at him.

Soon, Jia Yun came to the attic with Shi Xiangyun in his arms.

Just as he was about to put her on the couch, Shi Xiangyun suddenly hugged Jia Yun's neck and said softly:
"Brother-in-law, you have to stay with me for a while today, or it will be a long time before I see you again."

Jia Yun shook her head and smiled and said, "No, there are so many people here today, and we have dinner later, so we have to go!"

Before she could continue speaking, Jia Yun pressed her down and pushed her up...

……

"Hiss..." Shi Xiangyun gasped, with a frightened expression on his face, and said softly:

"It hurts so much on the side of the door, but if I really give it to you in the future, wow!"

Jia Yun chuckled and said, "Well, it's not as scary as you imagined, and you'll know it in the future."

Shi Xiangyun pulled the towel on the stool next to him, helped Jia Yun clean, looked down carefully, sighed, wrinkled his nose, and muttered: "It's so ugly! It's so ugly!"

Jia Yun patted her on the forehead and said angrily, "You're so ugly, do you still like to play?"

"Hee hee, it's ugly to begin with, and I'm not wrong." Shi Xiangyun covered his mouth and chuckled, but there was a soft light in his eyes.

Jia Yun didn't argue with her, but said: "Clean up quickly, and I'll go back later."

"Oh." Shi Xiangyun replied, he learned without a teacher, and slowly served Jia Yun.

After a while, after tidying up, Shi Xiangyun pulled a towel over and threw it to Jia Yun.

"I served you just now, but you have to serve me now, or I will ignore you in the future."

Jia Yun took the towel, got up and stepped forward, and said with a smile, "That's fine, we won't suffer."

As soon as Shi Xiangyun finished speaking, he regretted it, but now he had to bite the bullet and let Jia Yun serve her, blushing behind his ears and even his neck.

Jia Yun leaned over to take a closer look, and sighed, "You're so pretty, charming and plump, how did you grow?"

"Bad guy, hurry up and make fun of me again, it's already dark." Shi Xiangyun bit his lip and said in a bad mood.

Jia Yun laughed loudly, stopped laughing at her, and cleaned her up carefully.

Shi Xiangyun's mind was blank, and he felt that what he did with Jia Yun today was like a dream.

When she was ashamed, Jia Yun whispered again: "It's really fragrant, the fragrance is so fragrant, it makes people want to taste it."

"Don't!" Shi Xiangyun was startled, and quickly said: "The place is so dirty, if you want it, I will wash it for you later."

Jia Yun nodded and hummed, and said, "Okay, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Jia Manor invited me to celebrate the New Year. When the time comes, you are ready, and I want to have a good meal."

"Well, it's so embarrassing!" Shi Xiangyun turned over and threw himself under the quilt, thinking that Jia Yun was going to eat that, he felt very ashamed, but he also looked forward to it.

Jia Yun smiled, slapped her buttocks, and reminded:
"Don't cover your face, let's get down quickly after we've cleaned up, lest Xiren and the others look around."

Shi Xiangyun hummed, raised his head with a blushing face, first stepped forward gently, and waited on Jia Yun to get dressed.

"I'll do it myself, it's a bit cold right now, don't freeze." Jia Yun cared.

Shi Xiangyun shook his head and said: "Don't be afraid, it's nothing for a while, I just want to serve you once, this kind of opportunity is rarely encountered."

Jia Yun stared at her face for a few times, stepped forward to hug her, wrapped her in clothes, and whispered softly in her ear:
"You are a good person, I love you so much, put on your clothes quickly, I will feel sorry for you if you are cold."

Shi Xiangyun hummed, and said charmingly: "You are so kind!"

After flirting for a while, the two got dressed and went downstairs.

Downstairs, Shi Xiangyun went back directly, but Jia Yun made a detour.

Before returning to the women's game, sat down beside Xue Baochai, and heard her whisper:
"You smell like sister Tanchun, no, you have sister Xiangyun..."

Saying that, Xue Baochai glanced at him tiredly, bit her lip, and her nose felt a little sore.

She leaned close to Jia Yun's ear, choked up and said, "There are so many girls in the family, isn't it enough for you?"

PS: It's the beginning of the month again, ask for tickets.
