The Red Mansions

Chapter 261 Visiting Ningguofu at night

Because there were so many people, Xue Baochai didn't make a scene.

Unhappy for sure.

After everyone dispersed, they went back to the room, and Jia Yun persuaded Xue Baochai after a good meal.

Afterwards, Xue Baochai solemnly warned: "Tan girl and Yun girl will not be stopped by the slave family, but in the future if the husband still provokes other girls without saying a word, the slave family will not forgive you easily."

Jia Yun put her arms around her, nodded repeatedly, and assured her: "All right, all right! I'll listen to you, and I won't provoke others casually in the future."

"I hope my husband will keep his word." Xue Baochai was still a little worried, and sighed.

For other things, she believed in Jia Yun's guarantee.

But Xue Baochai didn't have any confidence in Jia Yun about provoking girls.

Then, Xue Baochai didn't know what to think of, and burst out laughing out loud.

Seeing Jia Yun's doubts, Xue Baochai gritted his teeth and gave him a white look, and said with a smile: "You are also ruthless enough to catch all the girls in Jia's house!"

"If you think about it carefully, not to mention Tan girl and Yun girl, most of the family members are recruited from the Jia family..."

Speaking of this, Xue Baochai was speechless.

Jia Yun was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it for a while, she secretly thought that what Xue Baochai said was indeed right.

Qin Keqing, Xiren, Meiren, Yuanyang, etc. in the family, plus some maids, all came from Jia's mansion.

Even Xue Baochai followed her after he provoked her in Jia's mansion.

Not to mention the married women who didn't get home, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Youshi, Xia Jingui...

Well, these are all women from the Jia family.

Seeing Jia Yun's silence, Xue Baochai said tiredly, "Husband, if you try harder, all the women in Jia's mansion will become yours!"

"This..." Jia Yun hesitated, and said, "Anyone with a little bit of beauty is already there."

He took this opportunity to honestly confess his affairs with Youshi and Xia Jingui.

Xue Baochai was dumbfounded and speechless.

After a while, she took a few deep breaths and said, dumbfounded: "Husband, there is no such thing as you, You Shi and Xia Jingui are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!"

"No, even Keqing and Youshi were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law before, no wonder you are so unscrupulous!"

Jia Yun hesitated for a moment, then leaned into Xue Baochai's ear and whispered something.

"What? She's pregnant with your child?" Xue Baochai was extremely surprised, her eyes widened and her mouth was round.

Jia Yun hummed, and explained: "She said she is getting old and needs the child's stable position in Ningguo Mansion..."

"You..." Xue Baochai pointed at him, burning with anger, wanted to curse, but after thinking about it, she lowered her arms and said with a sigh:

"Hey, the deal is done, it's useless to say more, but I'll put the ugly words first, and from now on, no matter what, that child will not be allowed to enter our house!"

Jia Yun nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and agreed: "If you don't come in, I won't let their mothers in."

Xue Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Jia Yun would stubbornly bring You's mother and son home.

Although as the official wife, she can forcefully stop her, but if Jia Yun becomes stubborn, it will definitely affect the relationship between her husband and wife.

Xue Baochai was silent for a moment, then pursed her lips and said: "I have nothing to do, spend more time with my aunt at home, let them all conceive children earlier, and let them feel at ease..."

Saying that, without waiting for Jia Yun to reply, she stepped out.

After Jia Yun sent her to the door, she went back to the room and sat down at the desk, introspecting secretly.

……

After dinner, Jia Yun sent Wang Xifeng and others back to Jia's mansion.

The carriage swayed forward.

Inside the warm carriage, Jia Yun lay in Ping'er's soft arms, talking to Wang Xifeng.

Playing with Ping'er's delicate little hands, Jia Yun muttered:
"For the Jia family, the most important thing right now is to welcome the noble concubine to visit her relatives, and other things can be put aside."

"So, no matter how much trouble you and Second Uncle Lian have, the old lady will suppress you before the New Year's concubine visits, so as not to affect the major events in the mansion."

"As for whether Second Uncle Lian will reconcile with you, I guess he will, and the time should be shortly after the imperial concubine visits his relatives."

Wang Xifeng frowned and said, "Isn't he afraid that my natal family will come and cause trouble?"

"No, didn't someone from the Wang family come to Jia's mansion earlier? Nothing came out later, it should be some kind of exchange between the Jia and Wang families." Jia Yun shook her head and replied.

He glanced at Wang Xifeng, and continued: "You and Second Uncle Lian are at most acting as extras. In the face of interests, you, a girl from the Wang family, can still be sacrificed."

"Don't forget, the Wang family is indeed the pillar of the four major families in Jinling, but the Wang family is much weaker than the Jia family. That is to say, the Wang family still needs the support of the Jia family."

"Especially the imperial concubine, she is fearful in the palace, and it plays a role, and it will probably let your uncle go."

"So the matter between you and Uncle Lian, even if you take the lawsuit to your uncle, it won't change anything."

Wang Xifeng sighed, and said: "Forget it, forget it, if Jia Lian's bastard wants to divorce, I will. If you want to divorce, I will agree, but it's hard to say whether Miss Qiao can take her away."

"Well, as long as you are tougher, he should let go." Jia Yun thought for a while, pondering.

"You and Second Uncle Lian lived apart for so long, and you stayed alone in the vacant room. Isn't he the same? He probably couldn't bear it. If it wasn't for the wrong timing, he would have had a showdown with you long ago."

At this time, Ping'er reminded: "I just passed the Ningguo Mansion, and I will be home soon."

Jia Yun sat up, stepped forward and pecked Wang Xifeng, then turned around and pecked Ping'er.

Before getting out of the car, he smiled at Wang Xifeng and said, "Relax about everything, it's not a big deal!"

"When you go to my house, I will let you take care of everything. You can be as beautiful as you want. It's better than guarding the inner house in Jia's mansion!"

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Understood, I am a big-hearted person, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Jia Yun glanced at her and Heping'er, smiled, lifted the curtain, and jumped out of the carriage.

The car behind followed, and Jia Tanchun lifted the curtain and looked at him affectionately.

Jia Yun nodded slightly, watching the carriage slowly move forward, and finally drove into Rongguo Mansion.

Ningrong Street was brightly illuminated by the lights of Jia's Mansion.

It was cold at night, and many people still came out to hang out.

After pondering for a while, Jia Yun planned to meet You Shi by the way.

After all, she was pregnant with her own child, so she had to pay more attention to her recently.

Youshi's room in the back house of Ningguo Mansion.

There was a sound of bouncing on the window, and You Shi, who was making baby clothes, looked happy, put down the needle money, and walked slowly to the window.

Open it and see Jia Yun's handsome smiling face.

"Come in quickly, don't freeze outside." Youshi said with a smile.

Jia Yun entered the room through the window, rubbed her hands, and looked around Youshi up and down.

"Yes, a healthy body, a ruddy complexion, and good spirits are very good for the child's growth."

You Shi thoughtfully took off Jia Yun's cloak and put it away, then took his hand to sit on the kang, and said with a smile, "I'm naturally happy that you've been here recently."

Jia Yun pointed to the side and asked, "Master Zhen, have you seen you recently?"

"Only in the first few days when the imperial doctor confirmed that I was pregnant, I came to see it a few times, and then I went drinking and hanging out with my concubine again." Youshi shook his head and replied.

After a pause, she said again: "The keys and account books of the family's warehouse have been handed over to me. I listened to your suggestion and handed them over to my daughter-in-law."

Jia Yun nodded and said: "It's right to leave it to Brother Rong's daughter-in-law. Jia's house has already emptied its warehouses for the purpose of building a family-friendly villa. If you take over, you will have to worry about food and clothing in the house. The gain outweighs the loss."

Youshi shook his head and sighed: "Now the food and expenses in the mansion have been reduced a lot. My daughter-in-law said that since the mansion's income is low, the expenses should be paid according to the actual situation."

She smiled and said, "Even the Fenjiu that your uncle Zhen drank was cut down by the daughter-in-law. You are only allowed to drink the rice wine from the Zhuangzi, and nothing else is allowed."

Jia Yun couldn't help laughing, and said: "She is quite bold, she can really do this."

"What is she afraid to do? Holding the IOU from the Ningrong Second House in her hand, she naturally has the confidence to speak." Youshi said with a smile.

While talking, there was a sudden quarrel in the yard next door.

Jia Yun listened attentively and found that it was Xia Jingui who was arguing with Jia Rong.

"They are?" Jia Yun asked suspiciously.

Youshi sneered and said, "It's not that you bastard, Brother Rong. I don't know when, but he has his eyes on an actor named Qiguan. I can't think of leaving!"

"Think about his wife's temper. Knowing about this will make his life easier?"

Jia Yun was stunned, although Qiguan said that after the operation, she was very charming, and she was really good-looking.

But Jia Rong knew that he was a man, but she was still fascinated, which was a bit too much.

At this time, Youshi said again: "If you don't believe it, it's not just Brother Rong who was fascinated by that Qi official in our family, but also Brother Qiang, Baoyu, Brother Cong, and even your uncle Zhen. The officer looks at it differently."

Jia Yun was surprised: "Really?"

"Of course it's true, these days are the happiest." You Shi pursed her lips.

Jia Yun took a deep breath, shivered, and changed the subject: "Don't talk about him, your mother has been visiting you often recently?"

"Recently, you've come here diligently. You asked the second and third sisters to bring you all kinds of food, and she also brought them a lot." Youshi nodded and replied.

She asked curiously: "By the way, how many monthly cases have you given my mother?"

"Two taels of silver, what's the matter?" Jia Yun asked suspiciously.

Youshi nodded and said, "No wonder she seldom enjoys the autumn wind when she comes to my place recently. For her, she can live a very nourishing life with two taels of silver per month."

Jia Yun said with a smile: "This is also to save you and me trouble, a little money is nothing."

After thinking about it, he suggested: "Wait five or six miles before the new year, you can go to your mother's courtyard, and I will bring Second Sister You and Third Sister You there too, let's celebrate the new year together!"

"This..." Youshi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Alright, speaking of it, since I married into Ningguo Mansion, I haven't celebrated the New Year with my family anymore."

After talking for a while, it was late, and Jia Yun left under Youshi's reluctant eyes.

But he didn't leave Rongguo Mansion, but turned around and went to Xia Jingui's room.

As soon as she opened the window and entered the room, Xia Jingui pounced and said coquettishly in Jia Yun's arms:

"Good man, you are finally here! I didn't believe you for several days, I thought you ignored me!"

Jia Yun opened her arms, and said in a bad mood: "Speak well, and be sweet, and you must lose your identity and temperament as the eldest mistress."

"Hehe, what identity and temperament can I have?" Xia Jingui smiled, took Jia Yun's cloak and hung it up, and said:

"Let's just talk about the identity of the young mistress of the Ningguo Mansion. Didn't I buy it with silver? As for temperament, hehe, whoever says that I, Xia Jingui, has temperament, I must be in a hurry with him!"

Jia Yun went to the kang and lay down, put her hands on the back of her head, and said with a smile, "You are self-aware."

Xia Jingui smiled, pursed her lips, blinked her bright eyes, and slowly unbuttoned her robe...

"It's just in time for you to come today. I'm receiving you at Jia Rong's place. You want to make me happy."

Jia Yun frowned and said, "Why does he make you angry and wants me to make you happy?"

Xia Jingui got on the kang, turned sideways and condescendingly looked down at Jia Yun, scraped his nose with her jade fingers, and said with a charming smile:
"You are cheap and good-looking. You can enjoy a gorgeous girl like me. What else do you have to be dissatisfied and wronged?"

Jia Yun heard the words, sighed and said: "Okay, I will be a little tired, and I will love you once as hard as I can."

"It's not the same, then you should be more tired and serve me more comfortably today." Xia Jingui said with a smile, full of charm.

Jia Yun was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so she got on her horse...

……

Xia Jingui's face was flushed, dressing Jia Yun, with a pleasant smile, full of contented aftertaste.

"You are really a good person. When I was thinking of you, you came here."

Jia Yun said with a smile: "You mother-in-law is in a bad position!"

Xia Jingui laughed and said: "Then you have to come and clean me up often, it's hard to live alone in an empty room!"

"Come on, are you up to it?" Jia Yun said angrily.

Xia Jingui smiled and said, "Even if I can't bear it, wouldn't there be girl Baochan to help? I won't disappoint you, will I?"

Jia Yun glanced at Baochan who had fainted on the kang, nodded and said:
"This girl is quite good-looking, no matter how tired she is, she won't show it, unlike you, she's having a lot of fun!"

Xia Jingui blushed, lightly slapped Jia Yun's arm, and whispered, "Can you not say anything?"

Jia Yun laughed loudly, and said: "Okay, let's not talk about you, it's getting late now, I should go back."

"I won't keep you, but you must remember to come often, I miss you very much." Xia Jingui said anxiously.

Jia Yun nodded, stepped forward and kissed her hard, turned and walked to the window, jumped out, and disappeared into the night.

Xia Jingui looked out the window, sighed, then turned to Baochan and said, "Damn girl, everyone is gone, don't pretend to be asleep!"

"Grandma, the slaves are tired." Baochan opened his eyes and said pitifully.

Xia Jingui rolled her eyes and said, "Then why didn't you say you were tired just now? Did you hear him just now? In the end it was my fault."

Baochan didn't argue with her, and got up silently.

Xia Jingui walked up to the candlelight, stirred the wick, and said softly, "This is a really sad day. I thought that if I got married, I would be able to live a happy life..."

Baochan put on his clothes, got off the kang, stepped forward and said: "The life is not bad now, it's just that there are more troubles..."

"I'm talking about bad things!" Xia Jingui said through gritted teeth.
