The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 168
Jia Cong stood under the eaves of the corridor. When he saw Daiyu approaching, he stretched out his hand. Daiyu raised her head and smiled coquettishly at him. The pair of pear dimples on her cheeks looked particularly naughty. Jia Cong's eyebrows also stretched, and her peach blossom eyes were overflowing with joy. Gentle and affectionate.

"Why are you here?" When Jia Cong saw Daiyu, he already guessed her purpose of coming. He couldn't help raising his hand and gently caressing her temples. Perhaps it was because they were married that he took on the role of a lady at a young age. Despite the heavy responsibility, there is little immaturity in his eyebrows, but a touch of maturity and composure.

"The old lady sent me here to look at you!"

Daiyu said, taking a step closer to Jia Cong. Jia Cong took her hand and sat down on the chair. He held her in his arms, sat on his lap, buried his head on Daiyu, and took a deep breath. Fang raised his head at the fragrant fragrance of the girl and said, "The old lady asked you to come and tell me to go over and have this family dinner with them?"

"Well, what did Brother Cong say?" Daiyu's body tightened, her feet curled up in her embroidered shoes, and her hands rested on Jia Cong's shoulders. Just now, a burst of heat sprayed on her body, making her tremble slightly. .

Jia Cong couldn't keep teasing her, so he lay back with his pillow on the backrest, pulled Daiyu to lie on his chest, and gently caressed the girl's tender body as soft as water with his palm, "Yu'er, I can't help you. It’s so sad to be caught in the middle!”

When Daiyu heard his sigh, her heart felt like a knife. If she had not been expelled, she might not have been able to understand his pain so deeply. Now, she can only feel the same.

Daiyu put her face against his chest, and the two of them cuddled tightly. Listening to the strong heartbeat in his chest, she felt that the longing in her heart could be vented, "Brother Cong, these are nothing, family matters , I should have shouldered the responsibility."

"Back then, he destroyed not only my mother, my maternal grandfather's family, but also the entire Zhong family. Because of this incident, he has been trying his best to suppress the Zhong family. As a result, the Zhong family has only made two moves in so many years. Son, when I went to Beijing for the examination, I either broke my leg or injured my hand. If you say that this matter has nothing to do with him, I won’t believe it.”

Jia Cong had observed his filial piety for three years, and the Zhong family treated him well. It was not just the family ties. He had the urge to kill a scum like Jia She, but even thinking about such a thing was a sin.

Daiyu's soft body was nestled in his arms, like a piece of fragrant jade, and the faint fragrance penetrated Jia Cong's nose one by one. She had dealt with Jia Cong and the Zhong family before. These things, Of course I have heard about it, so why don't I feel sorry for the Zhong family?
"Although my surname is Jia, and although he is my biological father, I have never been favored by his 1.1 meters. I really can't do it if I am asked to be in vain with this big family."

In fact, he felt extremely bored when he saw these people. They were a bunch of beasts who only knew how to enjoy themselves and had no plans for themselves or their family. They didn't even have any affection for the children they gave birth to.

Although his mother never said anything to him, he knew that the last straw for his mother was that the Jia family didn't even care about his life or death. This was his mother's final motive for taking action.

If Jia She treated him like an ordinary father and son, his mother would definitely care about his feelings instead of cutting off the last strand of ties.

Of course, it was not just the Jia family who forced my grandfather to death. If he had the power one day, he would definitely have to settle this account clearly. Who was the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture back then, and who was in charge of the Ministry of Rites back then?Who is the person handling this case?
Daiyu's white and smooth little hands gently caressed Jia Cong's firm and angular cheeks, and used an onion-like finger to smooth the wrinkles between his eyebrows. Her eyes were full of affection and distress.

Jia Cong couldn't bear her worry, so he smiled, grabbed her troublemaking little hand, lowered his head, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's not talk about these spoilers, let's play a game, okay?"

"Playing...what game?" Daiyu knew that he didn't say anything nice, but something went wrong and she couldn't help but ask, stammering.

Jia Cong chuckled softly, clasped the back of Daiyu's head, tilted her body slightly, leaned down, and took her pink and moist lips into his mouth.

"Well……"

……

It didn't take long, some things were still unfinished, but they couldn't go any deeper.

Jia Cong let her go and helped her straighten her messed up clothes. After she calmed down, he said, "I'll just walk over. There are some things I don't want to do, but I have to do them, so I don't have to worry about you." Trapped in the middle.”

Daiyu only felt guilty in her heart. If she were not the old lady's granddaughter, the old lady might not always push her out. This would put Brother Cong in trouble.

Jia Cong knew at a glance that she was thinking wildly, so he put on a cloak for her, held hands and went out together, saying, "You are my wife. You usually deal with the women in the house, so you are not the granddaughter of the old lady. She will still come to you for these things, and she will only control you, and it has nothing to do with your identity."

Wife, the closest thing in this world is husband and wife. After hearing this, Daiyu felt peaceful in her heart and snuggled into Jia Cong's arms, interlocking their fingers.

Jia Cong also held her slender hand. Daiyu must not have come to him because the old lady was her grandmother, so she obediently came to him.

He has never believed in the power of blood, otherwise there would be no saying that it is better to cultivate kindness than to give birth to kindness. The relationship between the elders and the younger generations is generated in the day-to-day coexistence, not by blood.

Filial piety is greater than heaven, and Mrs. Kuang is still his direct grandmother.

When he knelt down back then, people in the world knew that Jia She and his wife treated him harshly, and that something happened to his mother later. Everything was pointed at Jia She and his wife, but people who don't know the details would think, what does this have to do with Jia's mother?

In any case, Jia Mu was not to blame. Therefore, even if he was unwilling, he could not break up with Jia Mu. He could only be patient and cowardly.

Just now, his attitude has become clear. After this time, Jia Mu thought that he was doing it for Daiyu's sake, and maintained the superficial harmony for the time being, so as not to fall behind the truth.

In Ningxi Hall, it has been almost half an hour since Daiyu left, but they have not come back. Time is passing by gradually. You can imagine the anxiety in Jia Mu's heart. She looks out the window with her old eyes, really afraid that Jia Cong will ignore her. Everything was overturned, and there was a lot of quarrel between the two houses.

The shame was secondary. What she was afraid of was letting the outside world know that the two mansions had broken up, and the killings from outside would follow. She didn't know about the Ningguo Mansion for the time being, but the Rongguo Mansion could no longer withstand any setbacks.

She is very old, and she is so humble, just for the sake of her children and grandchildren.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely dull. Sanchun sat aside, not daring to express his anger. Xifeng was usually a noisy person, but at this time, she tried to open her mouth several times but swallowed what she wanted to say.

At this moment, they are like foreigners who have been abandoned by their master. They feel embarrassed. How can they have the nerve to join in the fun?

Outside, the maid Liu'er came in quickly and looked around. She didn't see her grandma, so she had to say to Xichun, "Miss, the wife from Xifu is here with her concubine and the girl!"

Xichun is a little girl who has only lived a free and comfortable life in the backyard for the past few years and has never been involved in anything. At this time, the matter suddenly came to her. She was a little confused for a moment, stood up and looked at the old lady.

Mother Jia suddenly became energetic and said to Xifeng, "Yu'er is not here. Feng Yatou and Si Yatou should go and greet her first. They are all members of the same family and don't care about this!"

The last sentence seemed to be for herself. She was not the master of the Ningguo Mansion.

Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief. The heavy atmosphere was finally broken. She quickly stood up and walked out with Xichun.

Mrs. Wang brought Aunt Xue and Baochai from the private alley and got off at Yimen. Xifeng and Xichun arrived just in time. They met each other and the group walked towards Ningxi Hall.

When they met, Jia Cong and Dai Yu happened to be walking through the flowers and willows. They walked side by side. They really looked like a talented man and a beautiful woman as described in the play.

The man was tall and handsome, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. The woman was as delicate as a flower. I don’t know what she said. The woman laughed, like peach blossoms blooming one after another in spring. She raised her pink fist and hit the man. The man also laughed, with a pair of peach blossom eyes as soft as water. , grabbed the woman's pink fist and pulled her into his arms.

The group of people were stunned and stood still.

Mrs. Wang's face was full of disgust. She really didn't expect that Brother Cong and his wife would be so shameless, flirting and flirting in broad daylight. She really didn't know what her capable sister-in-law would do when she saw her daughter being so mean in the sky. What do you think?
At this time, Mrs. Wang was extremely glad that she had driven Daiyu away immediately. Otherwise, if such a charming girl married her Baoyu, she would have been too late to die.

Aunt Xue was also shocked. She recognized Jia Cong. She never dreamed that the man who treated them so politely and didn't care about relatives could have such a tender side. But she didn't know that the woman beside him had such a tender side. who is it?

Baochai only glanced at it, then hurriedly lowered his head, not to look at any wrongdoing, but his heart was extremely uneasy. The young powerful man, like the jade boy, was so ruthless to himself who had such an outstanding appearance, but he chose to treat someone whose appearance was not the same as his own. The other women above and below him doted on her so much that even a stupid person would feel resentful.

Jia Cong also noticed that someone was watching, so he did not hold Daiyu in his arms, but helped her to stand firm, raised his eyes and looked forward. The color was cold, sweeping over everyone, and when it fell on Xichun, it was slightly softer. "Yeah!" Daiyu blushed with shame when she saw the stranger. She shook off Jia Cong's hand and walked over to greet him in a polite manner.

"Hey, Brother Cong, you two are more particular. What did I see?"

Xifeng exaggeratedly covered her eyes with a handkerchief and joked, looking up and down Jia Cong's body. The young man was tall and tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist. He had a strong body that he had worked hard for many years and had experienced the fires and rains of war. He was full of momentum. Like a rainbow, it can easily touch the heart of a lonely woman.

Daiyu pursed her lips. Even though she had sharp lips and teeth, she really had no shame to say anything at this moment. It was all her fault, Brother Cong, so she did what she had to do. He actually had the nerve to ask some embarrassing words in her ear.

She lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief in her hands. She didn't know how people would gossip about this scene just now.

As if he hadn't heard Xifeng's words, Jia Cong walked over steadily and stood next to Daiyu, "Madam, Aunt Xue, Miss Xue, have you been on the road peacefully?"

Aunt Xue choked and thought to herself, thanks to you, she wanted to go back home all the way, but now she still has the nerve to ask, but how can she fall out with the master when she arrives at someone else's house, "take advantage of the Marquis"? , and finally we didn’t encounter any more bandits.”

After hearing this, Baochai wanted to reach out and pull her mother.

Jia Cong didn't take it seriously and looked at Xifeng coldly as she introduced Daiyu, "This is Aunt Xue, this is Sister Bao, and this is your Sister Lin, my aunt's daughter. We call her Brother Cong's daughter-in-law, so you guys saw it too." Yes, this young couple is just like mixing honey with oil."

Aunt Xue did not expect that Daiyu was already married at such a young age, but seeing that her appearance and figure had not yet consummated the marriage, she found it strange and took Daiyu's hand, "She is the old lady's granddaughter. Let's see. This appearance, this figure, this temperament, among the sisters I have ever seen, I have never seen anyone better than her, even my Baochai is inferior to her."

Daiyu had just been teased by Xifeng, and now she was unavoidably shy and looked shy. On her snowy jade face, there were two wisps of crimson like clouds, and her voice was soft and delicate, "Auntie made fun of you!"

Baochai felt a sense of pleasure when she saw Daiyu gracefully and elegantly, like a beautiful flower shining in the water. When she raised her eyes, she saw the young man looking at Daiyu with a pair of peach blossom eyes, looking at Daiyu with deep concentration and patience, and his heart couldn't help but beat a little. He stepped forward, held Daiyu's hand and said, "Sister Lin!"

"Hello, Sister Xue!"

Acknowledging relatives outside, Yuanyang was watching outside in Ningxi Hall. He was relieved when he saw Daiyu and Jia Cong coming together. He also saw his wife leading Aunt Xue and others, so he delayed at the door and hurriedly came in to report the news. , "Old lady, Mr. Cong is here, and his concubine is also here. The two groups of people met and are talking at the front door."

"There is a sister Bao in my aunt's house. I wonder if she is here?" Baoyu was like an eggplant whipped by frost at first, but now he was full of energy. Sister Lin had ignored him for a long time. Sister Bao came and he Someone is being naughty again.

"He's here. Second Master, why don't you go take a look?"

Jia Muhai breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the child Cong'er is willing to come, it will be easy to talk about. There is some truth. She has to distinguish between him and him. He is not only the Marquis of Ningguo Mansion, but also the patriarch of the Jia family. How can he ignore the overall situation?
Not to mention anything else, if he dared to be unfilial to her as a grandmother, all she had to do was cry in the palace, and he would be the prince instead of the marquis, and the python robe on his body would be stripped off.

Although his maternal grandfather's family is gone because of the Jia family, his troubled mother is not a good person either. Now the eldest man can only lie down most of the time, and often suffers from shortness of breath and faints. It can scare people to death, but even if it doesn't hit both ends, what else does he have to resent?

The old lady thought, and finally endured this breath. When she saw Baoyu running out happily, she smiled and said, "Slow down, don't fall, Yuanyang, go and watch him."

"Yes!"

Outside, Daiyu and Baochai were sizing each other up. Baoyu rushed out, first stood not far away and sized up the two of them. Mrs. Wang led her to greet Aunt Xue, then she pointed at Baochai and said, "This is It must be Sister Bao!"

Baochai then let go of Daiyu, raised his eyes and looked towards Baoyu, and saw his aunt's cousin's golden crown and fine clothes. His face was like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, his color was like the flowers of spring dawn, his temples were like a knife cut, his eyebrows were like an ink painting, and his face was like an ink painting. The peach petals, the eyes are like autumn waves, and the male and female faces are naturally handsome and extraordinary.

For some reason, when Baochai saw this cousin, she could not help but compare him secretly with Jia Cong in her heart. If Jia Cong treated others too coldly, now this cousin treated others too enthusiastically.

Baoyu was also looking at Baochai at this time, and saw that this sister was wearing a honey-colored cotton-padded jacket, a rose-purple gold and silver mouse-like shoulder-length coat, and an onion-yellow silk cotton skirt. She was as white and greasy as a pile of snow, with a plump body and Yang. The beauty of the concubine.

She has simple beaded flowers on her temples, her lips are not dotted but red, her eyebrows are not painted but green, her face is like a silver basin, her eyes are like apricots, her figure is regular, her face is beautiful, she stands as graceful as a flower blooming in the courtyard in April. White peony is elegant, delicate, plump and elegant.

Baoyu couldn't help but feel happy. From now on, he wouldn't have to think about Sister Lin all the time. He could get closer to Sister Bao.

"Sister Bao!" Baoyu couldn't help but call out, and the gaze that fell on Baochai's face trembled slightly.

"Brother Bao!" After Baochai looked at Baoyu, his eyes could not help but stop for a moment on the jade on his chest, and he thought to himself, this is the piece of jade he was holding when he fell into the grass.

At this moment, Yuanyang came over. He recognized his relatives and said hurriedly, "Madam, concubine, Third Master Cong, the old lady is waiting over there!"

Mrs. Wang and others couldn't help but look towards Jia Cong. Jia Cong nodded slightly and protected Daiyu in front of him to avoid being hit by Baoyu. The group of people headed towards Ningxi Hall in a mighty manner.

Baoyu and Baochai were a few steps behind. Jia Cong, a martial arts practitioner with sharp ears and eyes, heard Baoyu ask Baochai with great interest, "Has sister ever read?"

Baochai said, "I have never read it. I can only recognize a few characters. If I don't do it, I will be blind!"

"What are the two characters in my sister's honorific name?"

Baochai paused, as if he was a little embarrassed, and said in an unnatural tone, "Baochai is the treasure of 'I have three treasures', and Chaochai is..."

"Who would have thought that Sister Bao's character "宝" actually has the same name as mine. I also have the same character "宝". Does Sister Bao have jade?"

Already entering Ningxi Hall, the huge Ningxi Hall was quiet. I only heard Baoyu's voice asking, "Sister Bao, do you have any jade?" Even Jia Cong stopped in his tracks and turned his head back. Look.

Daiyu stood aside and watched a little nervously. Obviously this scene brought back bad memories for her. She vaguely remembered that when she first entered Jia's house, Baoyu asked the same question in the old lady's Rongqing Hall. , she didn't know what she said in reply, which made Baoyu throw the jade.

Feeling her hand being squeezed gently, Daiyu looked up at the person next to her. Seeing him lowering his eyes slightly and smiling softly at her, the corners of Daiyu's lips curled up, feeling relieved.

Baochai glanced at his jade again, and just as she didn't know how to answer, the maid behind her smiled and said, "Second Master Bao, our girl doesn't have jade, but she has a gold lock. Although it's not as rare as Second Master's jade, it's still... …!”

"Ying'er!" Baochai Qishang Saixue's cheeks turned slightly red and she said coquettishly, "What do you want me to say?"

"It turns out that Sister Bao has a golden lock. I said, a fairy like Sister Bao must also have a rare thing!"

Baochai's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Jia Cong, but she saw that Jia Cong didn't know what he was talking to Daiyu, his eyebrows were gentle, and he didn't pay attention at all. For some reason, she felt a little lost, and she lowered her eyes and said , "Brother Bao, let's not talk about this for now. The old lady is waiting. Let's go over!"

"Sister Bao, come with me!" He pushed aside the crowd and led them to Jia Mu. He sat down next to Jia Mu and said happily, "Old Ancestor, look at Sister Bao, I always say that our family Sisters and sisters are one of a kind. I never thought that here comes Sister Bao, who is truly a superior person. Isn’t it a hundred times better than what we have at home?”

Mrs. Wang was very happy after hearing this. She looked at Aunt Xue and said with a smile, "That's good. It will be easier for the sisters to get along with each other in the future. If we keep having trouble every day, it will damage the harmony."

These words were actually referring to Daiyu. Jia Cong laughed and said, "Brother Bao always feels sorry for his elder sister in the boudoir. How can he care about his daughter's family? If there is really a quarrel in the boudoir, If you don't open it, it must be Brother Bao's fault!"
