The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 226 Jia Cong: Miss Xue might as well ask Brother Bao

Jia Cong was reading in the study room. He was thinking about whether to take the provincial examination.

When it is difficult to make a decision, you need to look back at your original intention and what is your original intention for doing something. If it is for the sake of righteousness, then do it without hesitation. If it is for your own selfish interests, then give it up.

When asked about his true feelings, Jia Cong couldn't think of any significance for the country and the people to participate in the provincial examination. He just wanted to verify his strength through the provincial examination. He had the ability to compete in the imperial examination, but this was really meaningless to him. .

After thinking about it, Jia Cong started reading again and felt a sense of peace that he had not seen for a long time.

Qingwen's voice came from outside the door, "Is the Marquis inside?"

Kong An asked, "What's the matter?"

Qingwen's voice became louder and louder, revealing a hint of reluctance as she said, "Miss Xue is here, saying she has something urgent to come to see the Marquis. Madam asked me to ask the Marquis to come over and talk."

Jia Cong knew the purpose of Baochai's coming. Xue Pan was nowhere to be found today. Aunt Xue and her daughter were naturally anxious. However, he was not a member of the Xue family and had no responsibility or obligation to support the Xue family.

When Kong An came in to report, Jia Cong said impatiently, "Let Qingwen go and tell her, just say that I won't be free right now. If anything happens to Miss Xue, I'll tell you the same thing as Madam. If you can help Madam, she will figure it out." Please help, and please Miss Xue, for the sake of relatives, please don’t be polite."

Qingwen understood Jia Cong's words standing outside the door. Kong An came out, repeated Jia Cong's words word for word, and closed the door.

Qingwen breathed a sigh of relief. She had been by the Marquis's side for so many years, and she was only able to serve him in the bath. She didn't even get a wife, so how could she let this precious girl go first if she could?

Qingwen had a bad temper and couldn't take anything to heart. When she went to Ningxi Hall, she walked in a hurry. Because it was already dark, when she was at the corner of the corridor, she almost bumped into someone.

When She Yue saw her, she couldn't help but cursed, "Who is chasing you from behind? You are so anxious!"

Qingwen was full of things to say. When she saw She Yue, a good sister, she didn't bother to send a message. She pulled She Yue to the corner of the courtyard and said to She Yue, "I'm telling you, Xue Yue was there just now. The girl came to see the Marquis again. When I looked at it, I actually wanted to ignore the Madam and go talk to the Marquis myself. The Madam asked me to invite the Marquis, but who knew that the Marquis would not have time to talk. What did Miss Xue have to say? It’s the same as Madam said.”

After saying that, Qingwen laughed.

When She Yue heard this, she was quite surprised. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, threw the handkerchief on Qingwen's face, and said, "Why are you taking care of yourself? Why don't you go and do your errands! I just When we came out, Miss Xue was waiting anxiously, please be careful, Madam asked if you were right!"

Qingwen left with a smile. Sheyue looked at her back and shook her head helplessly.

She went to the kitchen first and served a bowl of almond, tremella and peanut dew that Daiyu had ordered to cook for Jia Cong. She also put a few slices of flower cake on a plate. When she came to Jia Cong's small study, she saw that Kong An was there. At the door, he asked, "Madam asked me to bring snacks and tea for Mr. Marquis."

Kong An opened the door and let She Yue in.

Jia Cong was studying hard when he heard the movement and saw that it was the Musk Moon.

While putting food, tea and drinks on the table, she said, "Madam asked me to bring them to Mr. Hou. She also said that Mr. Hou shouldn't be too tired from studying. Madam has to talk to Miss Bao now and is not allowed to supervise Mr. Hou." , let the Marquis sit for half an hour, then get up and move around."

Jia Cong felt a little helpless and said with a smile, "I know."

After saying that, he was about to stand up. When he moved, he felt his shoulders were sore and uncomfortable. Jia Cong raised his hands and rubbed them. She Yue saw this and was a little eager to try, "Master Marquis, do you want me to rub it for you?"

"Do you know?"

"When I was in the old lady's house, I learned how to use it with the nuns. I won't know until I rub it whether it's good or not."

Jia Cong agreed. Unexpectedly, She Yue actually had two hands, and the acupuncture points were picked just right, with moderate weight. In addition, his generous and steady temperament, and his measured priorities gave Jia Cong an excellent experience.

When the strength gradually weakened, a stick of incense had passed. A girl's hand strength was limited. Jia Cong was worried that she would use too much force and hurt her hand, so he raised his hand to support her on his shoulder. He patted the back of his hand gently and said, "I'm much better now, so let's leave it like this for now!"

She Yue's hand paused, and Jia Cong gently held her hand and pulled her over. She Yue blushed with embarrassment, lowered her head, and let her do whatever she wanted. When Jia Cong held her in his arms, Hugging her on his lap, She Yue was trembling with shock and buried her face on Jia Cong's shoulder.

Jia Cong's hands were on her body, and She Yue passed by them. Her legs were pressed together, and her delicate body trembled. When they were separated, a faint smell of sea water came out.

"When Madam ordered you to bring food, did you say anything?" Jia Cong asked.

She Yue didn't know why, and said shyly, "Madam... madam... ordered me to stay here and obey the Marquis's orders."

"In that case, how about you stay here and listen to my instructions?"

Jia Cong said and guided his hand, She Yue was a little panicked, but when things came to a close, she also thought that she had never thought about her future, and wanted to stay with the Marquis to serve, and she bit her lip. , calm down.

It was summer, and there was an ice basin in the room, but it was still hot and stuffy. After a while, Jia Cong had big beads of sweat on his forehead. He lay half-ly on the official hat chair, stretched out, and His hand caressed She Yue's thin shoulder, from top to bottom, and then around to his chest.

Here, in Ningxi Hall, Qingwen was parroting Jia Cong's words. Baochai was gently shaking her fan. Although she kept moving, the blood on her face had faded and turned pale. She couldn't believe it. , Jia Cong actually said such heartless words.

"My brother said today that he went to an unknown place with a man named Liu Xianglian, and he still hasn't come back at such a late hour. We didn't know Liu Xianglian either, so we asked the boy who went out with my brother and found out. This person named Liu Xianglian is someone the Marquis knows. He just came here and wanted to ask about this person’s details so that he can get my brother back."

Baochai explained to Daiyu.

When Daiyu heard this, she realized that she was asking about this matter. Why didn't she tell her earlier? She smiled and said, "It turned out to be about Uncle Xue. No wonder Sister Bao is anxious. Qingwen, you go ask Mr. Hou again. This is where Liu Xianglian goes.”

Baochai no longer wanted to stay here, but if she left rashly, she would have no chance to come back in the future. She could only endure the humiliation and bear the burden, and thanked Daiyu, "Thank you so much, Sister Lin!"

Qingwen came to Jia Cong's inner study again and saw Kong An guarding the door of the courtyard. She couldn't help but be curious, "Why are you guarding here, where is the Marquis?"

She glanced inside and saw that the lights inside were as bright as ever. She couldn't help but feel a little doubt in her heart and asked, "Who is inside?" Qingwen couldn't help but feel itchy with hatred, wondering who the bastard was. , taking advantage of this moment to seduce the Marquis. If he wanted to let her know, she would definitely tear off the hoof.

Kong An didn't say anything, and Qingwen was about to rush in, but Kong An stopped her and said, "Miss Qingwen, please wait a moment."

After a while, Jia Cong's humming sound came from inside. Qingwen blushed with shame when she heard the sound. She took advantage of Kong An's momentary absence and rushed inside.

When she arrived at the door of the study, Qingwen didn't dare, she stopped her steps, and her hand that she extended forward stopped in mid-air.

"Come in!"

When Jia Cong's voice came out, Qingwen bit her lip, her eyes were red with grievance. She passed the message back and forth, but in the end, this opportunity was taken by someone else. How could she not be angry?

It's not like Madam doesn't allow her to serve the Marquis.

The door was pushed open, and she saw She Yue and Jia Cong adjusting their robes. Next to them was a handkerchief. She Yue raised her eyes and saw Qingwen, whose hands and feet were obviously a little flustered. Jia Cong picked up a cup of tea and handed it to She Yue. , "Rinse your mouth!"

Under the candlelight, She Yue's cheeks were as red as the clouds in the autumn evening, making her not-so-outstanding face look very radiant.

At this moment, Qingwen's mood was so complicated that it was difficult to explain clearly. Jia Cong's expression was somewhat relaxed after he was satisfied. He glanced at her and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qingwen took a deep look at She Yue, calmed down, and said, "My wife ordered me to ask the Marquis. The uncle of Miss Bao's family said that he left with a man named Liu Xianglian. Miss Bao said that this man is Hou." I know him, and I would like to ask the Marquis if he knows his whereabouts?"

She Yue adjusted Jia Cong's belt and stood up. Jia Cong lifted her chin, pressed her lips lightly with his thumb, and smiled meaningfully. She Yue turned away in shame.

Jia Cong then let go of her and walked towards the door, saying to Qingwen, "I'll go take a look!"

Qingwen took a step aside and watched Jia Cong leave without even looking at her. She felt very aggrieved. She took three steps at a time and asked She Yue, "Have you done anything good?" ?Don’t think I don’t know!”

She Yue didn't care about it. At this time, she felt sweet in her heart and said, "It's just the master's order. We have been slaves for generations, so we can do whatever is asked."

When Qingwen heard this, she seemed to be showing off to herself. She was not angry at all, but she was also aggrieved. "Humph, it was clearly something you did secretly. How could you blame me for it? You are the same." I know how to choose the right moment, but I don’t know what will happen if Madam finds out?”

She Yue didn't say anything. She put the handkerchief into the copper basin, picked it up, walked around Qingwen and walked out, leaving Qingwen alone in the study.

Now, even She Yue has run ahead of him. If Zicuckoo is because of his closeness to his wife, what about Musk Yue?She Yue has always been indifferent to mountains and water, which made Qingwen think that she had no ambition and did not take it to heart.

She didn't know what the problem was. Among so many maids, why didn't Qingwen know her own advantages?When she first came to Jia Cong's side, Jia Cong was still struggling to survive in Jiao Gada in the North Courtyard. Qingwen never thought about leaving Jia Cong to climb the branches. Now that she has served Jia Cong personally, she doesn't want to anymore. .

But it was true that she did not please the Marquis. When she was in despair, Huaping came over, glanced at her and said, "What's going on?"

Qingwen raised her head and walked out without paying attention.

Since the Marquis doesn't like her, she doesn't have to go forward to get along with him, and the Marquis can't drive her away anyway. She always has to give her an aunt.

Here, Baochai saw Jia Cong coming in and hurriedly got up and greeted him with Daiyu.

Jia Cong took Daiyu's hand and nodded towards Baochai. Without waiting for Baochai to speak, he said, "When I heard about brother Ling, I didn't expect that brother Ling would go after Liu Xianglian. I am also the first one today." This is the first time I met Liu Xianglian. If my brother hadn’t introduced her, I wouldn’t have known her.”

After hearing this, Baochai felt as if someone had poured cold water on him again in the winter, and said with some reluctance, "I don't know who Liu Xianglian is, but my brother just went with him without even a follower." I don’t know if anything will happen?”

Jia Congxin said that it would be abnormal if nothing happened. Liu Xianglian took him away with the intention of causing something to happen to him, so it was hard for him to say this.

Daiyu handed a cup of tea to Jia Cong, and Jia Cong took a sip. He understood Baochai's thoughts clearly. In the original work, there were Lengxiang Pills, Golden Locks, and Miss Baochai, pointing at them everywhere. Second Grandma Bao's position meant that he was not in a bad position, so he said, "I heard that Second Brother Bao and Liu Xianglian are close friends. Miss Xue might as well ask Second Brother Bao."

Baochai heard that the rejection was so obvious that she couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hou, for disturbing Mr. Hou and Sister Lin."

Daiyu had already walked over and sent Baochai out.

After returning, it was already late. After the couple took a bath, they lay on the bed. Jia Cong held them in his arms and asked, "Why did you arrange for She Yue to come here again today?"

"I see that you are busy these days, and you are busy with things in the court. Zijuan has to serve here, but you have always disliked Qingwen, so I had to let Sheyue pass." Daiyu changed in his arms. She got into a comfortable position and asked, "How about serving Brother Cong today?"

Jia Cong was not used to discussing bed matters with others at first, but was later led by Daiyu. He also felt that in the eyes of the wife of the wife, the concubines were just a tool to serve the male master, so he cooperated. He said, "It's still pretty good."

Daiyu asked curiously, "I saw that Qingwen is the best among the maids, and she looks very good. I thought she would be the most popular with brother Cong. How come, when has she ever offended you?"

Jia Cong said, "Remember when we went south together?"

Daiyu suddenly remembered it. Unexpectedly, it was because of what happened back then. How many years had passed. She couldn't help but said with a smile, "Back then, when I followed you south, brother Cong, at that time, in the eyes of outsiders, I Just like a burden to you, it's no wonder she said some harsh and mean words. I've forgotten about it a long time ago. Besides, she was not very young at that time and she will always serve Brother Cong in the future."

Jia Cong said, "Her temperament still needs to be tempered. I have mentioned it to her two or three times. If she doesn't change it, I may not necessarily keep her here. In the future, she will inevitably be Aunt Zhao again. If you want to be strong, it will disturb the whole family, which is not beautiful."

Daiyu leaned on Jia Cong and laughed, then tapped the tip of Jia Cong's nose, "What will happen if the third sister listens to what brother Cong said?"

Jia Cong smiled and said nothing. He saw Daiyu's pretty eyes shining with open eyes, and a little bit of coquettishness. Under his palm, the warm skin was as delicate as fat. He couldn't help but feel his heart move. He turned over with Daiyu in his arms and cherry blossoms towards her. His lips covered her.
