Brother Rong of Red Mansion

Chapter 46 Snow in June
  "What's this? It's just a poem. I'll write you a hundred trips to the capital tomorrow." Jia Rong pretended to be anxious and painted a cake for the palace flowers.

Man's mouth, liar ghost!
  Although Wang Gonghua is well aware of this truth, she likes men to coax her with sweet words. So he asked Jia Rong to pat his chest and make a promise. Then he gave Jia Rong an angry look and took the incense in his hand, brought it to his mouth, and blew it in front of the guest's nose very skillfully.

I blew a tube of incense and waited for a few seconds.

Wang Gonghua glanced at her, and Jia Rong skillfully opened the window. A gust of cold air came in, and Wang Gonghua couldn't help but shiver.

"The wind of the autumn night, the bone-scratching knife, really chilled me. What a thief monkey, restless in the middle of the night and insisting on being a monster. This night wind is the most harmful to people. If you catch the wind cold, your sister's life will be It’s all going to be ruined…”

The palace's beautiful eyebrows were raised, pretending to be angry.

Jia Rong knew what she was thinking, so she smiled coquettishly, "My good sister, I know that I must have resentment in my heart because I haven't been with you these past few days. But why have I never missed you? I know that there are a new group of top-level children in Dongshi. Nanzhu, I will give you fifty taels of silver. Tomorrow you will send someone to pick out a good pearl and hairpin. Do you agree?"

"You have a conscience!" Wang Gonghua turned her anger into a smile and asked, "Do you want to take a shower?"

"No, that's it."

While talking, Jia Rong kicked the guest to the foot of the bed, occupied the magpie's nest by himself, and took up most of the bed. Then he hugged the plump palace flower, lowered his head and lay in front of her chest, sucking the food carefully.

After a while, the bed bell swayed, and gasps and coquettish cries came from inside.

After hearing this, Lian'er in the blue sarong turned over angrily, muttered a few words, and continued to sleep.

After being distracted for half an hour, before it was dark, Jia Rong climbed up from Wang Gonghua, put on her clothes, and secretly returned to Gu Pan'er's room.

Gu Pan'er had already woken up and was waiting for Jia Rong to come back.

When Jia Rong came back secretly, Gu Pan'er deliberately lost his temper, made fun of him, and teased him with jealousy. In the end, he earned Jia Rong a sum of "excuse money", and then he stopped and fell asleep again with his arms around him.

  The next day, early in the morning.

The room of the famous prostitute "Qin Ruolan" in Taiping Tower.

Jia Zhen's medicine dissipated and she woke up in a daze. She felt light-headed, her nose was blocked, and her eyelids were so heavy that she could hardly open them. What frightened him even more was that there was a fire burning inside, and the palms and soles of his feet were also very hot.

"Isn't it because the cool breeze is filling your stomach and you are catching a cold?"

Jia Zhen was shocked.

But the terrible thing is that when Jia Rong left last night, he added a piece of aphrodisiac incense to the incense burner. At this moment, the air in the hall was filled with a fragrant aroma. Jia Zhen breathed in this aroma and felt like she was standing tall in the sky since she woke up.

Jia Zhen's face was sullen, and her mind wandered for a while. Finally, she couldn't resist her natural instinct, picked up Qin Ruolan and the girl, and "scored twice" again.

******
  Jia Rong had something hidden in her heart and couldn't sleep at all.

At Chen Pai time, Jia Rong woke up and started to put on his clothes again.

"Master, why did you wake up so early today? Let's sleep a little longer." In the warm tent, Gu Pan'er yawned and put a white jade arm around Jia Rong's neck.

"No, it's not good to bump into the master in broad daylight." Jia Rong shook his head.

"Okay then." Gu Pan'er nodded and sat up despite her sleepiness. She put on her clothes first and then called the girl to come in and help Jia Rong get dressed.

Jia Rong was fully dressed and sat for a while, waiting for Gu Pan'er to finish dressing up.

Then, Gu Paner saw Jia Rong out.

"Gu Pan'er is seeing off the guests."

Gu Pan'er leaned against the door, said Wanfu salute to Jia Rong, and then shouted loudly.

The turtle slave in the corridor ran over quickly after hearing the sound, with a flattering smile on his face: "Thank you, sir."

After saying that, he turned over Gu Pan'er's flower card and personally escorted Jia Rong downstairs.

When he walked outside the "Qin Ruolan" pavilion, Jia Rong paused and couldn't help but twitching his eyebrows when he heard the soft and charming voice coming from inside.

"Isn't it too much?" Jia Rong pondered, and suddenly felt that last night's action might be due to nervousness and excitement, and he was afraid that Jia Zhen would not be killed, so he used all kinds of methods.

But he forgot that he still had a marriage contract with him.

At least, in the remaining few days, Jia Zhen must not die suddenly!

"The first time you do something bad, it's because you didn't think carefully enough..."

Jia Rong sighed secretly and summed up his experience.

  "Hey, bro, why did you get up so early?"

Jia Rong walked down the stairs to the attic, and saw Lin Siniang, who was in full bloom, walking over, waving a round fan.

"Mom's dress is so gorgeous."

Jia Rong smiled and held her hands in front of her, praising Lin Siniang's makeup.

Because it snowed in the evening, Lin Siniang changed into autumn and winter clothes this morning, which was a completely different style from last night.

But I saw: wearing a Zhaojun gauze on his head, a sable lying rabbit around his neck, wearing a smock and coat to keep out the cold, faintly revealing a small purple caltrop coat and a moon-white stand-up collar shirt.

Under the emerald blue satin-covered gold skirt, two bright red and gold-white damask flat-soled cloud-toe shoes were faintly exposed.

She is shaking a round fan in her hand, and her whole body is gorgeously decorated, but it also reveals the artistic conception of "clouds dwelling in pines and snow".

If the scholar-bureaucrats see it, they will definitely admire it.

"It snowed last night. My clothes are thin, but I have to be careful to avoid catching the wind and getting cold."

Lin Siniang held a round fan in her hand. She covered her mouth and smiled when she heard the words, but she gently reminded Jia Rong.

"Thank you mom for reminding me."

Jia Rong smiled and nodded, and then talked to Lin Siniang about last night's expenses.

"I was the host last night. As a rule, I should pay the money, but the master allowed me to use the money from the official, so the housekeeper Lai in my house will send someone to contact my mother."

Lin Siniang nodded with a smile, but said politely: "It's just a little money, it doesn't matter what it's worth."

"In addition..." Jia Rong approached Lin Siniang and whispered: "Last night, I made a secret account at Wang Gonghua's place, but I couldn't let others know."

Lin Siniang covered her mouth and chuckled: "Okay, I promise not to let anyone else know."

After giving this order, feeling that the "hidden danger" was eliminated, Jia Rong nodded with a smile and walked out of the building slowly.

When I came out of the Taiping Tower, I felt a blast of air-conditioning. The sky was gray and there was a heavy snowfall.

Jia Rong stood under the Taiping Tower, looking at the gray sky, and recited a song called "Song of White Snow to Send Magistrate Wu Back to the Capital" by Cen Shen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.

"The north wind blows and the white grass on the ground folds, and the sky is full of snow in August. Suddenly, like a spring breeze coming overnight, thousands of pear trees bloom."

Jia Rong stood in front of the Taiping Tower for a while, with a thick layer of snow piled on his head and shoulders.

The snow is so heavy that the qiong flowers dance on the front eaves, and the flying qiong scatters powder all over the sky. In an instant, the buildings look like jade, and the mountains and rivers are connected with silver.

The cold wind whimpered and the scenery was desolate.

"Uncle, it's snowing. Get in the car and warm yourself up. Don't get cold."

At this moment, Sun Rui ran over quickly, put a large orangutan felt cloak on Jia Rong, put it on carefully, and asked him to get in the car.

But when Ning Mansion saw it was snowing, he sent carriages and horses to prepare it early.
