Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 370 Three Women Fight for Husband

Early the next morning, Jia Cong took people to the pier to meet Daiyu and his party.

A large ship carrying the flags of Jinyiwei and Yanyuan Yamen slowly docked.

As soon as the boatman set up the springboard, Jia Cong rushed up and went straight to Daiyu's bedroom.

I saw Daiyu wearing a white background with a bright red collar and a jacquard Shu brocade jacket, a white cross-collar silk silk jacket, and a bright red pleated skirt with flowers. She was sitting leisurely by the window reading a book like a quietly blooming orchid in the empty valley.

When he saw this scene, even though he was in a noisy and busy dock, Jia Cong felt relaxed and happy, so he gently walked to her side and sat down.

When Daiyu saw him coming, she pursed her lips and smiled, put down her book and said, "Why do you know how to be polite today?"

Jia Cong said: "As soon as I see Wu'er, all my distracting thoughts disappear and my worries are gone."

Daiyu covered her mouth with a smile and said, "I think you have something going on in your heart."

"How can this happen? I don't have to accuse a good person unjustly." Jia Cong hurriedly shouted for injustice, then changed the subject: "Has uncle gone to Beijing? How are you these days?"

Daiyu said: "Dad has come to Beijing. I don't have a bad guy like you bothering me these days, so I feel clean."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Do you miss me?"

"Bah, you're being sentimental. I miss Bao Yatou and Feng Yatou, but I don't have time to miss you," Daiyu said.

"I miss my sister. One day without seeing her is like three autumns. How many days have I not seen her? Is it seven or eight days? How many autumns will it take?" Jia Cong said.

Daiyu hummed softly: "Wouldn't it be easier for you to do bad things if I'm not around?"

"What a bad thing, I don't understand this." Jia Cong smiled dryly.

Daiyu tapped his forehead with her finger and spat: "Seeing that you don't mean what you say, you still want to bluff me."

Jia Cong hurriedly grabbed her delicate hand and said in a feint of anger: "You are such a scoundrel, how dare you wrongly accuse a good person, my brother will punish you."

"What's the punishment for me?" Daiyu said with a smile.

"You'll know soon." Jia Cong stood up and picked her up.

"No, let others see it." Daiyu said angrily.

"Don't worry, Hui Zijuan is very sensible."

"Huh? When did you give Zijuan this nickname? It's quite appropriate." Daiyu smiled.

"It was taken by someone else."

"Who?"

"Bastard, how can you break the casserole and ask the truth? Get down here." Jia Cong lightly slapped Daiyu's pink buttocks.

Daiyu spat, her pretty face turned red, she covered her buttocks and shrank back into the bed.

"Still want to run away." Jia Cong smiled, stretched his arms lightly, and pulled her back.

The two of them quarreled on the bed for a long time, until Dai Yuchai's temples were messed up and her shirt was half untied. Then they stopped, and Jia Cong finally brought up the topic of Yali Shanda.

"Okay, okay, don't make trouble! I have to dress up again, and it's all your fault." Daiyu said angrily.

"Who told you to spit out blood? How can your brother's innocence be insulted?" Jia Cong laughed and said in a loud voice: "Zicuckoo come in and help your girl dress up."

Zijuan came in carrying the washbasin.

"You're not going out yet." Daiyu glanced at him.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "I haven't seen you dressing up yet."

"Don't be ashamed." Daiyu spat secretly, holding back her shame and pretending that he was not there.

Jia Cong watched quietly as Zijuan combed Daiyu's hair again, inserted an elegant Dongzhu jade hairpin, and arranged her clothes carefully. A touch of tenderness suddenly surged in his heart. With a wife like this, what could a husband do? beg.

"Let's go." Daiyu chuckled as she saw Jia Cong staring at her blankly in the mirror, with infinite tenderness in his eyes and sweetness in his heart.

Jia Cong smiled and nodded, then took Daiyu and Shi Shiran back home.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, they saw Jin Cai coming up to report.

"Third Master, Miss Bao came as soon as you left home. Just now, Grandma Zhen and Miss Third also came. Mistress Lian, Miss Bao and Aunt Qing are talking with you."

Oops! Jia Cong felt a chill in his heart, why is Zhen Yuan here? A comet is hitting the earth, something big is going to happen!

Jia Cong resisted the urge to turn his horse and run away, sent away Jincai, and took Daiyu into the palace. Baochai knew about Zhen Yuan, so he still wanted to say hello to Daiyu first to avoid an ugly death.

He hurriedly took Daiyu out of the sedan in person, and said with a smile: "Zhen'er, two female guests from the Zhen family are here. You can accompany me later."

"Oh? Who is it?" Daiyu said.

Jia Cong said.

Daiyu saw the strange expression in his eyes and sneered: "It turns out to be 'Rouge Tears'. What can I tell you, if you were a mortal, you wouldn't be so careful."

Jia Cong was heartbroken. Rather than letting Daiyu know about it in the future, it would be better for him to take the initiative to explain.

Then he told the Zhen family about their intention to recruit a son-in-law. Seeing Daiyu's face as cold as frost, she hurriedly said: "Brother swears to heaven that I have no such intention. I have already shied away. I just don't want to hurt the face of the third girl. I'm so mean." Don’t let anything slip.”

Seeing that he didn't seem to be hypocritical, Daiyu's expression softened slightly and she said: "I only recognize Bao girl, you are not allowed to do anything wrong."

"That's natural. Am I that kind of person?" Jia Cong asked hurriedly.

snort! Daiyu snorted arrogantly, indicating that you know the truth.

In the inner hall, Sister Feng and others were chatting with them.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Just because when Zhen Yuan and Baochai met, they knew that the other party was a strong enemy, so they rarely used words to show off their wits and test the enemy's situation.

Baochai is wise and dignified, knows herself and the enemy, and deals with the situation gently while talking and laughing, without showing any arrogance.

When Zhen Yuan saw that she looked like a lady of the Jia family, she was secretly angry and scolded Jia Cong seventeen or eighteen times.

Fortunately, Chu Chan and Baochai were familiar with each other, and they always interrupted to enliven the atmosphere, thus maintaining the happy situation between the guests and the host.

Sister Feng watched with great interest. The two girls from the rich family were engaged in a drama of fighting for their husbands. It was really exciting.

No, it's the third girl soon. Thinking of this, a gloating smile couldn't help but appear on her lips.

Little pervert, let’s see how you deal with it this time.

Zhen Yuan laughed and said, "After several years of not seeing each other, Sister Bao has become more and more beautiful and elegant, making people sincerely respect her. It's strange that Brother Cong wanted to write for my sister, 'The fallen flower is independent, and the light and swift swallows fly together' and other immortal lines."

Baochai smiled slightly, but before he could speak, he suddenly heard a clear and sweet voice coming from the door.

"I'm late. The third girl's reputation for 'hating the water in life' is not inferior to that of Sister Bao." Daiyu walked in with a smile.

Jia Cong followed her in with a dry smile as if he were on the execution ground.

Zhen Yuan looked Daiyu up and down, sighing secretly that there was such a pure and refined beauty in the world, so he smiled and said, "Isn't it Miss Lin who 'gold, wind, jade and dew can defeat countless people in the world when they meet'?"

Baochai smiled and said: "Third Miss has good eyesight. Come on, Qi'er, this is the third eldest grandma of the Zhen Mansion, Third Miss."

"Brother Cong, you're back." Chu Chan greeted him with a smile, her bright eyes revealing an ambiguity that only the two of them could understand.

Jia Cong hurriedly raised his hands and returned the greeting: "I have met my eldest sister-in-law and my third sister. I went to pick up Sister Lin and did not come far to greet her. I hope you will forgive me."

"They are all members of our own family, so why are you so polite?" Chu Chan said with a smile.

"That's what my sister-in-law said." Jia Cong felt a few sharp glances coming from his back. He hurriedly exchanged a few words and sat back down.

No one in the hall spoke for a while, they all looked at Jia Cong with a half-smile.

Jia Cong suddenly felt like he was on pins and needles. He was the master, so he couldn't help but speak. He hesitated and said in a panic, "The third sister came at the right time. Sister Bao and Qi'er are both very good at poetry, so you can compare notes."

Zhen Yuan smiled lightly and said, "I was just discussing your masterpiece, brother Cong."

Sister Feng laughed and shook her head. She really couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I don't understand how wet and dry you guys are. You guys are chatting while I go arrange the banquet. Let's have fun at noon." After that, she left. .

Here, Daiyu also admired Zhen Yuan in her heart for her pretty character, dignified demeanor, and the air of everyone. What is especially rare is that her elegance and gentleness are slightly heroic, which is somewhat similar to Tan Chun.

Jia Cong was confused and didn't know what to say. He wanted to slap himself in the mouth. He was so embarrassed that he almost had cancer when he sat there. He looked at Chu Chan for help.

He guessed that Baochai and Daiyu might not feel comfortable now, and Chu Chan was more reliable.

Chu Chan smiled and came to the rescue: "Brother Cong, you came over the house the day before yesterday and brought many gifts. The old lady and the madam both said that they were unhappy. Since they are family friends, you should not be asked to spend so much money.

Therefore, you asked me to come and pay homage with the three girls today. Will it delay your official duties? "

Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's just a small gift, what's it worth? The old lady and the others are too polite.

The eldest sister-in-law and third sister are gone, so Cong still has to take care of official business. Why didn't you bring Baoyu over and let Sister-in-law Feng and Sister Bao see it? It's almost the same model as our Baoyu. "

Chu Chan smiled and said: "He wanted to come, but when he came, the master detained him at home to study. He was asked to memorize the Analects of Confucius before he was allowed to go out."

Everyone couldn't help laughing. Hearing this, the two gems were about the same.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Fortunately, no one forced me to read. Otherwise, based on my memory, I might not be able to memorize The Analects of Confucius in my lifetime."

Daiyu thought of the way he recited military strategies and rolled her eyes at him with a smile: "You are quite complacent."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Baoyu has a saying that is right. God has given you girls all the elves and beauty. We are men with dirty eyebrows, so our qualifications are naturally inferior."

Zhen Yuan asked curiously: "Brother Cong also knows what Baoyu said?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "What Jia Baoyu said, I said that the two pieces of jade, one real and one fake, are all the same."

Everyone laughed.

With the help of Baoyu's jokes, the atmosphere became much more harmonious. Jia Cong finally regained his composure and glanced around, watching his words to prepare for danger.

Zhen Yuan smiled and said: "Baoyu's nonsense can be taken seriously. As a well-known genius in the world, Brother Cong, if he is considered to have low qualifications, then we will be even worse."

"I've received awards and awards, but I don't deserve them." Jia Cong laughed dryly and said, "Who gave me this fucking reputation?"

"Are there any new poems?" Zhen Yuan asked.

“With so many things going on these days, there is no poetry.”

Jia Cong waved his hands hurriedly, and then he had an idea and said, "If the third sister is interested in poetry, she might as well discuss it with Sister Bao and Qi'er." If the trouble could be diverted to the east, he would take the opportunity to run away.

Zhen Yuan's face turned red, and she shook her head and said, "How can I dare to write poetry in front of a great talent like you and two talented women?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "Third miss, don't worry, he still owes Sister Bao a good poem that will shock the heavens and weep the ghosts and gods."

"Zi'er, what are you talking about? It's making people laugh." Baochai blushed and spat hurriedly.

What a handsome man, he actually borrowed a sword to kill people. Do you want to use my name to make Zhen Yuan retreat when he sees difficulties?

Zhen Yuan hurriedly asked: "Isn't it better than 'The bright moon was there at that time, and it returned with colorful clouds'?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "I think it's better, otherwise how can Brother Cong be able to do it."

Zhen Yuan glanced at Jia Cong and Baochai, feeling sad in her heart, and said with a forced smile: "That is really worthy of the words 'shaking the heaven and earth and weeping ghosts and gods'. Only Sister Bao is worthy of such a poem."

Jia Cong glared at Daiyu. He hasn't made you docile yet, has he? I managed to get back to the situation, but you ruined it for me again.

Daiyu didn't show any signs of weakness and glanced back at him, "You have caused a romantic debt, why are you blaming me?"
