Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Jia Cong quickly ran to Chu Chan to complain.

After hearing this, Chu Chan sneered: "Good husband, aren't you very powerful in dealing with women? Why are you so helpless when you get to the third girl?"

Jia Cong hugged her plump body and said with a wry smile: "Sister, I don't know something. She was a little resentful towards me in the first place. Now that I forcefully intervene in your affairs, she must have misunderstood.

Thinking that I was jealous and audacious, I forcibly separated you and Zhen Ji and occupied you. Who have I become in her heart now? "

Chu Chan said: "Then sister will tell her personally later that you are not forcing me, but I must rely on you, how about that?"

"She may not believe it. She might even say that I forced you to say this. Isn't that worse?" Jia Cong shook his head.

Chu Chan pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't know what kind of temper the third girl is? I will make her believe it."

Jia Cong said happily: "Good sister, how can I thank you?"

Chu Chan bit her lower lip lightly and raised her eyebrows slightly: "What do you think, good brother?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's still early for dinner, why not eat sister first." As he said this, his hands began to move.

Chu Chan groaned softly, giggled, and her delicate jade hands deftly untied his clothes.

When Jia Cong went back with a happy face, he didn't know what Baochai and the others said. Zhen Yuan's expression became gentler, but his eyes were still cold.

After finally finishing the meal, Zhen Yuan got up and wanted to say goodbye.

Everyone is miserable and can’t stay.

Jia Cong hurriedly stopped her and said bravely: "Third sister, please stay, I have a few more words to say."

"Oh? Brother Shi, if you have any advice, I'm all ears." Zhen Yuan said.

"Um...well...actually it's not me who has anything to say, it's Sister Chan who has something to say to you." Jia Cong leaned into her ear and whispered.

Zhen Yuan glared at him, took a step back, thought for a moment, and said, "I was just trying to talk to her."

Jia Cong said hurriedly: "Please."

After saying that, he led her to the garden behind, where Chu Chan was already waiting in a pavilion.

"You guys chat, I'll wait over there. If you have any orders, just wave to me." Jia Cong didn't dare to look at Zhen Yuan, so he ran to sit under a big tree in the distance and waited.

Seeing his well-behaved and cautious look, Zhen Yuan couldn't help but smile, then she pursed her lips and glared at him fiercely.

"Third girl, come and sit down." Chu Chan smiled and stood up to greet her.

Zhen Yuan nodded, sat down across from her, and said, "Should I call you sister-in-law, or Miss Chu."

Chu Chan said: "Sister-in-law is a thing of the past. If you still miss our past friendship, just call me sister."

Zhen Yuan was silent for a moment and said: "Sister Chan, my eldest brother has always treated you with great respect and never dared to be frivolous. He also obeyed your instructions on all matters in the family. Why did you abandon him and make him the laughing stock of Jinling?"

Chu Chan sighed and said: "Third girl, you are still young, how do you know about the couple's affairs? In the eyes of outsiders, Zhen Ji treats me really well. If I hadn't met Cong'er, I would have been like this in my life..."

Zhen Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "It is indeed this lustful and shameless bastard!"

Chu Chan smiled in surprise and said, "Why are you scolding Cong'er, the third girl?"

"He relies on his power, forgets his loyalty when he sees sex, and breaks up couples. Shouldn't he be scolded?" Zhen Yuan said angrily.

Chu Chan shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with him, it's my own wish. He didn't agree at first, but he agreed after I begged hard."

Zhen Yuan sneered and said, "Sister Chan doesn't have to cover up for him. I can still tell the difference between good and evil, loyalty and treachery."

Chu Chan said: "You are just a little girl, how can you understand the things of adults? Do you only think that I am an immortal descended from heaven? As soon as Cong'er saw me, she became so lustful and confused that she did such a thing?

If he is said to be lustful, are there no beauties in Jinling? Not to mention anything else, which one of Miss Bao, Miss Lin and Miss Qing in his family is not a great beauty?

To say that he likes the fragrance of wild flowers, the first of the Eight Great Tours of the Qinhuai River, the best thin horses in Yangzhou Prefecture, all of them are like fishes and geese, and his appearance is better than that of Xishi. With his reputation as the most romantic and talented man in the world, combined with his family background, power, and appearance, isn't it easy to get it?

Don't talk about them, even you, the third girl, have already made a secret promise to him? He can't get any number of beauties he wants, so why should he offend the Zhen family for a ruined flower like me? "

"Oops! Sister Chan, what did you say? When did I tell him...that? You are really talking nonsense. The bad guy is innocent." Zhen Yuan broke through in an instant and said hurriedly.

Chu Chan smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I was blind and misread the thoughts of the third girl. Does what I just said make sense?"

Zhen Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "What Sister Chan said is reasonable, but you are too arrogant to belittle yourself. Your sister's character is like nothing in a million. What does it have to do with a broken flower and a willow?"

Chu Chan shook her head and said with a smile: "After all, I am old and yellow, and I am not as good as you young girls."

"Sister, don't put yourself down and make me feel ashamed." Zhen Yuan said angrily, "Let's get down to business, why would that bastard interfere in your affairs?"

Chu Chan sighed: "Third girl, you also know that my sister and I have been strong-tempered since I was a child, but I couldn't disobey my parents' orders and married your brother.

If your brother is a person, I should serve him wholeheartedly, but he... can't cultivate himself or run the family internally, nor can he make achievements externally. To say that he is a family dog, he may be mean, but in short, he is not the kind of person I like. "

Zhen Yuan frowned slightly and said unfairly: "Young master from aristocratic family, he is pampered and pampered, and he will inevitably have some bad habits. Why is my sister so derogatory? Although the eldest brother is not much capable, among the nobles of Jinling family, he is not worse than anyone else. ?”

Chu Chan shook her head and said, "I used to think so too, but as the saying goes, comparing people to others will lead to death, and comparing goods to goods will lead to throwing away."

Zhen Yuan sneered and said: "Sister, are you talking about that bastard? If you say that my brother is not as good as him, I will admit it. If there is a better boy in the future, will my sister throw him away too?"

Chu Chan smiled and said: "Silly girl, I can leave decisively because your brother has never entered my heart. How can he be compared with 'him'?

Now I am completely satisfied with 'him'. Even if there is a better man in the world, how can I hold it in my heart? "

Zhen Yuan said angrily: "Is it possible that the relationship between my brother and you as husband and wife for several years is not as good as the relationship between you and that bastard for several years?"

Chu Chan nodded and said, "That's true. But there is one thing you said wrong. Your brother and I have been known as husband and wife for several years, but we have no real relationship as husband and wife. Without the reality of being husband and wife, how can we have the love of husband and wife?"

"How could there be no... husband and wife... reality?" Zhen Yuan was shocked and ashamed. It was difficult for her to speak up when it came to matters related to the boudoir. However, the matter was so important that she had to suppress her shyness and asked.

Chu Chan sighed and waved to Zhen Yuan to come over.

Zhen Yuan glanced at Jia Cong, bit her lip, stood up and sat next to her.

Chu Chan whispered in her ear: "To tell you the truth, your brother was lustful and lustful when he was young, and his body was already broken. Now he is no different from a eunuch.

Do you think that when he was 30 years old, he had many wives and concubines but no heirs? Is it bad luck? "

ah? ! Zhen Yuan was shocked and covered her mouth. She couldn't believe that her eldest brother was "wasted" at such a young age.

"Is this true?" Zhen Yuan stared at Chu Chan and whispered.

Chu Chan snorted softly and muttered: "If you don't believe it, go back and ask your brother's aunt, and you will know whether it is true or not."

Zhen Yuan blushed and spat: "How can I ask about such a thing?"

"It's not convenient for you to ask, it's okay to ask your girl to inquire for you. Anyway, none of the aunts and wet nurses at home know." Chu Chan said.

"Is it because of this that you... just... don't have any arms?" Zhen Yuan bit her lip and said.

Chu Chan chuckled and said, "Third girl, do you know what is the most painful thing for a woman?" "Having no queen?" Zhen Yuan thought for a while.

"wrong."

"Widowed?"

"wrong."

"what is that?"

"Being a widow without an heir." Chu Chan said calmly.

Zhen Yuan's heart felt cold, and she could hear determination and deep resentment in her words.

"To be honest, when I was your age, my sister often fantasized about how upright her future husband would be and how she would take care of her husband and raise her children, and be a good wife and mother.

However, fate has caused me to meet your brother, and my girlish love has come to naught. How can I be willing? "Chu Chan sneered.

"Sister..." Zhen Yuan has nothing to say. Her brother really doesn't live up to expectations. When it comes to etiquette, peace and separation are precisely part of the etiquette.

"Fortunately, I met Cong'er, and even more fortunately, he didn't dislike me, so my sister was able to escape from the sea of ​​suffering. Even if I can only live like this for three or two months, I would still be willing to die.

You may want to say that I have a sudden change of heart, or that I am a slut, but I will admit it. Just please don't misunderstand Cong'er, he is not the kind of person you think. "Chu Chan said calmly.

"No, no...how could I think so of my sister? I have always respected her character." Zhen Yuan said hurriedly, "Then the bastard really didn't force her?"

Chu Chan covered her mouth and smiled: "Silly girl, do you really think he is a poor boy who has never seen the world? What kind of Tang Monk meat is my sister that everyone wants to take a bite of?

He's not greedy for a beauty like you, so how can he covet his sister's beauty? I begged him for a long time, and he took pity on my situation, so he reluctantly agreed to stand up for me. "

Zhen Yuan said shyly: "Sister, don't make fun of me. I can't say it as well as you. Even if that bastard didn't force my sister, he must be coveting her personality, talent and appearance. If it's someone with an ugly appearance, do you think he would care?" .”

Chu Chan couldn't help it, she laughed and said: "Three girls, you know him very well. If he is a Taoist gentleman who is not close to women, my sister will cry a lot."

"Sister...you, why are you saying these things? Isn't it possible that those are the only things between men and women, so they can't talk to each other and become confidants?" Zhen Yuan said with a blushing face.

Chu Chan shook her head and chuckled, then leaned into Zhen Yuan's ear and whispered: "Silly girl, wait until you have a taste of this before you say this to me."

ah! When Zhen Yuan heard these sarcastic words, she could no longer hold on. She stood up suddenly, her face flushed with embarrassment, and said angrily: "I'm talking crazy again, I won't tell you anymore. I'm going, you can take care of yourself." After that, he left in a hurry. .

Chu Chan covered her mouth and smiled from behind, waving to Jia Cong by the way.

Jia Cong hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and said with a smile, "Have you finished talking to the third sister?"

Zhen Yuan saw him furious and stamped his feet: "Get out of the way, I'm going back."

"Third sister, do you understand my difficulties?" Jia Cong asked tentatively.

"Bah, what's the reason? Men are all the same. When they see someone good, they go to their own home and don't care about others." Zhen Yuan sneered.

Jia Cong was stunned and quickly looked at Chu Chan. When he saw her smiling and nodding, he felt a little relieved and said, "Sister, what you said is wrong. If Cong is this kind of person, the first one to pull is my sister." Anyway, there is no one around. Man, he's also got a lot of courage.

"You are shameless." Zhen Yuan was ashamed and annoyed. She spat at him and turned away. She felt bitter in her heart and hated Jia Cong for treating Chu Chan better than herself.

"As long as my sister doesn't misunderstand me, then scold me if you like," Jia Cong said.

"Sister Chan has just explained the matter and let it go. I'm going home. I wish you a safe journey," Zhen Yuan said.

"I'm sending my sister off," Jia Cong said.

The two of them were speechless all the way out.

Jia Cong saw that Zhen Yuan's expression was a little brighter, and the frost on her face had dissipated a lot. He rolled his eyes and deliberately hesitated: "Third sister, I..."

"What's the matter?" Zhen Yuan was indeed fooled and glanced at him.

"I'm sorry for you." Jia Cong sighed.

Zhen Yuan snorted coldly: "You also know."

"I will definitely repay you one day to make up for my mistakes." Jia Cong said.

"You owe me nothing, how can I be repaid by you? Never mention it again." Zhen Yuan felt sour in her heart that she almost shed tears. She knew in her heart that Jia Cong declined her politely.

Jia Cong was silent for a few breaths, then took out an envelope from his sleeve and said, "This is the poem I wrote for you."

Zhen Yuan's eyes turned red, she turned away and said, "You can keep it and give it away, I don't want it."

Jia Cong nodded silently, took back his sleeves and said, "That's fine. I just ask my sister to remember what I just said."

Zhen Yuan was furious. This heartless and short-lived bastard had promised to give away something, so how could he break his promise? If you persist a little longer, won't I just accept it reluctantly, you bastard!

While talking, Zhen Yuan returned to the inner hall and said goodbye to everyone.

Everyone saw her out, got into the carriage outside the ceremony gate, and watched her leave.

The curtain of the carriage had just been drawn down, Zhen Yuan could no longer hold on, tears rolled down her face, and she covered her face and sobbed.

The personal maid hurriedly comforted her softly and wiped away her tears.

"Girl, what's going on?"

Zhen Yuan shook his head and didn't answer.

The girl was very smart and said, "But Third Master Yin Cong?"

Zhen Yuan said bitterly: "Don't mention this heartless bastard again!"

The girl nodded hurriedly, smiled, took out a letter from her sleeve, and said: "Someone gave me one hundred taels of silver and asked me to pass this to the lady. The lady definitely didn't want to read it, so I tore it up."

"Huh?" Zhen Yuan quickly raised his head, grabbed it and said, "Who gave it to you?"

"That lady doesn't allow me to mention it, and I don't dare to say anything." The girl said in an eccentric manner.

"Bah, keep joking with me and watch your skin carefully."

Zhen Yuan glared at her, opened the envelope, unfolded the paper, and looked at it for a long time. When he looked up again, tears were already streaming down his face.

But I saw it written on the note:

Tang Duoling·Giving Sister

When I travel to the south of the Yangtze River again, my old friend's style is better than before, but I can't stop traveling. I am separated in a blink of an eye, and I feel as if I have lost him, so I give him this word as a gift. It's the first day of August.

Tingzhou is covered with reed leaves and has shallow streams in the cold sand zone. Three years later, he returned to Zhen Tower. The boat under the willow tree is still not stable, but it will last for a few days, and it's Mid-Autumn Festival again.

Swallows cut off the head of a river, has the old friend been there? The old country is filled with new worries. I wanted to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and carry wine with me, but it turned out that it was not the same as a young man traveling. (End of chapter)
