Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Therefore, when Miaoyu heard that it was her today, she felt a little relieved. If she had met someone else, she would not have the face to continue maintaining the image of a hermit.

Upon hearing this, Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief and pushed Chu Chan's shoulder, asking her to go with the flow.

Chu Chan glanced at him, smiled, walked to the pool near the door, and said with a smile: "To prevent the women and maids from washing and polluting the warm water, these pools are locked at night.

I just called this. It would be troublesome for you to call someone now. Why don't we soak together? We can talk and have fun. It's cheaper. Anyway, this pool is big and it won't be crowded."

"You!" Jia Cong was horrified when he heard Chu Chan "misunderstood" his meaning. It was too late to stop her. He was so panicked that he wanted to find a gap to get in.

When Miaoyu heard what was said, she could only say shyly, "I am sorry to bother you so much."

"You and I are like sisters, why are you being so polite?" Chu Chan said with a smile.

Miaoyu asked the two middle-aged nuns who were accompanying her to wait outside while she carried the small package in.

It was also her fault that she was not familiar with the maids in the mansion, otherwise, seeing Lingguan and Liu Wuer present, she would never have thought that Chu Chan was the only one here.

Lingguan and Liu Wu'er looked at each other, thinking that Chu Chan's invitation was instructed by Jia Cong, and they blushed and dared not speak.

My master is too absurd. He even spared no monks. No wonder. Which man wouldn't love Master Miaoyu? It's not wronged to give her to our master.

Yin said to the two nuns, "We will serve you here, you go and wait downstairs."

"Yes." The two nuns did not dare to argue with the young lady from the mansion, and hurriedly bowed and left.

When Jia Cong heard that Miaoyu was coming in, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Chu Chan "understandingly" stepped back quickly and stood in front of him.

"I'm going to be killed by you."

The situation was so restrictive that it was too late to escape from the pond, so Jia Cong had no choice but to pull Chu Chan to a place where there was no light, using her as a shield in front of him. He then hid himself under the water, with only his head sticking out. The pond was very large, so as long as Miaoyu didn't come close to see, she would not be able to notice.

I think with Miaoyu's aloof and self-righteous personality, she would not be too close to Chu Chan.

"Sister, please hang your clothes on the screen over there and come down to warm up. I have been reading some Buddhist scriptures these days, so it's a good opportunity for you to ask for advice." Chu Chan suddenly stood up and said with a smile.

Miaoyu's face flushed, looking slightly embarrassed, she saw countless water drops rolling down Chu Chan's white jade-like tender skin, two crimson beads on her snow-capped peaks, and a patch of fragrant grass by the stream, all in sight.

Although she was also a girl, she couldn't help but feel dizzy. In her panic, she didn't care about anything else. She lowered her head and shyly agreed. She picked up her small bag and went behind the screen. She didn't notice that there seemed to be several men's clothes draped on the other side of the screen.

Jia Cong listened to the rustling sounds of people taking off clothes behind the screen, and felt excited, anxious, and a little guilty.

If Miaoyu found out, he would be finished, and he would never see her again, and she would even leave the Jia Mansion immediately. And the good impression he had in her heart would be completely destroyed, which would greatly hurt her.

Jia Cong may be lustful, but he would not do such a thing that would be unfair to his friend. Even if he coveted Miaoyu's beauty, he could just pester her. Why would he be so inhuman and mean?

He hurriedly pulled Chu Chan to sit down and whispered, "What are you doing! If she finds out, she will definitely think it's me who did it. How can I...how can I face people?"

Chu Chan rolled her eyes at him and whispered, "Isn't it okay if she doesn't know?"

"..."

Jia Cong opened his mouth but was speechless. It seemed that what he said made sense. Seeing a figure swaying behind the screen, he knew that Miaoyu was about to come out, so he quickly retracted his head behind Chu Chan.

"Try it and see if the temperature of this pool is just right?" Chu Chan said with a smile.

"Well, very good." Miaoyu checked the water temperature, lifted her bare feet and slowly sank into the pool.

Listening to the sound of Miaoyu gradually entering the water, Jia Cong was so excited that his heart almost jumped out. He resisted the urge to spy and just held Chu Chan tightly under the water, fearing that she would suddenly run away and expose himself, which would be his death.

"Hmm..." Chu Chan suddenly felt pain in her waist and couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

Jia Cong reacted and quickly relaxed a little.

"Sister Chan, what's wrong?" Miaoyu looked over.

Chu Chan had a very good psychological quality, and smiled calmly: "It's okay, my toes accidentally hit a stone."

Miaoyu did not argue. She sank into the water with some restraint, leaving only her delicate head exposed.

Seeing this, Chu Chan smiled and said, "Sister, you are not afraid of being bored. Why should we women be shy?"

Miaoyu saw that most of Chu Chan's breasts were floating above the water and she shook her head shyly.

However, she couldn't bear it after a few breaths. Once a person is immersed in hot water up to his chest, he will find it very difficult to breathe, as if being pressed by a heavy object.

She had to stand up slowly until half of her breasts were out of the water. Only then did she feel refreshed and leaned against the pool to rest.

Chu Chan smiled and said, "Sister, you have a beautiful figure, natural and graceful. I feel pity for you. I just regret that I am a girl, otherwise I would have asked you to be my wife."

Miaoyu's face flushed slightly, perhaps because of the heat, and she said calmly, "Miss Chan is obsessed with appearances. She is just a stinking skin bag. All people in the world are the same, there is no distinction between good and bad."

Chu Chan smiled and said, "I cannot agree with this. If the skin is neither good nor bad, why do the Bodhisattvas in the temple always consider the golden body to be beautiful?

It is just a piece of mud or rotten wood, isn't it ordinary? As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha, so it can be seen that the Buddha also needs a good appearance. "

Miaoyu said: "That is the vanity of the world, unable to discern the true meaning of Buddhism, so the Buddha showed it with a golden garment, not because the Buddha values ​​this body."

Chu Chan is well-read and intelligent, so how could she be easily fooled by her? She smiled and said, "Sister, what you said is of course true, but everyone loves beauty. If we want people to abandon the concept of beauty and ugliness, even the great magical powers of the Buddha may not be able to do it.

We, mortals, can only be happy when we see beauty."

Miaoyu smiled and said, "Miss, you are too modest."

"This is truly what I really think. Not to mention me, even our so-called great talent has never been able to penetrate the realm of the physical body and surface." Chu Chan said with a sweet smile, reaching out her hand and gently scooping back under the water.

Jia Cong took a breath and hurriedly held her hand.

Miaoyu blushed and spat, "Sister, please be careful with your words. Why are you mentioning him now?" She naturally knew who the "great talent" was.

Chu Chan smiled and changed the subject, saying, "I heard that my sister was weak since she was a child, and she bought many substitutes but none of them worked. That's why she became a Buddhist monk and got better." Miaoyu nodded and said, "That's right. It's also my destiny with Buddha."

Chu Chan shook her head and smiled, "A few days ago, Cong'er asked Mr. Ye, a great doctor in the medical field, to check the pulses of the ladies and girls in the mansion one by one. I guess my sister should be fine, right?"

Miaoyu said: "Mr. Ye didn't say anything else, just that there is no hidden illness and that I just need to take good care of myself."

Chu Chan said: "That's it. I think your childhood illness has long been cured. If that's the case, why do you still want to practice with your hair uncut?"

Miaoyu shook her head and smiled, "Sister, you are too utilitarian. The Bodhisattva has blessed me and I am well again, so should I not worship the Bodhisattva?"

Chu Chan smiled and said, "This is not only what I mean, Cong Er also said so."

Jia Cong was very anxious and poked Chu Chan's waist under the water. When did I ever say such a thing? Forging the imperial edict in front of me is too outrageous.

Miaoyu hesitated and asked, "What did he...say?"

Chu Chan smiled and said, "He said, how come a good girl who has never experienced anything in the secular world has a fight with a Bodhisattva?
If it was for curing an illness, now that the illness is cured, and I have been chanting sutras and eating vegetarian food for so many years, I can say that I have done my duty to the Bodhisattva."

Miaoyu was very embarrassed and said angrily, "Sister, why don't you spit at him? Although he is a duke, he can't control me. Others like to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, what does it have to do with him? Why does he keep talking nonsense?"

Jia Cong was criticized for no reason and had no way to defend himself. He was so angry that he could only grab Chu Chan's buttocks hard.

"Sister, you're right. I scolded him like that too. Guess what he said?" Chu Chan imitated Jia Cong's tone and said, "Although it has nothing to do with me, I still have some sympathy for her. I can't bear to see such a beautiful person die alone and depressed."

When Miaoyu heard this, her expression darkened and she began to feel sad and sorry for herself. It turned out that he was pitying my loneliness.

Chu Chan was an experienced person. Seeing her expression, she had guessed something. She smiled and said, "Don't be fooled by him. That guy is used to pretending to be a good person and deceiving others. I have been fooled before."

Miaoyu was caught by her topic and couldn't help asking curiously, "Sister, what do you mean by that?"

Chu Chan smiled shyly and said, “When I was still a wife of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, that bastard was a gentleman, compassionate like a bodhisattva, and said he would save me from the sea of ​​suffering, and then I got on his pirate ship.

He is not saying this out of kindness, otherwise how could he pity all the little nuns in nunneries all over the world? It is because he is tempted by beauties. "

Miaoyu blushed and said, "Sister, you are living a happy life now, it's not entirely because you were deceived.

I am a person from the outside world, different from my sister. Those worldly words are like the wind passing by without a trace, and they do not stay in my heart. What the Duke says and does has nothing to do with Miaoyu. "

Chu Chan smiled and nodded: "This sentence has some meaning of 'stay away from upside-down dreams and finally achieve Nirvana'. My sister's Buddhist teachings are indeed profound."

As he said this, he tickled Jia Cong's belly underwater in a mocking manner, meaning, you see, people don't take you seriously.

Jia Cong hid in the darkness without fear of being discovered. He gradually calmed down and wrote on her back: "If I stand up, do you think she will take it seriously?"

Chu Chan just smiled without saying anything, cursing in her heart, "You vile fellow, you become so angry when you see Miaoyu coming. You are indeed worse off than a concubine."

Miaoyu said with embarrassment: "Sister, you are too kind. I don't have such a state of mind. I just keep the two words 'empty and bright' in mind."

Chu Chan smiled and said yes, "You little girl, you have never seen a man, yet you dare to pretend to be "clear-headed" in front of me? Let that bastard jump out and see if you are still clear-headed."

Thinking of this, Chu Chan smiled secretly in her heart, thinking that bastard was going to get the upper hand again, so she took advantage of Jia Cong's unpreparedness, twisted her waist lightly, slipped out of his grasp like a loach, and stood up and walked towards Miaoyu.

This frightened Jia Cong out of his wits. He stretched out his hand to grab her, but he felt that everything he touched was slippery and soft, and there was no place to put his strength. How could he grab her? If he really tried hard, he was afraid that he would hurt Chu Chan. He had to watch her walk away.

At this critical moment, Jia Cong suddenly came up with an idea and quickly dived into the water. He reached forward based on his feeling and accurately grabbed Chu Chan's calf, then sneaked under the water following her steps.

If someone was watching from the shore, they would be able to clearly see a huge figure following behind Chu Chan, but Miaoyu was sitting in the water and the light was not good, so she didn't notice anything.

Chu Chan was playing with the heartbeat, and she squatted down just three steps away from Miaoyu to give Jia Cong a chance to breathe.

This time, Jia Cong did not dare to let her go at all. After wrapping his legs around her waist, he dared to carefully stick his mouth and nose out of the water to breathe.

Miaoyu said shyly, "Sister, what are you doing..."

Chu Chan smiled and said, "It's dark over there, you can't even see me clearly, it's better to sit closer so it's more convenient to talk."

Miaoyu nodded, her eyes lightly sweeping across the trembling snow-capped peaks on her chest. As if frightened, she quickly turned away, not daring to look at her again.

Seeing her shy look, Chu Chan wanted to tease her even more. She gently stirred the water and said, "Sister, why are you so shy? I just said that your body is just a bag of skin. Why do you take it to heart?"

Miaoyu said hesitantly, "Sister is right. My practice is not good enough and I haven't been able to break through it yet."

Chu Chan smiled and said, "There is no need to rush into meditation and cultivation. Back then, Bodhidharma faced the wall for nine years before he finally achieved enlightenment. My sister is spiritually free, and one day she will reach the state of no desire, no seeking, and no discrimination."

Miaoyu sighed, "Sister, you understand the Buddhist principles very well, but I am obsessed with appearances. For those of us who study Buddhism, the first thing we should do is to get rid of the mind of discrimination. Only in this way can all beings be equal and all dharmas be empty."

Jia Cong laughed silently behind Chu Chan. "That sounds nice. If you say there is no difference, there is no difference between men and women. Then why should I hide? I'm afraid that once I come out, there will be a big difference."

Chu Chan smiled and said, "Sister is right, let's...ah! Mouse!"

When Miaoyu saw Chu Chan suddenly exclaim and point at the edge of the pool, she turned around abruptly and saw a fat rat more than half a foot long squatting on a fruit plate by the pool, holding a huge red date and chewing it. Its two mung bean eyes rolled around in the dark, emitting a faint light.

"ah!"

Miaoyu screamed instinctively, and threw all the equality of all beings out of her mind. She turned around and ran towards Chu Chan.

Unexpectedly, Chu Chan was already in a panic at this time. She didn't care whether Jia Cong was exposed or not. She turned around and hid behind Jia Cong.

Miaoyu was so panicked that she threw herself into a broad and solid embrace.

"Who is this?!" Miaoyu only felt that someone was hugging her, and a masculine aura was blowing towards her. It was definitely not Chu Chan!
This shock was a hundred times greater than before, and she was so frightened that she lost her soul. She looked up in panic, only to see a man with water dripping from his head and face, hugging her with a dry smile.

Ah!
A scream that pierced the clouds and split the rocks emanated from Miaoyu's mouth. She then struggled desperately to break free from Jia Cong's embrace, turned around and ran away.

Turning around, he saw the big rat staring at him motionlessly with a fierce look in its eyes. Suddenly, the hair on his body stood on end and he felt terrified.

There were evil rats in front and evil people behind. Miaoyu felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart. She had no way forward or backward. She sat in the pond in a daze, shedding tears. (End of this chapter)
