Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Baoyu had secretly had sex with Xiren, Bihen and others in his room a long time ago, so he understood the mystery of the first couplet. On the surface, it refers to the two words "Wuxu", but in fact it refers to two sisters with similar appearances.

"There is only a little lack in the belly" not only refers to the difference in the shape of the characters, but also a hidden invitation to scholars.

If it were easy to just match the literal meaning, it would be difficult to match the two women's thoughts.

Jia Cong looked around at everyone and said with a smile, "None of them match?"

There are many talented women in the hall. Not to mention Baoyu and Daiyu, even Chuchan, Miaoyu, Keqing and others may not be unworthy of the title, but they just either disdain or find it inconvenient.

As expected, Miaoyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's just a trifle."

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Although it is a minor skill, the scholar is just like Baoyu, scratching his head and unable to match it."

Seeing the girls looking at him with smiles, Baoyu hurriedly said, "This couplet is very difficult. Let me think about it."

Jia Cong said, "The girl laughed and said, 'Is this all a famous scholar can do? I'll answer for you: 'Ji Si is a joint effort, why don't you double challenge?' After saying that, she floated away."

"Excellent! What a wonderful couplet!" Baoyu clapped his hands in praise. He was even happier to hear that there was a girl with such literary talent than himself.

Jia Cong said proudly: "How is it? Is it exquisite?"

Baochai, Daiyu and the others spat in shame, but had to admit that this couplet was wonderful.

"Ji Si" is not only similar in shape to "Wu Xu", but is also one of the zodiac signs. As for the following "Why don't you do double picks", it is really embarrassing, but it is indeed what the goblin said, and the correct answer is extremely neat.

If she only had talent but not the frivolity of a fairy, it would be impossible to be like her.

Jia Cong smiled and sat down. Chu Chan stood up to pour him some tea and took the opportunity to whisper in his ear, "How about my 'Jiashen and Shuangxiu, I hate that there are no two guns in front of me'?"

"You can be a demon now." Jia Cong said with a smile. Chu Chan is a professional at talking dirty. Only Keqing and Fengjie can compare with her.

Chu Chan walked away with a smile.

Jia Cong finished telling a story to warm up the atmosphere. Baoyu laughed and said, "The elegant seats are boring. We must play a game of drinking."

Everyone laughed and said, "There are too many people. We don't know what order to issue." Then they started to make suggestions. Some said this order was good, while others said that that order was good.

Daiyu glanced at Baochai and said with a smile, "Let's follow the old rules. Write it down and draw lots. Whichever one we draw is the one. I'll write it myself to prevent anyone from cheating secretly."

Seeing that Jia Cong was still "brooding over" the drawing of lots, Baochai didn't say much and just glared at Jia Cong in reproach. It's all your fault. You made me be bullied by Pin'er again.

Jia Cong laughed softly and said, "What's the big deal? Flirting is fun."

Baochai covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, ignoring him, and just watched Daiyu write down the drinking orders that everyone had said and throw them into the bottle.

Then the four birthday boys came up and picked one each. Ping'er picked a thumbs-up, Baoqin picked a guessing number, Xiuyan picked a hook, and Baoyu picked "obey me", looking confused.

Everyone was curious, "What kind of order is 'obey me'?"

Daiyu pointed at Xiangyun and said with a smile, "Ask her first."

Xiangyun laughed: "What I mean is that I have the final say on any drinking game."

Baochai laughed and said, "You are the only one who is weird. Then tell me about it."

Xiangyun drank a cup first and said, "The top of the wine should be a sentence of ancient Chinese literature, a sentence of old poetry, a sentence of a domino, a sentence of a tune, and a sentence from the calendar, all together to make a sentence. The bottom of the wine should be the names of fruits and vegetables related to human affairs."

After hearing her say this drinking order, all the girls and maids were frightened away and went to perform the other three orders.

Baochai smiled and said, "Only her orders are more interesting than nagging."

When Jia Cong heard that this was the most difficult drinking game in history, his hair stood on end and he hurriedly ran away: "You guys play this, I'm going to play finger-guessing with Sister Feng and the eldest sister-in-law."

"Don't run away from the battlefield! Otherwise, you will be fined three seas."

Xiangyun wanted to embarrass him, so she pulled him aside and glared at Baoyu, saying, "You are the host, the birthday boy, and you picked the order, so you speak first. Also, bring the dice bowl, and we will toss the dice to decide the order later."

Jia Cong had no choice but to sit down, secretly thinking about how to coax a talented woman to speak for him later.

Baoyu smiled and said, "Who said this? Let's think about it."

Xiangyun smiled and said, "I'll count to three. If you can't tell me the number, you'll have to drink three cups." Then she waved her hand and asked someone to bring some wine.

"Wait a minute, I got it." Baoyu was startled when he saw the three large wine glasses being brought up, and hurriedly said, "Listen..."

Xiangling, who was very eager to learn, hurried over to Baochai and whispered, "Madam, please tell me about it."

Baochai nodded, and Baoyu glanced at Daiyu and said, "There are probably hundreds of fish in the pond..."

"This is Liu Zongyuan's ancient prose."

"There is nowhere for the swaying."

“This is an old poem.”

"The only thing left is to crush the plum blossoms."

"Crushed Clubs is the name of a domino."

"Feeling the night rain in Xiaoxiang."

"Xiaoxiang Night Rain is the name of a tune."

"But the evil spirit should be avoided."

"The evil spirits that should be avoided are written in the calendar."

Baoyu picked up another peanut and said, "The heart is filled with love, and the rain of Dharma is the peanut."

“This is an old poem.”

Baochai explained it once and looked at Daiyu with a half-smile, meaning that Baoyu, this fool, was still obsessed with you, Concubine Xiaoxiang, but was just afraid of Cong'er, the "evil spirit". At last, she had avenged herself for the bullying she had just suffered.

Daiyu glared at her with both shame and anger, then glanced at Jia Cong cautiously. Seeing that he had a sad face and didn't care about Baoyu's words at all, she felt relieved. Then her face turned cold and she glanced at Baoyu, her words showing her reprimand.

Baoyu was startled, and hurriedly forced a smile and said, "Sister Yun, I've finished talking, it's your turn."

Xiangyun took the dice and started to roll. She rolled a four, glanced around, and clapped her hands, saying, "Gai Cong, hurry up and say something! Fill up these three cups."

Ah? Jia Cong was surprised and asked, "The first one is me?"

"Four, of course it's you." Xiangyun proudly counted from the left to Jia Cong's head, and it happened to be the fourth one.

Daiyu came to the rescue and said, "Have a cup and I will speak for you."

"Good girl." Jia Cong drank a cup in a hurry, and then heard Daiyu say:

"There is the sound of water in the cave, and its sound is vigorous. After the floating clouds left, the water has flowed for ten years. It is the 'Nine Creeks and Eighteen Caves', and the best scenery is 'Walking in the Moon' - there are no taboos."

Daiyu picked up a piece of rabbit meat and glanced at Baoyu intentionally or unintentionally, saying, "The ink pool flew out of the North Sea fish, and the pen killed all the rabbits in Zhongshan." Jia Cong applauded and said, "Good, I am so domineering."

Seeing Baoyu, the "Zhongshan rabbit", retreating in shame, Baochai said with a smile, "Pin'er's drinking game skills have improved. She has both form and spirit, and is full of heroic spirit."

Daiyu sighed and said with a smile, "Sister Bao, you are too kind. I just said it without thinking. I will thank you when you can teach me how to draw lots."

Baochai was furious and spat, "You made the lots yourself, and you want me to teach you?"

Everyone was unaware of their wit and were all grinning foolishly.

Jia Cong handed the dice bowl to Daiyu in a flattering manner and said with a smile, "Pin'er, you throw the dice."

Daiyu took it and threw it, and it was 2.

Xiangyun almost spit out the food in her mouth and laughed, "It's him again! You are not allowed to take his place."

It turns out that Jia Cong is on Daiyu's left.

Jia Cong looked at Daiyu speechlessly.

Baochai smiled and came to the rescue, saying, "Have a cup and I'll say one for you."

Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly drank a cup.

Baochai groaned for a moment and said, "You traveled outside the Great Wall and encountered much frost and dew. You drank from the cold water and the wind was as sharp as a knife. Just when the wind and clouds were at their zenith, I once 'remembered Qin E' and prayed for you and thanked the gods."

After saying this, he picked up a piece of mutton and put it in Jia Cong's bowl, saying with a smile: "The first hunt with carved bows and white feathers is over, and the cattle and sheep are coming down again in the thin night."

"Good!" everyone praised.

Daiyu also smiled and nodded. This was the highest level of drinking games. They were come up with effortlessly, in line with the rules set by Xiangyun, and in line with the identities of the characters. The artistic conception and literary talent were all amazing.

"Good." Jia Cong clapped his hands in approval, and quickly grabbed the dice bowl, saying, "I'll throw the dice myself this time."

"Eleven o'clock! Let me see who it is." Jia Cong counted a circle and a half and said with a smile, "It's Miaoyu."

Everyone laughed. They had only heard Xing Xiuyan say that she was a talented writer, but they had never seen her, so this was a good opportunity to broaden their horizons.

Miaoyu rolled her eyes at Jia Cong and said casually, "I am so happy to be with the Creator, but I don't know where to end. The moon rises in the east, and a good wind follows. Looking down, I see 'two fish emerging from the water', and I hear 'the roar of water dragons' in the distance - but it is the day of the tiger, and the punishment from heaven."

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "Fortunately, I have fragrant tea for the young child, but I cannot bear the autumn grass to send the prince away."

"it is good!"

Baochai and Daiyu smiled at each other. As expected, there is no false reputation. Miaoyu is a noble person, and her drinking songs also reveal a sense of otherworldly and ethereal quality.

Only Chu Chan smiled slyly. The words "Fortunately there is fragrant tea for the young child, but unbearable autumn grass for the prince" at the bottom of the wine had a deep meaning. She knew that Miaoyu had invited Jia Cong to have tea twice, and thought to herself that this girl was really tempted by worldly desires.

Miaoyu gave Jia Cong a slightly sullen look, then took the dice bowl and threw the dice again.

"Five o'clock."

"It's him again! Hahaha." Xiangyun laughed and pointed at Jia Cong.

Miaoyu returned the dice bowl to Jia Cong with a gloating look on her face.

Baochai and Daiyu had both taken their place, so Jia Cong hurriedly looked at Chu Chan.

Chu Chan smiled and said, "Let me tell you one for you. The host and the guests have enjoyed the beauty of the southeast, the tender willows brushing the water by the pond, and a flower is seen in the pond, and the girl admiring the flower is as charming as the moon - it is the day of the dragon." She pointed to a pot of tortoise and phoenix stew on the table and said, "The precious tortoise is two inches long, and it comes from the deep water."

Xiangyun frowned and said, "The wine is not right. Although there is this dish on the table, it has nothing to do with human affairs."

Chu Chan glanced at Jia Cong, covered her mouth and smiled, "Miss Yun, you are wrong. This old poem is exactly a metaphor for things, it is a complete human matter. If you don't believe me, ask the two ladies."

Jia Cong laughed and said, "I can prove that it is indeed very appropriate."

When Bao and Dai saw Xiangyun looking over, they cursed in their hearts, "Damn it, damn it, why did Chan say such crazy things?" She blushed and covered it up, saying, "It barely counts."

Xiangyun was puzzled and looked at Miaoyu for advice: "What allusion are they talking about? How come I don't know it?"

Miaoyu coughed dryly. She had seen the precious turtle before, but she dared not say anything. She just shook her head and said nothing.

Xiangyun could only glare at Jia Cong and said, "Let's see who you ask to replace me next time."

After several rounds of drinking games, except for Miaoyu and Xiangyun who refused to speak for Jia Cong, even Baoqin was shamelessly dragged in by Jia Cong to block him once. Finally, she was at her wit's end and was severely punished several times, which made Xiangyun dance with joy and laugh.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became heated. People were running around, regardless of which table they were at, pointing at their favourite points, playing finger-guessing games, and having fun, shouting and yelling.

The whole hall was filled with red and green dancing, jade and pearls swaying, it was really lively.

When Jia Cong heard Tanchun's invitation, he quickly freed himself and went to play finger-guessing games with the girls at other tables.

Xiangyun had successfully tricked Jia Cong today and was in a very good mood. She turned around and played finger-guessing games with Youshi, Yuanyang and others. They drank until the cups were dry and were extremely generous. Before they knew it, they had drunk a little too much and felt a little dizzy, so they walked out of the hall and wanted to take a walk in the garden.

In the hall, Jia Cong also drank a lot of penalty wine. In addition, his luck was very bad today. He kept hitting the wall in the game of finger-guessing. He was surrounded by Tanchun, Qingwen, Feng Jieer, the Wanyan sisters, Li Wan and others. He didn't know how much he drank for a while. Even with his alcohol tolerance, he felt a little dizzy.

He hurriedly said, "You guys take a rest. I'm going to go out to relieve myself and come back to fight again."

Qingwen smiled sweetly and said, "I'll go with you, don't run away to pee."

Jia Cong hurriedly said, "What a joke. Who am I? I won't fall until Qingdao falls. I won't float until the snowflakes float. You want to pee? That's nonsense. Wait!" After saying that, he slipped out.

The girls looked at his back and laughed in unison, "You've already started talking nonsense, why don't you just surrender?"

Jia Cong slipped out, finally feeling relieved. It was not because he was running away to pee, but he was just using a "delaying tactic" he learned in the court.

He was too lazy to look for a toilet, so he followed the path to a secluded place. There was no one around, but only a lot of peonies, probably several thousand of them, in full bloom. The flowers were as big as bowls, colorful, brilliant and gorgeous, like brocade.

Jia Cong had no elegance and was not interested in appreciating flowers. He lifted up his clothes and ejaculated towards the flowers, making a hissing sound. After a long time, he let out a sigh, shuddered, and tied his belt with a look of satisfaction.

Just as he turned around to leave, he heard a muffled voice coming from the flowers behind him. He was startled and turned around quickly. He saw a girl lying on a bluestone bench among the flowers, soundly sleeping. Her body and surroundings were covered with peony petals, but he had no idea who she was.

Jia Cong came closer and saw that it was Xiangyun. She must have been drunk and came out to relax like him. She couldn't stand the alcohol and fell asleep on the stone.

I saw her mumbling something, so I squatted down and listened carefully. It was a drinking game like "A distant fire on a cold mountain flickers outside the forest. Spring is ready in the evening, so enjoy yourself without guessing."

Jia Cong smelled the faint scent of wine and girlish fragrance between her lips and teeth, and his heart was moved. He couldn't help but look at her carefully.

Xiangyun's skin was delicate, fair and tender, with a rosy glow, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her long and dense eyelashes were gently trembling, her nose was straight and beautiful, and the tip of her nose was slightly upturned, which made her look more playful.

The red cherry lips opened and closed slightly, revealing a hint of tender and charming sounds, and a scent like orchid and musk.

Looking further down, Jia Cong's eyes lit up. Xiangyun's swollen chest was like a fruit full of juice. He could not help swallowing his saliva, thinking that she was between Baochai and Daiyu, and she would have great potential in the future.

The more Jia Cong looked at her, the more he loved her. Thinking of Chu Chan's words, he suddenly became lustful and could not help but slowly move closer. He thought to himself that he would kiss her and then run away, and no one would notice.

When he felt the soft and moist touch on his lips, Jia Cong's heart was burning with excitement, and he immediately threw the strategy he had just decided to the back of his mind. He decided to die, and enjoy the pleasure first. (End of this chapter)
