From the Red Mansion, you can travel through the world of martial arts

Chapter 138 Eating Rouge

From time to time, Yuanyang was seen approaching, wearing a water-red silk jacket, a green satin vest, a white crepe handkerchief, and a flowered collar around her neck.

When he saw Jia Wei, he immediately smiled and saluted: "Greetings to Master Wei."

Jia Wei looked her up and down for a while before nodding and saying, "I haven't seen you for a month. Sister Yuanyang has become more beautiful and well-groomed. Come, let me take a good look at her."

As Jia Yu was about to reach out and hug her, Yuanyang quickly dodged and said with a smile: "Second Master Yu, you must have had a hard journey. The old lady has set up a welcoming banquet in the courtyard, waiting for Second Master Yu to come and serve."

Jia Wei lost interest: "What's the matter, old lady?" He took Yuanyang's soft hand and said, "Let's go in and talk. I just landed when I got back and didn't even have a sip of tea."

Everyone in the West Palace knew that it was difficult to invite the Second Master. Lin Zhixiao and his group of housekeepers couldn't even get in the door, so Grandmother Jia had to send Yuanyang.

Seeing that Jia Wei was not in a good mood, Yuanyang had no choice but to follow him into the house.

The two sat down, Xiangling and Qingwen served tea, and Yuanyang chatted with them for a while before saying with a smile: "Did Second Master Wei rest well? The old ladies are still waiting over there."

Jia Wei reached out and fiddled with the collar flower on Yuanyang's neck. "You know I'm working hard, but you still want to torture me? Why don't I set up a meal in the yard, and my sister will take the place of the old lady to welcome me. I'll just eat with the two of us, and I'll like that."

"I don't have such a position," Yuanyang blushed and pleaded, "Why is it a hassle? Baoyu is here tonight, and the sisters in the mansion are also here, as well as the old lady's nieces and granddaughters. It will be very lively... If I can't invite Master Er, it will be my fault. Master Er, please pity me."

"I hate to join in the fun, but I don't want my sister to suffer any harm." Jia Wei said as he touched Yuanyang's hand and looked at her rosy lips. "Sister, do you remember what I said last time?"

Yuanyang's heartbeat slowed down immediately. She naturally remembered what Jia Wei said last time and had been thinking about it on the way...

"How can this be? Second Master, please stop humiliating me." Yuanyang turned sideways and said reluctantly, "If others know, they will say that I am trying to entice men to climb up the social ladder."

"Who knows? Who dares to say it? If anyone in the two mansions dares to gossip about me, no matter if he is a master or a servant, I will definitely punish him." Jia Wei pulled her with a little force.

"What else is there to say? I will ask the old lady for you tomorrow. Sooner or later, you will be mine, and I will eat the rouge on your lips every day."

Yuanyang spat in shame, "You are still my uncle, you are so unruly."

Jia Wei pulled her several times before she got up reluctantly, but she still turned away and didn't look at Jia Wei.

Jia Wei smiled and used a little force to bring Yuanyang into his arms. Jia Wei only felt two soft faces sitting on his legs. He then put one hand around her back and lifted her chin with the other hand, looking into her timid eyes.

Jia Wei untied her collar and threw it on the table. He buried his face in her white neck, smelling the fragrant oil, caressing it, and taking a few bites.

The mandarin ducks had never experienced such a situation before, and they were so scared that their bodies were shaking.

"Second Master..."

"Call me Master." Jia Wei touched her lips with his finger.

Now that she was in his arms, Yuanyang no longer held him in his arms and called out in a tender voice, "Master...oh!"

Yuanyang is a grown-up girl, fully grown, with lips that are cool, fragrant and soft.

"Why are you clenching your teeth so tightly? Open up..."

After a full cup of tea, Yuanyang finally escaped from the clutches of the devil and hurriedly straightened his unbuttoned collar.

Jia Wei wiped his mouth with her handkerchief. Even though Youshi had helped him relieve his heat once before, he was still a little hot now. When they walked out of the courtyard, it was already dark. Qingwen and Xiangling walked in front with lanterns.

Later, Jia Wei took advantage of the night to secretly hold Yuanyang's hand. After bullying her like this, he still had to comfort her...

There was laughter and joy in Rongqing Hall.

Grandmother Jia, Aunt Xue, Sister Feng, and Li Wan were playing dominoes. Mrs. Wang was not interested in playing these games, so she just watched from the side.

Although Yuanyang had left, Amber was still serving Jia's mother. She signaled to Feng Jieer and others and deliberately played cards to Jia's mother.

As soon as Feng Jieer lost money, she started to make some witty remarks, making everyone at the table laugh non-stop. Jia Mu had a happy face, but she kept looking towards the door, as if she was waiting for something...

In a wing separated by a green gauze screen, the sisters of the Jia family gathered around a table, apparently reciting couplets and occasionally reciting poetry. Several maids were busy running around, and the atmosphere was cheerful and lively.

A clever maidservant beside Baochai clapped her hands and said, "Brother Ai got it right, and Sister Lin got it even better! I also read books and write on weekdays, so how come I can't get it so good?"

This is Jia Mu’s great-grandniece, Shi Xiangyun.

Shi Xiangyun was deeply loved by Grandmother Jia, who would bring her to Rong Mansion for short stays every now and then. She grew up as Jia Baoyu's playmate.

But after all, she was a girl from the Shi family, and they had to consider the reputation of the Shi family and could not raise her personally, so Shi Xiangyun had no fixed residence in the Rong Mansion.

Xiangyun likes to lisp when she speaks, so she calls "Second Brother" "Ai Brother", and no one is surprised by it.

After everyone had joked for a while, Xiangyun saw that it was time but the meal had not started yet, so she leaned over to Baochai's ear and whispered, "Who are you waiting for?"

Look at how close she is to Baochai; their relationship is the best now.

Baochai naturally knew, "Waiting for the second brother from the East Palace."

Xiangyun just arrived at Rong Mansion this afternoon and has not left the Shi family's house. Her uncle and aunt would not tell her these things. She has no access to information from the outside world, so naturally she doesn't know about Jia Wei.

"The second brother from the East Mansion? Who is he and why is he so arrogant? So many of us are waiting for him, and the old lady is waiting too." Xiangyun asked curiously.

Baochai smiled and said, "When he comes, you will know."

"Okay, when he comes, I will definitely come up with a difficult couplet to make things difficult for him!" Xiangyun said with a smile. She was a straightforward person.

Yingchun heard this and asked curiously, "Can Second Brother Wei make couplets?"

If someone else said this, everyone would think she was belittling Jia Wei, but Yingchun was a simple and honest person, so she must have really asked this question.

Yuanchun thought of the letter and shook her head secretly, thinking that her brother's handwriting was so poor that he must not be good at writing.

Tanchun said, "That shouldn't be the case. Second Brother Wei has to learn military tactics and strategies, and also study martial arts classics. Even if he finds time to study literature, he will read the Four Books and Five Classics and other serious books. How can he write poems or couplets?"

When Baoyu heard about "the Four Books and the Five Classics and other serious books", he felt uncomfortable all over, but the person sitting in the first seat was Yuanchun, so he definitely didn't dare to get angry and say some ridiculous words about traitors and parasites.

Daiyu listened to the conversation and recalled what happened on the boat. She looked at Tanchun and said with a smile, "How do you know if he can write poetry? Maybe he can write very good poems and write neat and beautiful couplets, but he still doesn't bother to write or write couplets."
