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

Chapter 194: Xue Baochai's Outing
The East Mansion was promoted to a higher rank and had its plaque changed a few days ago, and today is the day for a wedding. It's really one happy event after another.

On this day, the mansion was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, and it was full of joy.

From the main gate, ceremonial gate, hall, warm room, inner hall, inner three gates, inner ceremonial gate and inner blocked gate to the main hall, the main gate was wide open all the way, and at the steps on both sides, there were huge vermilion lanterns that lit up like two golden dragons.

Jia Wei was originally from Ningguo Mansion, and now he has become very powerful, so he has many guests coming and going today.

In addition to the old nobles such as the Four Kings and Eight Dukes of Beijing County Palace, Nan'an County Palace, Zhenguo Duke Palace, Liguo Duke Palace, and Qi Duke Palace, as well as the old relatives of the Jia family, there are also the Jinyiwei, Longjinwei, and officials of all ranks in the six ministries who Jia Wei has just met or wants to curry favor with.

Although the three sisters of the Yu family are capable of managing the household, they are still unable to handle such a large occasion. Fortunately, they have help from Feng Jieer, Yuanchun, Yuanyang and others from the West Palace.

Several people were busy preparing the banquet and entertaining relatives and friends.

As for Li Gongcai, she was a widow, so she naturally avoided Jia Wei's marriage today.

Jia Jing, the only elder of the Ningguo lineage, refused to come out into the world for fear of being contaminated by the world of prostitution, so he could only have thirty-six large boxes of food sent to him.

In the courtyard, Ping'er was leading Qingwen and Cuiguo to change new clothes for Jia Wei. Maids from the two mansions often sneaked into the courtyard to pay their respects to Jia Wei and ask for tips, making the courtyard extremely lively.

It happened that Yuanyang, Amber and several other maids from Jia Mu's courtyard passed by and came to ask for rewards. Jia Wei asked Ping'er to pick up some small coins for each of them, and gave Yuanyang a golden melon seed as a reward.

Jia Wei said with a smile: "What reward are you asking for? Sooner or later you will be a maid in this mansion. Today is the best day, and it's just right for you to stay."

Yuanyang declined a few times, as today was Jia Wei's big day and she couldn't refuse.

"I'm not kidding. If you wait a few more years, you'll be an old girl." Jia Wei laughed, and called Hu Bo again, saying, "Pass my words on to the old lady."

Amber responded. Everyone knew that there was absolutely no reason for Lady Jia to disapprove, so the matter was definitely settled.

The maids inside and outside the courtyard all looked at Yuanyang with envy. Since Jia Wei had been thinking about her for so long, maybe she would become his concubine not long after she came to the Marquis' Mansion.

The girls were laughing and making a lot of noise, which made Yuanyang blush...

When the time came, Jia Wei came out of the marquis's mansion wearing a laurel crown on his head, a dragon robe, a jade belt around his waist, and riding a tall, snow-white horse.

The wedding procession went to Xue's residence with music and dance, and the streets along the way were filled with Jinyiwei guards.

It’s not that Jia Wei is timid. Today is such an auspicious day. If someone causes trouble, even if they fail, it will ruin people’s mood and make them feel disgusted.

Jia Wei had accumulated power for a long time, and there was still no trouble from the villains, so he arrived at the Xue family's door smoothly.

Before going to Baochai's room, Jia Wei and Ding Baiying looked at each other and felt completely relieved. Yesterday, he sent Xiangling and Ding Baiying to guard Baochai just in case.

After some music and dance, it was a lively occasion, and finally the bride, wearing a phoenix coronet and wedding dress, was put into the bridal sedan.

"Please sit down, bride, and lift the sedan chair!"

Jia Wei climbed onto his horse, thinking about how beautiful Baochai would look under her red veil, and felt happy and elated.

The Xue family is a royal family. Although their business has failed in recent years, they are still wealthy. Now that Jia Wei has been promoted to the title of Marquis, Aunt Xue is even more worried. She can only prepare more dowry to give Baochai more confidence.

Generally speaking, a woman's dowry is based on 64 loads. A wealthy family would generally have half a load, or 32 loads. A small family would certainly not be so extravagant, and how much they could afford depended on their family's financial situation.

To save face, Aunt Xue must have arranged a ten-mile long wedding banquet, which required 128 sedan chairs. This was also the case when Jia Min was married in Rongguo Mansion.

Two people each carried the load, and the team stretched out in front and behind. One hundred and twenty-eight people carried the load, which was exactly ten miles long. But the distance from Xue's house to the Marquis's Mansion was less than ten miles.

As a new upstart in the Shenjing City, Jia Wei has a very prominent reputation. His wedding today has also attracted the attention of ordinary people.

The noisy and eye-catching team returned to the Marquis' Mansion amid the onlookers of passers-by along the way.

The best man performed praises for the ceremony and bowed to heaven and earth.

Jia Wei has no father or mother, so he could only worship heaven and earth twice.

After all the ceremonies were completed, they were escorted to the bridal chamber. There were also matters such as sitting on the bed and spreading the curtains, all in accordance with the old customs of Jinling.

Although Jia Wei was unwilling, he had to go back to the front yard to socialize and perform his due etiquette.

He also ordered people to keep an eye on Xue Pan, fearing that he might get drunk and act crazy.

He also ordered people to keep an eye on the courtyard where Zhao Min and Mu Wanqing lived.

After staying outside for a while, Jia Wei slipped away and returned to the inner courtyard.

The highlight of a marriage is naturally the wedding night.

Inside the main room, on a high table, below the double happiness characters, two red candles were burning high, casting a bright crimson glow.

Behind a large and exquisite glass screen, Baochai, wearing a bright red wedding gown, a phoenix coronet and a red veil on her head, sat upright on a bed decorated with gorgeous ornaments and a necklace.

The room was very quiet, except for the occasional noise coming from outside and the faint sound of burning candles.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open with a "creak". Baochai's heart tightened. She heard the footsteps gradually approaching and stopping in front of her. She couldn't help but clutch her red skirt.

Jia Wei looked at Baochai and took a deep breath.

Finally I got you.

He has been coveting Sister Bao for a long time. At first, he thought he had traveled to a world of the Red Mansion, and he started thinking about her when he was in Jinling.

But given Baochai's ladylike personality, it is both difficult and easy to conquer her.

In her poem "Ode to White Begonia", the line "Cherish your beauty and close the door during the day" fully reveals her self-loving and dignified nature.

She is a quiet and seldom-spoken person, and people think she is hiding her stupidity; she is content with her lot and says she is keeping to her simplicity. Baochai is a cold beauty.

She won't have any extramarital affairs, and even if she does, she will keep it to herself. This is what makes it difficult to conquer her.

If Jia Wei had not been born in the Jia family, it would have been difficult for him to meet her and talk to her.

But the strategy is actually very simple, all it requires is a marriage contract.

After the engagement, Jia Wei and Baochai's intimacy progressed by leaps and bounds, and it was no problem for them to go to the grove to eat and play with snowballs...

While Jia Wei was still sighing, Ying'er handed him a weighing rod from the side. Jia Wei wanted to use the weighing rod to lift up the red veil, which meant everything was going well and also showed that the husband and wife had equal status.

Jia Wei finally couldn't help laughing. He took the scale bar and gently lifted the red veil, revealing a graceful, elegant and plump face, as charming and beautiful as a fairy in the Moon Palace.

Baochai, dressed in gorgeous make-up and fine clothes, with sturdy shoulders and a hunched body, slowly raised her eyes to look at him, with her hair tied up in her tresses and her eyes slightly dimmed, like lotus powder hanging in dew and apricot blossoms moist in the smoke.

Jia Wei sat down beside her and said, "My Baochai, you are so beautiful."

He slowly leaned forward and placed a kiss on Baochai's fresh red lips.

Now Baochai naturally had no reason to refuse, so she shyly closed her eyes and let Jia Wei kiss her.

Although Jia Wei was anxious, he also knew that the process was not yet complete. He took Baochai's hand and sat down at the table.

Jia Wei took the wine glass handed to him by Xiangling and handed one to Baochai.

The two looked at each other in silence, but their friendship flowed.

"We are married as husband and wife, and our love for each other is unquestionable."

After they drank the wedding wine, Baochai raised her rosy face and said with her pink lips: "Master..."

Jia Wei was so proud of himself that the family status of men reached its peak in that era, and women were truly obedient to their husbands.

Chai and Dai are both the best among the Twelve Beauties of Jinling. To make a fairy like Baochai willingly call him "Master" gives him a sense of superiority over her in personality and a pleasure of conquering her wholeheartedly.

He reached out to untie Baochai's phoenix crown and ordered, "Eat something first, I'll take a bath."

Unlike him who was attending a banquet outside, Baochai sat in the room all day without touching her head or getting wet.

He was sweating after a busy day. In his previous life, he had to take a shower every time he checked into a room by the hour, let alone this was his first time in the bridal chamber.

This was the fastest time Jia Wei took a bath since he traveled through time. He didn't even tease the maid who was serving him.

Baochai also had some simple snacks, and tidied the bed with Ying'er and Xiangling, picking out beans, peanuts, red dates and other things on the bed that symbolized "many children and good fortune."

Then I sat on it and waited obediently.

The red candle flickered, illuminating Baochai's skin, which was white and smooth. She just sat there alone, and a touch of red glow spread from her neck to her earlobes.

What to do next, before she got married, someone taught her...

As soon as Jia Wei entered the door, he ordered, "Everyone go out."

Ying'er and Xiangling went out and closed the door. He went behind the screen and hugged Baochai directly. This hug was truly warm and soft.

Baochai is compared to Yang Fei, with a voluptuous figure and flesh growing in the right places.

Jia Wei first looked at Baochai's face carefully and admired it for a while, until Baochai was so embarrassed that she lowered her head.

Just after giving Baochai a light kiss on her lips, he pulled away and asked, "Sister Bao, you won't bite me this time, will you?"

Baochai was so embarrassed that she kept burrowing into his arms. Jia Wei lowered his head and kissed her soft lips.

That cool fragrance was so pleasant to the touch. Jia Wei thought that he would not suffer from insomnia if he hugged Baochai while sleeping in the future.

Then from the side of the face, to the ears, and down along the snow-white neck.

Jia Wei pulled off her shoes and socks, and just as he grabbed Baochai's feet, Baochai was embarrassed and subconsciously shrank back. Then she remembered Jia Wei's identity, and slowly stretched out her feet and put them on his legs.

This simple action made Jia Wei take a deep breath.

Baochai has very small feet, the skin on the top of her feet is as white as jade, her toes are as round as pearls, the arch curve of her feet is perfect, and her soles are slender.

Jia Wei asked with a smile: "Baochai, can I play with your feet?"

Baochai was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak, and just nodded gently.

Jia Wei pinched her arch, feeling her delicate and soft skin, and an idea came to his mind.

Never mind, don’t scare her on the first night.

Jia Wei suppressed it temporarily and decided to talk about it later.

Jia Wei also took off the shoe and socks on her other foot, put the two small feet together, and played with them at will.

From toes to arches, ankles to heels.

Baochai's face flushed red and she stretched her hands behind her back to maintain her balance.

Baochai's jade feet are totally gourmet grade, and her face is a five-star food safety license.

Jia Wei couldn't help it, he kissed it and put it into his mouth.

Jia Wei was very patient tonight and decided to play from bottom to top.

Baochai said shyly: "Brother Wei..."

Jia Wei reached out and untied her wedding dress. Unlike that day in the grove, today she must untie it herself.

The wedding dresses were placed on a chair nearby.

Baochai remembered something and took a square piece of white silk from the side to pad it.

Her long black hair flowed on the red quilt and her eyes were tightly closed.

Jia Wei smiled and said, "Where can we go now?"
"You just got married today and I won't tell you, but you are not allowed to wrap yourself up in the future."

"Um……"

Baochai's legs are straight, but not the kind of chopstick legs.

There is flesh on the thighs, which are just the right amount of plump and tightly closed without any gaps.

Emm...Jia Wei has another idea.

Jia Wei said, "Baochai, I can play with your legs for three years."

"Brother Yu!"

After all, she was a girl, and even when facing her husband, she covered herself with a quilt and held her body with one hand.

But Baochai's arms are thin and white, and the white flesh is squeezed out when she covers them like this.

It looks more round and graceful. . .

Jia Wei grabbed her hands and turned them outward.

Baochai's hands were shaking. Jia Wei looked at her hands and chose to handle it again.

This soft little hand...

Idea, plus one.

The huge snowflakes were finally visible, looking pink.

Idea, plus one.

Jia Wei must try all these methods one by one, but there is still a long way to go.

For now, just hold one snow piece in each hand.

Then, start.

Knead the dough.

But how long.

Baochai dodged sideways.

She has a very thin waist with dimples, a rare feature that adds to her beauty.

"Brother Yu, Brother Yu." Baochai's mind was blank and she didn't know what to say, so she could only call Jia Yu.

It probably means stop playing around, I'm shy.

Jia Wei went to pull the quilt from below, but Baochai grabbed it. He smiled and was not in a hurry. After a moment, Baochai had no choice but to let go.

Parrot Island is covered with lush grass...

Wait! Where's the grass?

Uh……

Jia Wei was a little surprised.

Jia Wei was looking at Baochai, and Baochai closed her eyes tightly.

In this day and age, very little knowledge in this area is spread.

Perhaps Baochai doesn't even know how different she is.

Baochai still has a lot to learn.

"Baochai."

"Open your eyes and look at me."

Upon hearing this, Baochai could only slowly open her eyes.

Jia Wei,

Stand up.

Jia Wei was still asking: "What's your name?"

Baochai was too busy to pay attention.

"Good boy Baochai, answer my question quickly."

She could only hum and reply, "Xue Bao, hairpin."

The snow waves were surging.

Jia Wei was satisfied. He realized very clearly that he was targeting Xue Baochai.

"now what?"

"Jia, Xue, clan."

……

The next day, in the red gauze tent, Jia Wei woke up holding heavy snow.

He stood up and took a look, only to see a white silk with spots of crimson hanging on the tent beside him.

Then he met a pair of calm, gentle eyes.

Jia Wei can read sweetness and happiness from Baochai's eyes...

Baochai also woke up, looked in the direction he was looking, then turned her head away embarrassedly.

Jia Wei said, "Please keep it well. I will appreciate it again in the future."

He hugged Baochai again, "I'll hold you, you sleep a little longer."

Normally, the bride should not sleep too long on this day and should serve tea to her parents, but Jia Wei has no parents, so there is no need to set rules.

The current custom is to return to the Xue family on the ninth day. Only after nine days will Jia Wei bring Baochai back to the Xue family.

Baochai always abides by the rules, regardless of whether someone disciplines or advises her.

Not long after, she got up and asked the maid to help her wash and dress, and then went to serve Jia Wei. Jia Wei took pity on her health and just asked her to do a good job.

"Let's set the table. We have things to do after we finish eating."

Baochai looked at him in confusion, and Jia Wei said, "Someone from the palace will come to convey the imperial decree to confer the title of Emperor Gaozu on you later."

Dai Quan informed him of this matter two days ago. The silver was not given away for free, as he was well-informed about the news in the palace.

When the maids Ying'er, Xiangling and others heard this, they hurriedly called Baochai "Grandma" and said auspicious words to congratulate her.

When she saw Baochai again, she was also stunned. She looked at Jia Wei for a moment. The emotion revealed in her eyes was definitely not as simple as surprise.

Jia Wei smiled and was able to write "A good wind will help me soar to the sky", which definitely shows his ambition.

It’s a pity that Baochai is a woman. Even if she has great talents, she has nowhere to display them.

Jia Wei squeezed her hand and said, "My wife, you must be obedient in the future."

Baochai hummed softly, and Jia Wei looked at the group of maids again.

"What do you mean by 'grandma'? It makes me uncomfortable. From now on, let's just call her 'girl' when we are locked up in the yard. We can talk to outsiders later."

Xiangling and the other maids said yes. Jia Wei's words must work.

Jia Wei looked at Baochai again. She was in high spirits when she said, "I am planning to take in a third concubine. I will bring her in during the month and have them serve you tea. Do you have any objection?"

Xiangling and Qingwen, two of Jia Wei's maids, didn't take it seriously. Only Ying'er pouted and looked unhappy.

This new bride just got married and she took a concubine within a month. This was indeed a bit wrong.

Baochai looked calm and said with a smile, "It's all up to you. Who are they?"

After all, it was only the first day of their marriage, and Baochai still felt a little sad when she heard Jia Wei's words.

This is a normal little girl's mentality, but she was also mentally prepared.

Ordinary masters of gentry families would have several concubines, let alone Jia Wei, a first-class marquis.

Moreover, the education she received since childhood was to be virtuous and kind, and jealousy was one of the seven reasons for divorce. Baochai would definitely not commit this mistake.

Besides, before getting married, she had heard of the girl living in the East Mansion. After experiencing Jia Wei's seduction and molestation of her before and after marriage, she also knew that Jia Wei was a romantic man and it was normal for him to do such a thing.

"First, there were Miss Ding and Miss Mu in the mansion, and there is also Miss Rushuang outside the mansion." Jia Wei held Baochai's hand tightly, "I'm sorry to have wronged you. Don't worry, my heart is with you."

Baochai smiled at his sweet words, but while talking to Jia Wei, she felt a sense of crisis in her heart.

There are three rooms on the first day, and there will be more people as time goes by.

Now Jia Wei and her have just got married, of course they are in love, but what about after that? Who can guarantee that it is common to forget the old one when you have a new one?

Baochai took a deep breath and felt that marrying in was not the end, but just a beginning...

Jia Wei was also good at observing people's expressions. He immediately hugged Baochai and coaxed her, "I have a lot of chores to do outside, so you have to take care of the affairs in the mansion."

Baochai naturally agreed. She had been helping Aunt Xue since she was young. It was the rule that a woman should manage the rear quarters so that the man could have no worries and concentrate on his work.

Baochai added, "But the mansion is so big, and there must be a lot of things to do. It would be better to let a sister who is interested help out."

Jia Wei touched her head and knew how to delegate power. Baochai was really a good girl. With her around, Jia Wei no longer had to worry about a fire in the harem.

"It's up to you. Whoever you like can be your assistant." Jia Wei said with a smile, "You should find more helpers, including Sister You, Ping'er, Yuanyang, and Cuiguo.

"You just need to take care of the big picture and check the accounts on weekdays. Divide the work among them. First, don't tire yourself out with these mundane affairs. I feel bad for you. Second, you should still focus on me. I want to see your people as soon as I return home."

When the maids heard what Jia Wei said, they all laughed. Baochai was also shy and said "OK" softly.
