Chapter 346 Manliness
The girl stood under the weeping willow, the warm afterglow shining on her fair face.

It also sprinkled in the quiet pond, sparkling, and a few gulls and herons stirred up circles of delicate ripples.

Suddenly, the gorgeous clouds in front of her eyes were blocked, and a pair of hands covered her eyes from behind.

"Ah!" Yingchun was startled, "Who is it?"

The person behind her didn't say anything, but she could smell a cool, sweet and cold fragrance from that hand.

"Baby girl!"

Yingchun shouted, took the hands away, turned around to look, and saw a handsome face!
Yingchun was stunned on the spot and tried to step back, but she missed her step and fell into the pond!

Yingchun screamed! Jia Wei put his arm around her slender waist and gently carried her back.

Yingchun felt a surge of fear and subconsciously hugged Jia Wei's strong waist, but then quickly let go, her cheeks flushed like a fiery cloud in the sky.

"Second Brother..."

Jia Wei looked over and found that Yingchun had grown up. Her slim waist and plump buttocks showed that she was well-fed. Her skin was fair, her cheeks were the color of fresh litchis, and her nose was as smooth as goose fat.

Jia Wei's attention used to be on Chai and Dai. Now that he has both of them, he realizes that Yingchun also has her own unique qualities...

"Sister Yingchun, I am sorry for being rude. I just wanted to play a joke on you, but I ended up scaring you. I apologize to you." Jia Wei smiled and bowed to apologize.

Yingchun quickly turned aside to avoid the greeting: "No, no, second brother, I accidentally stepped on empty space... Thank you for rescuing me, second brother."

Yingchun thought of the strong, powerful embrace just now, her cheeks flushed and her heart beat like a deer.

Jia Wei laughed out loud when he heard Yingchun's words.

Even though he was being bullied, he still thanked him.

This Yingchun is indeed honest and easy to bully. With his methods, won’t he get her in minutes?
Just as Jia Wei was about to speak, Yingchun could not stand the embarrassment. She was too embarrassed to face anyone and quickly said, "Second brother Wei, I'll go back first." After saying that, she lowered her head and ran away.

Jia Wei looked at her back and thought that Yingchun was very suitable to be a concubine, according to the rules!

Yingchun left the forest and hid behind a rock, covering her eyes with her hands, her face flushed, her heart pounding...

On the other side, Jia Wei tidied his clothes and went back to the Reed Snow Pavilion. Tanchun was leaning on the railing. She turned around when she heard the footsteps, and quickly stood up when she saw him coming.

"Sister Tanchun is fishing..."

In the small pavilion, the lights were bright and there were many people.

As night fell, the girls returned to Hengwu Garden from the garden. Seeing that everyone was present, Baochai ordered a banquet to be set up. After the banquet, the singing girls from the Marquis's mansion came to sing and dance.

The births of these singers were no lower than those of the girls in the imperial garden, and many of them even came from families that were more powerful than the now declining Rongguo Mansion.

Just because her father and brother were implicated in the crime of treason, they were sentenced to slavery and sent to the Music Bureau. She was intercepted by Jia Wei and brought to the Marquis' Mansion, where she was handed over to Liu Rushi to teach her opera and dance.

Liu Rushi's level was naturally at the master level. After half a year, these women danced gracefully and in unison, and the music sounded melodious and pleasant.

In particular, most of them come from families of poetry and literature, and after years of education, they have a quiet and graceful scholarly temperament.

When the girls saw him, they all sensed his extraordinaryness, and even felt ashamed of themselves, and doubts arose in their hearts...

Suddenly, Tanchun saw someone's face clearly and said in surprise, "Sister Fu..."

Several girls turned their heads to look. Xiangyun was half drunk and didn't hear clearly, "Who?"

Tanchun looked a little gloomy and shook her head for a moment.

After the singing girls sang two more Jiangnan tunes, they packed up their instruments, bowed and prepared to leave. Jia Wei thought, isn't my singing and dancing troupe more prestigious than the opera troupe bought by Rongguo Mansion? The emperor was very pleased.

"reward!"

However, those women were not surprised by the praise or criticism. After paying their respects, they quietly withdrew.

"These women don't look like people from the music hall..."

Everyone had left, but the girls were still talking.

Xiangyun was a little tipsy, but she had not forgotten what Tanchun had just called out, so she pushed her and asked, "What did you say just now?"

Seeing that all the girls were looking over, Tanchun said, "I know the person in the middle just now. Her surname is Fu. Her brother Fu Shi is the master's disciple. I heard that her family fell into trouble a few years ago. I didn't expect..."

Tanchun paused and sighed. The other girls also felt sad when they heard this.

The former best friends now meet at a banquet, but one is a guest and the other a lowly singer...

All the women were kind-hearted, and they couldn't help but feel sorry for Fu Qiufang's tragic experience and sighed.

She couldn't help but think that if her family met with trouble in the future, their ending might not be as good as Fu Qiufang's.

"Second brother, how did Sister Fu get to your house?" Xiangyun was bold by nature, and now that she was drunk, she asked directly.

Of course, it was Fu Shi who was in trouble. Seeing Fu Qiufang's beauty, Jia Wei took advantage of the situation and used threats and bribes to bring her to his house.

"Her brother was implicated in a treason case and was implicated and sent to the Jiaofang Bureau. I met that Fu Shi once, and I felt sorry for her, so I bribed the officials of the Ministry of Justice to bring her to the mansion to avoid being defiled."

Hearing Jia Wei's words, Xiangyun's eyes turned red, "Second Brother Wei is really a man of love and righteousness..."

Jia Wei waved his hand, "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."

Xiangyun was impressed by his magnanimity and said slowly: "Her brother committed a crime, what did she, a girl, do wrong..."

Yingchun said: "This is the way the world is. Treason is a serious crime that cannot be forgiven."

Xiangyun gritted her teeth and shook her head, seeming very unconvinced, and sighed: "If I get into trouble in the future, I don't know who will save me..."

"Yun'er!" Yuanchun shouted, "You're already talking nonsense when you're drunk."

"Your Shi family has two marquises, and wealth and honor are yet to come!"

All the girls tried to persuade her at once, but Xiangyun's words went deep into their hearts.

Nowadays, women obey their fathers at home and their husbands after marriage. Whether they are rich and prosperous or miserable is all dependent on men. Few women can decide their own destiny...

For a moment, it seemed as if a layer of shadow covered the heads of all the women, and they inevitably became sentimental.

Suddenly Jia Wei laughed and said, "What are you thinking about? Sister Yun, as long as you still call me Second Brother Wei, I will come to rescue you."

The girls were all stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at Jia Wei. He looked calm and continued, "As long as I am here, I will definitely protect you all for your whole life. I, Jia Wei, have passed the military examination and entered the government, and I have been crowned a king and appointed a prime minister. But if I cannot protect you sisters, I would be unworthy of being a man!"

All the girls were stunned. The man that Tanchun, Yingchun and Xiangyun had the most contact with in the past was Baoyu.

Although Baoyu treated them well, he was not like a man, but like a sister...

Now that they were in Jia Wei, they felt his generosity, the responsibility and commitment of a man, and experienced Jia Wei's courage and the feeling of being protected. For a moment, the women were a little crazy...

Yuanchun looked at Jia Wei infatuatedly, Tanchun had bright eyes, and Yingchun suddenly remembered the scene by the pond and couldn't help feeling a little drunk.
