Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 540: A Night of Storms Becomes a New Bride
In June, even in the early morning, it is still hot and stuffy even when you hide in bed.

It was fine when she was asleep, but now she was awake. Daiyu felt extremely hot and stuffy after hiding in the quilt for only a short while.

She couldn't bear it any longer, so she secretly revealed a little of her pretty face, like a fish that finally jumped into the water, breathing heavily...

puff!

Jia Cong really couldn't help laughing out loud.

Daiyu was shy and angry. She glared at Jia Cong and wanted to hide herself back in bed...

"Oh, what are you doing..."

The quilt had half slipped off, and Jia Cong was holding Daiyu's smooth back tightly, pulling her close to him, so that their noses were touching. Daiyu could clearly see that the hair on Jia Cong's face was still shaking slightly.

Without the cover of the quilt, the room seemed to be instantly filled with a faint fragrance, which was Daiyu's unique fragrance. Jia Cong sniffed in fascination, and whispered in Daiyu's ear: "It's still early, Dai'e, can you let your husband taste the sweetness?"

……

The sun rises early in the summer. In fact, when it was just dawn, Nanny Wang had already woken up. She took a few maids to prepare warm water, ready to help her daughter and son-in-law get up and wash.

"According to the rules, we should have kept someone here last night. It was because my son-in-law never likes to be served, so I spared you... Today I will ask the young lady whether we should keep someone outside in the future."

Thinking of her son-in-law's temper, Nanny Wang was happy for her daughter, but also a little troubled by the rules of the courtyard...

Whether it is the Jia family or the Lin family, they are both aristocratic families, and the rules are naturally set long ago.

Like Zijuan and Xueyan, to put it bluntly, they are Daiyu's dowry maids.

But they met a master like Jia Cong who "does not understand romance". I really don't know whether it is their blessing or misfortune. Auntie should give up her dream. I just hope that the son-in-law and the girl can find a good home with these two girls.

"What are you doing? Stop touching me... Please let me go, I can't stand it anymore!"

Before she could even knock on the door, Nanny Wang heard a quarrel in the room.

The few inexperienced girls were stunned at first, then their faces flushed, not knowing what to do.

thump!

It was as if something heavy had fallen, and then Nanny Wang heard Daiyu's scream from inside the room.

"Hey, Brother Cong, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay..."

Nanny Wang couldn't bear it any longer, gritted her teeth and knocked on the door: "Son-in-law, Miss, it's time to get up. We have to serve tea to the master and the mistress later."

what……

It was obvious that Daiyu exclaimed, and then there was the sound of someone getting dressed.

"Mammy, wait a minute..."

Then Daiyu lowered her voice and scolded: "It's all your fault. You're bothering me so early in the morning. Put on your clothes quickly... Stop making trouble... Oh, you're pressing down on my clothes..."

Nanny Wang brought her maid into the room, which was still filled with the decadent atmosphere of last night.

She opened the window, and the cool breeze outside reduced the blush on Daiyu's face by a little. From time to time, she glared at Jia Cong, who had disturbed her so early in the morning, while two maids helped her to wash and dress up.

Nanny Wang personally tidied up the messy bed. After putting away the red color, she deliberately glanced at her daughter.

Fortunately, she is in good spirits. It seems that the uncle really cares for the girl...

Jia Cong, who was slumped in a rocking chair, feeling too lazy to move, naturally noticed Nanny Wang's look and curled his lips.

Don't think that I'm incapable. I'm just afraid of hurting your girl.

Otherwise, why would he have been able to endure it just now? He would definitely be able to fight for three hundred rounds without losing his sword!
……

Last night you were making love with each other, and today you are already a newlywed woman.

Before Daiyu had time to adapt, the two maids, under the instructions of Nanny Wang, had already combed Daiyu's hairstyle into a style only worn by women.

Since she would not be leaving the house today, and for the sake of convenience and comfort, Xueyan did not make Daiyu's hair too complicated, and only combed her hair into the most common bun for women.

Her oiled bun is shiny, and her powdered face smells fragrant.

The gilded and jade-inlaid headpiece, matched with the bright red dragon and phoenix dress, made Daiyu's skin look as white as jade and her delicate face flushed slightly, which made Jia Cong stare at her with his eyes wide open.

Daiyu also noticed Jia Cong's infatuated look. Thinking of the close whispers between them last night and early morning, the shyness and heat that had originally dissipated suddenly resurfaced.

"You lecher are not allowed to look at this!"

Unexpectedly, this coquettish expression not only failed to stop Jia Cong's obsession, but instead made him ignore the other people in the room and come closer and lick Daiyu's delicate and tempting lips.

"It's actually sweet!"

Nanny Wang was fine, but Zijuan and Xueyan were both stunned by Jia Cong's behavior.

Then he turned his face away, covered his mouth and laughed.

This time Daiyu was so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into the ground. She raised her fist to hit Jia Cong in the chest, but he grabbed her hand.

"I like sweet ones best, let me try some more..."

"You're still making trouble, still making trouble!"

The two of them had been close before, but they always avoided others, not like today...

Daiyu wanted to break free from Jia Cong's arms, but as a weak woman, how could she be a match for Jia Cong?

Soon he "took advantage" of her again and ate the rouge on her lips.

When Nanny Wang saw that the young couple had finished their intimacy, she coughed lightly and told the two maids who were watching the fun through gaps between their fingers to dress their daughter again.

……

After a busy day yesterday, the old lady was in high spirits at nightfall.

So this morning, the old lady got up half an hour later than usual.

Rong Xi Tang was full of people, including Master Jing from the East Palace, all of whom were relatives of the Jia family.

"Uncle..."

"This girl still calls me uncle!"

Master She was very happy that his good son finally got married.

Daiyu blushed and called "Master" again, but Master She forced her to change her words and call him "Father".

"My daughter-in-law greets my father. Please have some tea, father!"

"Good good!"

The master was so happy that he immediately had someone carry out a large wooden box.

Jia Cong held his forehead with his hand, his father’s temper was really...great!

The young couple's private savings had increased by tens of thousands of taels, and the gesture of serving tea seemed to be more vigorous.

As a stepmother, Mrs. Xing has lived a good life in recent years. She has the filial piety of two step-sons and she has plenty of money on hand. Naturally, she would not be stingy and embarrass Jia Cong today.

"My daughter-in-law greets my dear mother. Please have some tea!"

Mrs. Xing happily took the teacup offered by Daiyu, took a sip, and then took out a small brocade box.

When the brocade box was opened, a pair of exquisite gold-inlaid jade bracelets were revealed.

This bracelet was obviously made according to Daiyu's wrist. Mrs. Xing put it on Daiyu herself, and it perfectly sets off Daiyu's fair skin.

"My son even looks good wearing it, so this bracelet is worth the money!"

After paying respects to their father-in-law and mother-in-law, Daiyu and Jia Cong kowtowed to the old ladies and uncles one by one to greet them.

Even several brothers and sisters-in-law had to greet them. After going through all the circles, the couple's private money increased a lot...

"Sister Lin is different today!"

Xichun blinked her big eyes, moved closer to Daiyu, rubbed against her constantly, and sniffed at her like a puppy.

Jia Cong stretched out his big hand, pulled Xichun to him, held her little head, and smiled: "From now on, you have to call me sister-in-law, not Sister Lin anymore. If you keep calling me that, be careful or I, Third Brother, will steal your snacks!"

"But I'm used to calling you Sister Lin..."

Daiyu glared at Jia Cong, pulled Xichun back, poked Xichun's cheek, and whispered, "Don't pay attention to him, call me whatever you want."

"Yes, Xi girl, you can yell whatever you want. If your third brother dares to bully you, I, your grandmother, will help you beat him up!"

Ever since Yingchun and Tanchun got married, the old lady always felt that Rong Xi Tang was much quieter.

There are finally more people here today, especially since her granddaughter has come home from marriage. The old lady feels much more energetic.

The atmosphere in the hall was very joyful. The family members finished their breakfast happily and then went about their own business.

Although the court affairs are busy, the emperor will not force his confidants to get married.

Jia Cong and Daiyu still had twelve days of wedding leave. After chatting with the old lady in Rong Xi Hall for a while, they went back to their room to rest.

After tossing and turning for half the night, Daiyu was already tired.

In her daze, she could feel a pair of unruly hands moving up and down.

But she was too lazy to care, and after refusing three or two times to no avail, she just let Jia Cong do whatever he wanted...

They slept until after noon. The old lady had already instructed the servants not to disturb the two people who were resting.

When Jia Cong, feeling refreshed, walked out of the house, he discovered that Er Gouzi had been guarding the gate of the courtyard.

"Third Master, something big has happened..."

……

As the "gossip girl" of Rongguo Mansion, Ergouzi has planted countless spies throughout the capital.

As long as there is any movement in the capital, there is little that can escape his eyes and ears.

If the biggest excitement in the capital yesterday was the third master Cong of Rongguo Mansion marrying Princess Wen'an with a grand wedding, then the biggest excitement today is that someone beat up the prime minister of the dynasty!
"What did you say? Elder Zhou was beaten?"

Jia Cong felt his head buzzing. This was too bizarre. Who would have the courage to hit the chief minister of the cabinet and the prime minister of Daxia?

Er Gouzi bowed and said, "I didn't believe it at first, so I went to the Prime Minister's residence. It is true that someone beat the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister was seriously injured. The palace also sent a special doctor, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally brought the doctor to the Prime Minister's residence."

Jia Cong could no longer sit still. He was about to ask someone to prepare the car and go out, but Er Gouzi stopped him with his hand.

"Don't worry, Third Master. The Prime Minister sent someone here to tell you not to get involved in this matter. It's best to just stay at home and not get involved in anything!"

Ergouzi is a retainer of the Jia family, so naturally he would not lie about such a big matter.

Upon hearing this, Jia Cong stopped what he was doing and slowly calmed down.

"Have you found out who arranged this? He dared to hit the prime minister. Not everyone has the courage to do this!"

The prime minister of the current dynasty has a position equivalent to that of the crown prince.

Throughout the dynasty, apart from the retired emperor and the emperor, even Crown Prince Liu Hong did not have as much power as Zhou Jiong.

Truly second to none, and above ten thousand.

If anyone dares to attack Zhou Jiong, as long as Zhou Jiong wants that person to die, all he needs to do is give him a look and the Three Officials will charge him with treason, and all his nine clans will have to go to Caishikou.

"As soon as the Prime Minister left home early in the morning, he was stopped by someone, who said that he had been wronged... Just when the Prime Minister got out of the car to question him, he was hit on the nose with his fist... The murderer had been detained by Shuntian Prefecture, but was soon taken over by the Northern Pacification Office. According to the news from the Northern Pacification Office, the man was angry that the Prime Minister wanted to re-interpret the classics of the saints, so..."

Hit with a fist?

The news also came out from the Northern Pacification Office!

Strange things!

Jia Cong has calmed down completely now and is able to use his fists. Wouldn't it be better to reveal his true intentions before he gets to the point?

"I have also asked the person who came to the palace to deliver the message today. Although the Prime Minister did not suffer any broken bones, the imperial physician said that the Prime Minister is already in his seventies. He was suddenly injured today and suffered a concussion. He must rest at home..."

That's a concussion. It would be fine if it happened to a young and strong person.

Zhou Jiong is already in his seventies. If he suffers a cerebral hemorrhage or something, it will be a big trouble.

Jia Cong shouted into the room, "Sister Lin... Madam, have someone get some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine and send it to Lord Zhou's residence!"

crunch...

The door was opened and Daiyu stood at the door with a book in her hand.

"Your subordinate greets the young madam. Hello, young madam!"

Daiyu raised her hand to stop Ergou from bowing and asked, "Ergou, you don't have to be so polite. What happened? Why do you want to send blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine to Lord Zhou's family?"

……

When Ergou recounted the story of Zhou Jiong being beaten, Daiyu's expression became strange.

"Is this a setup, old man? After being hit by this punch, I'm afraid those people won't be able to cause trouble for a while."

Although Zhou Jiong was not as influential as Wei Wenzheng in the official circles, he was still a prime minister of the cabinet and a leader of the literary world today.

An old man in his seventies was punched in the face because he wanted to reinterpret the classics of a saint. He was left lying in bed unable to move...

Regardless of whether this person was arranged by Zhou Jiong himself, this punch can indeed temporarily suppress the recent turmoil in the officialdom.

"That's true, but it's too dangerous. How old is Lord Zhou? If anyone is going to get beaten, it should be me!"

Jia Cong always believed that Zhou Jiong wanted to confront the current academic cliques because of his persuasion and instigation that day.

Now that the old man was beaten, no matter whether he arranged it or not, Jia Cong felt bad.

If that punch had been a little harder, the old man would probably have had to go play chess with Wei Wen Zheng in advance!
Daiyu also knew her husband's character, so she held Jia Cong's hand and said, "Don't think too much. Since Lord Zhou has already made arrangements, let's just stay here. With Lord Zhou's wisdom and methods, those people will definitely not get away with it this time!"

joke!

He is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet and one of the most powerful people in the country.

I'm afraid that after this punch today, the fight that was originally just a verbal fight will escalate into a bloody fight.

Jia Cong also realized the changes that would be caused by the punch that Old Master Zhou received. After thinking for a while, he said to Er Gou, "After you deliver the medicine to the Prime Minister's Mansion, do not stay outside. Go to the News Department immediately to ask Brother Bao to come back. Tell him that I have something important to discuss with him!"
