[Red Mansions] Male wife

Chapter 10 Prelude to Engagement

Jia Xiuyun came back with the Fragrant Concubine Cake, and cheerfully ordered Danhong to serve it to Aunt Zhao.Aunt Zhao looked at her favorite dim sum with a sad face, but she couldn't eat a single bite.Jia Xiuyun turned his head sideways and looked at her with a smile.Today, Aunt Zhao is a little strange. A few days ago she was so excited because she changed her living environment, why can't she eat anymore.

"Auntie, is something on your mind?"

Aunt Zhao looked at her son guiltily, and stuttered for a long time without uttering a word.She sighed suddenly, stretched out her hand to hold Jia Xiuyun's hand, and shed tears.Jia Xiuyun doesn't know what's wrong with her, the woman's heart is in the bottom of the sea, and he may not be able to study it through his whole life.Since Aunt Zhao refused to tell, he didn't bother to ask, and patted Aunt Zhao on the back comfortingly.

After dinner, Jia Xiuyun saw that Aunt Zhao was still silent, so he sat by the side and accompanied her, reading a book and reviewing what he had learned today.

"Second master is here." Xiao Jixiang rushed into the room to announce, and smiled at Aunt Zhao;Little Jixiang wisely shut up and stood aside to wait.

Jia Xiuyun also found that something was wrong with Aunt Zhao. If she was usually angry and depressed, it would only happen for a while, but as soon as Jia Zheng came, all her troubles disappeared. Today, even Jia Zheng is not easy to use.Just as Jia Xiuyun was wondering, his hand was suddenly grabbed by Aunt Zhao.

"Third Master, we don't live here, we move back to Kuayuan." Aunt Zhao said firmly.

"I look fine, why don't you stay here?" Jia Zheng entered the door cheerfully, happened to hear this sentence, and asked her patiently.

"Master!" Aunt Zhao greeted him respectfully, helped him to sit down, and then stood there like a log without saying a word.

Jia Zheng laughed for a while, seeing that Aunt Zhao was still unmoved, he stroked his beard in embarrassment, looked at Jia Xiuyun kindly, and asked him what was wrong with Aunt Zhao.Jia Xiuyun shook his head, he didn't quite understand just now, but seeing that Aunt Zhao wasn't even interested in Jia Zheng anymore; he seemed to have a clue, most likely it was related to him, she could be so preoccupied, it must be when someone treated her during the day Putting pressure on her and bullying her is less knowledgeable and scarier.

Jia Xiuyun felt annoyed in his stomach, clenched his fists in anger, and scolded them for bullying too much in his heart.Jia Xiuyun was extremely dissatisfied, since Jia Zheng was implicated, he didn't bother to talk to him anymore.

Aunt Zhao didn't speak, Jia Xiuyun didn't speak, and Jia Zheng looked at the mother and son dryly for a long time, not knowing what to say.After two cups of tea, his patience was exhausted, and his complexion began to look ugly, but in order to take care of the overall situation and get through tomorrow safely, Jia Zheng made an exception and did not show his mother and son his face and lose his temper.

"Xiuyun, you should know that people like General Pei are not easy to offend, and this marriage may not be bad. I know you feel wronged, so why not? Tell me what you think, and I'll see if I can do it." solve."

"If father really thinks about me, I don't need to speak up." Jia Xiuyun smiled at him miserably, wanting to hear his conditions?no way.

Even if he proposes it, will they agree?I'm afraid that I won't get anything by then, so I will drop the talk.He is a concubine, at best he is a young master, but at worst, he is as humble as a favored maid.Yuanyang, Ping'er, etc. were paid so much attention by servants, but he and Aunt Zhao had never been treated like this before.Besides, he is going to marry to be a man and wife, just like marrying a daughter. Which woman dares to use marriage as a threat to negotiate conditions with her parents and elders.This is ancient times, and things like reputation and filial piety are more important than anything else.From bottom to top in the Rong Mansion, there is no one who speaks honestly, so there is no need to worry that the bad news will not be heard by outsiders.

Jia Zheng frowned, speechless at his son's words.He still wanted to reason, but he was afraid that it would be the situation that day again, so he could only hold back his anger.The general's wife will be here tomorrow, and tomorrow's business is the first priority.Jia Zheng sighed in disappointment, pointed at Jia Xiuyun, shook his head helplessly and left.

"Xiuyun, what should I do?" Aunt Zhao saw the attitude of the master just now, and she understood that this marriage is not something that she can just move back to Kuayuan. .”

Jia Xiuyun chuckled lightly: "She finally vomited out after holding it in for so many days."

"Xiuyun, what should we do?" Aunt Zhao was circling on the ground anxiously.

"Auntie,"

"Oh, what should I do?" Aunt Zhao continued to turn, almost crying in anxiety.

"Auntie," Jia Xiuyun supported Aunt Zhao, and begged her to stop spinning, otherwise she would be fainted.Aunt Zhao looked at her son in panic, her eyes were full of distress.Jia Xiuyun quickly smiled and said: "Don't worry, Auntie, I didn't say anything about this marriage and I will fight to the end and not change my mind."

"Yes, fight to the end!" Aunt Zhao finished yelling harshly, and then she realized what her son said just now, and opened her mouth in surprise and asked, "Are you—will you marry?"

"It seems that since the day the general's wife came to the door, I have no room for maneuver. I will say that I don't agree, but I just want to make those people uncomfortable; whoever makes them have bad intentions will bully us." Today's situation came suddenly, Jia Xiuyun couldn't figure it out, after a few days of deliberation, he felt that there was nothing wrong with agreeing, and besides, he was not qualified to refuse.Jia Zheng, Jia Mu, etc. will respect him and flatter him at this moment, just because they don't want to make this marriage stiff.Jia Xiuyun felt that this was an opportunity that could be used, and it might not be possible if there were too many, but there was one thing that was very likely to be realized, and that was Aunt Zhao's slave status.

In a situation like Aunt Zhao’s, it is very troublesome to go to slavery; her master Jia Zheng needs to go to the Yamen to go through the formalities with the deed of sale. Drop the name.The reason why my aunt's going to slavery is considered "troublesome" is because in this era, there are very few masters who condescend to their noble bodies to do things for their concubines. Good face.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jia Xiuyun quickly told Danhong to send her a report to Wang Xifeng, and he wanted to hear the result tonight.As for this marriage, Jia Xiuyun still has one last thing to confirm.Taking advantage of the darkness, he quietly slipped out through the west corner gate of Rong Mansion...

Yuexiang Building, Tianzi No. [-] elegant room.

The handsome and noble young man in the room had been waiting for a long time, when he saw Jia Xiuyun arrived, he stood up happily to greet him, and ordered the waiter in the shop to withdraw and pass the dishes.Jia Xiuyun looked at the cold food on the table and asked him with a smile if he had been waiting for a long time.

Pei Jin raised his eyebrows indifferently: "It didn't take long before the dish got cold, so I asked someone to serve it again."

"How many times in total?"

Pei Jin didn't count, and turned to look at Xunfeng.Chafeng Mumu said: "Five times in total, counting this time, six times."

"Oh, it's only been five times, and you'll be here when I say your butt isn't hot." Pei Jin asked Jia Xiuyun to sit beside him, Jia Xiuyun smiled politely, and sat opposite him.Pei Jin raised his eyebrows unhappily, with an arrogant face, "You despise me?"

"You like me?" Jia Xiuyun spoke at almost the same time as Pei Jin.

After finishing speaking, both of them were stunned, and their eyes met.

"Yes, I like you." Pei Jin answered Jia Xiuyun bluntly, assuming a natural posture, without embarrassment.

Jia Xiuyun narrowed his eyes, secretly marveling at the other party's reaction.Is this really like?When most people confess their love to someone they like, they will be shy, embarrassed, or at least a little nervous.Why is this guy so straightforward, and what he said is cleaner than drinking water.

Damn, this can also be called liking!

Jia Xiuyun couldn't figure out the real state of the other party, and refused to admit that he had miscalculated, but felt that it was because of the other party's too weird relationship.

Pei Jin kept staring at the person across from him, and it was very interesting to see his expression alternately surprised and anxious.He doesn't get tired of watching him, just do it and watch him for one night, two nights, three nights...

Pei Jin frowned, and began to deny himself: Three nights will definitely not be possible, he will definitely not be able to resist using his hands up and down to overwhelm him.
