[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

Gu Hong looked at her shy face, laughed loudly, and immediately hugged Second Sister You and sat on his body.

Second Sister You whispered, "Master—"

As if frightened, he wrapped his hands around his neck and pressed his body tightly against his.

The warm, fragrant and soft feeling coming from close to the body made Gu Hong's breathing suddenly heavy. The woman on her body leaned against her as if she had no bones, and the undulating hills on her chest danced with her breathing.Gu Hong couldn't help but snorted softly, and then tightened his arms even more tightly.

He lowered his head, put his lips close to her neck, ran his hands through her hair, and smelled the fragrance of her hair, "What kind of hair oil do you use, why is it so fragrant?"

Second Sister You blushed while struggling, "I don't usually like hair oils, I just think the smell is too strong, but the master smelled it wrong."

Gu Hong sniffed deeply again, his voice was low and hoarse, "Oh, it seems to be born with it."

His breath sprayed on her neck, Second Sister You was so tickled by her teasing, she couldn't help laughing, and she didn't forget to push him away, "Master will make fun of me."

Second Sister You was pretending to break free, but Gu Hong was so strong that he retracted his arm abruptly, but Second Sister You couldn't move at all, with spring water in her eyes, she said angrily, "Master, let me go quickly, this is against the rules."

Gu Hong lifted her chin with his index finger, and said with a smile, "Why is it against the rules for me to hug my woman?"

"Master..." Second Sister You knew what these people were thinking best.Knowing who the woman in front of him was, he still wanted to see her refuse or welcome him.That being the case, why didn't she cooperate well.

"Master doesn't accompany Mrs. Gu to Qingxu Temple, isn't she angry?"

Gu Hong played with a strand of her hair, lowered his eyes and said, "She won't be angry because of such a trivial matter, besides, my wife will also go, I don't want to face her old face and cause a whole body of unhappiness .”

Second Sister You nestled in his arms as obediently as a rabbit, "I've heard that the second lady is dignified and virtuous, how could it be like what you said, maybe there is some misunderstanding in it?"

Gu Hongman casually kissed her on the face, "Is there any misunderstanding, she has always been this kind of person, how can you be quiet and obedient?"

Second Sister You smiled softly, "Master is talking nonsense again, I come from a humble background, how can I compare to Second Madam?"

Gu Hong snorted softly, "It's just that her background is better. In terms of gentleness and caring, she doesn't have the slightest bit of tolerance."

Hearing this, Second Sister You was delighted in her heart, but she didn't show it in the slightest, she just seemed more and more shy.

Originally, she put the treasure on Gu Xingchi, but unfortunately, after more than a month, Gu Xingchi did not see half a shadow. Instead, she heard a lot of rumors about the love between Sister Feng and Gu Xingchi .

Thinking about Sister Feng's looks, family background, and demeanor, it's hard to match her, and she's about the same age as her, so what's so special about her that Gu Xingchi should treat her differently?

She originally thought that Gu Xingchi didn't dare to take concubines because of fear of internal affairs, and Sister Feng was also a vicious person, but she went to Gu's house many times, and she clearly saw a gentle and generous Mrs. Hou. 'Shadow?Moreover, the maids brought by Sister Feng were all extremely beautiful, and she didn't guard them strictly just because she was afraid that Gu Xing would take them later and not allow them to serve by her side.

From this point of view, the rumors outside are not true.Gu Xingchi should really love Sister Feng so much that he doesn't want to take a concubine.If this is the case, no matter how hard she tries, it will be useless, and it will only increase the laughingstock. As time goes by, Sister Feng will definitely notice her dirty thoughts, and how will she deal with herself then?

Just when she was hesitating, she ran into Gu Hong.Once or twice is enough, but after meeting five times by chance, Second Sister You noticed something.Therefore, she became ruthless and gave up on Gu Xingchi.Although when she thought of Gu Xingchi's status and appearance, she still felt unwilling, but she couldn't do it, so she could only settle for the next best thing.

Gu Hong was much better than Jia Zhen, and he was also generous to her, sending gold and silver jewelry or silver taels over from time to time, even Mrs. You took care of her.Seeing that Gu Hong really cared about Second Sister You, Mrs. You pretended to evade it, and agreed accordingly.

But Third Sister You was very angry and refused to accept Gu Hong's charity.

Now the courtyard she lives in is in Lihua Lane, and Gu Hong paid for it for her. It is very close to Jing'an Hou's Mansion, the location is good, and all the furnishings in the room are good, so she is quite satisfied.

Gu Hong also often comes to her side. A woman like her is best at comforting men with gentle words. Whenever Gu Hong is in a bad mood, he will calm down when he comes to Second Sister You's side.

After several visits, Gu Hong didn't simply regard her as something fresh and used to relieve boredom, but also regarded her as a flower of interpretation.But... when he thought about the matter between her and Jia Zhen and his son, he was still a little delicate, and from time to time he suspected that her understanding was just pretending to please him.

The room suddenly fell silent, Second Sister You suddenly got up and sighed.

Gu Hong came back to his senses and let go of his hand, "Why are you sighing?"

Second Sister You got off him and stood in front of him with tears in her eyes.

Gu Hong was a little stunned, "What's wrong, who bullied you?"

Second Sister You wiped away her tears and forced a smile, "Who dares to bully me with Master here? Just thinking about the past, I feel ashamed and sorry Master."

Gu Hong immediately withdrew his outstretched hand, stared at Second Sister You's face, and said nothing.

Second Sister You bit her lip, her face was full of rouge, her tears were glistening, and the pear blossoms were raining, which made people feel pity.

"Originally, this matter was rotten in my stomach, and I never dared to say it. However, these days, I can see that the master really treats me well. What face do I have to hide all this? I'm not good enough for the master, I shouldn't have the audacity to stay with the master..." As she spoke, she wiped her tears casually with a handkerchief, and turned away to prevent Gu Hong from seeing her red eye circles.

Seeing her appearance, Gu Hong's heart moved, his lips parted, and he still asked: "Why did you say that? In my opinion, you have always been an obedient, sensible woman..."

Second Sister You choked up and said, "Master misunderstood me, I'm sorry Master."

"What happened, you tell me clearly."

Second Sister You suddenly knelt down in front of Gu Hong, Gu Hong moved his hand, but still did not help her up.

Second Sister You was surprised that Gu Hong didn't help her up.

But things have come to this point, and there is no turning back.She looked up at Gu Hong, "Since I have decided to speak out, I will never regret it even if I am rejected by the master."

After a pause, she said with embarrassment that she had been engaged to Zhang's family and had an affair with Jia Zhen and his son, and Gu Hong's expression turned into shock, anger and pain just right.

What she thought in her heart was, is Second Sister You stupid? Why did she reveal all such dirty things? Isn't she afraid that he really hates her?Or was she really moved by his 'sincerity', felt guilty and couldn't bear to cheat?

Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up and looked at Second Sister You with a kind of "love-hate" eyes, "You... you actually... I thought that even though you were my concubine , but she is a kind-hearted and simple-minded woman in her bones. I didn't realize that, you actually, unexpectedly..."

He didn't seem to want to say any more, and he covered his face and fell silent.

At this moment, Second Sister You's heart was really flustered, but the play still had to continue, she cried and said: "If the master is willing to listen to me, I will even die to make amends."

Gu Hong looked at her with a complicated expression, "What else do you want to say?"

Second Sister You smiled wryly, "Master only knows about me and Jia Zhen and his son, but have you ever wondered why I should commit myself to them? Although I come from a humble background, I am also the daughter of an innocent family, and I have a long-standing marriage contract. Why do I behave like this?" Not self-respecting? This kind of thing is not good, it is ruined, what reason do I have to bring shame on myself?"

Gu Hong was taken aback by the question.

That's right, she only knew about the dirty things about Second Sister You and Jia Zhen's father and son, but she never thought about why she was so promiscuous?Second Sister You's appearance is first-class, and there is another sister who is the wife of Ningguo Mansion. It is not a problem for her to marry a good family. Why should she hang out with her brother-in-law and nephew? Could there be something hidden in it?

Second Sister You pretended not to see Gu Hong's suspicion, and continued: "At first, I also wanted to get married with peace of mind. But my family was poor, so I could only brazenly go to Rongguo Mansion to ask my sister for help. Who knows, my brother-in-law is a womanizer. While my sister was not around, she wanted to tease me and said some embarrassing things, so I fled immediately. One day, my sister invited me, my mother, and younger sister to my house as guests. After a few extra glasses of wine, I let it go. The servant girl arranged to go to a guest room to rest, but who would have woken up..."

Before she finished speaking, she couldn't help crying bitterly.

"Jia Rong and his father are of the same breed, and he is also... related to the innocence of his daughter's family. If I tell people how to meet people? It doesn't matter if I die. What about my mother, sisters and sisters? I can swallow my anger. Later, Jia Zhen and his son threatened me with this matter to follow him. I thought my body was not clean anyway, so I broke my jar and fell out, so I hung out with them.

Although this matter was forced by Jia Zhen and his son, I was also at fault, so I thought I was not good enough for Mr. Zhang, so I tried every means to withdraw the engagement.Originally, I thought that I would just live my life in a muddle and let those scums spoil me, but I met the master, and it was the master who helped me escape the sea of ​​suffering.I am not a heartless person, the master treats me sincerely, I am grateful in my heart, but feel more guilty, so after thinking about it, I decided to tell all these things, even if the master wants to drive me away, I will have no complaints.This is the mistake I made, I don't deserve to let the master treat me well. "

After hearing Second Sister You's words, Gu Hong was really surprised.

He already knew what Second Sister You was like and what she did, but the difference between what he found out and what Second Sister You said was worlds apart.Second Sister You admitted the affair with Jia Zhen and his son, and also admitted that she was willing to hang out with them later.She didn't find an excuse to defend herself, she just told him so plainly.

Would it be possible for another woman to do this? She put everything at stake to say these words.If she didn't really love him, would she take the initiative to admit these unbearable past events?

He used to think that she was a woman who hated the poor and loved the rich, and only regarded her as a new plaything. Now, it seems that he was wrong. It turns out that she is also a sincere person.

His heart was like being on a frying pan, he felt tormented and extremely irritable, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

After a long silence, he sighed and helped her up.

"Master..." Second Sister You looked surprised.

"After kneeling for so long, my knees should hurt if I don't get up again."

Second Sister You was overjoyed, she made the right bet!

Originally, she was still hesitant, but it was the servant girl Liuying who persuaded her to do so.Fortunately, she listened to Liuying's advice.She could tell that the way Gu Hong looked at her was different from before.When she uses some tricks again, Gu Hong's heart will be hers.

She must reward Liuying well.

......

A group of people came to the foot of Qingxuguan Mountain in a mighty way, but the carriage stopped suddenly, and then they heard many noisy sounds from outside.

Shaoqing, the coachman ran back and said: "The little one went to the front to see. There are too many cars and horses ahead, and the road is blocked."

Sister Feng asked Ping'er to find out who was in front of him. As soon as Ping'er got out of the carriage, Gu Xingchi rode over, "No need to go, there are quite a few noble people ahead."

Sister Feng got out of the carriage, then helped Old Madam Gu down, and said softly, "Be careful."

Mrs. Gu smiled and waved her hands: "My old bones are quite strong, so it's okay."

Soon someone noticed the Gu family's team, and when they saw Mrs. Gu, some ladies and wives came to pay a visit.

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "It's not a coincidence that the old lady came today. There are too many people today, and they all rushed together."

Sister Feng greeted Mrs. Liu and asked, "Which noble family is in front of you?"

Mrs. Liu glanced back and said, "Hey, who else would like to put on such a big show except the Jia family?"

Sister Feng understood, "It seems that the old lady of the Jia family has also come over."

Mrs. Liu was born in a family of generals, with a sharp temper, she couldn't help mocking: "If it wasn't for that old lady who came, how could she put on such a big show? This family is really interesting, but it's just that there is a noble concubine in the family. So proud. No one in the whole family has contributed to the court, but it is only thanks to their daughter that they have achieved their current glory, and they dared to let other nobles behind. Coincidentally, a few days ago, Concubine Rou in the palace also reported that When the news of the pregnancy was announced, the Zhao family came to the mansion to burn incense and pray for blessings when they were happy, but met the Jia family who was ordered by the imperial concubine to come to Qingxu Temple to have a funeral, isn't it because the enemy's road is narrow?"

Sister Feng said lightly: "That's how it is."

The concubine and concubine were fighting openly and secretly, and because Xue Pan killed Concubine Zhao Rou's younger brother, Concubine Rou didn't like Yuan Chun even more.However, Concubine Rou is more favored than Concubine Yuan Chun, the two are pregnant, only Yuan Chun has been promoted, Concubine Rou is still a concubine, how can she not be angry?I must think that it was Yuan Chun who made the trip secretly.

Sister Feng and Gu Xingchi looked at each other and smiled helplessly.The emperor clearly did this on purpose, he just wanted to deepen Concubine Rou's hatred for Yuan Chun.Sister Feng will not be kind enough to help Yuanchun, Yuanchun should just ask for more blessings.

Mrs. Liu's eyes flicked across the faces of the Gu family, and she thought that the Gu family was more valued by His Majesty than the Jia family, and the old lady Gu's grade was also first-class.Look at how humble they are, but the old lady of the Jia family is pretentious.

Because it was ordered by the noble concubine to come to Qingxu temple to hold a funeral ceremony, the Jia family wished that everyone in the capital would know that they originally planned to let other people avoid it, and the Jia family occupied Qingxu temple alone, but they never imagined that so many nobles would come today.The Jia family was angry, but they didn't dare to directly offend so many nobles, so they could only go in with these people.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the road finally opened, and soon, everyone entered one after another.

When entering the Qingxu Temple, the first thing to do is to worship the ancestors of the Gu family, and then go to the meditation room to have tea and rest.

After a long time, Mrs. Gu said: "Okay, let's go away. The season is right now, the scenery is just right, so don't be bored here, just go for a stroll."

This time Jia's family came to Qingxu Temple to hold a funeral ceremony, people from Ningrong and Rongfu were all present, as well as Xue's family.When the Gu family walked around in Qingxu Temple, they naturally saw the grand scene of offering sacrifices.

After walking around, Mrs. Feng said that she was tired from walking and wanted to go back to rest.

Sister Feng just pretended that she couldn't see what she was thinking, and said with a half smile: "Since that's the case, it's hard for us to keep her. Second aunt should go back."

Gu Zhaoyu took Feng Shi's arm, "Mother, I will go back with you too."

Accompanied by Wang Xihe, Gu Xingchi couldn't follow, so he just gave her a few instructions and then went elsewhere.

Along the way, Wang Xihe picked many flowers and prepared to take them back to make garlands.Sister Feng pretended to be dismissive and laughed at her childishness, but she still helped her hold a lot of flower branches.

After a while, Ping'er came back and said something in Sister Feng's ear.Looking at the rows of meditation rooms in the distance, Sister Feng pursed her lips.

There is a room inside, which is dedicated to Qiaojieer's ranking.For her, this is not a person in nothingness, but something that really existed.

Sister Feng was anxious to see Sister Qiao, but she was worried that Wang Xihe would play alone, so she asked Wang Xihe to send her back because she was not feeling well.

When Wang Xihe heard it, he immediately worried: "Otherwise, please ask the doctor to come and take a look. I remember that the doctor Xia is also here."

Sister Feng hurriedly said: "No need, I'm just a little tired, just rest for a while. It's the same for you, you've been outside for a long time, it's time to go back."

Wang Xihe kicked the green grass under his feet, "That's good."

After returning to the meditation room, he learned that His Majesty had summoned Gu Xingchi to enter the palace.On the contrary, Sister Feng felt fortunate that it would be much easier for her to go to see Sister Qiao at night.

In the evening, the sky suddenly began to drizzle lightly, and the rain was lingering, drenching the entire Qingxu Temple.The window was open, a gust of cold wind and drizzle poured in, and the candle flame flickered and almost went out.

Ping'er shivered, hurried to close the window, and brought another coat for Sister Feng to put on.

After a long time, the drizzle still didn't stop, Ping'er said: "Ma'am, shall we go tonight?"

Sister Feng looked down at a candle in front of her with a mysterious expression, "Go, of course."

"However, if the rain does not stop, the road will definitely be muddy, and the road will be slippery in the dark, and there will be danger if you are not careful."

Xiang'er got Sister Feng's order and kept staring at Feng's. At this moment, she suddenly opened the door and came in, "Ma'am, this servant stared at the second lady without blinking according to your order. Only then did I realize that a woman went in. With a sneaky look, the servant will come back to answer you immediately."

Sister Feng stood up and suddenly smiled, "How much she hates me, and even hired a helper to hurt me." After a pause, she continued, "A lot of noble people are here today, right?"

Xiang'er said: "Qingxuguan's incense is at its peak, and noble ladies often come here to burn incense and pray for blessings, or stay for a few days. It is not uncommon for it to be as lively as today. Not just the Jia family, the Zhao family and our family, but also Even the Xu family and the Chen family have people here, let alone other families."

"It's a coincidence." Sister Feng ordered, "Let's go."
