Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 316 Owing a favor

Jia Cong burped, glared at Baoyu, and said, "What the hell?"

Jia Huan is also most afraid of this thing. If Jia Cong hadn't been here, he would have run away.

Xiangyun smiled and said, "Brother Ai, do you have any good intentions?"

Baoyu smiled and said: "That's natural. I created it myself. I guarantee you won't be stubborn."

Baochai smiled and said, "Tell me and listen."

Baoyu said: "I'll drink a cup first, and I'll be your order. You just listen to my instructions. This drinking order is also simple. You must say the four words "Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon" on the top of the wine. The bottom of the wine must be said. The relationship between one of them and my daughter is not limited to poems, songs, or ancient sayings, as long as it makes sense."

"It's quite novel." Everyone laughed.

Something wrong! Jia Cong and Jia Huan looked at each other and secretly cursed Baoyu's order because the word "daughter" couldn't be separated from it.

"Sister Bao, I really don't know how to be naughty. Just tell me something for me." Jia Cong whispered.

"There are so many people, how can I help you." Baochai glanced at everyone quietly and shook his head.

"What a pretty girl..."

"Bah, I'm here to help you, think of a way on your own." Daiyu rolled her eyes at him, ruthlessly shattering his hopes.

Baoyu said: "Let me tell you one thing first. The wind, the fragrant fragrance chases the evening breeze; the flowers, the first flowers falling in the east wind; the snow, the window contains the snow of Qianqiu in the West Ridge; the moon, the peach blossom moon is half covered by the screen."

"Okay!" Everyone nodded in praise.

"The bottom of the wine is that I was drunk at the time, and the beauty was as beautiful as a flower." Baoyu said with a smile, finished the order, and took a sip of the door cup.

"Well said." Everyone smiled and nodded, "Sister Bao is the host, it's Sister Bao's turn to say it."

Baochai smoothed her hair around her ears and said with a smile, "Then I'll show my shame."

"The wind, I don't know if there is a spring breeze when it blooms or falls; the flowers, people at the city gate are sweeping away the fallen flowers; the snow, scattered down to the world like spring snow; the moon, the seven-scented car crushing the Yao and the moon."

"Okay." Everyone clapped their hands and praised.

"The bottom of the wine is, the color is fairy dew, the fragrance is girlish."

"Good! Such a girly look." Baoyu clapped her hands and praised.

Baochai raised his glass and took a sip, looking at Jia Cong with a smile.

Jia Cong laughed quietly and said, "Sister Bao really smells good."

"You are still talking nonsense. If you can't tell me later, I will punish you severely." Baochai spat with a slight blush on her pretty face.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "I will accept the punishment and sleep here when I get drunk."

"Rogue." Baochai said angrily.

Daiyu sneered: "It's my turn."

Jia Cong hurriedly turned around. He had already learned how to deal with Daiyu, so he secretly pinched her thigh.

Daiyu immediately broke through and said angrily: "Don't make trouble."

Jia Cong looked innocent: "I didn't do anything."

"If he disobeys the order, punish him."

Everyone is puzzled.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "You see, justice is in the heart of the people."

Daiyu couldn't do anything to him, so she spat out in embarrassment and annoyance.

"Sister Lin, let's talk about the drinking order first," Shi Xiangyun urged.

Daiyu blushed and said: "Wind, yellow leaves smoke deep in the wind; flowers, walking by the pond, leaning on peach blossoms; snow, eyebrows gathered, Hunan smoke sleeves back to the snow; moon, hibiscus flowers in the west, the waning moon. The bottom of the wine is, the spring breeze breaks A girl’s cheeks are as red as peach blossoms.”

"Okay!" Everyone praised.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Qi'er's face really looks like a peach blossom now."

Everyone laughed and said yes.

Daiyu rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "It's your turn. If you can't say anything good, I'll punish you. Pour the wine first."

Jia Cong hadn't thought about it yet and said hurriedly: "I am a guest from Xiangyun. Sister Yun will say it first. Third brother will let you."

Xiangyun was very happy and said with a smile: "Then I will do my duty. The wind, the pear blossoms in the courtyard are full of midnight breeze; the flowers, the clouds are lightly stained with red flowers; the snow, the clouds on the temples want to soak up the fragrant snow on the cheeks; the moon, the moon of the Tianshan Mountains is stirred by singing pipes. .”

"The bottom of the wine is that the clouds are blooming, and the mirror looks like snow."

"well said."

Xiangyun took a sip of wine and looked at Jia Cong.

Jia Cong pointed at Jia Huan and said, "It's your turn."

Jia Huan was a bachelor, so he picked up a bowl of wine and drank it with a gulp, looking as if he was ready to die.

Everyone laughed.

"You," Jia Cong laughed dumbly, thought for a while and said, "The romance I mentioned is different from what you said. It is what the border officers saw and heard."

"Just say it, so many of us can't tell whether it's good or bad?" Daiyu looked like she was waiting to see a joke.

Jia Cong glared at her and said bravely: "The wind is the iron horse autumn wind; the flowers are the yellow flowers on the battlefield; the snow is the snow on the building and the boat at night; the moon is the cold moon at the border. How about it?"

Everyone looked at each other in silence for a moment, Baochai nodded and said with a smile: "Although it is not elegant, it does have a chilling atmosphere."

Jia Cong glanced at Daiyu proudly.

Daiyu said angrily: "Sister Bao, you know how to favor him. You scoundrel, please tell me the bottom of your drink."

"Let me think about it." Jia Cong thought hard for a moment and said, "Yes. Merchant girls don't know the hatred of losing their country, and they still sing the flowers in the backyard across the river." He still remembered these famous lines.

"No, no, no, we all have good things to say. What are you talking about? She is a businesswoman, and her country is subjugated. Isn't it a girl who blames the country for its subjugation?" Daiyu spat.

Jia Cong hurriedly defended: "I said it according to Baoyu's order. Baoyu, tell me whether you have a daughter or not. Do you have flowers?"

Baoyu reluctantly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, but this is what I mean..." What a back garden flower, vulgar.

"It's done. Your Majesty has already spoken. You are not allowed to discuss it any further." Jia Cong said with a smile.

"You are a scoundrel, and you are still an uncle. You are not ashamed to be ashamed." Daiyu stretched out her finger and lightly scratched her cheek, mockingly saying. Jia Cong chuckled and said, "You won't know the subtlety of this poem until later."

Seeing his malicious look, Daiyu spat: "It's nonsense, it's all fallacy."

After laughing for a while, everyone asked Jia Cong to tell about the thrilling scene in the court today. After telling the story, it was late at night and they dispersed.

Jia Cong took Daiyu back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

"Brother Cong, what's the unknown subtlety of those two lines of poetry?" Daiyu was very curious. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't help but asked.

Jia Cong chuckled, shook his head and said, "Buddha said, it cannot be said."

"Bah! If you don't tell me, I will ignore you from now on." Daiyu said coquettishly, stamping her feet.

"You really want to know?"

"Ah."

"Then I said, you are not allowed to be angry or scold me."

"You can tell me how to learn to be verbose."

"Then come over here."

Daiyu leaned over.

"It means..." Jia Cong said while holding back his laughter, pinched Daiyu's butt, turned around and ran away.

"Ah! Bastard! Dirty!" Daiyu was so embarrassed that she covered her face and yelled, then threw herself under the quilt, not daring to show her face. She was so embarrassed.

Jia Cong had already disappeared.

"Miss, are you okay?" Liu Shuang hurriedly came in and asked.

Daiyu lay on the quilt, holding back her shame, and said angrily: "It's okay, Aunt Shuang, go to sleep."

Liushuang couldn't tell that it was her children who were flirting, so she smiled slightly, told Zicuckoo to take good care of her, and left.

Daiyu fell on the bed with her head covered and scolded Jia Cong hundreds of times.

"This perverted guy doesn't know how to learn at all. I won't...be like him in the future."

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but blush again and started to blame myself. Daiyu, you are really out of your mind. You can only think of these bastard things.

It's all the fault of that perverted, bad guy! ——

The next day, Changchun Palace.

Dai Quan came with two young eunuchs, his face full of spring breeze.

"Hey, Mr. Dai, what brought you here?" An Wenyao, the chief eunuch of Changchun Palace, greeted him with a smile.

"Eunuch An," Dai Quan smiled and cupped his hands, "Aren't you here to pay your respects to the empress?"

"Your Majesty is in the palace, please."

"please."

"Slave Dai Quan, please pay your respects to the Queen."

Empress Chen was reading a volume of "The Collected Works of Mr. Chang Li" on the kang. When she saw Dai Quan come in, a smile appeared on her lips, her red lips parted slightly, and she said, "Why should Mr. Dai be so polite? Just stay on your side."

"Your Majesty is so kind to me, how can I be disrespectful?" Dai Quan kowtowed respectfully before standing up.

Empress Chen smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Dai, are you here for something today?"

Dai Quan smiled and said, "In addition to paying my respects to the empress on my behalf, my servant also pays my respects to another person."

"Oh? Who."

"Dang Koubo Jia Cong." Dai Quan said with a smile: "He asked someone to send a message early this morning, saying that he was grateful for the empress's saintliness. Because he was leading the errand of the royal guards, it was inconvenient to enter the palace to ask for an audience at will, so he asked his servant to pay his respects to the empress on his behalf. .

I wish your empress to stay young forever and stay young forever. If there is a purpose, he will risk his life to achieve it. "

Empress Chen covered her mouth and chuckled. Jia Cong was a sensible and well-spoken boy. He was really pitiable. It was worth helping him.

"I know, let's go."

"The slave retire."

"Xiao Anzi, what is Jia Cong doing today?" Queen Chen thought for a while and asked.

"Go back to your Majesty, according to the spies, Dang Koubo went to Princess Ruyi's Mansion early this morning to say thank you." An Wenyao said with a smile.

Empress Chen smiled and nodded: "Any kindness must be repaid, yes, yes. I just don't know if he must avenge himself."

An Wenyao said: "From the perspective of a slave, Dang Koubo is a heroic man who must avenge his kindness and revenge."

"Ah."
-

At this time, this "hero" was like a primary school student being "interrogated" by his teacher, retreating steadily and unable to resist.

Ruyi met Jia Cong in the inner hall last time. After hearing his intention, she said, "How do you want to thank me?"

Jia Cong hurriedly took out a gift slip from his sleeve and presented it, "Your Highness, please take a look."

Princess Ruyi didn't even look at it, threw it aside, and sneered: "You're not sincere, you want to send me away with these vulgar things?"

Jia Cong gritted his teeth and said, "Cong Gu knows that His Highness doesn't like these naughty people, but it's not good to just show up empty-handed. His Highness doesn't like it, so it's better to keep it as a reward."

Princess Ruyi rolled her eyes at him and said, "You know what I mean, sit down."

"Thank you for taking a seat." Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

"Why are you sitting so far away?" Princess Ruyi glared at him. I'm not a tiger. Are you afraid that I will eat you?

ah? Jia Cong looked at the seat in surprise. He was seated correctly. He was in the first seat below the main seat. What's the problem?

"Sit over here." Princess Ruyi looked at the position on the left side of Arhat's bed and motioned for Jia Cong to come up and sit side by side with her.

"This, Cong doesn't dare to overstep." Jia Cong cupped his hands and said.

"Bah! I didn't realize you were such a rule-abiding person. You're visiting a girl's boudoir at night, you're occupying your family's property, and you're taking concubines behind your back. Huh, now I ask you to sit somewhere else, but you won't Dare you?" Princess Ruyi snorted coldly.

"You...you know everything?" Jia Cong had the illusion of being stripped naked, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I have already inquired about your nonsense. Don't you know that Sister Bao and Sister Lin are good sisters?" Princess Ruyi said proudly.

In the past two years, she has gotten to know Jia Cong thoroughly.

Jia Cong had no choice but to surrender and sit down. He had no choice but to say that he owed her a favor.
