Chapter 176 The Improper Golden Finger
However, Jia Cong was a brother to Prince Beijing, and Prince Beijing showed "differentiation between close and distant relatives", so he could not speak out to refuse on Baoyu's behalf at this moment, otherwise the reputation of being a discordant brother and jealous would surely spread. Jia Zheng and Baoyu were so happy that they probably did not think of this at all.
The others naturally noticed it as well, but now was not the time to speak.
However, Prince Beijing did not stay long. He just chatted for a few more words and then got up to say goodbye!
Everyone returned to the hall. Jia Cong looked at everyone in the room and saw that no one wanted to speak. He could only wink at Wang Ziteng. Anyway, he couldn't say much about Baoyu at the moment, and Wang Ziteng was Baoyu's uncle, so it wouldn't hurt for him to say a few more words.
"Baoyu!"
Wang Ziteng shouted softly, and Baoyu hurried forward, only to hear Wang Ziteng say, "Although the prince is kind, he is still a prince after all. In the future, if it is not necessary, it is better not to meet with the prince! And no matter how close the prince is, you can't lose your manners!"
Baoyu felt a little indignant. Everyone in the room was a bunch of parasites. Finally, a clean person came, but he was not allowed to get close to her. What was the logic?
However, he was somewhat afraid of Wang Ziteng , so he didn't dare to say much.
Not long after, a banquet was held in the mansion, and all the gentlemen began to drink happily . Only Jia Cong, who had not yet healed his injuries, kept urging people to drink. Everyone was happy and the banquet was lively.
Baoyu only ate half of it and then slipped away when Jia Zheng and Wang Ziteng were not paying attention. What's the point of drinking with these people?
He walked all the way to Ningzheng Hall, where there were imperial edicts from various mansions. Baoyu was not interested in these people either. He asked about the whereabouts of the sisters and went to the east wing. Sure enough, all the sisters were there.
"If you really were here, it would be very boring outside!" As he said this, he stepped forward and tried to squeeze between Daiyu and Baochai.
Baochai and Daiyu subconsciously moved closer and blocked the gap in the middle. Then Baochai said, "Ying'er, why don't you add a chair for Brother Bao!"
Ying'er understood what she meant and placed a chair next to Tanchun, opposite them. Before Baoyu could react, Zijuan, who was beside Daiyu, pulled Baoyu and said, "Second Master, please sit down!"
After sitting down, Baoyu felt a little unhappy, but he didn't want to stand up again.
However, at least all the sisters were there, and he was happy again! He drank two glasses of wine and then complained, "Cong Lao San is cheating me. The group of people outside are so filthy and there is no innocent person. If there is a next time, I would rather die at home than go."
Baochai and Daiyu could not help but frown. Xiangyun was quick-witted and said directly, "Can you blame Third Brother for this? I don't know how many people would beg for this opportunity, but Second Brother Bao is not happy?"
"Humph! What opportunities do I need? They are all talking about economic careers. Who has any spiritual energy at all?"
"My two uncles are here, Uncle Wang is here, and my second uncle is here. If my second uncle hears what you said, he will definitely beat you with a stick!"
Tanchun, who was standing by, was afraid that something might happen, so she quickly grabbed Xiangyun and said, "Don't you know Brother Bao's temper? Why are you so angry?"
"Third sister, when we came today, all the brothers in the family wanted to come, but they just couldn't. Only the two brothers who were familiar with you came. Why didn't you see this opportunity to make friends? If you hang out with us all day, how can you set up a family in the future?"
The more Baoyu listened, the more impatient he became. "Sister Yun is so cliché? Must she support her family with these dirty and smelly things? Prince Beijing is also a god-like figure, handsome and gentle, but he still supports the palace, right?"
Speaking of Prince Beijing, Baoyu immediately became proud. He took out the Wagtail Fragrance Beads that Prince Beijing had given him and ran to Daiyu to present him with a treasure, saying, "Sister Lin, look, this is the Wagtail Fragrance Beads that Prince Beijing gave me. He said it was a gift from the emperor. Do you like it, Sister Lin? How about I give it to you?"
Daiyu didn't even look at it, "I don't want anything that has been touched by any stinky man!"
Daiyu thought, the bracelet that Third Brother gave me was a red sandalwood bracelet given by the Queen, how could it not be more precious than a bracelet given by a prince? Moreover, Third Brother had held my hand before, and several maids had seen it. If I took this bracelet, wouldn't it make Third Brother think too much?
Daiyu's indifference made Baoyu a little embarrassed. He subconsciously looked at Baochai who was standing beside him. But before he could say anything, Baochai smiled and said, "Since this is a gift from the prince to Brother Bao, how can you easily give it to someone else? Wouldn't that make the prince unhappy?"
Baoyu had no choice but to return to his seat in disappointment.
Most of the guests in the front yard were drunk, except for the younger generations who couldn't let themselves go in front of the elders, so they didn't drink too much!
Jia Cong also went to visit the children of the side branches, the female relatives and the girls. When he saw Baoyu eating at Daiyu's table, Jia Cong didn't say much. He just chatted for a few words and then came back.
After all the old relatives had left, Jia Cong saw that the old lady was still in high spirits, so he asked her to order two plays for them to watch, and then everyone took a rest.
The next morning, after serving the old lady her meals, she returned to the West Mansion with everyone else.
Although the girls had not had enough fun, they had no choice but to accompany the old lady back first.
That night, there was finally nothing to do, so Jia Cong went to Keqing's courtyard early! In the past few days since he came back, the sisters have been there all the time, and they often play in Ningzheng Hall, so Jia Cong naturally couldn't go there.
It's a pity that although Jia Cong felt that his injuries were no longer a problem, Keqing was afraid that Jia Cong would be injured, so she could only watch with envy.
In a flash, more than ten days had passed. Counting the time, it had been half a month since he left the palace. The imperial physician changed Jia Cong's dressings every day, and his injuries healed very quickly. The original mottled scars had all faded and turned into a fresh pink color! Especially last night, Keqing finally made Jia Cong entangled, and seeing that Jia Cong was indeed fine, she endured her shyness and enjoyed the pleasure of love.
Early in the morning, Jia Cong was slowly doing boxing in the yard. "Could it be that doing this kind of thing is good for my recovery?"
Jia Cong thought to himself that his strange golden finger really had some unorthodox properties! The last time he and Keqing had sex, he could clearly feel that his strength and speed had increased a lot. After , his injuries healed almost two or three times faster than normal.
