Chapter 265 Yu'er, You're So Beautiful
After having a feast at Lixiangyuan and playing with a group of sisters for a while, Jia Cong did not return to the East Palace until dark.
The next day, Jia Cong let Xiao Que'er and the others play by themselves, and he went to the West Mansion early to greet the old lady, and then went to Daiyu's courtyard. After everyone dispersed yesterday, Jia Cong sneaked back to chat with Baochai for a long time, and went back to the East Mansion to accompany Keqing. They were both women he had chosen, so naturally he could not favor one over the other.
Besides, Daiyu has the temper of a little hedgehog. If I really don’t come, she will probably be angry.
As soon as they entered the yard, Xueyan, who happened to come out of her room, bowed happily and said, "The Third Master is here?"
In the room, Daiyu heard Xueyan's voice, and her heart was filled with joy and her face blushed. Was this third brother really coming to eat the meal she had hosted?
As they were talking, Jia Cong had already entered the room.
"I have come all the way here, why doesn't Miss Lin come to greet me?" Jia Cong sat beside Daiyu without thinking, "Zijuan, why don't you bring out your daughter's good tea?"
Zijuan smiled like an aunt and got the tea directly.
Jia Cong gently held Daiyu's hand and said, "Sister Lin, I've been traveling south for two or three months. Have you missed me?"
Daiyu felt as if her heart was about to jump out and as if she couldn't breathe. She covered her face with a handkerchief out of shame, feeling her face burning: "How could Third Brother be so shameless as to say such words? How can I start talking to him?"
"I'm not a bad person, why did Third Brother come to my place?"
Jia Cong laughed out loud. This little jealous guy was so adorable. "My sister Lin is here. I miss her so much. How can I not come over?"
"Who do you want me to think about? Don't say anything nonsense, Third brother!" Daiyu blushed with shame, but she was extremely happy in her heart. Third brother really liked her.
"What nonsense! I have already made arrangements with Uncle Lin in Jiangnan!" Jia Cong said proudly.
Daiyu looked at Jia Cong eagerly, waiting for his next words, but Jia Cong was drinking the tea handed to him by Zijuan, looking contented and had no intention of saying anything else.
"Third brother is not a good person!" Daiyu said with a pout.
Jia Cong chuckled and didn't care at all!
"Ah, I didn't get a good rest last night. It's a good opportunity for me to take a short nap on Sister Lin's bed!" Jia Cong said, and walked towards Daiyu's inner room.
Jia Cong was not talking nonsense. He and Keqing had just reunited last night. Keqing had used all her skills and fought with Jia Cong for half the night before she was defeated. In total, Jia Cong had only slept for more than two hours. He got up early again and went to the West Mansion. Now he was a little tired.
It was not until Jia Cong entered the inner room that Daiyu reacted.
"Hey, Zijuan, why don't you pull the third brother out quickly."
Zijuan, however, had a smile on her face and had no intention of moving. She was enjoying this couple so much, so how could she possibly ruin the good fortune of Master San and the girl?
Although the Third Master is the heir of two families, whoever gets the Third Master's attention will naturally be favored. Miss Bao has her mother to help her. Although her father is not around, she has Zijuan! She Zijuan is the self-proclaimed first matchmaker in the mansion, and how could she not know the girl's thoughts?
Besides, the Third Master is so outstanding, he must be a good match for the girl! Her lifelong goal is to pair the girl with the Third Master, and she is determined to be this pair. Even the Buddha can't stop her from saying it.
Seeing that Zijuan didn't move, Daiyu hurriedly followed in! But she saw that Jia Cong was already leaning on the embroidered bed!
"Brother, get up quickly!" Daiyu shyly went forward to pull Jia Cong, but how much strength did she have? How could pull him up? Instead, she was pulled by Jia Cong and fell directly into his arms.
Jia Cong gently hugged Daiyu, rubbed her hair, and said softly, "My dear Yu'er, I'm tired, I just want to hold Yu'er and take a nap for a while!"
Jia Cong's words calmed Daiyu down. She looked up at Jia Cong's slightly closed eyes, and her eyes were filled with affection. Her third brother was really tired, so... let him be a rogue this time.
When Jia Cong woke up, he saw Daiyu sleeping gently in his arms. Although Daiyu was not wearing any makeup, she was still stunningly beautiful, making people love her and intoxicated!
Jia Cong stared at her infatuatedly. After an unknown amount of time, Daiyu opened her eyes. When their eyes met, Jia Cong said in a silly voice, "Yu'er, you are so beautiful! I don't know how many lifetimes I have prayed for to meet you in this life, but it's all worth it! What's the point of a previous alliance? Yu'er can only belong to me, and no one can take her away from me."
Although Daiyu didn't understand what the "wood and stone alliance" meant, she shyly buried her head in Jia Cong's arms. How could she dare to raise her head?
Until Xueyan's gentle voice came from outside the door, "Miss, the food is ready, do you want to eat now?"
Daiyu stood up quickly and ran out with her head half covered with a handkerchief.
After a while, Zijuan brought in hot water to help Jia Cong wipe himself, and then led Jia Cong out of the inner room and into the hall.
Daiyu sat beside the small table in a serious manner, not looking sideways, only occasionally glancing at Jia Cong! Jia Cong pretended to rub his arm, "Hey, I don't know , my arm is sore from being squeezed."
Daiyu, who was standing by, stood up quickly after hearing this and said, "But I was holding you down just now. Let me see if there's any obstruction!"
It was not until she saw Jia Cong's teasing gaze that Daiyu realized that she must have been fooled by her third brother. "Third brother, you...you...you are not a good person!"
"Good Yu'er, please forgive me!"
"Zijuan, go to the East Mansion to find Qingwen and bring my bed and quilt over. If your daughter doesn't forgive me, I will stay here until she does."
Watching this lovely couple playing around, Zijuan felt as if she had eaten honey, her heart filled with sweetness.
She hurried forward, pushed the two of them to sit down, and laid out the food with Xueyan. Then Jia Cong and Daiyu stopped eating together, but it was basically Jia Cong who ate while Daiyu watched.
In the end, Jia Cong ate 90% of the food on the table...
After finishing the meal, Jia Cong was not in a hurry to leave. He stayed in the room and chatted with Daiyu until it got dark. After having another dinner, he returned to the East Palace.
Two days later, Jia Cong sent invitations to invite all the old relatives to a banquet! This time, no matter if it was the Wang family, the Shi family, or the people from the Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises' Houses, they all came early. However, they only had a short cup of tea in the front hall, and then they all came to the gate of the clan school on the back street of the Jia Mansion.
It has been two months since the Jia family school was remodeled, and the results have made everyone jealous. Now that Jia Cong is back, they also want to send their children over to polish the school into a better shape.
