Chapter 416 The Bed is a Little Small
After a while, Xiangyun finally came back to her senses. Then, she said to Cuilu with a stern face, "Don't talk nonsense. Who else knows about this?"
Cuilu tilted her head and thought for a long time, then she counted on her fingers and said, "Cui Mo and I knew about it. At that time, Sister Qingwen brought Sister Xiangling, Xiao Que'er, and Ruhua to help clean up the house, so they also knew about it."
"Chief Steward Jia Zhong also knows about it, and the old woman also knows about it."
"The young lady was at the Yishan Pavilion before, and Sister Qingwen took us and the other young ladies' maids to eat in the house next to the Dengxian Pavilion. So, when the Third Master brought the young lady back, Sister Ping'er, Sister Ying'er, Sister Zijuan... everyone should have seen it!"
Xiangyun looked at Cuilu and counted on her fingers almost twice, then fell headfirst onto the couch. Why bother with so much trouble? Can’t you just tell all the sisters that they know?
The maids around all the sisters have seen it, so who can it be hidden from?
The more Xiangyun thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. She didn't know how her sisters would tease her tomorrow...
Perhaps she heard the voices in the room, Baoqin opened the door and rushed in, "Sister Xiangyun is awake?"
Without paying any attention to Cuilu's greeting, Baoqin went straight to Xiangyun's bed and said, "Sister Xiangyun, please get up and help me. I can't stand up to the fourth lady and the others."
Seeing Xiangyun hiding under the quilt and not talking, Baoqin giggled and said, "Oh, I see, Sister Yun is going to be a sister-in-law , and she won't play with us kids anymore."
"What kind of sister-in-law is that?" Xiangyun said with a red face as she lifted the quilt.
"Of course not. I know everything. It was my brother who carried Sister Yun back just now. If Sister Yun wasn't my sister-in-law, how could she be carried by my brother?"
"I was just drunk, so Third Brother sent me back. It's nothing like what you said."
"I have never seen my brother carry someone back home when he gets drunk, so why did he only carry Sister Yun home?"
Xiangyun was speechless. She immediately turned over and angrily grabbed Baoqin and started tickling her. "You little girl teased me. Today I will let you know how powerful I am."
…
In You's courtyard, a brutal battle just ended with Jia Cong's great victory.
Keqing and Ping'er were simply unable to fight and were beheaded after only one round. Wang Xifeng and Youshi did hold out a little longer, but the final result was obviously no different.
"The rest of this bed is fine, but it would be even better if it were bigger!" Jia Cong said, smacking his lips.
Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes at Jia Cong in a charming manner. She was really doubting a saying. Isn't it said that there are only cows that die of exhaustion, but no land that is damaged by plowing? Why didn't this wild bull seem to be exhausted to death, but it was the bull that was exhausted and had no strength at all? Moreover, seeing that this enemy was still in high spirits today, it would probably be no problem even if he fought for two more rounds...
Ping'er brought Ruizhu and Baozhu in with hot water and washed themselves.
Looking at Keqing who had fallen asleep and Youshi and Wang Xifeng who were in a daze, Jia Cong kissed them all lovingly. After covering them with brocade quilts, he returned to Ningzheng Hall.
The next day, Jia Cong got up and went to work. Yuanyang and Zhen Muring, along with a group of maids, served food to everyone. The girls played for a long time. Although Baochai and Daiyu didn't want to leave, it was time to go back home. So everyone had to go back to the West Mansion first. After greeting the old lady, they arranged for the carriage and guards to leave the Jia Mansion.
Therefore, when Jia Cong returned , the originally bustling East Palace became quiet again.
Daiyu, Baochai, Baoqin and others have all gone back. Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Xing Xiuyun, Xiangyun and the three springs have returned to the West Mansion. Youshi and Keqing are still recuperating. Yuanyang and Zhen Muring are in their respective courtyards.
After all, although they were Jia Cong's aunt and concubine, they were not the masters of Ningzheng Hall. Therefore, they would only come when Jia Cong asked them to come or when there was something going on. Most of the other time they stayed in their own courtyards.
However, the two of them had no complaints about this. After all, rules are rules. Moreover, compared with other concubines and aunts, they were already very satisfied. Just look at the two aunts of Jia Zheng in the West Palace. Aunt Zhao, who is so unruly, is she not in her own courtyard most of the time? When did she qualify to go to Rongxi Hall? Even if there was a grand banquet in the palace, they were not qualified to participate.
As for Aunt Zhou, she was even more low-key. The new maids and old women in the mansion didn't even know there was such a person.
This also applies to Jia She and Jia Zhen's aunts and concubines! Now, there is no housekeeper in the mansion, and Jia Cong is close to them. It is a rare good day.
"Is the master back?"
Seeing Jia Cong enter the room, Qingwen hurried over to serve him. Seeing that Xiao Que'er looked a little listless, Jia Cong stepped forward, smiled and pinched her little face and said, "Why didn't your little Que go out to play today?"
Xiao Que'er glanced at Qingwen secretly, then puffed up her cheeks and complained, "Master, Qingwen won't let me go out to play."
Qingwen was so angry that she stepped forward and pinched Xiao Que'er, "How dare you complain to me? This morning you brought a group of little ones to destroy most of the flowers in our garden. You also want to follow the fourth lady to the West Mansion. Are you still the head maid in my room?"
Jia Cong laughed loudly, "If you want to go out and play some other day, just go secretly without telling Qingwen! But you have to bring your maidservants with you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Que'er nodded vigorously, and then tugged at Qingwen, "Qingwen, I want you to help warm my bed tonight!"
Although she didn't know the reason, Xiao Que'er could sense that this little sister was very enthusiastic about warming the bed for the master, so she couldn't help but put forward this condition to please Qingwen. Xiao Que'er also knew that although Qingwen often lectured her, she was also the best to her.
I usually play around by myself, but Qingwen is the one who takes care of all the things in the house. In fact, Qingwen not only needs to take care of the master, but also needs to take care of myself from time to time. Of course I have to appreciate it.
Qingwen glared at Xiaoque'er with a red face and was about to speak when she heard Zhuan'er's voice coming from outside the door.
"Meet Sister Shiya!"
"Is the master here?"
Xiangling went out upon hearing the sound, and soon led Shiya into the hall.
"I'm here to see you, Master. The young lady asked the maid in the kitchen to prepare some side dishes and warm up the wine, and asked me to ask you if you have time to come over."
