Chapter 703 Daily Life in the Sun Mansion (Ten)
The night deepens.
The living room in the middle and the bedroom on the east side were brightly lit, but Jia Yingchun and Xiu Ju, the master and servant, were waiting in the dark in the study on the west side.
Those two pairs of hearts and four eyes were all fixed on the bluestone slab against the wall.
I don't know how long I waited, but I heard some crisp tinkling sounds coming from the multi-treasure window on the left. Xiu Ju immediately stepped forward, raised her small feet, and stepped on the bluestone slab several times.
Before the sound had faded , the stone slab slid open silently, revealing a black hole about a meter in diameter.
"ah!"
However, Xiu Ju was too excited to maintain her momentum in time. As a result, she missed a step and fell forward, crashing into the west wall.
She tried desperately to keep her balance, but it was too late.
Seeing that her nose was about to touch the wall, Xiu Ju closed her eyes in fear, but suddenly she felt her body lighten. She opened her eyes and looked down, and found that someone was holding her crotch and lifting her up.
"No matter how impatient you are, wait until I, the Second Master, come out of the secret passage before you pounce on me."
Sun Shaozong joked casually, put her back on the ground steadily, and bowed to Jia Yingchun, saying: "Your subordinate Sun Shaozong greets Jia Shuren."
Jia Yingchun felt both shy and happy when she heard this, but she didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, Xiu Ju was proactive. She stood on tiptoe and brushed off the dust on Sun Shaozong's shoulders. She urged him again and again, "This is not the place to talk. Second Master and Madam should go to the east room first."
As she spoke, she covered the entrance to the secret passage, and the three of them walked through the living room and came to the bedroom at the east end.
After entering the room, Sun Shaozong sat down on the bed with his arms and legs stretched out, and Xiu Ju also came up to him and served him. On the contrary, Jia Yingchun felt a little uncomfortable and sat down in front of the dressing table stiffly.
The two of them often visit each other, and she is already a mother, but she is still so shy. One has to say that it is due to her personality - but it is also because of this that there is a bit of "special" flavor.
When he thought of this, Sun Shaozong began to feel a little agitated, and his eyes unconsciously searched Jia Yingchun.
Although there were some extra constraints due to the letter from her eldest brother, it was also a blessing in disguise, forcing Jia Yingchun to cooperate and unlock more postures. The beauty of it is something she dare not tell others.
Jia Yingchun was also looking around secretly, and when she met his aggressive gaze, she couldn't help but think of the embarrassment she experienced last time. She couldn't help but stretch out her hands to cover her chest and mouth.
But she soon realized that doing so would be like covering up the truth, so she lowered her arms again in embarrassment.
But this shy action made Sun Shaozong even more impatient.
It was not the first time for the two of them to meet, so he naturally did not hesitate to be polite. He immediately stood up and picked up Jia Yingchun from the embroidered cushion, and laid her horizontally on the bed like a treasure. He turned around and ordered, "Xiu Ju, go and get the 'Shan Ren' that the emperor awarded."
When Jia Yingchun heard this, how could she not know what he was planning?
But apart from covering her face with her sleeves out of shame, she could not muster the slightest intention of resisting, and let Xiu Ju take the "lady of the imperial court" dress, put it on with Sun Shaozong, and then peel it off piece by piece...
There is a poem saying:
The coquettishness has turned into despair, the days are getting longer, I take off my light skirt and the jade mat is cool;
The misty tent shrouds the jade pillow, and the fair skin is covered with sweat and smells of white lotus.
A string of red teeth and broken jade knocks, and the green clouds are powerless to stay in the sky;
I also know that the song has reached the most emotional part, so I slowly lower the voice and signal with my eyes.
——Li Yuanying of the Southern Dynasty
…
By the time the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, it was already past three o'clock in the morning.
All three of them were exhausted physically and mentally, but after sending Xiu Ju away, Sun Shaozong still followed his usual practice, trying to cheer himself up and chatting with Jia Yingchun.
In the past, Jia Yingchun mostly listened to Sun Shaozong talking about interesting things and rarely took the initiative to interrupt. But today, she seemed to be hesitant to speak several times.
"What's wrong?"
Sun Shaozong combed the messy hair on her forehead and asked curiously, "Is there anything you can't tell me?"
Jia Yingchun wanted to shake her head, but when she felt someone combing her forehead, she stopped and bit her increasingly red lips. After a long while, she finally managed to say, "Yuanyang...seems to have noticed something."
After saying this, fearing that Sun Shaozong didn't understand what he meant, he hurriedly added, "When you came to congratulate her in the evening, she showed some signs of being amiss. Later, Xiu Ju tried to probe her a few times, and although she insisted on not saying anything, she... seemed to..."
As she became more and more flustered, Sun Shaozong reached out and held her in his arms, patting her shoulders and comforting her: "Don't worry, the sky won't fall."
After she calmed down a little, Sun Shaozong said seriously: "In fact, after so many years, how can it be hidden from the people around you? Not to mention Yuanyang, in fact, Ruan Rong and the others must have known it ."
"ah!"
Upon hearing this, Jia Yingchun exclaimed and subconsciously tried to stand up.
"Didn't I tell you that the sky won't fall?"
Sun Shaozong held her down with his hands and said calmly, "Since they have seen the clues, and looking at your brother's attitude towards you, they naturally know that it is a matter of mutual consent. This matter is new, but it is not uncommon if you look closely."
"If you are not a fool, you will pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, how can this mansion accommodate them?"
"As for the confused one, how can he figure out the trick?"
After his analysis, Jia Yingchun finally calmed down a little.
But when she thought about the fact that Ruan Rong and others who usually talked and laughed with her knew the whole relationship between her and Sun Shaozong, she couldn't help but feel hot all over with shame, and she didn't know what attitude she should use to face everyone in the future.
Sun Shaozong tried to comfort her a few more times, but seeing that she was still distracted, he had no choice but to use his trump card:
"I heard that you are going to take Chengsi back to your parents' home tomorrow?"
As expected , when Jia Yingchun mentioned her precious son, she immediately became distracted and nodded, saying, "Last time I went to Rongguo Mansion, the old lady mentioned him several times."
At the beginning, she was not valued by Grandmother Jia in the Rongguo Mansion. She was not even as close to her as her two younger sisters Tanchun and Xichun. She could be said to be a nobody among the women in the Rongguo Mansion.
But now, with the Sun family's rising wealth, every time she goes back to her parents' home, she is treated like the moon surrounded by stars. Even the old lady will talk to her about many family matters every time she sees her.
Seeing that this method was effective, Sun Shaozong smiled and said, "Then let Ruan Rong and Cheng Yi go along to join in the fun. They both can't stay bored, so just go along to relax."
Jia Yingchun didn't know how to face Ruan Rong. When she heard that she and her daughter were going to go together, she subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't utter them, so in the end she could only nod stiffly.
