Three Wives and Four Concubines in the Dream of the Red Chamber

Page 165

He inserted his penis inside and flipped Qingwen over. This sudden movement caused the girl to ejaculate violently. He then pressed her legs up to his shoulders and thrust into her vigorously. The well-made canopy bed even shook slightly. The moment he pulled out, her juices gushed out like a fountain, a sight that was both exciting and arousing.

"You're really useless... Xiangling, you come here."

"Master~..."

The night was long, and even though the two girls took turns attacking, they were no match for Gu Yu. In the end, they were both defeated by Gu Yu and could not get up again. Gu Yu could only carry them to wipe their bodies before they fell into a deep sleep.

After tucking two naked, delicate bodies into the quilt, Gu Yu, still full of energy, put on her clothes and went to the window for some fresh air. Suddenly, she reached out in surprise, and a small snowflake in her palm melted instantly. However, soon more and more snowflakes, larger and larger, began to fall.

"It's down so quickly?"

They just said it would snow in the next couple of days, but it didn't wait for anyone at all.

However, the thought that the girls' excitement hadn't worn off yet, and that they could actually participate in the poetry club gathering as soon as they opened their eyes, would surely make them much happier than simply attending the meeting, made Gu Yu smile.

Then he patted his head, turned around, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, intending to give it to the maids so that they could go out and find Feng Jie and Gu Yi outside as soon as the garden was unlocked.

After all, time is so tight. They probably just finished discussing the poetry club with Li Wan. How could they have time to set up Luxue Hermitage so quickly?

In order not to spoil everyone's fun, he naturally had to take the initiative to arrange everything.

As for informing Sister Feng, it was naturally to let the servants of the Gu family in and give them a heads-up. Anyway, it wouldn't take any effort on her, and she probably wouldn't need to wait for a reply before arranging for someone to come in ahead of time.

After sorting out her thoughts, Gu Yu put away the letter in her hand, called over a maid and whispered instructions to her, then lazily stretched and turned back to hug Xiangling and the others to rest.

Behind him, the blushing maid couldn't help but turn around and glance at him, her heart pounding.

"Young Master...he has such a great physique..."

Separated only by a single layer of clothing, the young maid indicated that she seemed to have seen something she shouldn't have.

That said, with such good looks, I thought the young master would be a weak scholar with no strength to even kill a chicken, but I didn't expect him to look so strong in his arms and stomach...

Unfortunately, their looks couldn't compete with the two lying inside, so they could only fantasize about it with envy before shaking their heads and going back to tending the boiler and dozing off.

However, the figure in the dream seemed clearer this time.

Hehe~…

Chapter Fifty-Seven: A Visit to Apologize

The next morning, when Gu Yu opened the door again, the snow outside was almost two inches thick, and the whole world seemed to have become a fairyland.

Familiar, light footsteps sounded behind him. Gu Yu chuckled, looking at Xiang Ling's face, still flushed from the previous night's pleasure. He took her small hand in his and rubbed it, then pointed to the snow falling outside.

"Let's wait until Qingwen comes out while there's no wind, then we'll go to Luxue Nunnery. I think everything should be arranged by now."

"You're being unfair, sir. I was only a step slower than this little brat, yet you make it sound like I was slacking off."

From inside came Qingwen's coquettish voice again. Two neatly dressed maids stood on either side of Gu Yu, creating a harmonious scene.

"Okay, okay, that's my spoken language. Qingwen is the most diligent, isn't she? She was working so hard last night!"

"Master~"

After chatting and laughing for a while, a servant handed over a cloak and felt hat. Qingwen took it and gave it to Xiangling. One of them tied the cloak for him, and the other put the hat on for him. They worked together perfectly.

"This material is quite warm. Is it ferret fur? I'll get one for my girlfriends too."

"What are you saying, sir? Are you saying the Jia family is so poor they can't even make cloaks? If you send them these cloaks like this, they'll think you're giving them a hard time."

Would the Jia family care as much as I do?

?

Gu Yu shrugged, not insisting, after all, Qingwen's words made sense, but continued:

"Then remember to tell the maids to send one to Miss Xing."

Turning around, Gu Yu looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, but then felt it was inappropriate, so she simply asked the maid to bring out another item, which she would deliver to the maid herself.

"I've really gone mad!"

Qingwen, who was being forced to stay behind and get dressed to go directly to Luxue Nunnery, shook her head helplessly, but couldn't help but smile. She quietly whispered in Xiangling's ear and teased her:

"Do you think that by braving the snow this time, I might move Miss Xing to such a degree that she'll offer herself to me on the spot?"

Xiangling turned her head, her gaze shifting for a moment as she looked at Qingwen's face, then she pursed her lips and looked at her with pity.

"I bet... you're in big trouble."

"Ok?"

Before Qingwen could react, she was pulled into the arms of the person behind her. A dangerous gaze met her eyes, and a cold laugh rang out:

"Touched? Offering yourself in return? I'd like to see if you're touched now."

"Snapped!"

Although it didn't hurt at all through the cotton pants, Qingwen still felt restless and irritable being spanked while standing on the veranda outside the room. She didn't dare to be defiant at all and pitifully begged for mercy.

"Sir, I was wrong... I shouldn't have made fun of you..."

"Let's continue tonight."

"Just kill me, sir."

Gu Yu was almost amused by her reckless attitude. After pinching her small nose, she waved her hand and let her go.

"I'm leaving now. You guys go to Luxue Temple first, lest the snow gets heavier later."

The delay had made it much easier for the sky to brighten, and the entire Grand View Garden was now a vast expanse of white, with no other color visible.

After crossing the bridge corridor and arriving at the area around Zilingzhou, the surrounding white landscape is further embellished, revealing red walls and green tiles. Large swathes of reeds stubbornly support their stalks amidst the flying snow, creating a surprisingly impressive sight.

Gu Yu glanced at it casually, then looked at the towering Zhuijin Tower not far away. The gate of Zilingzhou next to it had just opened, so he quickly hurried over.

In Zilingzhou, Xing Xiuyan ushered Yingchun into the house, still somewhat puzzled. What was this second young lady doing here in such heavy snow?

Seeing that although she was wearing a cotton coat, it still seemed a bit thin for the weather, Yingchun sat down, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:

"If you don't mind, why don't you take one of my cloaks and put it on first, then change into the cloak and go over?"

"Hmm? Where to go?"

Xing Xiuyan was stunned, not yet realizing the meaning behind Yingchun's words.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday? We'll go to Luxue Temple after it snows."

Yingchun cast a concerned glance at Xing Xiuyan, who looked rather silly. Had this child been frozen silly? She had forgotten what she had just said yesterday.

Xing Xiuyan felt a tightness in her chest, and almost choked on her breath when she saw Yingchun's obvious gaze.

"We were just talking about it yesterday afternoon, and it snowed in the middle of the night. How can we possibly start today? Does Miss Yingchun even know who's supposed to clean up the venue? Nothing's even ready yet!"

Yingchun gave her a strange look, and suddenly felt a little smug and delighted.

I'm so happy that I understand Yu-ge's personality better than anyone else?

Just then, a maidservant suddenly came in to announce the arrival of the door:

"Young Master Yu has arrived."

Yingchun immediately stood up with joy and looked towards the door, while Xing Xiuyan blushed and shrank back uncomfortably.

The misunderstanding had just been cleared up yesterday afternoon, and she hadn't even figured out how the two of them should face each other yet. Who would have thought that this person would come to her door so early in the morning?

Hearing the sound of the outer curtain being lifted and then lowered, a footstep stepped in. Yingchun looked at Gu Yu, who was carrying a package, and walked in with a smile. Her face flushed, she pursed her lips, and then she mustered up her courage to look up at him again.

"What brings you here now...?"

As the maid behind him retreated, and Siqi busied herself pouring tea, while Xing Xiuyan inside kept her head down and didn't dare to look at him, Gu Yu simply leaned over and kissed the girl's cheek as a small reward for her.

"I came to see you... and brought you something."

Touching her cheek, Yingchun glanced at him shyly. The once taciturn girl had become much more cheerful, and after having a closer relationship, she had become more accustomed to such small acts of intimacy.

"Then you go ahead with your work, I'll go back and change my clothes first, shall we go to Luxue Temple together?"

"it is good."

After seeing off the understanding Yingchun, Gu Yu raised an eyebrow, turned his teasing gaze to the girl who still dared not look him in the eye, slowly walked over, placed the things on the table, and then slowly leaned closer.

As the shadowy figure in the corner of her eye drew closer, Xing Xiuyan's eyelashes trembled slightly. She shrank back uncomfortably in the chair, yet dared not flee, and nervously held her breath.

Gu Yu walked up to Xing Xiuyan, slowly squatted down, looked at the nervous girl, and smiled gently:

"What's wrong with Sister Xing? Am I a tiger, or is she going to eat you?"

That's not true...

Although she had forgiven Gu Yu, Xing Xiuyan couldn't help but recall the large hand that had been playing tricks on her chest yesterday whenever she saw him. It was like a giant iron hand pressing down on her breasts, as if it wanted to flatten them. Her face flushed uncontrollably.

Gu Yu stared intently at her reaction and could roughly guess Xing Xiuyan's current psychological state. He breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to hold the girl's small hand that was resting on her knee.

Sensing her subconscious attempt to pull away, Gu Yu didn't let go, but didn't make any further moves. He looked up at Xing Xiuyan's lowered head, his gentle voice conveying sincerity.

"Yesterday I asked Sister Miaoyu to come and apologize to you. I really offended you. But my intentions are sincere, so please don't take it to heart."

"Since Sister Xing feels there's been a misunderstanding, then from now on, I will never act on my own without Sister Xing's permission, okay? Would Sister Xing forgive me this time?"

Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Small Gathering at Luxue Hermitage

Xing Xiuyan had only pulled out the tube twice out of girlish shyness, and had no intention of actually pulling it out and causing Gu Yu to misunderstand. Now, seeing Gu Yu's sincerity, her heart softened even more.

Such a favored son of heaven is willing to lower himself to serve a poor woman like me. What more can I say?

In the magnificent Grand View Garden, where beauties abound, she was never arrogant enough to think that her face alone could make her the most beautiful woman in the world, and that the one who could make Gu Yu so infatuated was merely someone who was dispensable.

Now that Gu Yu has gone this far, what is there for her to hold back?

After a brief silence, the girl glanced at Gu Yu, who was still looking up at her waiting for a response, and whispered, her face still flushed:

"I understand... Get up now."

Having received a pardon, Gu Yu was all smiles. Just as he stood up, he heard Xing Xiuyan, head tilted and face flushed, mumble:

"From now on... aside from returning that five hundred taels of silver... you are not allowed to..."

Is this a gesture of goodwill?

Gu Yu was both happy and touched. Even in this state, this girl was still thinking of taking care of his personality and using this method to tell him that she had truly forgiven him. How could he not "repay" her with his body to show his gratitude?

"I listen to you."

After giving Xing Xiuyan a big smile, Gu Yu turned around, opened the bundle, and shook out a brand-new, thick cloak. The cloak was made of several layers of light blue brocade, with white fur underneath, and looked shiny and valuable.

"It's snowing heavily outside right now, Sister Xing, why don't you try this on and see if it fits? This ferret fur is quite warm, you won't be cold wearing it."

Xing Xiuyan glanced at the cloak in Gu Yu's hand, instinctively shrinking her arm away, but after hesitating for a moment, she shook her head and said:

"No need, this cloak is too valuable, it's really inappropriate... I have my own cloak—"

"How about I consider this a gift to apologize to Sister Xing? It's nothing special. I can't even bring my wild duck down or crane feather cloak into the garden, so what's a ferret cloak? As long as Sister Xing doesn't mind."

Before Xing Xiuyan could refuse again, Gu Yu pushed the cloak in her arms and urged her to put it on quickly.

"Second Sister is still waiting for us, Sister Xing, you'd better hurry."

"..."

Forced into this situation, and after feeling the thick, warm embrace in her arms, the girl hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and accepted Gu Yu's kindness.

"Here, let me help you."

Gu Yu leaned over and wrapped the ribbon around her, his movements making it seem as if he were enveloping Xing Xiuyan in his arms. The intense pressure made her face flush red with gratitude, and she could only watch helplessly as Gu Yu's beautiful, well-defined hands moved to her front and methodically tied the ribbon.

"Sister Xing, shall we go?"

As the saying goes, "Clothes make the man," and this young girl, already as pure and lovely as a lotus emerging from the water, seemed to have her whole aura elevated to a higher level when she put on this pine-green brocade cloak.

Gu Yu stared intently at her for several moments, imagining her figure after being adorned with the various pieces of jewelry he was about to give her, his gaze growing increasingly intense.

"Then let's hurry up and go..."

Xing Xiuyan felt a little overwhelmed by his gaze and turned around almost to run away, wanting to go outside to avoid him. However, when she saw the cloak hanging on the rack outside, which was obviously taken off by Gu Yu when he came in, she hesitated and stopped.

Gu Yu was smiling as she followed behind, lifting the curtain, when Xing Xiuyan suddenly stopped in front of her. Before she could speak, she saw Xing Xiuyan reach out to take off her cloak, then turn around with her head slightly lowered.

“You’re used to being waited on by maids, and this cloak is so thick, you…you squat down a bit, let me help you fasten it…”

Is there such a good thing?

Gu Yu pretended not to see the fiery blush on her slightly lowered pretty face, and chuckled as he leaned closer and bent down slightly.
