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

Page 79

However, Daiyu and the others wanted to stay a little longer, and Xiangyun couldn't wait to pull Baochai away. Daiyu was too embarrassed to stay any longer, and they all left in no time.

Gu Yu watched Xiangyun walk away quickly and Baochai secretly give him an apologetic look, speechless, and inwardly grumbled.

"This little brat is so disobedient... I guess I'll have to find an opportunity to make my move."

With the three springs almost conquered, it's time to turn our attention to Xiangyun, the only remaining sister... Oh right, there seems to be a Miaoyu practicing cultivation in the manor as well?

Gu Yu patted her forehead. She'd been so engrossed in her romantic pursuits lately that she'd almost forgotten about this hairpin who'd been so inconspicuous in the beginning. Maybe she should find a chance to go and take a look?

Even though she doesn't have to spend time with Daiyu and the others today, Gu Yu has some things to do and doesn't know when she'll have any free time.

After instructing Qingwen and the others to accompany Daiyu and her entourage back and have some fun, a maidservant quietly stepped forward from the corner and whispered the news she had received. Gu Yu stood there, his eyes flashing, and a mocking smile appeared on his handsome face.

"It seems the old lady is still not giving up... No wonder Baoyu still has time to go out drinking. It turns out even Master Zheng can't control him. It seems I'll have to add some more fuel to the fire."

Ever since Baoyu was possessed by evil spirits last time, I took the opportunity to acquire so many classic texts and used the excuse of fulfilling a vow to keep this light bulb from constantly being there and getting in my way. I never expected that he would let go of me again and run around everywhere after only a few days.

Even though Baoyu hasn't done anything wrong so far, and hasn't even developed any unusual feelings for Daiyu, Gu Yu won't let him interfere with his pursuit of girls because of kinship. So, going back to studying is the right thing to do.

"Send someone to deliver a message to Lord Zheng, saying that I plan to visit him after lunch."

"Hey."

Gu Yu carefully considered her plan and found no oversights. She nodded in satisfaction, went back into her room to get her notebook, and went out to present Feng Jie with a reward.

Unexpectedly, just after passing Daoxiang Village, Gu Yu heard Wang Xifeng calling him from behind:

"Brother Yu! Where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you afraid the road is slippery?"

Isn't this just a coincidence?!

Gu Yu raised an eyebrow and glanced at Wang Xifeng, whom she hadn't seen for several days. She was still as energetic as ever, but the subtle weariness in her expression was undeniable.

"What brings you here, Sister Feng? I happen to have something to ask of you. Would you like some credit for me?"

Upon hearing this, Sister Feng couldn't help but smile, and deliberately bowed, saying:

"Thank you so much, Brother Yu! These past few days I've only managed to accumulate some hard work, which hasn't been of much use, and I've been exhausted myself. It's Brother Yu who knows how to care for people. I wonder what kind of reward you're going to give me?"

That being said, since it was a favor she had been asked to do, there was no question of any credit involved. Moreover, Sister Feng had another matter on her mind, so she became even more perfunctory.

Gu Yu waved the booklet in her hand and smiled:

"It's a new play. I've been bored lately, so I wrote it to cheer up my sisters. If you listen to it and think it's good, and then you ask the matriarch to listen to it, wouldn't that be a great achievement?"

Fengjie looked surprised, took it and handed it to the maid who was with her, and planned to show it to the professional head of the team later. However, she still couldn't help feeling sour inside.

This young man is so good at winning over girls' hearts. He's also good-looking, from a wealthy family, talented, and good at business. He has all the advantages.

But his own family members are idle all day long, indulging in eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring. Although they have toned it down a bit recently and no longer put in dirty or smelly things, they are still not presentable.

These past few days, I went to the East Mansion to chat with Madam You. We were talking about how Madam You and her two daughters from her maternal family were coming to seek refuge. I just casually agreed with them, but when they actually came, I was left in a bind.

These two stepsisters of Lady You were truly beauties of unparalleled grace and charm. One was gentle and docile, while the other was fiery and innocent; they were comparable to the girls of the Jia family.

Brother Zhen only caught a glimpse of it and was stunned for a long time. He couldn't help but ask Madam You about it, his wolfish ambitions were obvious. Madam You complained to him again the next day, but what could he do? He could only laugh it off.

If that were all, it would be fine. At worst, they could just let their affairs in the East Mansion rot in their own nest. But Jia Lian, that wild bull, saw it all. When he came back, he was completely distracted. He couldn't help but make a couple of sarcastic remarks, and then he got angry? What a disaster!

Wang Xifeng was already busy all day long, and this mess only made her more exhausted. Now, Gu Yu had added insult to injury, and her face was all red and swirling with emotions, making it impossible for her to maintain her composure.

"What's wrong, Sister Feng?"

Gu Yu was also startled, thinking to herself, "Could it be that serious? I was just asking for my sisters' concern, why is Wang Xifeng so upset? Could it be that there's something wrong with our marital life?"

Wang Xifeng snapped out of her daze, quickly composed herself, and smiled:

"That's truly a great achievement; how can I possibly thank you enough? You're not short of anything—"

Before she finished speaking, Wang Xifeng's heart stirred. She stared at Gu Yu for a moment, then waved away the servants beside her and pulled Gu Yu a few steps to the side.

"Yu-ge'er...you only have Xiangling and Qingwen as your concubines now, right?...Have you ever thought about taking a concubine?"

Gu Yu's eyelids twitched, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, but she smiled sheepishly.

"I'm not ready yet, Sister Feng, are you going to act as my matchmaker?"

Regardless of whose orders Wang Xifeng was acting on, if anyone dared to insert someone into his room, he couldn't be blamed for being ungrateful.

Wang Xifeng chuckled twice, then whispered:

"I know that principle, but once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever. The two women I'm talking about are both very beautiful. If it's too late... I'll be too embarrassed to tell you anymore. If you're interested, you can keep them at home for two or three years."

Gu Yu's heart stirred, the coldness in her eyes lessened considerably, and she inexplicably thought of the two of them, so she couldn't help but ask:

"I wonder who Sister Feng is referring to?"

"Speaking of which, we have some connection with the Jia family. You've met Madam Zhen of the East Mansion. I'm talking about her mother's two daughters. They are extremely beautiful. That's why I thought of you."

"Eastern Prefecture..."

Gu Yu already knew which two they were, but...

"When did they arrive at the manor? I haven't heard from them all these days."

"Don't worry, I just came to your house the other day. As soon as Sister-in-law Zhen mentioned wanting to arrange a marriage, I started thinking about you."

Wang Xifeng's face stiffened, but she quickly replied with a smile. Inwardly, she cursed. She hadn't expected that even someone like Gu Yu, who rarely left the mansion, had heard of the East Mansion's reputation and had even asked when he had entered. Fortunately, that fool wouldn't affect the reputation of her Rongguo Mansion.

"In that case, I'll trouble Sister Feng to take you to my home tonight to settle in."

Hearing this, Gu Yu finally felt relieved and thanked Wang Xifeng for her kindness. Now that he had encountered her along the way and the mission was complete, he could go back and continue writing.

Watching Gu Yusai's departing figure, Wang Xifeng opened her mouth, but was too embarrassed to call him back and refuse again.

How can someone tell you their intentions in the morning and then take you home by evening? Even poor families don't sell their daughters that quickly! But Gu Yu had already waved his hand and turned to leave. Since he also wanted to please him, he could only think of a way.

"Send someone to the East Mansion to tell Grandma Zhen that I'm going to find her right away!"

"Yes."

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Cooperation is always better than going it alone

After lunch, Gu Yu left the garden and went straight to Jia Zheng's study, Mengpo Zhai. Jia Zheng, who had already received the news, was chatting and waiting in the room with a group of scholars and gentlemen.

After the servants came in to report, Cheng Rixing, Shan Pinren, and the others exchanged glances, tacitly stopped talking, and turned their gazes toward where they had come from.

A handsome young man in a blue robe strolled in. He was tall and slender with a beautiful face. The compliments that the others had prepared seemed to come out more sincerely.

"The sons and nephews of the late Mr. Shi are all outstanding talents, how magnificent they are!"

"Indeed, indeed! Second Brother is already of dragon and phoenix quality, and now this Young Master Gu is also a handsome and talented man. It is evident that the Jia family is blessed with outstanding talents. I only hope that we ignorant fools can also benefit from his influence over time. That would be thanks to the great fortune of the old man!"

"Brother Bu is absolutely right..."

Gu Yu remained expressionless, smiled and bowed to Jia Zheng, then glanced around and nodded in acknowledgment.

Hearing the praise from below, Jia Zheng felt somewhat pleased, as the words implied both praise for Bao Yu and the feng shui of the Jia family. He couldn't help but smile and stroke his beard, then amiably invited Gu Yu to sit down.

"Yu-ge'er wrote to say he has some knowledge to ask me, but I have never taken the imperial examinations and my knowledge is shallow. Now that you are preparing for the metropolitan examination, I am afraid I cannot help you."

Gu Yu solemnly cupped his hands and said:

"Master Zheng is too modest. As Confucius said, 'Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me.' Moreover, Master Zheng has experienced many hardships and is well-versed in the knowledge of ancient and modern times. I am young and can only recite a few classic lines. How can I compare to your understanding? I hope you will not hesitate to enlighten me and clear up my doubts!"

Jia Zheng was overjoyed by the flattery from this respectable scholar. He couldn't help but laugh twice before quickly adding a few words of humility, and then began to discuss things with Gu Yu.

It can only be said that although Jia Zheng is diligent in farming and loves reading, he seems to have no talent. Gu Yu only said a few words and he roughly understood his level. It would be difficult for him to even pass the imperial examination!

Since Jia Zheng wasn't very literate, Gu Yu was naturally more relaxed and could easily find topics that allowed Jia Zheng to fully display his talents, making him more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, as if he regretted not meeting her sooner.

The excited atmosphere made even Cheng Riguang and the others, who were used to chiming in, exchange bewildered glances. They looked at Gu Yu, who was responding with a smile but actually keeping the situation firmly under control, and secretly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Thank goodness this guy won't steal our jobs... otherwise we'd all be starving."

"..."

...

"Yu-ge'er's words are brilliant! They perfectly echo the ancient saying: 'To see far is to be wise; to listen to virtue is to be discerning.' In my opinion—"

"Master, the Imperial Concubine has bestowed some gifts upon the manor, and the Old Madam is summoning you there!"

Before Jia Zheng could continue speaking, the servant who had delivered the message burst in. Jia Zheng pursed his lips in regret and had to stop talking. Gu Yu then stood up and took his leave.

"Master Zheng's talent is indeed extraordinary. I have benefited greatly from his teachings. I wonder if I will be able to..."

"Yu-ge'er is indeed diligent and eager to learn! Come see me anytime in the afternoons these days!"

"Then I'll take my leave."

Having obtained the answer he wanted, Gu Yu bowed and took his leave, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. He wasn't there out of boredom to flatter Jia Zheng; rather, he figured that matter was about to unfold... and only his presence could help him push things along and achieve the result he desired.

Once this matter is over, the Grand View Garden will be able to "usurp the nest" and enjoy the company of all the beauties all by itself. Wouldn't that be wonderful?!

Feeling increasingly smug, Gu Yu hurried back to the courtyard, pushed open the door, and saw Xiang Ling lying on her side on the cot, lost in thought. He couldn't help but laugh and immediately picked her up to carry her to his own bed.

"Xiangling was naughty last night, actually running off with that hussy Qingwen. Let's see where she can run now!"

Xiangling's pretty face flushed red. She obediently wrapped her arms around Gu Yu's neck, not daring to resist, and weakly defended herself:

"Qingwen dragged me over there, saying we couldn't let Master lose face. If Master gets angry, we can punish her later—oh dear! Master, could you be gentler?...I feel so full...mmm~"

Not long after, Qingwen, who had been deliberately hiding, was betrayed by Xiangling, who was suffering from the beating. Gu Yu got out of bed naked and went to the side room. He brought her back in no time.

Seeing that the bed was already covered in mud, Qingwen's heart pounded. She was trying to find an excuse to avoid Gu Yu's temper at this moment, but Gu Yu chuckled and held Qingwen tightly. After a few rubs, he slowly pushed in.

Since there was no room left on the bed, Gu Yu simply didn't go to the bed. Instead, he relived the position he had used to hold Ke Qing, and then easily held Qing Wen in his arms, sweating profusely as he moved around the room.

Qingwen was captivated by this new position, and she squeezed the hot rod tightly with all her might, as if if she didn't push hard next time, it would break through the barrier and pierce her intestines.

After only a few dozen strokes, Qingwen leaned back weakly, drenched in sweat, her eyes rolling back slightly, and she quickly begged for mercy:

"Master~ I was wrong—humph~ I really have no strength left... it's going to burst through, sob sob~"

Gu Yu sighed and gently lifted the girl's pert bottom. Everyone says you have to take shape to be your own, so why is this road still so difficult to drive on after all these attempts?!

Each time, it has to be pushed in halfway, and it can't even push in all the way, for fear of causing a real problem. When will this half-fullness end?

As for going to those mature women to have some real fun? Gu Yu never even considered that. Wasn't the little girl he had raised himself better? Since he couldn't just go all out anyway, it was better to keep her as an innocent and pure little girl. Gu Yu wasn't the kind of man who would give orders from the bottom up!

"Weren't you so capable yesterday? Why are you begging for mercy now? You're full, but I'm not. What are we going to do?"

Gu Yu, not to be outdone, continued to tease her tongue, his huge penis slowly being pulled out, causing Qingwen to tremble slightly. But the next second, she felt the hot penis move down a little further, wandering in a dangerous area, which frightened Qingwen so much that her face turned pale.

"Sir! This won't work!"

In the past, Gu Yu would only occasionally stimulate herself with a single finger, so how could she possibly accommodate this enormous thing? It would probably have to be split in two to fit inside.

"Then what am I supposed to do? Or perhaps..."

Gu Yu chuckled mischievously and whispered a few words in her ear. Qingwen's flushed face was filled with even more shame, but she was truly frightened by the tantalizingly close yet distant heat. She could only quickly get off Gu Yu and run to get help.

"Xiangling~ Please help me..."

"Oh dear! You—"

Xiangling instinctively covered her face after Qingwen said something, but when she looked at Gu Yu and saw his burning interest, she knew that Gu Yu was extremely interested. After hesitating for a while, she reluctantly got out of bed and followed Qingwen.

This wasn't the first time, actually. The two of them had been manipulated by Gu Yu before, becoming completely infatuated and obedient. They had already worked together once before, but this time, even though they were still relatively sober, they still had to take the initiative. Xiangling and the others couldn't help but feel a flush on their faces.

Gu Yu, who was prepared, sat on the edge of the bed. The two women, their pretty faces flushed, knelt at his feet, one on the left and one on the right, engrossed in their work. Their movements, one above and one below, were somewhat in sync, which finally made Gu Yu breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy the rare thrill.

After all, it would be difficult for one person to take good care of his enormous possession; such close cooperation between two people is the best strategy.

"Take it in deeper... Xiangling is so good~"

……

Chapter Ninety-Nine: The You Sisters

As the heat on the ground gradually dissipated, the battle in the room gradually subsided. Gu Yu got up, pulled out his thick member, and a faint popping sound came from where he and Qingwen were joined. After expelling a little white fluid, they closed tightly again.

These past few days have been their safe period, at least Gu Yu doesn't have to pull out at the last minute and think of another way, and feeling the trembling of the girl's heart deep inside her body is also a rather enjoyable experience.

Looking at the two young girls lying side by side on the bed, their beautiful bodies sprawled out, Gu Yu couldn't help but smile. After gently stroking them a few times, he prepared to carry them to wash up, but the two girls refused with all their might.

"Master, go ahead and do your own thing... Xiangling and I will lie down for a while longer..."

Qingwen was truly terrified. She felt that Gu Yu seemed to be getting more and more aggressive each time. Gu Yu was at the age where he was growing, and if his lower body continued to grow, who in the world could take good care of him?

After watching Gu Yu leave, the two women were too exhausted to even open their eyes. They didn't care about the mess on their bodies, and just covered themselves with a thin blanket before falling into a deep sleep.
