The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 131 Technician No.

No one would have the time to search their own warehouse, so even though Mrs. Wang's gold sand was lost, she couldn't find it for a while.

Mr. Zhan was thinking that the melons were almost ripe and he had to eat them quickly, so he was thinking about how to bring this matter to light again.

So he turned his attention to Master Xue Er.

In the eyes of Master Xue Er, Master Zhan is a very good man. He even spoke well of his family in front of Lady Jia!

Although the final result was still not satisfactory, he still wanted to accept the favor.

He had no idea that the relationship between Mr. Zhan and Aunt Xue's family was much closer than he had imagined. He just thought it was just an ordinary in-law relationship. Besides, Baochai was about to die, so this in-law relationship would not last long.

If possible, he also wanted to get closer to Master Zhan.

But before that, he had to solve the case of the gold sand being swapped.

Since he couldn't trust the people around him, he could only use his own family. He called his children to his side and whispered:
"Ke'er, I'll leave this matter to you. Transfer a group of people from outside the capital to secretly monitor these people in our family and investigate their daily whereabouts and words and deeds, including but not limited to where they went every day, who they met, what they carried, any changes after entering and leaving, what they said, what they did... In short, no matter how big or small, the clearer the better."

Xue Ke bowed and agreed, then hesitated for a moment and asked hesitantly:

"Master, these people have been employed by our family for a long time. Isn't it a bit too rash to suspect them just because of what Jia Fuyin said?"

Master Xue sighed and said:

"How can I not know what you are talking about?"

"In fact, in my heart, I don't really believe that these people were our own people, but rationally I also suspect that it was done by an insider."

"Although the warehouse's defenses are not tight enough and it is easy for someone to sneak in, the box containing the gold sand is not locked with the Jia Mansion's lock."

"Although the gold is small in size, it is heavy. If it was not moved several times, it must have been committed by multiple people."

"If they were transported so many times without us noticing, it couldn't be an outsider sneaking in, so it could only be a traitor in our family."

"And when so many people committed the crime without making any noise, it's definitely not a mob. It's possible that some nobles in the Jia Mansion took the lead in doing it. At the very least, it must be a manager."

"I don't want to believe either of these two possibilities, but I have to believe them!"

"Since Old Madam Jia has spoken, it has been decided. If we want to marry into the Jia family, we cannot go against Old Madam Jia's wishes. Whether we believe it or not, we must act according to her words."

"So, you have to make a big announcement about your investigation of your own people, let everyone in the Jia family know that we are conducting a self-investigation, and give an explanation to Old Madam Jia."

"But on the other hand, privately, you should arrange for some other people to secretly keep an eye on the masters and stewards of the Jia Mansion to see if they have been extravagant recently, or if they have incurred any gambling debts or the like."

"If you find out anything, remember to keep quiet and tell me quietly. I will talk to Old Lady Jia privately and resolve the matter secretly."

"Since the Jia family cares about face, then we should give them enough face. As long as we can get the gold sand back, even if we are laughed at by them a few times, it won't be a big deal."

Xue Ke finally understood, and bowed with sincere admiration:

"Master is really mature in his work, and I have learned from him."

Master Xue smiled proudly, then turned to Baoqin and said:

"I know you've been a little resistant to Mr. Bao recently, but which child of this big family doesn't have some quirks? Are you not going to get married because of this?"

"Or are you willing to marry only a farmer or steward with good conduct in the future?"

"You have lived in this mansion for such a long time. Have you ever heard that Master Bao has any bad habits besides hanging out with women?"

"This shows that he is still quite concerned about public opinion. Even if he has some bad habits, he hides them very well and never lets outsiders find out."

"If Miss Lin hadn't seen it in her dream, how could we know this?"

"This family of the rich and powerful is different from our merchant family. There are many secret things in this family, but as long as they are not known by outsiders, these bad habits are equivalent to non-existent."

"Everyone in this world makes mistakes. There is no such thing as a morally perfect person. Don't be too demanding of your future husband."

"When you two get married, you can persuade him properly. Now is not the time for you to be petty."

Seeing his daughter being scolded until her face turned pale and her whole body trembled, and it was obvious that she was very resistant, Master Xue Er just pretended not to see it and continued:

"Now, because of the gold sand incident, a rift has secretly arisen between our family and the Jia family. If it is found out in the future that this was done by someone from the Jia family, then all the good relationships we created by lending money to the Jia family will probably be ruined."

"But fortunately, Miss Lin has turned away from Master Bao because of what happened in her dream and has turned to Master Zhan. Now no one will compete with you anymore."

"And what you have to do is to gain the favor of Master Bao as soon as possible and make him accept you as a person."

"Only in this way can we preserve this marriage even if the relationship between the two families deteriorates in the future."

"As the saying goes, fortune and disaster go hand in hand. The gold sand being swapped this time is most likely the subsequent disaster after the 'change of fate' that Miss Lin mentioned. However, losing money to avoid disaster is nothing."

"Besides, there is a saying that goes, 'Misfortunes often bring blessings.' You can continue to interact with Master Bao. As long as our two families are married and we have a relationship with the Imperial Concubine, even if they really stole the gold sand, it's not a big deal. We can just use it to do a big favor."

"Don't forget Miss Lin's dream before. The reason why Mr. Bao married you was because he owed our family money. Now they don't want to lend us money, but don't they need to pay back the stolen gold sand?"

"Who knows, this matter may turn out to be a blessing in disguise!"

Master Xue was talking with great enthusiasm, but Baoqin, who was standing beside him, felt more and more sad.

Growing up in a merchant family, I certainly know my master's style of doing things. In a nutshell, profit is the most important thing, and the so-called family affection is much weaker.

After seeing the marriages between the children of various uncles and aunts, Baoqin of course knew that she would also embark on the path of arranged marriage in the future. However, she always had some unrealistic fantasies in her heart. She hoped to find a gentleman who was both of equal social status and had good moral character. If he was also well-read, it would be even better.

It's not like she hadn't seen some potential marriage candidates before, but they were all ugly!

Some of them are big and strong, with big bellies and sweaty bodies, or they are chauvinistic and regard women as subordinate goods. They are polite on the surface but actually look down on everyone. Some are even worse, such as alcoholics, gamblers, and evildoers... It can be said that these people have no good qualities except for their good background.

In comparison, although Baoyu is also a dandy boy, he is a handsome young man, very smart, talented in writing, and respectful to women. He is willing to be humble in front of girls. He is also kind and will not bully others. He is simply an excellent candidate for a husband!
That's why after coming into contact with Baoyu, she became so concerned about this marriage.

But you can never judge a person by his appearance. There is indeed no perfect husband in this world. Even Baoyu has some unknown "quirks". And I'm afraid they are not ordinary quirks, but quirks that even his childhood sweetheart, Miss Lin, can't stand.

Baoqin had come into contact with Miss Lin before, so of course she knew how much Miss Lin valued her brother Bao. Even if Miss Lin found it difficult to accept her "quirk", she might not be able to bear it either.

But she knew very well that under the halo of being the younger brother of the imperial concubine, her master and brother would definitely not be able to resist this temptation. No matter what this "quirk" was, they would force her to accept it.

And as long as she thought of the strange appearances of the previous marriage candidates, even she herself could not refuse Baoyu's marriage.

"Forget it, Master is right. Everyone in this world makes mistakes. There is no such thing as a perfect person. My daughter shouldn't be too demanding of Baoyu."

Baoqin sighed and compromised with her father and brother.

Only then did Master Xue Er change his anger into joy and praised:

"This is right!"

"Baoqin, it's great that you think so."

"I think with your skills, you will definitely be able to control Mr. Bao and prevent him from falling in love with someone else."

"Then I'll leave this to you, Master Bao. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll definitely give you priority."

Baoqin nodded silently. Master Xue Er did not urge her, but turned around and discussed the details of the investigation with Xue Ke.

On the other side, Mr. Zhan came to the old place as agreed with the secretary, swaggered into the house, looked around, and surprisingly did not find Tanchun.

In the past, every time he came for a "massage", he would inevitably chat with Tanchun here for a while to communicate their feelings. Only after their feelings warmed up would it be time for the massage.

However, since Tanchun didn't come this time, he skipped this step and decided to test the level of the new technician and try the clock first.

So Mr. Zhan went straight into the back house, took a bath, lay down on the bed, and pulled the bell on the bedside.

Following the crisp sound of the bell, there was the "click-click" sound of high heels hitting the ground in an orderly manner. The door curtain was lifted, and three people came in one after another and stood side by side in front of the bed.

The two people on the left and right are wearing massage suits from the bath center and light pink tulle miniskirts, while the person in the middle is wearing a purple translucent evening dress with black silk high heels and a small silver bell on her ankle.

But the common point is that all three of them have number plates hanging around their waists, from number one to number three. They hold a small bag in front of them with both hands, bow slightly to Master Zhan, and say:
"Hello, boss. I'm the number one technician, Shishu."

"Hello, boss. I'm Cui Mo, the second technician."

"Hello, boss. I'm the new technician number three... Tanchun."

"Which one would you like to choose to serve you?"

Seeing that Tanchun actually came down in person, and was shy and timid, with an expression that looked ready to be taken advantage of, Master Zhan immediately became interested, stretched out his hand towards Tanchun, and shouted:

"it is good!"

"Just the technician number three!"

"Come here and serve the master, and the other two will watch!"

Shi Shu and Cui Mo, who were originally preparing to avoid the situation, were stunned for a moment after hearing what Master Zhan said, and then subconsciously looked at their own young lady next to them.

Tanchun was already very shy. It took all her strength to stand there and say what she just said. Now, hearing Mr. Zhan being so ridiculous, the blush on her face spread all the way to her neck. She lowered her head and looked at her toes, unable to take a step forward.

Mr. Zhan wanted to tease Tanchun, so he said with a smile:

"It seems that this technician number three doesn't have a good sense of service!"

"How about this, number one and number two stop standing by and watch, the three of you just come together!"

It's already too much to just watch, and now they want to join in. How is this possible?

"Don't!" Tanchun blurted out subconsciously, then raised her eyes and saw Master Zhan's mischievous smile. She suddenly came to her senses and became even more embarrassed. She didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly waved to Shishu and Cui Mo, signaling them to leave.

In fact, the two men didn't want to leave, but they still had to give face to their young lady, so they had to retreat angrily. Before leaving, they even threw coquettish glances at Master Zhan who was lying on the bed.

"You two little rascals, you dare not listen to the master. I will teach you a lesson later!"

After Mr. Zhan laughed and scolded, he did not stop the two of them from leaving. After all, this kind of thing should be done step by step. As long as this start was made, there would always be a way to make Tanchun give in.

With Master Zhan's extraordinary talents, wouldn't it be easy for him to control a little girl like Tanchun?
The maid and the secretary lifted the door curtain and went out. The "click-click" sound of high heels gradually faded away, and the blush on Tanchun's face also faded a lot.

Seeing that Tanchun was very embarrassed, Master Zhan did not urge her, but just lay down on the bed, looking at her with a smile, without saying a word. Tanchun glanced at Master Zhan's swollen part, and inadvertently thought of practicing props again. Her heart was in turmoil again, fearing that she could not withstand the torture in a while, so she had to secretly cheer herself up.

"If even Shishu and Cuimo can handle it, I can do it too!"

She swallowed a few times nervously before stepping forward and climbing onto the bed, saying:
"Technician No. 3 Tanchun, serving the boss."

Master Zhan turned over and lay there, watching Tanchun hurriedly take out the massage oil, pour some on her hands, rub her hands together to warm them, then press them on Master Zhan's back and start massaging vigorously.

Anyone who has ever had a massage knows that massage is a two-way service.

While the technician is massaging the guest, the guest can also massage the technician.

The technician massages the customer's back, and the customer can massage the technician's legs at the same time.

If the technician is massaging the customer's chest, the customer can of course also massage the technician's chest at the same time.

From this point of view, it is unreasonable for the technicians to charge customers. It is the same massage, why should they charge more? And why is it so expensive?

Of course, if you take into account the differences in massage techniques and the differences in appearance and body shape between the two parties, then there is a reason why it is so expensive.

How could Mr. Zhan, who is such a well-behaved person, just keep his hands idle?
So when Tanchun was wholeheartedly massaging Master Zhan, her body suddenly stiffened and she felt a big hand suddenly appear on her calf, stroking the smooth stockings, and going all the way up, straight into the penalty area.

"Don't..." Tanchun subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it, but then she realized the purpose of her visit in person and retracted her hand.

Therefore, in the absence of any obstruction, Master Zhan naturally reached the pass as if he were in an empty space.

During these days, Tanchun had done many imaginary things with Shishu and Cuimo in the name of practice. She was no longer the innocent little lady who knew nothing. Now that she was provoked by Master Zhan, her subconscious action was not to close her legs, but to slightly open them, as if she was opening the door to welcome thieves.

However, Master Zhan was not ready to eat her up right now. After all, the Rongguo Mansion was still in great turmoil. There was no need to create trouble for himself. He did not lack one or two women like this. Sooner or later, she would not be able to escape from his clutches anyway.

Good things should be eaten slowly, there is no need to rush.

Mr. Zhan is a man who knows how to have fun. He knows how to slowly simmer the soup until it makes it tasty. He will definitely not be like those young men who have never seen a woman and just chew on a peony.

So Mr. Zhan moved his fingers slightly and played a song "Hair Like Snow" on the mouse wheel. Such excellent musical accomplishment made Tanchun tremble all over, and she didn't even have the strength to massage.

Seeing that Tanchun was beginning to slack off and was pressing herself against him, Master Zhan became unhappy and helped Tanchun up, shouting in a deep voice:
"Technician No. 3, your service attitude is not good!"

"How can you be lazy?"

"Don't you see that I have worked hard all day and am exhausted?"

"You can't just skip these steps in the massage!"

The migrant worker Tanchun was caught slacking off and her face turned red with shame. She quickly pushed Mr. Zhan's back and quickly moved on to the next part.

She first asked Master Zhan to turn over and lie on his back, then she leaned on him, opened her mouth and offered her small tongue, doing a set of oral care for Master Zhan. At the same time, her body was not honest and rubbed against Master Zhan's body.

In order to prevent Mr. Zhan from resisting, Tanchun lifted her knees, separated Mr. Zhan's legs to the left and right, and slowly moved her calves, using her slippery stockings to reduce friction and resistance, making it difficult for him to exert force.

As for her slender hands, she directly grabbed the hostage Xiao Zhan and dealt damage steadily and continuously.

After careful training from Aunt Zhao, Shishu and Cui Mo, Tanchun's skills were actually quite good, but it was a pity that she met Master Zhan, who was even more skilled.

As a frequent visitor to foot massage parlors, massage parlors, and nightclubs, and a super VVVIP client of each, Mr. Zhan's martial arts skills are already beyond model level.

Although Tanchun's attack power was strong, her defense was very weak. However, after a little trick played by Mr. Zhan, she became unable to breathe and had to interrupt her oral care routine.

Master Zhan took advantage of the situation and took the opportunity to pursue the victory. He lowered his head and raided the steamed bun and pastry center. While feasting on the food, he also began to draw talismans here to seal Tanchun's fighting power.

Now both sides have hostages in the hands of the other side. After verbal negotiations, they finally reached an agreement to exchange Xiao Zhan for the Pastry Center.

But Tanchun was cunning. After the hostage exchange was completed, she immediately attacked again, bit Xiaozhan and released venom to attack him.

Xiao Zhan persisted and persisted, but was eventually poisoned, foaming at the mouth, and needed to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Mr. Zhan was furious and played a song "Sheng Sheng Man" on the mouse wheel, and finally obtained the therapeutic serum for the venom.

After the round of fighting, Tanchun curled up in Master Zhan's arms contentedly, blushing as she whispered:

"Please have mercy, sir."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhan refused righteously:
"You cut corners when giving massages, but you want me to do the hard labor. How can that be possible?"

"Let's call technician number one and technician number two to come in and show you how to serve the boss properly!"

When Tanchun heard this, she was shocked and shouted:

"No!"

"Boss, wait a moment. I'll rest for a while and come back again. Please don't let those two people in."

Mr. Zhan is a kind-hearted man. He couldn't bear to see the technician sister's salary being deducted, so he let her go and waited until she had enough rest before trying something new.

This went on until it was almost dark. The technician's sister was exhausted and had no strength to fight anymore. Master Zhan then showed mercy and stopped the clock. Instead, he called in Shishu and Cui Mo, and started beating Tanchun up, letting her see how much Master Zhan pitied her.

After a fierce battle, the satisfied Master Zhan sent a car to secretly send the three women back to Rongguo Mansion.

The two maids and the secretary helped Tanchun get out of the car. They told others that she had accidentally twisted her foot and went straight back to the courtyard.

When Aunt Zhao saw Tanchun like this, she thought her plan had worked, and she came over happily.

"Don't worry, my daughter. When the queen arrives, I will quietly tell her the news and make sure you become the legitimate wife of the Zhan family."

But after hearing this, Tanchun blushed and said awkwardly:
"Aunt, don't be too happy. Although Master Zhan has accepted his daughter's service, he has never broken through the last hurdle!"

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao was stunned at first, but then she shouted angrily:
"I've told you so many times that only when Mr. Zhan is completely obsessed with you can he temporarily forget the consequences and eat you up. At this calm moment, he will definitely not seek trouble for himself."

"But you just don't believe it, and you resist the tricks I taught you in every way, and you don't take them seriously at all.

"Now you're done, you've been taken advantage of for nothing, but you didn't make it past the last, most important hurdle. Your goal hasn't been achieved at all, and everything you've done is in vain!"

Tanchun was still weak all over at this moment, lying on the bed, sighing helplessly:

"I thought I had done everything very attentively. I had forced myself to do many despicable things. How could I have known that it would end up like this?"

Aunt Zhao heard this and pinched her hard, then scolded her angrily:

"The problem lies in your attitude!"

"What are you talking about? What are you holding back? That's not right!"

"This is such a happy thing between men and women. How can it be so lowly or not? What do you need to endure? You have to accept it happily and pray for it!"

"Don't think that I don't know about the mess you and Shishu and the other two little girls are having!"

"I don't know much else, but I know more about sex than the three of you combined!"

"When you three were messing around, why didn't you say anything about being slutty or just holding back?"

"If your mentality is not right, you can't act coquettishly from the bottom of your heart, and you can't seduce a playboy like Mr. Zhan who has countless women!"

After her aunt exposed the truth, Tanchun was extremely embarrassed. Her face turned red, she lowered her head, twisted her clothes with her hands, and could not utter a word.

Shi Shu and Cui Mo were also embarrassed, and they didn't want their young lady to be scolded by the aunt, so they tried to smooth things over:

"Auntie, Master Zhan has already enjoyed the young lady, so what does it matter whether she passes the last level or not?"

"If it doesn't work, you can just use that practice prop to help the lady poke it open."

"Anyway, the queen can't tell whether it was you who stabbed it or Master Zhan who stabbed it."

"Yes, yes!" Tanchun seemed to have found a magic trick and quickly agreed, "Anyway, Master Zhan can't deny what happened between us. Whether we can pass this last hurdle or not, we just need to fool the Empress, right?"

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao immediately went up to the secretary and slapped her in the face, cursing:

"idiot!"

"You little slut, you know nothing!"

"That's not how it's done!"

She turned her head and glared at Tanchun, scolding:

"You can't do things just for the present without thinking about the future!"

"If you do this, maybe you can get the Queen to arrange a marriage for you, but what about Master Zhan's attitude?"

"You have to understand that in matters between men and women, the man's attitude is always the most important!"

"You have deceived Master Zhan in this regard. Aren't you afraid that Master Zhan will treat you coldly when you return to the Zhan Mansion?"

"Master Zhan knows that he has never broken your body, but your membrane is gone. Wouldn't he be suspicious and guess that you gave your body to someone else first?"

"Remember this clearly, this girl's first time must be seen by her man himself!"

"understand?"

This was the first time that Aunt Zhao looked so angry. Tanchun was so frightened that she trembled all over and nodded hurriedly to agree.

After all, this is her own daughter, so after scolding her, Aunt Zhao could only give her some advice.

"Forget it, forget it. It's all my fault. How could I give birth to a stupid girl like you?"

"I will come over later to teach you some dance moves. Combined with the bells and rings I got from the Zhan Mansion, it will surely open Master Zhan's eyes."

"You have to study hard this time, otherwise after Master Zhan sees it, it may not work the next time."

"I understand, auntie. I will study hard this time."

Seeing that Tanchun had honestly agreed, Aunt Zhao turned around and left the courtyard with a heavy heart.
