The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 175 The Master seems to be recovering well

"what?"

Mrs. Xing was shocked at first, but then she understood.

Since even Lady Wang and Li Wan can join the Veil Society, then adding Aunt Zhao is not a big deal!

This is better, at least I don’t have to worry about her telling other people about it.

Moreover, it was obvious that Aunt Zhao came prepared. She had found out all the information before coming to ask for introduction.

but……

"Why don't you go find your wife and ask her to introduce you?"

"Uh..." Faced with Madam Xing's question, Aunt Zhao hesitated for a moment, then told the truth: "I was bullied by Madam at home. The reason I joined the Veil Society was purely to seek protection. I wanted the sisters in the Veil Society to help mediate and let Madam let me go."

"..." Mrs. Xing was speechless after hearing this. After you join the Veil Society, your wife will indeed let you go, but there will be someone else to torture you. However... it doesn't seem like you've lost out at all!
Although Madam Xing had to share the secret medicine with other sisters, she was still far from achieving rejuvenation. However, the older her body became, the more sensitive it was to the effects of the secret medicine. She was already very aware of the changes that were slowly taking place in her body, and now she knew how precious the secret medicine was.

Naturally, like Mrs. Wang, she didn't want to add any more competitors.

If there is one more woman, she will have to eat one less bite.

Mrs. Xing hesitated for a moment and said vaguely:

"It's not impossible for me to introduce you, but if your wife is unhappy about this, wouldn't I have offended her for nothing?"

"Why don't you discuss it with your wife and ask her to make an introduction for you?"

Aunt Zhao raised her eyebrows and said:
"If the Second Madam could make sense, would I have to come to you?"

"I think you are alone in the Veil Society, with no one to take care of you. It would be better for us to form a partnership and help each other so that we can take care of each other."

"The Second Madam has Li Gongcai to help her in the Veil Society. If you give me a hand now, if you encounter any problems in the future, at least I can cheer you on and support you!"

After hearing Aunt Zhao's self-recommendation, Mrs. Xing's eyes flickered, and she was obviously moved.

Although she has a good appearance and figure, she is over 30 years old after all. If she doesn't have any special features, it will be difficult for her to attract Mr. Zhan to come and have his favor.

However, even if she and Aunt Zhao formed a team, there would be no bond between them, and I'm afraid the temptation would not be enough!
When you think of the sisterhood of Xiaojiu and Xiaoshiyi, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship of Xiaoshi and Xiaoshiyi, they are all first-class eye-catching weapons. If you compare the Xing Zhao combination with them, the difference is immediately obvious, they are no match at all!

Instead, he had to share half of the secret medicine with her. It was too much of a price to pay and not worth it.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to just choose the wooden Yingchun. After all, there is a mother-daughter identity card to use, which greatly increases the attack and defense capabilities.

It’s a pity that Feng Lazi returned to the Wang family, otherwise if she were included, it would be a perfect combination, and she would definitely be able to seduce the favor of Master Zhan!

After thinking it through, Mrs. Xing shook her head and refused:
"What's the point of waving flags and shouting, beating drums to cheer, you'll be lucky if you don't snatch food from the tiger's mouth when the time comes!"

"If you want to join the Veil Society, then go and discuss it with Sister Xiaoyi. As long as she agrees, I will naturally have no objection."

Aunt Zhao tried to persuade her again, but Mrs. Xing had already determined that she was here to steal food, and she was determined not to give her a chance and refused.

Aunt Zhao had no choice but to leave in anger. After leaving Jia She's yard and reaching a secluded place, she spat viciously in this direction.

"Pooh!"

"Without Zhang the butcher, will I still have to eat hairy pigs?"

"You're not the only one who can recommend me!"

"As long as I know the name of the Veil Society, I won't have to worry about not being able to find someone to introduce me to!"

After venting her anger, Aunt Zhao, with a full harvest, went towards Li Wan's courtyard with greater confidence.

Li Wan was eaten by Master Zhan relatively early, so she gained relatively more. She was not very old to begin with, and now she seems to be returning to her youth.

In order to avoid being discovered by outsiders these days, she has been staying at home rarely. When she has to go out, she puts on older-looking makeup to cover up the collagen on her face, and then wraps herself tightly to prevent her delicate skin from being seen.

Moreover, because Jia Huan passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, the ability of the famous teacher invited by Mr. Zhan was highly recognized, and Li Wan was even more confident in leaving her son to Mr. Zhan. So now Jia Lan goes to Zhan's house to study every day and returns by car in the evening.

Of course, this period of time is definitely not the entertainment time that Li Wan left for Mr. Zhan.

Because ever since Little Eleven and Little Twelve returned to their positions, this entertainment venue has moved to an underground devil's cave. Every night, groups of monsters gather there, and if there are Taoist priests coming to subdue the monsters, a war will start. If there are no invaders, a civil war will break out. Every night, the killing is so intense that the sky is dark and the earth is dark, and the road is even wiped out.

If she wasn't worried about being discovered by outsiders, Li Wan would have asked Sister Xiaojiu to dig a tunnel directly under her bed so that she could enter the battlefield at any time.

Because the main battlefields are all at night, Li Wan now spends her day recuperating and doesn't even play with toys.

Aunt Zhao came during the day, so naturally she wouldn't encounter any embarrassing situations.

Upon hearing that Aunt Zhao was coming to visit, Li Wan was surprised. She hurriedly asked Suyun to welcome Aunt Zhao into the room. She quickly put some powder on her face, put on an old-fashioned makeup, and then came out to meet the guest.

"Oh, what a rare guest! Why is Auntie here today? Does Madam have any instructions?"

When Aunt Zhao heard that Li Wan also regarded her as the lady's messenger, she suddenly felt a little unhappy.

When the master was normal before, she had never been Mrs. Wang's vassal. But now that the master has been ill for only a few days, everyone treats her as Mrs. Wang's running dog.

Although in fact she was, lies don't hurt, the truth is a sharp knife, and the more true it was, the angrier she became.

It seems that it is necessary to find another big and thick leg to hug besides the master!

She had to enter this veil!
She did not answer Li Wan's question, but waved her hands at Suyun and Biyue, smiling and saying:
"I have something to say to your grandmother. You guys should go and rest first."

Li Wan asked Suyun and the other two to leave, and then she said angrily:

"Why is Auntie still so mysterious? Is there something shameful to say?"

Aunt Zhao smiled, stared at Li Wan, and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Gongcai, what should I call you?"

"Should I call you Li Gongcai, or Little Thirteen of the Veil Society?"

According to Aunt Zhao, since Mrs. Wang was the eleventh child and Mrs. Xing was the twelfth child, it was natural that Li Wan, who was of lower generation and status than them, should be ranked lower than them. So she put the position of the thirteenth child above Li Wan.

Li Wan was shocked at first, but when she heard that she had called the wrong number, she immediately felt relieved. She looked at her and then chuckled:
"Did Auntie hear some rumors somewhere and come here to cheat me?"

Seeing Li Wan's behavior, Aunt Zhao thought she was just pretending to be scheming, and continued to tell others the information she knew.

"Haha, not only do I know that you are Little Thirteen, I also know that our wife is Little Eleven and the eldest wife is Little Twelve."

"Now, does the palace judge still think that I am bluffing and cheating?"

"Eh?" Li Wan was stunned. "These two are right. Did you eavesdrop on the conversation between the first wife and the mistress?"

Aunt Zhao raised her eyebrows and sneered:
"Palace judge, don't worry about how I know this. Anyway, I already know about the Veil Society. How I know this is important?"

"...That's true." Li Wan nodded. "Since Auntie already knows, I won't hide it from her. I am indeed a member of the Veil Society, but I am not Little Thirteen, but Little Ten. Even the two ladies have to call me sister in the Veil Society."

Ok?
Aunt Zhao was stunned. How come Li Gongcai had a higher status than the two ladies?

But this is a good thing!
This shows that the members of the Veil Society are not sorted according to their status.

What is the order of that?

Could it be that they are ranked according to their abilities?

Probably!

This Li Gongcai was also the housekeeper in the past. If Jia Zhu had not died young, she might be the eldest in the family now.

The more Aunt Zhao thought about it, the more it made sense. If the ranking was not based on ability, why would Li Wan be ranked above her mother-in-law?
They can't be ranked according to beauty and figure, right?
Aunt Zhao couldn't help but feel a little warmed up. If this was the case, maybe she would be able to climb over Lady Wang in the future!
Realizing that Li Wan held a high position in the Veil Society, Aunt Zhao's attitude softened immediately, and she immediately smiled and said:
"Oh, look at me, my old eyes are blurry, I can't recognize gold and jade, I didn't even recognize my sister."

Li Wan was shocked by Aunt Zhao's arrogant and respectful attitude, and said in surprise:

"What are you doing, Aunt? Why are you calling me sister?"

Aunt Zhao said with a shameless face:

"I admire this Veil Society and would like to join it. I would like to ask the palace judge to introduce me to one or two people."

"If I really join this association in the future, won't I have to call you Sister Gongcai?"

Only then did Li Wan realize the purpose of Aunt Zhao's visit.

She glanced over Aunt Zhao and saw that she had an exquisite figure, with curves in the right places and a foxy face that was three times prettier than hers. She knew that this was someone her master was looking for.

However, like Madam Xing, Li Wan and Aunt Zhao have no relatives or friends, and they don't want to add another competitor to their family.

She didn't know whether Aunt Zhao knew the special nature of Master Zhan's secret medicine, and she couldn't ask directly, so she said hesitantly:

"Aunt, you are so unreasonable. Why do you have to join the Veil Society?" Aunt Zhao looked at Li Wan and hesitated for a moment. Considering that she was Mrs. Wang's daughter-in-law, it was not easy to tell her ambitions truthfully, so she found an excuse and said:
"I planned to let my daughter Tanchun marry Mr. Zhan, but the mistress has been obstructing me and refused to agree. So I thought of asking Sister Xiaojiu to mediate so that Tanchun can get married smoothly."

Good guy!
You really are willing to do that!
Li Wan looked at Aunt Zhao deeply, knowing that as long as Aunt Zhao played her daughter's ghost card, she would be able to scratch her master's itch immediately.

As long as Mr. Zhan nods, Aunt Zhao will be able to overcome all obstacles, and no one can stop her from becoming a member of the Veil Society.

If that's the case, why should she be the bad guy? She could just go with the flow and do him a favor.

After figuring it out, Li Wan sighed:
"Well, since my aunt is so ambitious, I have no reason to stop you. I will recommend you to join the Veil Society."

"I'll send a letter to Sister Xiaojiu in a moment and ask them to get ready."

"Tonight, Auntie and I will go to Lixiangyuan together. Let's hold a welcoming ceremony for Auntie. You will be Little Thirteen from now on."

"Okay, okay!" Aunt Zhao was overjoyed. She smiled and said flatteringly, "It's already this late. Sister, why are you still calling me Aunt? Just call me Little Thirteen from now on!"

Seeing Aunt Zhao being so relaxed, Li Wan knew that she and her daughter would surely be favored by the master in the future. She wanted to get closer to her, so she kindly reminded her:

"You should also go back and get ready, dress up, and be more energetic for the evening."

Aunt Zhao thanked him profusely and said many nice things before she said goodbye and left.

Although she didn't know why she had to dress up nicely, she thought it was to give a good impression to the other sisters, so Aunt Zhao removed the gorgeous makeup that she usually used to seduce the master, and put on a more solemn and light makeup, and also chose dignified and appropriate clothes.

She first dealt with Jia Zheng's side, helped him to sleep, and then went out to find Li Wan.

Seeing Aunt Zhao suddenly change her makeup, Li Wan was stunned at first, then suddenly realized that this contrast might make her master more excited, so she said no more, just smiled and gave her a thumbs up, praising her:
"As expected, Xiao Shisan, you are knowledgeable. This outfit is indeed suitable."

"It was my sister who reminded me of this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of this."

After saying a few words of thanks, Aunt Zhao went to Lixiangyuan hand in hand with Li Wan.

Hongye went out to pick them up and brought them in. She took them down the underground palace and into the magic cave with ease.

When Hongye pushed open the heavy door, Aunt Xue's heart was pounding, and she felt as if a door to a new world had opened in front of her.

The devil's cave had long been renovated by Master Zhan. Now it was brightly lit. The huge crystal chandelier on the ceiling illuminated the place like daylight, and it looked priceless.

The glass cups on the table, the cashmere blankets on the floor, and even the many magic weapons and props on the shelves, many of which Aunt Zhao had never seen before, let alone imagined in her dreams.

Is this the royal atmosphere?

Aunt Zhao was just like Granny Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden. Her eyes were dazzled and she felt restrained and unable to relax.

But when she glanced around, she saw a beautiful woman with a veil on her face, staring at her angrily.

Just by looking at her figure and shape, she recognized her at a glance. This was clearly her wife.

The training that Madam Wang had given her these days was not without effect. She subconsciously shrank back, her knees a little weak, but another veiled woman next to her pulled Madam Wang back and said with a smile:
"Good sister, from now on Xiao Shisan will be our sister, please don't abuse her anymore."

"If you have any complaints, you can express them slowly during the welcome ceremony. I can help you."

Xiao Shiyi stared at Aunt Zhao and sneered, "Sister Xiaojiu is right. Since we are sisters, I, as the elder sister, have to teach my younger sister some rules!"

Listening to their conversation, Aunt Zhao felt a chill in her heart for no reason. Why did this welcome ceremony sound like something that didn't seem like a good thing?
Just as she was feeling worried, she saw Sister Xiaojiu approaching with lotus steps, holding her hand and pulling her to the big bed in the middle of the room, smiling and saying to everyone:

"From now on, Xiao Shisan will be our sister. If you encounter any difficulties in your daily life, you must help each other."

"Also, I heard from Xiao Shi that Xiao Shisan was planning to marry his daughter to Master Zhan as a concubine, but was stopped by Xiao Shiyi."

"This is not good, Xiao Shiyi, you don't want Master Zhan to know about this, right?"

Xiao Shiyi nodded angrily and agreed:
"Forget it. I just didn't want Little Thirteen to take advantage of the Veil Society. I didn't want to make Master Zhan unhappy."

"Since she has taken the initiative to come to me and ask to join, I certainly don't dare to continue to obstruct her."

"I will go and tell the master to send Tanchun to Master Zhan later."

Originally, when Aunt Zhao heard their conversation, she was quite confused about the veil, but now when she saw Mrs. Wang lowering her head, she immediately threw aside the slight doubts in her heart and made up her mind to join.

She hurriedly hammered the nail around the corner and thanked Sister Xiaojiu:
"Xiao Shisan thanks Sister Xiao Jiu for doing justice. From now on, if Sister gives any orders, Xiao Shisan will obey them obediently."

Xiaojiu smiled and stretched out his hand, pushing her down on the bed.

"We'll talk about this later. Come on, let's hold a welcome ceremony for you first."

Xiao Shisan was stunned for a moment, and a bad premonition suddenly occurred in his heart. He was speechless and said:

"This welcome ceremony...what kind of welcome is it?"

Xiao Shiyi came over with a sneer, stretched out his hand to flip her over, pressed her face down, and sneered:
"Of course, let the sisters lead you to open the door to a new world!"

Aunt Zhao's head buzzed, and she suddenly remembered the many new and strange ways of playing that she had seen at Mrs. Wang's place before. At that time, she wondered where she learned it. Now she realized that this veil club was the root of everything.

"How could this be?"

"You didn't tell me before?"

In response to Aunt Zhao's question, Li Wan replied in surprise:

"You came here before as if you knew everything, so I thought you already knew it, so I never mentioned it."

"What?" Aunt Zhao suddenly felt like crying, regretting her family's reckless behavior for the first time. "Sister, can this welcome ceremony be cancelled?"

"Of course not!" Xiao Shiyi immediately refused, "You have already joined the club. If you want to quit, there is no way!"

Aunt Zhao had no choice but to sigh and lie down obediently.

Seeing that Xiao Shisan was ready, the sisters didn't bother to be polite with her and came up to teach her with love.

At this point, Xiao Shisan realized that there are always people better than you, and there are so many ways to entertain yourself in this world.

At first, she was only a small person and thought she knew many ways to play the game. She could fool her master around and make him obey her. She thought she was the best entertainment expert in the world.

But after meeting Mrs. Wang, she realized that there is always someone stronger than you, and there is always someone more capable than you.

She didn't even recognize many of the things in Mrs. Wang's place, and her various entertainment techniques were beyond her reach. It could be said that her eyes were opened and she saw the world.

Who would have thought that after discussing it with so many sisters, I realized that my so-called worldly experience was nothing more than this.

Just as I was immersed in happiness, I suddenly saw all the sisters prostrating themselves on the ground, shouting:

"I've met the master!"

master?

What master?

Whose master?

Aren’t all the veils worn by women women? Why did a man suddenly appear?

Xiao Shisan's brain was empty at the moment, as if he was in a fog. His thoughts were extremely slow, and before he could figure things out, he fell into a deep dream.

In this dream, she would sometimes soar into the sky, sometimes fall into the bottomless abyss, drifting here and there with nowhere to rely on.

After dying countless times, Xiao Shisan finally got relief and finally understood why Mrs. Wang knew Mr. Zhan's secret.

She didn't need anyone to tell her this secret; she just experienced it herself!

What a bullshit veil club, it’s clearly Master Zhan’s back garden!

Aunt Zhao really felt like crying but had no tears at this moment!
She shouldn't be so smart!
Now, she has lost her virginity to another man for no apparent reason.

Although she is a snobbish person and is used to coaxing her men to achieve her goals, she is not really a fickle woman.

Under normal circumstances, she would definitely remain faithful to Master Zheng for her entire life and would never cheat on him.

But now it's too late. Chastity is like moral integrity. Once lost, it can never be regained.

Ugh!
Aunt Zhao sighed and began to face reality.

She is such a realistic person. Once she finds that something is impossible, she will immediately give in. This was the case when she faced Mrs. Wang before, and it is even more so now.

Moreover, the effect of this secret medicine is really effective!
Maybe this thing can really save the master from a stroke.

Eh?
Aunt Zhao's eyes suddenly became dull, and she suddenly remembered that now that she had lost her virginity to Master Zhan and had found a new thigh to cling to, was there any need for her to rescue her own master again?

Otherwise... it seems like a good idea to let my master lie down and recuperate slowly!
