The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 61 Baochai and Keqing

Master Zhan is going to take another concubine!
It had only been over a month since he last took a concubine, and he already took a new one. This was really a bit too fast.

But in this day and age, this is not a big deal. After all, it doesn’t matter if rich people take concubines every day.

But this time, Master Zhan is taking in a concubine, and he has to hold a wedding banquet and entertain guests.

If it were someone else, he would definitely think that Master Zhan was collecting membership fees in disguise, but as soon as he inquired about the identity of the woman who was taken as a concubine, he immediately dismissed the idea.

Because the woman who was taken as a concubine this time was named Xing, and was the niece of the second wife of Master She of Rongguo Mansion.

This person is not an ordinary person, so this marriage is definitely not an ordinary marriage. It cannot be judged according to the common sense of taking a concubine.

Therefore, everyone had to prepare their gifts again and come to attend the wedding.

Especially at the Baolinghou Mansion, Shi Nai came in person this time.

Last time, I underestimated my nephew Zhan Xian and missed out on the wine and beverage business that I should have gotten. How could I make the same mistake again this time?

Making the same mistake once is just a mistake, but making it twice is stupidity!
Also coming with them were representatives from several other families of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, because when Master Zhan sent out the invitations, he had someone convey a message that he planned to expand the Erguotou liquor business and hand over the business outside the capital to the various families. He invited each family to come and discuss the division of territories in each province and the allocation of liquor shares.

Previously, Master Zhan wanted to make his presence felt in the ears of the Emperor, so he thought about turning Erguotou into tribute wine. Through the Xue family, he asked the opinions of the big officials behind the imperial merchants, thinking of spending money to buy an opportunity.

Who would have thought that those guys might have thought that the Xue family really had a say in the wine business, so they asked for a share of the profits.

What they wanted was not the profit from the tribute wine purchased by the court, but the overall profit from the wine, which they wanted to participate in distributing.

This really makes them blind!

This bunch of castrated dogs are so greedy!

Just because of the conflict with Prince Zhongshun, Zhan Ershisi turned to the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, and even submitted a letter of allegiance to "reasonable tax avoidance". He simply gave up the idea of ​​​​tribute wine and turned to cooperate with the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.

Due to production issues, Erguotou can currently only be supplied to Beijing and is not sold elsewhere.

But since he wanted to win over the four kings and eight dukes to carry out that big plan, Zhan Twenty-four must of course let these hungry wolves smell the meat first.

The expansion of Erguotou production is imminent.

He decided to hand over the markets outside the capital to the four kings and eight dukes.

If you eat meat at home, you should also let others drink the soup, right?
Anyway, he is the supplier, and he decides the pricing and supply volume, so he doesn't have to worry about other companies becoming too big.

Once everyone has made money, they will then be more credible when they talk about their big plans.

With such a bait hanging in front, the four kings and eight dukes all sent people over.

Although not the masters of each family came in person, they were all people of some importance in the family.

After all, they will have to divide the pork on the same table later. If the person who comes is not of high enough status, he will definitely not be able to argue with others. The result is that the territory he gets back will definitely be the smallest, and that will be a big loss.

As the bride's relatives, Lian Er and his wife were busy in the Zhan Mansion with Yang Yougong, the butler of the Zhan Mansion, preparing various wedding matters.

The real relatives of the woman, Mr. and Mrs. Xing Zhong, sat very uncomfortably in the chief seat, with a smile on their faces, chatting and drinking with Master She and his wife.

Master She made a fortune this time!

Although he has always been the legitimate heir to the Rongguo Mansion and a first-class general recognized by the court, because he is incompetent and not liked by Lady Jia, many of the things that used to represent the Rongguo Mansion have now been done by Jia Zheng.

At this time, he was just marrying a niece with whom he had no close relationship, but he could still participate in the division of the wine and beverage business among the four kings and eight dukes as a representative of the Rongguo Mansion, and he would definitely get the biggest share.

Although the money eventually belonged to the entire Rongguo Mansion, as the eldest master who accomplished this matter, he could naturally get a share of the profits.

While he was chatting casually with Xing Zhong and his wife, he began to wonder how he could think of a way to get his nephew-in-law Zhan Ershisi to give him a back door so that part of the income that originally belonged to Rongguo Mansion could be deducted and transferred to his name.

As for whether this would cause any adverse effects on the Rongguo Mansion, he didn't really care.

Looking at Master Zhan who was smiling and welcoming guests, Master She felt more and more satisfied, and felt more and more that Master Zhan looked like his son-in-law.

What a pity, why did he get engaged so early!
Not to mention how regretful Master She was, the guests below, seeing this scene, began to talk and whisper to each other.

"Who is this Mr. Zhan? Why are so many nobles giving him face?"

"I heard that he is a famous local gentry in Hebei, from a scholarly family."

"But there doesn't seem to be any official in the court with the last name Zhan!"

"Then who knows?"

"But if you look at the distinguished guests sitting at the tables in the front row, you will know that this Mr. Zhan is definitely someone of some importance."

"Some time ago, the concubine that Master Zhan took was the sister of the eldest lady of Ningguo Mansion. This time, the concubine he took is the niece of the eldest lady of Rongguo Mansion. If you want to say that Master Zhan has no background, I don't believe it anyway."

As everyone was talking, the receptionist outside called out again in a long voice:

"A distinguished guest has arrived, and Prince Zhongshun's Mansion has sent a gift..."

This time, not only the guests were in an uproar, but even the dignitaries in the front row turned around to look.

The man who came in was wearing a green robe and a small hat, and looked like a manager, but he walked with a limp and his face was covered with bruises.

Master Zhan saw clearly that this was obviously the one he threw down from Chunfeng Tower that day.

However, he had never hit this guy in the face that day. The wound on his face was obviously caused by his own master.

What does Prince Zhongshun mean?

Beating this guy up like this and then sending him here with gifts is a way of showing goodwill and trying to win him over?

Isn't it a bit late?

No matter what, everyone who comes is a guest, and he is not the one who suffers a loss, so Zhan Ershisi greeted him with a smile.

"Oh, Your Highness is so polite. It's just a small matter of taking a concubine. I never intended to disturb Your Highness. I am so sorry."

The steward no longer looked rebellious. In front of everyone, he first handed over the gift list to express his regards as Prince Zhongshun, then he kowtowed and smiled flatteringly:

"I didn't know that Master Zhan and the prince knew each other. I accidentally offended Master Zhan that day. I hope Master Zhan will forgive me."

Zhan Ershi laughed, patted his shoulder and said:
"I didn't know that you were from Prince Zhongshun's palace, otherwise how could I have taken action?"

"As the saying goes, there is no friendship without fighting. You better drink a few more cups today, bro."

The two of them exchanged a few hypocritical words and then pretended to put the rift behind them.

The guests at the back who didn't know the truth really thought that it was just a small conflict between the two of them and it couldn't escalate to a higher level. Only the people from the four kings and eight dukes in front knew that Prince Zhongshun was still harboring evil intentions and was still thinking about Master Zhan.

I just don't know whether he is thinking about Mr. Zhan's expected huge liquor business or the equally high liquor tax.

If it is the former, then it is just his own selfish desire.

But if it is the latter, then it must be the intention of the person in the palace.

Zhan Ershisi didn't care what Prince Zhongshun meant, he just had to counter his moves.

After all the guests arrived, the newlyweds were welcomed into the house, the wedding was held, and then there was a grand banquet and everyone celebrated.

Master Zhan took the nobles in the front row into another room and began to discuss business.

In addition to the families of the four kings and eight dukes, Baoling Hou Shi Nai was also invited in by Master Zhan.

He is the leader, so naturally he has the right to distribute.

Anyway, you can drive away one sheep or let two sheep go. It doesn’t matter who the business outside the capital is given to, so naturally the more allies the better.

However, how much share Baoling Hou can get has nothing to do with him.

"Zhan is taking a concubine today. I am grateful to all of you for coming to congratulate me."

"The production process of Erguotou is quite complicated and the annual output is not very high. Currently, our company is recruiting a large number of people for training and expansion of production."

"From today on, the production capacity of this wine will be divided into 20% and 80%. 20% will be kept in Beijing for our own sales, and the other 80% will be distributed to various companies at a unified cost price and shipped to other places for sale."

"As for how the various families will be divided and the provinces will be owned, please discuss it among yourselves and report the results to me later."

"Today is Zhan's big day, so I won't accompany you. Please forgive me!"

After simply expressing his attitude, Master Zhan decisively withdrew. It would be inappropriate for outsiders to see the quarrel among the nobles behind him, as it was not proper.

Let's not talk about how these people discussed and quarreled, just say that Master Zhan, after toasting the guests, was about to return to his room to enjoy the beauty, but was pulled aside by Xue Pan, who smiled and said:
"Brother-in-law, my sister wants to see you. She is now in Ningguo Mansion."

A married woman like Lian's second daughter-in-law can come to the Zhan family to help as a member of her family, but it is not convenient for an unmarried woman like Xue Baochai to come, so she has to ask her brother to invite her.

Today, most of the Ningguo Mansion has been basically occupied, and it is absolutely suitable to be used as a place for private meetings.

Anyway, the newlyweds have already entered the bridal chamber and cannot fly away, so Mr. Zhan simply does not rush back and goes to see Baochai first.

Mr. Zhan changed out of his ceremonial attire and put on casual clothes. He went out and took a carriage to Ningguo Mansion, then drove straight into Jia Rong's yard.

Keqing was chatting with Baochai. When she saw him come in, she stood up and walked out, raising her eyebrows and saying with a smile:
"You two can talk here. I'll ask Hongye to guard outside the door. No one will disturb us."

Baochai knew that she had misunderstood, but she just blushed, lowered her head, and remained silent, without trying to clarify.

Since that day, she thought carefully about what Master Zhan said and it was difficult for her to make a decision for a while.

Especially when she learned about the contribution her brother had recently made for Master Zhan, she found it even more difficult to accept.

This also made her truly understand what Master Zhan meant when he said before that her role was not as important as her brother's.

I really can’t do that kind of “dirty work”!

Although she didn't like Baoyu's constant entanglement, she really couldn't do it if she was asked to harm him like this.

But the recent cooperation between the Four Kings and Eight Dukes and Master Zhan made her realize that this Master Zhan's work was going very smoothly. Now the Four Kings and Eight Dukes are not aware of his true identity at all and are being manipulated by this Master Zhan.

After realizing this, Baochai agreed with what Mr. Zhan had said before about the future fate of the four kings and eight dukes.

When the nest is overturned, no eggs will be left unbroken. When the Ning and Rong mansions are destroyed, I am afraid that all the men and women in the mansions will end up miserably.

After making this comparison, she suddenly didn’t feel that the so-called “frame-up” was still a frame-up. Maybe it was actually saving someone!
Apart from anything else, all the women who served as concubines and maids for Master Zhan, such as the sisters Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er, have successfully jumped off the ship and escaped from the sea of ​​suffering.

Once the knot in your heart is gone, the world will be wide open.

After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Baochai finally decided to stand on the side of the winner.

She decided to take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, she hardened her heart, abandoned her bottom line, and served Master Zhan in order to save as many sisters as possible from suffering. On the other hand, she arranged the marriage through Madam Wang as soon as possible, in order to create a bright future for her family and to be a good wife to Master Zhan.

So when Keqing left, Baochai bowed down and said:

"I have considered it carefully, and I am willing to go through fire and water for you, sir."

"Please give me your orders, my Lord. No matter what the task is, Baochai will definitely do her best to complete it."

Mr. Zhan had drunk a few more cups at this moment, and on the way here he was blown by the breeze, which made him feel a little intoxicated. Now seeing Baochai lying on the ground, just like Song Jiang, with her buttocks raised high, he couldn't help but slap her.

"Are you serious?"

Baochai shuddered all over, but she suppressed her shyness. Not only did she not retreat, she even raised her hips higher.

"Master, please understand. I am a member of the Zhan family and should obey your orders. No matter what you ask me to do, I dare not refuse."

"Hmph, it's because you don't dare, not because you don't want to. It's obvious that you still have resentment in your heart." Master Zhan's slap became even heavier.

Baochai trembled again and explained hurriedly:
"No, no, I'm just a little shy, not unwilling."

She was afraid that Master Zhan would not believe her, so she moved her knees, turned her body around, raised her hips high, and placed them in front of Master Zhan.

"Please... please enjoy it, sir."

Mr. Zhan is a kind gentleman who has always been kind to women. He always finds it difficult to refuse a woman's kindness. Seeing the beautiful scenery in front of him, how could he bear to let it go? He immediately started to play with it carefully.

Anyone who has studied physics knows that the earth has gravity, and blood is affected by gravity and will flow downward.

The blood in Mr. Zhan's body was flowing downwards at this time, and the blood in Baochai's body was also flowing downwards, making Baochai's face flush red. She couldn't even open her eyes. She just buried her head in her arms, just like an ostrich, only caring about her head and not her butt.

Mr. Zhan grabbed Baochai's belt and pulled it gently, and the upper and lower garments separated and fell to both sides. The lower garment covered her legs, while the upper garment covered Baochai's head and face.

For a moment, Baochai felt the light in front of her eyes dim and become dark, as if a veil was covering her.

Anyone who has studied biology knows that when a person's vision is blocked, their five senses become acute.

Baochai closed her eyes, carefully feeling the temperature of the human body approaching from behind, and performing mathematical modeling in her mind.

As for mathematics, everyone knows that if you know it, you know it, and if you don’t know it, you don’t know it.

The result of modeling haphazardly even though I clearly don't understand is that the size that appears in my mind is much larger than the actual size.

Baochai's heart suddenly started beating like a drum, "dong dong" violently.

Although she had already made up her mind to devote herself to her master, but at this moment, for some reason, she felt unwilling to do so. All kinds of thoughts flooded her mind, and she couldn't recover for a while. Her eyes rolled back, and she fell to the ground with a plop, fainting.

Mr. Zhan had just taken off his trousers when he saw Baochai fall down. He hurried forward to help her up. After a quick examination, he realized that she had been lying upside down for too long, resulting in a lack of oxygen to her brain, which was why she fainted.

"I can't bear the beating, I can't bear the beating!"

Mr. Zhan sighed, reached out and pinched Baochai's philtrum a few times, waking her up.

But after this incident, Mr. Zhan's interest had faded.

He put Baochai on Keqing's bed, pulled the quilt over her, and said gently to the dazed Baochai:
"Rest assured and I will come back to look for you."

Baochai was still a little confused, but when she saw Master Zhan was about to leave, she subconsciously reached out to hold him back, begging:
"It was my fault just now. Master, please give me another chance. This time I will serve you well."

Mr. Zhan was used to seeing Baochai's dignified and graceful appearance. This was the first time he saw her with such a pitiful expression. He was immediately amazed and comforted her:
"Don't worry, the master has understood your awakening. He will come back to find you and enjoy it slowly."

"You just fainted. It's not good to do any more strenuous exercise. You should rest well. We have a long time to go. There's no need to rush."

Baochai had just woken up from a coma and was at her most vulnerable moment. She just held his hand and was reluctant to let go.

When Mr. Zhan saw Baochai's pitiful look, he couldn't help but feel hungry again. He picked her up again, lowered his head and started to nibble on her, enjoying a mouthful of her food.

Baochai was so fascinated by the kiss that she was panting and couldn't help rolling her eyes again.

Master Zhan had no choice but to let her go again, frowning and saying:

"You are not Daiyu, why do you always faint?"

Baochai was out of breath, and after panting for a long time, she leaned forward again and apologized:

"I have never experienced the wind and rain, and this matter is really too exciting. Master, please let me get used to it. I will definitely not be so useless again." Master Zhan turned his anger into joy, stretched out his hand to pinch Baochai's face, and praised:

"Sister Bao is indeed a good talker. I will help you practice it later. I will just take it as some interest before I accept you as my master."

Baochai blushed, reached out to take Master Zhan's hand, moved it down, and placed it on the granary.

"Since the master wants to charge interest, he must make a comprehensive assessment."

"Ah! It's really full!"

Mr. Zhan exclaimed in praise, and then began to study and evaluate it carefully. He not only looked at its shape and measured its weight, but also smelled its fragrance and tasted its flavor. Finally, after a comprehensive evaluation, he concluded that this was a top-grade product!
Exercise really has a training effect. After this intense exercise, Baochai's chest only rose and fell, and her breathing became unstable, but she never rolled her eyes again, and she never fainted.

"This training method is really useful!"

After Master Zhan exclaimed in admiration, he smiled and ordered:
"When the master is not around, you can close your eyes, think about the master's appearance, and exercise on your own. It will be very good for your cardiopulmonary function."

Baochai shyly agreed.

Master Zhan called Keqing in again, and in front of Baochai, he also slapped Keqing, and then said to the stunned Baochai:
"Keqing is now the master's bedmate. From now on, you and I can meet in Keqing's room often without worrying about the news leaking out."

"Master is taking a concubine today, so let's go back to the bridal chamber and spend the wedding night together."

"You can rest here at Keqing's place. It doesn't matter if you don't come back home. Keqing will cover for you."

The two girls blushed and nodded, agreeing. Master Zhan then got up and went out, hugged Hongye outside the door and gave her some rewards before returning home.

As for Baochai's task arrangement, her brother Xue Pan would naturally be responsible for it.

There is no way. Master Zhan is a kind gentleman. He never does bad things and his hands are very clean. All the bad things were done by the bad guy Xue Pan and have nothing to do with Master Zhan.

After Mr. Zhan left, the two girls, one standing and one lying, both felt awkward.

After a while, Keqing was more knowledgeable and knew that there were a lot of bad things going on in the mansion of the rich and powerful, so it was not surprising. She smiled sweetly and sat down on the bed, leaned over and whispered:

"Do you need me to arrange for you to take a shower and change clothes?"

Baochai felt the coolness between her legs, her face turned redder, and she nodded slightly, "Thank you, Madam Rong."

Keqing covered her mouth and laughed:
"It's already like this, why are you still calling me Grandma Rong? When no one is around, just call me Sister Keqing."

In terms of seniority, Baochai is of the same generation as Brother Zhen and is Keqing's elder brother.

In terms of age, Keqing is older than Baochai, so Baochai should call her sister.

But nowadays...

Baochai is Mr. Zhan's future wife, but Keqing is just his secret lover, and the difference in their status is obvious.

Seeing that Keqing was willing to bow her head and be a servant, Baochai blushed and nodded in agreement.

The interactions between people are often one of gain at the expense of loss.

Seeing Baochai so shy, Keqing became bolder. Not only did she get rid of her embarrassment, she also started teasing her.

"Sister, you are so shy, is it possible that you haven't consummated your marriage yet?"

Keqing didn't need Baochai's answer. Just by looking at her pretty face which was getting redder and redder, she knew the result.

At this moment, Keqing's heart was filled with some unspeakable emotions, which made her want to tease the future wife of Master Zhan even more.

Why can you marry Mr. Zhan, but I can only marry such a useless man?
Driven by this strange emotion, Keqing smiled and put her arm around Baochai's shoulders, and asked in a low voice:
"Have you ever worn those beautiful clothes like cheongsam for Master Zhan to see?"

Seeing Baochai blushing again and turning her head away, Keqing started to cry out in surprise:
"No way, you don't have these clothes?"

Before, because Aunt Xue needed to be stylistically selected by Lady Wang, Xiangling had brought a set of various clothes to Aunt Xue. As Aunt Xue's think tank, Baochai had of course seen these clothes, but as an unmarried woman, how could she have the nerve to wear such thin and revealing things?

Baochai suppressed her shyness, pretended to be generous and decent, and said in a trembling voice:
"These clothes are prepared for married women. When I get married, I will wear them for the master to see."

Keqing smiled and said:

"It's hard to say how long it will take for you to get married. Look at Master Zhan, he's taking concubines one after another, and there will definitely be more in the future."

"Mr. Zhan is a kind gentleman and will never force himself on a woman, so you have to take the initiative!"

"If you believe what I say, don't be foolish about this. Don't hesitate when it's time to give me a treat."

"Just like tonight, if it were me, I would definitely let Mr. Zhan stay overnight. Why would I let him go back and spend the wedding night with that vixen?"

"Tomorrow I will ask my second sister to come over, measure your body, and make you a set of clothes of all colors."

"Next time Master Zhan comes over, you can wear it for him to see. You won't have to worry about not being able to keep him here!"

Baochai was somewhat hesitant and yet also somewhat excited, so she remained silent. Keqing immediately understood, and went out smiling. Soon she led the servants to bring in the bathtub and poured hot water into it.

Hongye helped Baochai undress and get into the bathtub, but Keqing was reluctant to leave. She just watched from the side with a smile and praised:

"Sister is such a good-looking girl. It's a good thing that Master Zhan could hold back and didn't eat her."

Baochai's shyness gradually faded, and her intelligence returned to a high level. She immediately realized that Keqing's behavior was clearly a teasing, so she teased back:

"From what Sister Keqing said, I think my master ate all of it. I don't know whether it was salty or not."

She felt that what she said was quite explicit, but in the ears of a married woman like Keqing, it sounded light and light, without any force. Instead, she smiled and moved closer to the bathtub, stretched out her hand and grabbed it, and said with a smile:
"Sister, if you want to know whether my beautiful body is salty or bland, it's not that simple. Tonight, we sisters will have a night talk together in bed, and I will teach you how to serve the master in the future."

Baochai's face turned pale at once, and she hastily retreated backwards, trying to avoid Lushan's claws, but the bathtub was small and there was no way she could escape. Instead, Keqing pried her arms apart and helped her exercise them.

Baochai refused and said without thinking:
"I won't learn from you. You should go serve your own master instead of disturbing me!"

Keqing curled her lips in disdain, rubbing her hands and talking nonsense:

"Sister, you probably saw that I seduced your master, so you think I am shameless and cheating on you."

"But my sister doesn't know that my master also knows about this."

"My master is a useless eunuch who is incapable of human conduct. So in order to prevent the Ningguo Mansion from dying out, I have no choice but to resort to this method of borrowing sperm."

"You said that I am a woman, and I don't meet many outstanding men on a daily basis. After thinking about it, I had no choice but to set my sights on Master Zhan."

"Master Zhan is a kind gentleman. After I seduced him in every possible way, I finally got what I wanted and climbed into his bed."

"You said you wanted me to serve my own master. Haha, if he could use it, why would I do such a shameless thing?"

This excuse has absolutely nothing to do with Master Zhan. It was definitely not thought up by Master Zhan. It was Keqing herself who had seduced Master Zhan time and again and was afraid that Master Zhan would look down on her because of this. So she made it up to find a reasonable excuse for herself.

The most important thing is that this reason was also approved by Jia Rong.

If someone discovered Keqing's affair and went to Jia Rong to complain, Jia Rong would admit this excuse, first implicate Master Zhan and Master Zhen, and then ask the other party to keep it confidential.

Those who discovered this kind of thing and were willing to tell Jia Rong were mostly people who were on good terms with him, and after hearing this tragic "truth", most of them would agree.

The reality is so bizarre that the story is easier to believe.

Baochai naturally believed this lie, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Keqing was not as distant as before.

But although I understand it, it’s not okay for Keqing to keep doing this!
Baochai pushed Keqing's hand away and panted:

"I will go back after I finish my bath. I dare not stay here with you, or you will eat me alive!"

"Why are you leaving?" Keqing raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Didn't Master Zhan tell you to stay here?"

"Isn't it obvious that you want me to teach you a lesson?"

"I have already sent someone to send a message to Aunt Xue. You have to stay tonight whether you want to or not!"

Let’s not talk about how erotic the room was tonight, and how Keqing educated and enlightened Baochai about love, let’s just talk about Master Zhan.

After Zhan Ershisi returned to the mansion, the banquet was almost over. He appeared one last time to wrap up the banquet and then went straight into the bridal chamber.

Under the light of the big red candle, Xing Xiuyan was sitting on the edge of the bed with her head covered with a veil, waiting for Master Zhan to arrive.

Mr. Zhan picked up the weighing rod with ease and lifted the veil, and a beautiful face appeared before him.

Xing Xiuyan's beauty is not well-known in Dream of the Red Chamber, but her dignified and steady manners and her gentle and generous temperament are extremely outstanding.

At this moment, she was sitting there, her eyes drooped, her eyelashes trembling, her chest and back straight, her hands twisting a handkerchief, and it was obvious that she was still very nervous.

Nowadays, getting married for a woman is like buying a lottery ticket, everything depends on luck. The matchmaker's mouth is like the boss of a lottery station, and nothing she says can be trusted.

Only on the day of the lottery draw can you truly know whether you have won the prize or not.

What's more, she has been betrayed by her own parents and has become someone else's concubine. Her life and death are in the hands of others and she has no control over it.

Even though she had heard countless people praising Master Zhan before, she was still nervous and unsure of her family's fate, fearing that she would look up and see a pot-bellied old man.

But she was lucky and won the first prize this time. She met Mr. Zhan, who was not only gentle and considerate, but also a cool guy. It can be said that except for being a little lustful, he had no shortcomings.

Xing Xiuyan raised her head and looked at her young and handsome master. Her heart was beating fast and her face turned slightly red. She felt secretly fortunate and for the first time she felt grateful to her unreliable parents and her strange aunt and uncle.

Zhan Ershisi smiled and took Xing Xiuyan's hand, brought her to the table, drank the wedding wine together, then returned to the bed, felt under the pillow, and took out a cheongsam.

As a supplier of such luxury goods, he must of course lead by example and let his concubines wear his products.

Before taking a concubine, he sent someone to measure Xing Xiuyan's body and made this cheongsam specially for her.

And, of course, matching heels.

It was because silk stockings were not available in that era, otherwise he would definitely have gotten a set.

"Xiu Yan, this is the standard suit in our mansion. Come on, try it on too."

Xing Xiuyan originally thought that her master would pounce on her, but he took out a set of clothes for her to change. She couldn't help but be stunned, staring blankly at the master in front of her, not knowing how to react.

Zhan Ershisi is a man who knows how to have fun. How could he just jump on her and do something like a cow chewing a peony? Of course he would have to do the foreplay well and then enjoy her slowly.

He looked at Xing Xiuyan with a smile and gently waved the clothes in his hand in front of her.

"It's winter now, so you can wear this inside. When the weather gets hotter, you can just wear this inside the backyard."

Xing Xiuyan was a typical traditional woman, definitely the kind of good woman who follows her husband wherever he goes. Seeing her husband making a request, although she felt very shy, she still stood up tremblingly, picked up the cheongsam, and planned to hide in the quilt to change it.

Unexpectedly, Master Zhan stopped her and said with a smile:
"As the ancients said, love on the pillow, kiss under the quilt, lilac smiles and spits out orchid musk, and looks at the beauty under the lamp."

"Okay Xiuyan, let's change here!"

Xing Xiuyan's face flushed red when she heard this. She clutched the cheongsam tightly with both hands and pleaded in a trembling voice:
"Master, I am shy, please have mercy on me and let me change in bed!"

Master Zhan saw that she was still neither humble nor arrogant, too dignified and not able to relax at all, so he shook his head to disallow her.

Xing Xiuyan had no choice but to kneel on the bed and take off her wedding dress bit by bit.

Zhan Ershisi did not help her. He just watched her slowly take off her phoenix coronet and bridal robe, remove her wig, hairpins and jewelry, let her hair down, and then put her hands on her inner garment without moving. Her beautiful eyes were full of shyness and pleading as she just looked at Master Zhan.

Seeing that she was too resistant in her heart and was clearly too bound by etiquette, Master Zhan wanted to free her, so he raised his hand to extinguish the red candle, sat in the darkness, and said with a smile:
"It's okay this time, right?"

It's a dark and windy night tonight. The moon has taken a day off and is not working. Only a few faint starlights are shining through the paper window. Although it's not pitch dark, only an outline can be seen on the opposite side.

Xing Xiuyan immediately let out a long sigh and said with tears of gratitude:

"Thank you for your understanding, Master. I am very grateful."

She didn't know that Master Zhan had been strengthened by the stone, and now his five senses were different from those of ordinary people. Even under this faint starlight, his gaze was still clearly discernible.

Xing Xiuyan quickly took off her coat, leaving only a thin top, then picked up her cheongsam and fumbled to put it on, but suddenly she heard her master remind her:
"This cheongsam must be worn tight, and no other clothes can be worn underneath, otherwise it will definitely look ugly."

Xing Xiuyan paused and looked up hurriedly, only to see her master sitting two steps away. Even though she had excellent eyesight, she could only see a vague figure and could not see anything clearly. She thought that her master had encountered a similar situation before, but she did not doubt that she was being seen through.

She continued to change her clothes, but she had never worn a cheongsam before. It was dark and she couldn't tell the difference. She could only grope her way through it. Suddenly, her master reminded her:
"You put it on backwards. It should be the other way around."

Xing Xiuyan's hands trembled and she began to have some doubts in her heart, but she comforted herself by thinking that her master might be able to tell the front and the back because of the reflection of the clothes.

She hurriedly took off her cheongsam, put it on again, and fumbled with the buttons. Just as she had finished buttoning two or three of them, she suddenly heard her master laughing:

"You buttoned the second button wrong. It should be one notch up."

Xing Xiuyan hurriedly reached out and touched it, and found that the button was indeed wrong, and her body suddenly stiffened.

This time Xing Xiuyan couldn't deceive herself at all. How could she understand such accurate guidance if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes?

Seeing that Xing Xiuyan realized it, Master Zhan said with a smile:

"Good Xiuyan, your master has night vision, and can see things in the dark as if it were daytime. I saw your appearance just now clearly!"

"Ah..." Xing Xiuyan let out a moan, her legs went limp, and she collapsed on the bed, covering her face with her hands. Her whole body was burning hot, just like a freshly baked prawn, red from her face all the way to her neck.

Mr. Zhan smiled and lit the red candle again. Then he walked to the bed, picked up Xing Xiuyan, put her on his lap, held her white and tender feet, picked up the pair of high heels and put them on her.

"Good Xiuyan, come on, walk down the ground for a few steps, let the master see how beautiful you are."

Xing Xiuyan felt her mind go blank and her whole body was hot. She just buried her head in her master's arms, holding his neck tightly with both hands, and didn't want to get up at all.

Although she knew that this was her master and it was natural for him to see her naked, she still felt extremely shy when the time came.

Master Zhan had been admiring flowers for a long time, so of course he knew what she was thinking at the moment. Of course he would not force her, but just coaxed her with soft words. After a long while, Xing Xiuyan finally returned to normal. She came out of Master Zhan's arms, sat up straight, and put on her dignified look again.

"I just lost my composure and made you laugh."

Master Zhan pointed to the bed and said:
"Come on, Xiuyan, get off the bed and take a few steps so that the master can admire you."

At this moment, Xing Xiuyan was wearing clothes, so her shyness was reduced. She immediately got out of bed and prepared to leave for her master to see.

As a result, when she got out of bed, she realized that the slits on the thighs of the cheongsam were too high, and the hem was a bit short. There was even a heart-shaped hole on the chest of the cheongsam. Why were the heels of the shoes so high...

As a result, the standing posture, which was supposed to be with the chest out and the stomach in, became timid, and the gait became crooked and unsteady.

"Come here, Xiuyan, I will teach you how to walk."

"Come on, first straighten your chest and tighten your stomach..."

Master Zhan was always willing to help others. Seeing Xing Xiuyan like this, he naturally went over to help her. He first helped her to straighten her chest, then helped her to pull her belly back, and then helped her to lift her hips...

After a busy period, Xing Xiuyan walked straight away, panting, her eyes were watery and charming, and her legs were as soft as noodles and she could not walk anymore.

Seeing this, Master Zhan picked her up with a smile, put her on the bed, and began to enjoy the beauty, entering the plot of Ten Thousand Updates.

Next, everyone knows...
