The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 77 Unknown Monster

The impact of the rumor was far greater than Zhan Ershisi had imagined.

One day, Zhan Ershi was sitting idle in his house when he suddenly saw the housekeeper Yang Yougong come in with a visiting card in his hand. He handed it to him and said:

"Master, Prince Beijing has sent an invitation, inviting you to come to his house for a gathering."

"Prince Beijing? Why did he invite me?"

Ever since the last wine business, he has had no dealings with Prince Beijing.

Later, because he tried many times to carry out his big plan, he was increasingly disliked by the people from the four kings and eight dukes' families, and it became even more impossible for him to meet Prince Beijing. Now, he inexplicably sent a message to his own family, which seemed to be problematic no matter how one looked at it.

But since someone invited him, of course he had to go and take a look.

The next day, Zhan Ershi arrived at Prince Beijing's residence and was warmly welcomed in by the butler.

The Prince of Beijing's Mansion is much larger than the Ning and Rong Mansions combined.

Zhan Ershisi followed the butler around and around several corridors, and finally arrived at the living room and met Prince Beijing Shui Rong.

After the two exchanged a few polite words, Shui Rong smiled and asked:

"Recently, I heard rumors that Master Zhan is an immortal who came down to earth and resurrected the Jia clan members who were killed by the evil Taoist priests?"

"..." Zhan Ershisi was speechless after hearing this. How come this rumor is getting more and more outrageous?

Only then did he understand why Shui Rong invited him to his house to meet him.

In this era, almost no one does not believe in immortals, especially those high-ranking officials, who are full of yearning and longing for the immortals who can transcend life and death and roam freely in the world. Beijing Wang Shui Rong is of course no exception.

"Your Majesty, this is pure misrepresentation!"

Zhan Ershisi recounted the situation of that day in detail, and then stated again:
"Your Majesty, I am really not an immortal!"

"I just learned a few strange skills when I was young. I saw that lame Taoist priest that day and wanted to ask him for a chance to become an immortal, but I failed. That's all."

Shui Rong smiled and nodded:
"Don't mind, Master Zhan. I was just curious and came here to ask."

"But I don't know if I can learn this immortal Taoist technique?"

When he used this as an excuse, Zhan Ershisi was prepared in his heart, and he immediately made up a lie:

"This is not a Taoist technique, but a military technique of killing and conquering. It is not beneficial to health preservation."

"This method is difficult to practice. You need to practice it day and night. Even if you succeed, it will only increase your strength and speed. It is quite suitable for making achievements on the battlefield, but not for a wealthy person like the prince."

As Zhan Ershisi was speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table, rubbed it gently with his hands, and crushed it into powder.

Shui Rong was moved when he saw this and said:

"I didn't expect that Master Zhan had such a talent. If Master Zhan is interested, I would like to recommend him to the court and let him serve in the army."

Zhan Ershisi knew that he saw his martial arts prowess and wanted to win him over, but he was unwilling to be a good master and join the army as a soldier, so he thanked him humbly:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, I am the only child left in my family and I dare not take the risk of life and death. I think doing business is more suitable for me."

Shui Rong sighed and stopped talking about the matter. He just continued chatting nonsense.

After Zhan Ershisi explained the situation clearly, he brought up his own plan, but Shui Rong evaded the question.

Seeing that the other party's attitude was clear, Zhan Ershisi stopped talking nonsense, stood up and said goodbye.

Shui Rong was polite and invited him to have dinner together, but he declined and walked out of the palace and returned to his home.

Afterwards, the four kings and eight dukes all sent people to inquire about the news, but Zhan Ninshisi always gave the same answer to everyone.

He knows a little bit about strange arts, but he is definitely not an immortal.

That lame Taoist is the real immortal. Let the four kings and eight gentlemen find a way to find that lame Taoist and don't bother him.

Because this matter involved Jia Dairu, Jia Zhen and Jia Zheng were often asked about the news. It would have been fine if Jia Zheng knew nothing, but Jia Zhen caused trouble again.

His health has improved!
During these days, Jia Zhen would occasionally take the back of the Mirror of Bliss and look at himself.

I don’t know whether the Fengyue Baojian is really good for the body, or whether his body has been maintained after he “passively quit masturbating”, but in any case, his body has improved.

In the past, Jia Zhen seemed to have not gotten enough sleep all day long. His face was dull, his eyes were sunken, and he looked very listless.

But after using the Fengyue Treasure Mirror, his whole spirit became better!

At first, Zhan Ershisi was worried that Jia Zhen might not be able to resist the temptation and kill himself with a photo of himself. But after some days, seeing that Jia Zhen was not only fine but also in better spirits, he stopped taking the matter to heart.

He himself was a man of his own, so of course he looked down upon the broken mirror in Jia Zhen's hand, but it was different for other people.

Those who were familiar with Jia Zhen knew there was something wrong when they saw his condition, and they pestered him with questions.

Jia Zhen now knew that the Mirror of Love and Lust was a treasure, so he was reluctant to let others know about it, so he refused to speak about it no matter who asked.

But the less he said, the more suspicious others became.

Now many people are speculating whether the master Zhan who is proficient in supernatural powers has passed on some magical skills to him.

With Jia Zhen as a "typical" figure, no matter how Zhan Ershisi explained, others were only half-believing and half-doubting. They had prejudices in their hearts and did not quite believe what he said.

However, it didn't take long before the news about the Fengyue Treasure Mirror finally spread.

There is no way. The Jia family is as leaky as a sieve. As long as you are determined and willing to pay, what information can you not find out?

The Mirror of Love and Lust was originally taken out by the lame Taoist priest, and more than a dozen people in Jia Dairu's family had seen it. Afterwards, Jia Rui, who was nearly dying, returned to the private school alive and well. The news had already spread everywhere, and of course, those who were interested would pay attention to the whereabouts of this treasure.

Combined with Jia Zhen's situation, everyone knew that this treasure was given by Master Zhan to his good brother Jia Zhen.

So the movements of all parties shifted away from Zhan Twenty-four and began to target Jia Zhen.

Although the Jia family is still quite powerful, Jia Zhen doesn't dare to offend so many people. He has no choice but to take out the Fengyue Treasure Mirror and show it to everyone who comes to ask about it, telling them that this treasure is at most good for the body but cannot make one immortal.

There are many ways for wealthy families to maintain health these days. If it were just to this extent, at least the top dignitaries would not be too interested.

After all, looking in the mirror once can make people shiver, which is too inappropriate. If someone has a weak heart, they might be frightened to death in an instant.

Moreover, this mirror seems to have the function of "passive abstinence from sex". If you use it for a long time, you might want to become a monk. It is really not suitable for the rich and powerful.

Those ordinary dignitaries might have some interest in the Mirror of Love and Lust, but they couldn't afford to offend Jia Zhen, so they had to give up.

This round of turmoil seemed to have dissipated.

Back at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng had people go back to Jinling to investigate the incident in which Xue Pan inexplicably became a dead ghost.

This time, Jia Yucun replied very quickly. After all, he just wanted to steal the chicken, and now that he failed, he must lose the rice.

In the letter, he made up excuses, completely shirking his family's responsibility and directly sold out the Xue family.

Mr. Zhan was right. It was indeed the Xue family members who were behind this matter.

They have been secretly contacting the civil officials in the court, trying to seize the position of imperial merchant from the main lineage.

It was precisely because the Xue family leaked the matter to Jia Yucun that he was willing to take the risk of being known by the Jia and Wang families and take advantage of the situation.

After all, all the civil officials in the world are one family.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, the court has valued civil officials over military officials in recent years, and the glory of the powerful has become increasingly dim. The rise of civil officials is the general trend. So even though he was rehabilitated with the help of Rongguo Mansion, it does not mean that Jia Yucun will always be loyal to this broken ship of power.

As I said, which court official is not a slave of three surnames?
If it weren't for Zhan Ershisi's interference, I'm afraid Jia Yucun would have really tried to please both sides and successfully bet on both sides.

Later, he was transferred from Yingtian Prefecture to Beijing and became the chief official of Shuntian Prefecture. I am afraid it was because both sides regarded him as their own.

As for why he was later arrested for the minor crime of "corruption", it was most likely because he got too far.

This unexpected defeat made Jia Yucun no longer dare to be indecisive, and he could only choose one side. Compared with the civil officials who have not yet found a complete backer, the Jia family is the most solid backing and the direct force that can control his current promotion and demotion.

After receiving the letter, Jia Zheng was also furious. Of course, he did not believe Jia Yucun's excuses. At that time, he wished he could get rid of this two-faced guy.

It was easy to remove Jia Yucun. Just find a crime and go through the formalities. Without the backing of the Jia and Wang families, many people would be willing to get rid of this guy and make room for a new position. But it would be extremely difficult to find someone else to replace him. Most likely, the position would end up being taken by someone else.

The Jia family paid a lot of money to give Jia Yucun the position of Yingtian Prefecture. If they get rid of him like this and there is no one to replace him, it would be a huge loss!
Jia Zheng had been an official for many years and was not a political novice. It was impossible for him to do things at random according to his own will, so he had to raise the board high and let it fall gently. He wrote back to severely reprimand Jia Yucun and told him to stand firm in the future.

After Jia Yucun had threatened Aunt Xue, he felt it difficult to speak up. He had no choice but to ask his elder sister, Lady Wang, to act as the lobbyist.

Mrs. Wang was actually quite dissatisfied with this result, but she would always stand on the side of her master. She had no choice but to carefully choose her words to coax her sister.

"My dear sister, Jia Yucun has already been severely reprimanded by your brother-in-law."

"But considering that we still need him, we have to let him fix Wenlong's identity and restore him to normal. We won't dismiss him for the time being, but let him make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence, and we'll see how he performs."

"If he messes up his job again, I will be the first one to not let him off. I will definitely take his official hat off and send him back home to farm!"

After stating her attitude, Mrs. Wang complained half-truthfully:

"The Xue family is really something. They are all family members, how could they be so cruel?"

"If an outsider went to Jia Yucun to do this, he would definitely chase him away. But since the Xue family had asked, he thought the Xue family had their own plans, so he didn't dare to ask further and agreed."

Although Aunt Xue was somewhat prepared after being reminded by Mr. Zhan, now that this had been confirmed, she felt her head buzzing and she felt like she was homeless.

"Sister, I'm very confused right now, please let me be alone for a while."

Seeing Aunt Xue's pale face, Mrs. Wang knew that the Xue family's behavior had deeply hurt her sister. She was a little worried, afraid that she could not bear it, so she comforted her repeatedly:
"Don't be too sad. We have already separated. Those people with the surname Xue say they are a family, but they just have the same surname. Just treat them as if they are all dead."

"We are sisters from our own family. From now on, you should treat this place as your own home. We sisters will live together. We don't care about whether we are from the Xue family or not!"

Aunt Xue lowered her eyes, thinking about her sister's implicit and implicit protection of Jia Yucun, and then thinking about her sister's previous coveting of her "son-in-law", the guilt she had originally felt towards her sister gradually dissipated.

Everyone has selfish motives, so it's no wonder that my sister betrayed the Rongguo Mansion.

She forced a smile and said:

"Okay, sister, don't worry about me. I just find it hard to accept it for the time being."

"Actually, if I think about it carefully, the relationship between my family and the other branches of the Xue family is just ordinary. Since they are so ruthless, from now on, we will break off this marriage!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang clapped her hands and laughed:

"That's right, it should be so free and easy!"

"What kind of relative is he if he harms his family like this? I'd better cut him off as soon as possible!"

After chatting with Mrs. Wang for a few more words, Aunt Xue sent Mrs. Wang back and sat in front of the dressing table, staring at her beautiful face in the mirror, in a daze.

After this incident, Aunt Xue became more and more certain that with her and her family's simple personalities, without the pillar of the family, they would be devoured sooner or later. Even if it was not the Xue family, it would be other families sooner or later.

If it weren’t for Mr. Zhan’s reminder this time, I’m afraid their family would have suffered a huge loss for no apparent reason without even knowing it.

She now knows very well that if she wants to survive in the midst of intrigues, the support of Master Zhan is indispensable, so it is an urgent matter to turn the two families into one.

Moreover, after this incident, Aunt Xue completely gave up on the Xue family, and simply asked everyone in the mansion to change the way they addressed her. From now on, they were only allowed to call her Aunt or Aunt Wang, and were not allowed to mention the word Xue.

The meaning behind this was too obvious. Hongye and others were overjoyed and immediately sent the news to Master Zhan.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, which was a perfect time to steal ladies.

On the back street of Rongguo Mansion, a carriage quietly stopped at the back door. A figure slipped out of the carriage, looked left and right, and without knocking on the door, he jumped over the wall and landed in Lixiangyuan.

Hongye had been waiting here for a long time. When she saw Master Zhan coming in, she waved to him and then walked quickly towards the front yard.

By now, Baochai and the others are probably asleep, but it’s better to be careful.

The two were familiar with the paths in the courtyard, and in a moment they reached the front yard's wing rooms.

Hongye gently covered her cherry lips and whispered with a smile:

"Master, I and the others have prepared a gift for you, considering your hard work day and night. But you must condescend to accept it in this room."

After she finished speaking, she reached out and pushed open the door of the side room. There was no light on inside, and it was completely dark, just like the big mouth of a goblin, trying to swallow Master Zhan.

However, Master Zhan was skilled and courageous, not only was he not afraid, but he rushed in excitedly, wanting to turn the monster's lair upside down. As soon as he stepped into the room, Hongye closed the door with a smile, and the originally dark environment became even darker.

However, Mr. Zhan had abnormal five senses and easily discovered that there was a "female monster" hiding in the corner of the room.

Master Zhan was afraid of alerting the monster and letting it escape, so he pretended not to notice it. He walked slowly to the bed in the room, sat down with his horse and sword, and waited for the monster to come out to harm people so that he could hit her with a stick.

Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, the monster took out a fire starter and lit the candle in front of him.

Mr. Zhan's gaze passed through the flickering candlelight and finally stopped on that mysterious and seductive figure.

The female monster was wearing a tight cheongsam made by the Zhan family and sitting sideways at the table. The tailor-made dress was gleaming with her soft breathing in the dim light, clinging to her graceful body, outlining smooth and seductive curves, adding a bit of fantasy and charm in this dim environment.

She was barefoot and had long legs, and even when she was just sitting sideways, her perfect proportions could not be concealed.

The faint light of the red candle danced gently on her exposed calves under the high-slit cheongsam, and fell on the small golden bells hanging on her round and well-fitting ankles, reflecting a soft luster that set off her white feet.

The plump breasts and perky buttocks, wrapped in the tight cheongsam, show off her curves even more, full of the charm of a mature woman.

The most fascinating thing is the thin veil with tassels on her face. It is like a layer of mist, covering her face, leaving only the outline of her nose and the lines of her chin vaguely visible.

As soon as Mr. Zhan saw the veil, he knew that this female monster...

He doesn't know it!

He definitely doesn't know him!

Since this female monster chose to wear a veil, it means she doesn't want people to recognize her identity.

Since she dared to appear in front of Master Zhan openly, she must be confident that Master Zhan would not be able to see through her true face.

I don’t know how precious this veil is. Even though Master Zhan’s five senses are now much sharper than those of ordinary people, he will be completely defeated in front of this female monster and cannot see through her true identity at all!

The female monster slowly stood up, holding the candle in one hand, tiptoeing and walking forward step by step in a cat-like manner.

Master Zhan was very experienced. When he saw her slender waist and light lotus steps, which made the small bells jingle, he knew immediately that this was a...

Cat demon!

Sure enough, the cat demon took a few steps, then bent down and lit the two rows of candles that had been placed on both sides of the ground. Then he put down the candles, got on his hands and knees, raised his head, twisted his hips, and crawled forward little by little.

Looking at the charming cat eyes of this cat demon and feeling the shyness, submission, attachment and other emotions expressed in her eyes, Master Zhan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

This cat demon's charm is so powerful, I'm afraid it will be a fierce battle tonight!

Sure enough, after the cat demon crawled to Master Zhan's feet, it swam upwards from under his feet like a beautiful snake, put its veiled cheek close to Master Zhan's ear, its eyes like water flowing, and whispered charmingly:

"My name is Wang Jiuer. I have been practicing in the mountains for thousands of years. Every time I wake up from my dreams at midnight, I feel lonely and unbearable, especially on full moon nights, when it is even more cold and unbearable."

"Later, I was enlightened by the Bodhisattva Joy, and calculated that I had a karmic relationship with you in my past life. Now I have come out of the mountain to experience the tribulation. I hope you can help me."

After the cat demon said these words shyly and timidly, her whole body was already burning hot, and her face was even more charming. She didn't dare to look up at people, but just lowered her head, hiding behind the tassels of the veil, and lay on Zhan Ershisi's body, closing her eyes, opening her mouth, and kissing Zhan Ershisi.

Good monster!
How dare you to provoke me!

Am I afraid of you?

Master Zhan could not stand provocation, so upon seeing this, he immediately opened his mouth wide, bit the cat demon's lips hard, and sucked the venom in her mouth into his stomach. He felt that the venom was sweet, delicious, hot and scalding.

Experienced gourmets know that the more poisonous something is, the more delicious it is. This venom is so delicious, it must be quite poisonous.

Sure enough, after a while, the poison took effect, and Master Zhan felt his heartbeat quicken and his breathing become heavy.

The cat demon was still unwilling to give up, and peeled down the cheongsam restrictor, releasing two huge balls of demonic energy, which rushed straight towards Master Zhan.

Master Zhan was startled and quickly reached out to catch it, trying hard to resist.

However, since ancient times, the left side has always been the loser. Master Zhan only managed to resist for a moment before his hands were blown away. The evil spirit hit him directly and knocked him onto the bed.

The cat demon took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, tearing off Master Zhan's armor. Then he opened and closed his legs, performed a horse stance and deep squat, and sat heavily on him with such force that he almost foamed at the mouth.

However, Master Zhan was also a person who was hanging on his head. He took a deep breath and recovered as before. He used a grappling move to grab the cat demon's ankle, and dragged it in front of him amid the sound of "ding ding dong dong". He stretched out his hand and gently tickled the white sole of the foot, and said with a smile:
"It is indeed a good magical instrument. I guess this bell is also a demon power limiter."

"Now that you are vulnerable, I will take your opportunity to see how you resist."

The cat demon really trembled all over, and its body became half limp, so it had to lower its head and bite Master Zhan's neck artery again.

How could Master Zhan be willing to suffer such a loss? He immediately fought back and opened his mouth to bite the evil spirit ball.

One of them had a holy body, and the other had been lonely for a long time. They were a perfect match, and they fought for tens of thousands of words until dawn, when they stopped fighting and chose another day to fight.

Master Zhan simply packed his clothes and came out. Hongye was already waiting at the door. Seeing that his face and neck were covered with strawberry marks, she came over with a smile and said:

"Master, did you succeed in subduing the demon last night?"

Master Zhan said seriously:

"The demon is so powerful that it will take more than one night to subdue it. When the master comes again tonight, he will definitely plunder the house and kill the cat demon with a stick."

Hongye covered her mouth and laughed when she heard this:
"That's bad. The one that came tonight is most likely not a cat demon, but a fox spirit. What should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Master Zhan felt a sense of responsibility arise spontaneously, and immediately patted his chest and said:
"Exorcising demons and defending justice is the duty of people like us who follow the right path. No matter what kind of monsters they are, we must not let them go and must suppress them one by one."

Hongye laughed so hard that her body shook and even her stomach hurt.

After the two of them chatted and laughed for a while, Hongye went into the room to clean up the mess, while Master Zhan quietly went around to the backyard, jumped over the wall again, and took a car back home.

He often stayed overnight outside, and everyone in the family knew about it. They only knew that he had other women outside, but they didn't know who those women were.

Anyway, since I didn't bring it home, it poses no threat and I don't take it seriously.

Zhan Ershisi took a nap on the bed for a while, absorbing the experience he gained from beating the female monster with a stick.

Although the female monster was also a person in the Golden Hairpin's second volume, Shitou had become extremely picky at this time. He no longer cared about the energy he got from this woman in the second volume as much as before. It didn't affect him at all, and he didn't see any special abilities developing.

I'm afraid that in the future only by recruiting a woman on the official list can I stimulate this stone to produce some effect.

Zhan Ershisi couldn't help but think of what the lame Taoist had blurted out before, and doubts began to arise in his heart. He wondered where the energy that had escaped from the spiritual jade had gone, and what had happened overseas. It was really annoying.

He had previously used his connections to draw people's attention to various anecdotes happening overseas, but these days, information travels slowly, and he didn't know when he would get any news in return.

Since it was useless to think about it, Zhan Ershisi gave up wasting his energy, got up energetically, and reported to Rongguo Mansion again.

He now has to go to Baochai frequently to "consolidate the effects of the medicine" and cannot be absent.

When he arrived at Lixiangyuan, he learned that Aunt Xue was not feeling well today and would not come out to meet him.

Mr. Zhan didn't care about all these red tape, so he slapped Hongye on the butt and went in to find Baochai.

Nowadays, every move of the Xue family is attracting much attention. As soon as the news of Aunt Xue's illness spread, everyone who was concerned knew about it, so the three sisters came to visit her one after another.

Mrs. Wang also got the news and thought that her sister was sad because of the Xue family's affairs, but she couldn't interfere in such matters, so she could only let it go, hoping that the passage of time would alleviate her sister's pain.

But as an elder sister, she couldn't just do nothing, so she asked Caixia to come and visit and asked if she needed to ask the imperial physician to come and treat her.

Aunt Xue knew whether she was sick or not, so she declined the offer immediately.

After Caixia reported back, Mrs. Wang involuntarily recalled that Baochai's illness had been made worse by the imperial physician. She became distressed, fearing that such misfortune would happen to her family in the future.

As for Baochai, after learning about the secret methods used by the Xue family, although she was angry, she also wanted to make further achievements and win the favor of Master Zhan to deal with the hidden tricks.

She knew what Mr. Zhan cared about, so after Tanchun had visited her mother, she had someone invite Tanchun over, took her hand, sat down beside the bed, and asked in a teasing tone:

"You three have been fighting over these days, but have you come to any conclusion?"

Tanchun blushed at her teasing and said awkwardly:

"Made my sister laugh."

Baochai stretched out her finger and touched her forehead, saying angrily:

"What's so funny about this? It's all for the future happiness of our family. If we don't fight for it now, will we regret it later?"

"We are sisters, so I'm telling you, don't worry about what others say. Just focus on this goal and do everything to the utmost."

"The problem now is that everyone is watching you, and whatever method you use, others will naturally follow suit and copy your homework."

"Originally, Baoyu's three maids were all from your family, but now they are one for each family. That's the reason."

"As the saying goes, if things are not kept secret, harm will come to fruition. I will teach you another method. This time, you must do it quietly and don't let anyone in the mansion know, so as to avoid being interfered with again."

Tanchun's eyes immediately lit up, and she shouted happily:

"That would be great!"

"These days, I don't know if it's because the three of us behaved too obviously, but Brother Zhan has come to the mansion less frequently. On the contrary, Sister Xichun, taking advantage of the convenience of the East Mansion, often goes there to visit."

"She is the daughter of the East Palace, of noble status, and close to the people. She has already walked ahead of the three of us."

"If my sister has a magic trick, that would be great."

Baochai sat down next to her and leaned over to whisper:

"If you want to fish, you have to be willing to bait!"

"What's the point of just bringing the maid over? You have to take her out and use her!"

After hearing this, Tanchun's heart skipped a beat and she blurted out:
"what?"

"how to use?"

"Tsk!" Baochai rolled her eyes at her. "Why should I pretend to be stupid in front of my sister? What else can I do? Just find a way to get Brother Zhan to recruit them!"

"This kind of thing..." Tanchun was suddenly speechless.

Baochai then said:

"Of course you can't do this kind of thing in the mansion, otherwise others will follow suit. You have to find a secluded yard outside the mansion specifically for your affair."

"You certainly can't just give your body to him carelessly, but you have to give him enough benefits. Otherwise, how can you make Brother Zhan always remember your kindness?"

"I am not afraid to hide it from you. All the beautiful maids in my yard have been taken in by Brother Zhan."

Tanchun suddenly remembered that her elder sister was a "true virtuous wife" who did not forget to find a successor for her master even when she was about to die.

While he was hesitating, he heard Baochai continue to persuade him:
"Beside Brother Zhan, Sister Yingchun has Aunt Xing whispering on her pillow every night, and Sister Xichun has You Erjie whispering on her pillow every night. If you don't send someone close to you, Sister Tanchun, who will say good things to you every day?"

Tanchun thought about it for a long time, and finally she sighed and agreed.

Baochai said enthusiastically:
"Don't worry about the money. I'll let my brother take care of the yard and other things. You just need to prepare the people, and then you can go there with Brother Zhan for a date and an affair."

"I have a ready-made excuse. When the time comes, I'll ask you out and say that we're going out for an outing to relieve boredom. We'll go in the morning and be back in the evening. I'll be there to cover it up for you, so no one will get suspicious."

"The only problem is whether your maid can listen to you."

"Especially Musk Moon. She was originally Baoyu's maid. Now she has moved to your place, but it is hard to say whether her heart has followed you."

"Don't let it get to the point where she goes to Baoyu to complain, and then the whole city becomes abuzz with it, and everyone knows about it. That would be really embarrassing."

After lowering her head and thinking for a while, Tanchun frowned and said:
"Don't worry about this, sister."

"Although Musk Moon's heart is still with Baoyu, she is a law-abiding person. I don't plan to use her first. If I just ask her to shut up, there will be no problem."

Baochai nodded and said:

"Since you already know what's going on, I won't say much. Just go and get ready. I'll ask you out when I'm done."

After thanking her, Tanchun said goodbye and left, going back to gather the maids around her to prepare to start selecting people.
