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

Page 77

"Oh right, the two buckets of lychees I asked to be delivered from home should have arrived by now. Could you send someone to pick them up so that everyone can have a taste?"

Tan Chun was surprised to hear this, and quickly asked with a smile:

"Lychees? How can they be ripe before May? Usually, it takes another ten days to half a month for the first harvest. Where did Brother Yu get them from?"

"Although they are grown in the capital area, they ripen late and are not sweet enough. My sister doesn't know that the lychees in Lingnan are already ripe at this time of year. They are big, sweet, and fresh, and they are the most delicious."

"It's just a pity that lychees don't last more than a few days. If you don't finish them, they'll spoil. I just send a few buckets of them chilled in ice and deliver them over as a quick treat."

Xiangyun was stunned. She didn't know where Lingnan was, but she had heard that it was thousands of miles away. This philandering scoundrel actually went to such lengths to send lychees over to please his sisters. It was simply... simply extravagant!

"Ah, I know that. 'A rider gallops through the dust, bringing smiles to the imperial concubine's face, but no one knows it's lychees that have arrived.' Brother Yu certainly has a grand gesture!"

Xi Chun clapped her hands and laughed, but the story she brought up... Several girls who understood the story shifted uncomfortably, feeling their faces flush.

Gu Yu couldn't help but smile. He teased Xi Chun a couple more times before casually finding a seat. Xiang Ling stood obediently behind him and massaged his shoulders. Suddenly, she felt a strange sensation. She subconsciously looked over and saw that the girl Xiang Yun was glaring at her master with resentment. She was taken aback.

After thinking for a moment, Xiangling pretended not to notice and focused on serving him. She vaguely knew what the master was thinking. In any case, this person was also part of the master's pot. No matter how much she got angry, she could only be like the stubborn Qingwen in the end. She would even kiss him until he softened his lips. Let's see how stubborn he is!

Chapter Ninety-Three: Who Gains the Advantage?

When the fruits were served, Xichun, taking advantage of being closest to Gu Yu, blushed and secretly glanced at him. Her alluring demeanor made Gu Yu's heart flutter, and he hurriedly peeled a few lychees and fed them to her.

"Little sister, would you like to try some? If you like it, I'll have someone send some over later."

Xi Chun boldly moved forward a little more, taking Gu Yu's fingers into her mouth and playfully licking them a couple of times before pulling away. She kept staring straight into Gu Yu's eyes, her words seemingly carrying a hidden meaning.

"Brother Yu's food... is naturally delicious. I wonder if there will be any more tomorrow after we eat it today?"

Although Daiyu couldn't see Xichun's expression clearly, she could see Gu Yu's smug look. She couldn't help but snort in her heart, and the lychee she had just swallowed suddenly didn't taste so sweet anymore.

When Baochai noticed that Daiyu had suddenly fallen silent, she turned her head sharply and happened to see Gu Yu feeding her another one. Her smile froze, and she fell silent for a moment.

The people talking on the field sensed that something was wrong and stopped talking, leaving only Gu Yu, who was a step behind, still happily feeding Xi Chun.

"What does my sister think of this melon? Next time it's frozen, we can put it in the well water—"

Gu Yu finally realized something was wrong and stiffened. She subconsciously looked over and was surprised to see that Daiyu and Baochai were staring at her with a half-smile, either shy or cold. Except for Xiangyun, who looked disgusted.

"Um... Sister Bao, is it not sweet enough? Why aren't you all eating? Hurry up and eat..."

Gu Yu chuckled twice, trying to break the ice with a joke, but no one paid him any attention, making him even more embarrassed.

Daiyu glared at him resentfully, but still turned her head and said:

"Since we've got nothing to do anyway, how about Second Sister plays a game of chess with me? It's been a long time since we sisters have gotten together, so let's play a little longer today."

Baochai smiled naturally, stood up, pulled Xiangyun aside, and walked towards Daiyu and the others:

"Then Yun and I will have to take a good look. The other day when we played chess, eight out of ten games were a mess. Today we'll see what kind of moves you two have."

"I... I just did it casually, it's nothing."

...

Seeing the lively scene return, Gu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but secretly pinch Xi Chun's pretty face. This girl almost tempted him to commit a crime!

Seeing that Xiangyun and the others had gone to the chessboard, Xichun winked mischievously at Gu Yu, then suddenly leaned over, grabbed his finger, and deliberately stuck out her tongue to entwine and lick it twice before letting go. Before Gu Yu could react, she jumped off the chair and pulled Qingwen away from the side.

As for being seen by Qingwen and Xiangling? Both of them are Yu-gege's concubines, and I am Yu-gege's wife, so what is there to be afraid of?

"..."

Gu Yu felt the dampness between his fingers, his heartbeat quickened slightly, and his already lingering anger intensified. But with so many people present, he couldn't be too outrageous. After glancing around, his eyes lit up when he saw Tan Chun standing alone, and he quickly went over to strike up a conversation.

"Is my younger sister still practicing calligraphy?"

Tan Chun glanced up at Gu Yu, and the moment her eyes met his burning gaze, her heart trembled. She quickly lowered her head, her voice carrying a strange and hesitant tone, completely devoid of her usual forthrightness.

"Hmm... still... still practicing..."

Gu Yu noticed that the tips of her ears were stained red, and his heart skipped a beat. He glanced at the women on the chessboard, coughed twice, and then reached out to help Tan Chun up.

"In that case, how about we write a couple of posts?"

"..."

Feeling the hot spring enveloping her small hands, Tan Chun became like a puppet on a string, only following Gu Yu towards the desk, her mind already wandering far away.

Since that time she threw herself into Gu Yu's arms and cried, it seems like there hasn't been such close contact since. Just thinking about her little thoughts, no matter how fierce she is on weekdays, she immediately becomes a soft cat when she sees Gu Yu, and can't even raise her voice.

Now Gu Yu is holding my hand to write again, although it's not the same time or the same place, but...

Gu Yu had just picked up his pen to write when he felt the delicate body in his arms tremble and lean back slightly, rubbing against him almost imperceptibly. He couldn't help but smile, then pretended not to notice and deliberately pressed himself even closer, as if to concentrate more on reading the words.

"My sister should put more pressure on her hands; how come she can't even hold a pen?"

"Hmm...? Ah, yes..."

"Little sister, can you see clearly how to write this character?"

"Um…"

Tan Chun's face was flushed, and she answered the conversation in a half-hearted manner, with most of her attention focused on the warmth behind her.

If it weren't for her lingering girlish reserve, she probably would have already collapsed softly into his arms in her dreams. Now, however, she has to pretend to be practicing calligraphy seriously, yet she can't help but lean closer to him as if by accident, as if every unintentional touch makes her heart leap with joy.

The thought of secretly taking advantage of Yu-gege filled Tan Chun with both shame and excitement, and her eyes were no longer focused on the calligraphy.

"..."

"younger sister?…"

"Um…"

A smile flashed across Gu Yu's lips. Hearing that none of the women beside her were coming to disturb her, she leaned close to Tan Chun's ear and gently blew a breath of warm air into her delicate pink earlobe.

"Is my sister thinking of me?"

"Huh... Ah?!!"

Tan Chun nodded in response subconsciously, then realized what was happening, her face flushed, and she almost cried out in surprise. Gu Yu, who was prepared, covered her mouth with one hand, dropped the pen with the other, and directly held Tan Chun's small hand in front of his chest.

Shh...don't let them hear...

This time, her dream had truly come true. After being held in Gu Yu's arms for a long time, Tan Chun was still unable to recover. Her pretty face was flushed red, and even after Gu Yu released her mouth, she didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Tan Chun was completely dazed, Gu Yu didn't take it to heart. He simply hugged the girl in his arms tighter, his voice tinged with amusement.

"But was I wrong? Or did I guess right? Could it be that my sister has always been in her heart—"

Before he could finish speaking, Tan Chun, blushing, hurriedly raised her hand to cover his mouth. Afraid of upsetting the girl who was receiving a confession for the first time, Gu Yu obediently shut his mouth and stopped teasing her.

The two were silent for a while. Tan Chun blushed and just put down her small hand, wanting to say something, when suddenly there was a knock on the door. Startled, Tan Chun jumped out of Gu Yu's arms and turned her back, not daring to look at him anymore.

"Young master, dinner is ready. Shall we serve the dishes?"

"..."

Gu Yu's lips twitched, speechless for a moment, and she could only give up for the time being.

"Let's serve."

"Hey."

The women inside the room also heard the commotion, but they just laughed and wanted to finish the game. Gu Yu went over to watch the excitement for a while, and after a while, Tan Chun came over with a normal expression and joined her sisters.

Seeing that the game was at a stalemate, Gu Yu sneaked up behind Daiyu and touched her waist. Daiyu blushed and made several bad moves. Yingchun seized the opportunity and launched a series of attacks. Before long, the game was over.

"Sister Lin lost!"

Xichun cheerfully pulled Daiyu up, then urged everyone to go eat. She and Baochai simultaneously pulled Xiangyun aside to chat and laugh, leaving Xiangyun unable to attend to both of them.

She had just seen Gu Yu's little actions and took the initiative to cover for him. Now, among the sisters who understand each other, there is no place for Xiangyun. As Yu-gege's good wife, she naturally has to be considerate!

Chapter Ninety-Four: This is just too much...

When everyone arrived at the table, Gu Yu looked at the two seats on either side of her and was at a loss. She wanted to find Qingwen and Xiangling, but they had already gone to the side hall with Zijuan and the others and would only come over later to help serve the dishes.

This is also a unique feature of Gu Yu's place. On ordinary days, when they have meals together, they don't need maids to serve them. Not only is it uncomfortable for the maids to serve them, but the maids are also uncomfortable to be served. Wouldn't it be better for the sisters to chat and laugh freely?

Zijuan and Ying'er were one thing, but for Shishu and Ruhua, seeing such intimate behavior was never appropriate, so they simply moved them elsewhere, which made everyone happy.

However, after things became so casual, Gu Yu felt embarrassed to use any rules of seniority or hierarchy to determine the seating arrangement, which only made the closeness or distance of the relationships in her arrangement seem more apparent.

Seeing that none of the women spoke up for a moment, Daiyu's eyes darted around, a sly glint in them. She first pulled Baochai's hand and led her to sit down to Gu Yu's left, then invited Xiangyun to sit down as well.

Baochai glanced at the seat to Gu Yu's right, pursed her lips, gave Daiyu a disapproving look, smiled helplessly, and could only follow her lead and pull Xiangyun over to sit to her left.

Xi Chun was about to speak when she saw that there was no seat left. She quickly took two steps to reserve the seat to Gu Yu's right, then pretended to listen to Bao Chai and the others chatting and laughing, determined not to move.

Although Tan Chun was filled with mixed feelings of shame and joy after what had just happened, she was too embarrassed to get close to Gu Yu again. She silently gave up her seat and let Ying Chun sit down before sitting down next to her and meeting up with Xiang Yun.

The Jia family usually uses eight-immortal tables, and the round tables they usually use are all small. However, Gu Yu's table is a large one, and everyone sits around it, which adds to the liveliness and warmth.

After the maids finished serving the dishes, Gu Yu pretended to be serious and said a few words of thanks to everyone for visiting, which only made the sisters laugh and joke.

"Why are you so polite when you come every day? But you've been thanking us now that we've come less often? Could it be that Brother Yu's gratitude is for thanking us for not bothering you?"

Daiyu, with a half-smile, stirred things up from the side. She picked up a piece of shrimp from the side and tasted it, then casually picked up another piece and put it in Gu Yu's bowl. Suddenly, she realized what she was doing, quickly withdrew her hand, and lowered her head to let the steam dissipate.

Fortunately, everyone was laughing and joking, and she was standing close by, so no one noticed her little actions for a while.

Xiangyun regained some of her liveliness at this moment. After all, no matter how hateful Gu Yu was, the food was innocent. If she ate more, she would let this lecher spend more money!

As she ate, watching Gu Yu and Daiyu exchanging glances, Xichun pouted, suddenly shifted her position, and casually picked at her chopsticks with one hand before approaching Gu Yu.

"Brother Yu, I want to eat shrimp~"

Gu Yu turned her head and saw Xi Chun's expectant little expression. She quickly smiled and agreed, not caring about the heat, and directly picked up a shrimp and started peeling the meat, while constantly reminding her:

"Does your sister like this flavor? It's just too oily, salty, and spicy; she can only try two or three bites—..."

Gu Yu's eyelids twitched, and his thighs tensed up involuntarily. Looking at Xi Chun's drooping left hand, he couldn't help but understand what had happened.

"This girl..."

Feeling that little hand flitting around her clothes like a butterfly flitting through flowers, Gu Yu had already stepped forward, despite not having reached her destination yet.

"Hi~"

Finally, when that little hand touched the dragon's head, Gu Yu couldn't help but shudder. Looking at the women around her, who were only two or three meters away, chatting and laughing, while she was doing something so exciting, her heart was pounding, but she couldn't help but want to continue.

The two of them fell silent for a moment, one shoveling rice grains into her mouth and the other slowly peeling shrimp shells. Daiyu tilted her head to look at them with suspicion, but seeing that Gu Yu was sitting obediently eating shrimp, she stopped paying attention and turned back to laughing and joking with Baochai and the others.

Xichun lowered her head in a daze, her heart pounding like a little rabbit. She didn't know why she was suddenly so bold, but seeing Sister Lin and Brother Yu being so close, she couldn't help but want to share in their joy.

Although it was strange to do this, she knew which part of Yu-ge's body was most sensitive, and judging from the blank look on his face, she knew whether he liked doing this or not...

Thinking of this, Xichun put a little more strength into her hands, but her hands were small and the thing was too big, so she couldn't move it around and could only rub around the head.

Gu Yu endured it again and again. Although doing this was very exciting, the direct physical stimulation was not enough to make him ejaculate. He was pounding so hard he felt like he was about to explode, but he just couldn't get it to go on. He couldn't say it out loud, nor could he make any moves. He didn't know if this was a reward or a punishment.

No matter how slowly you peel a shrimp, it will eventually be finished. Gu Yu took advantage of the time while feeding the shrimp to press down Xi Chun's hand before she had to continue peeling the shrimp and get distracted. She could only hope that the little girl would understand what she meant.

As expected, Xichun failed to understand his thoughts and continued to rub her head gently. However, after feeling that the throbbing had stopped, she vaguely understood a few things. Thinking about some of the knowledge that Gu Yu had taught her before, she changed her method.

Feeling the little finger constantly rubbing against her exit, Gu Yu's hand trembled, almost dropping the shrimp in her hand. Her cheeks tightened, and even her temples bulged.

"..."

As if a witch were toying with him, that little hand kept probing inside. Just when he was about to lose control, a finger was about to forcefully block the exit. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then she relentlessly pushed her luck. However, the pleasure gradually accumulated, waiting for the moment of explosion.

After Gu Yu mechanically peeled the fifth prawn, Xi Chun didn't even look at the pile of prawn meat in the bowl. She drank two cups of tea, rinsed her mouth with water, then took off the sachet from her waist, threw it aside, and squatted down as if picking something up.

Yingchun ate her meal silently, occasionally glancing at Gu Yu peeling shrimp for her younger sister Xichun, feeling a little envious. She didn't pay attention when she saw Xichun squat down to pick something up, but she was surprised to see Xichun lift the tablecloth and crawl under the table. She was stunned. Could things really roll under the table?

After a while, Xichun still hadn't come out. Yingchun hesitated and was about to look down when she saw Gu Yu's face... that expression seemed somewhat familiar.

Yingchun thought for a long time before suddenly realizing what was happening. She hurriedly lowered her head to eat, her pretty face flushed red, and her heart pounding wildly.

She never expected that her younger sister Xichun would be so bold... After a while, Xichun finally sat up, shook her wrist, and gave Gu Yu a silly smile, finally enjoying her reward for her labor.

“Sister Xichun…you…”

Yingchun hesitantly poked Xichun's hand, and before she could ask, the sight of the white stain on Xichun's chin, which she hadn't licked clean, and the faint, distinctive smell, already said it all.

"What's wrong with Second Sister?"

"It's alright! It's alright..."

Xichun stared blankly at Yingchun, who was waving her hands in a panic, for a moment, then smiled sweetly and buried her head in her food.

"Yu-gege's scent..."
