Chapter Thirty-Eight: Uncle, be gentle!
After the two fooled around for half a day, Grandmother Jia sent someone to find Daiyu. Daiyu had no choice but to reluctantly bid farewell to Gu Yu and leave the garden to go to Grandmother Jia's place.
In the following days, no one came to Gu Yu's side, so he decided to go home to see Ke Qing.
That evening, a figure slipped out through a crack in the west gate, turned the corner, and entered the side gate of the Gu residence.
For the past six months, Qin Keqing had lived a carefree life. She enjoyed a life of luxury in the Gu family, with everything she needed for clothing, food, housing, and transportation. The servants were also very respectful, and no one dared to give her a hard time.
With the pressure gone, she could focus on recuperating. After a few months, her complexion became much rosier, and her beauty surpassed her former glory, captivating all who beheld her.
After receiving Gu Yu's hint, Qin Keqing got up early this morning and spent half a day picking and choosing before finally blushing and putting on a bright red wide-sleeved pleated skirt.
Although Gu Yu didn't come back very often during this time, the two grew closer. Under Gu Yu's coaxing, Ke Qing gradually tried many new things that she had only seen described in the 'instruction manual' she received when she got married.
Now that Gu Yu could easily pluck this delicate flower, he simply stopped holding back and told her to serve him tonight.
Although she had been married for several years, being confined to the Jia family mansion was merely a change of scenery. She had barely seen her nominal husband throughout the year, and even the servants in the mansion were more familiar with him than he was.
Now that she has been cared for by Gu Yu for some time, Ke Qing has regained her youthful mindset, which matches her age of sixteen or seventeen.
Gu Yu waved away the maids outside the door, gently pushed it open, and saw Qin Keqing sitting at the table with her head bowed. Several red candles cast a romantic glow over the room.
Gu Yu paused, then strolled forward and lifted Qin Keqing's chin. He saw that Keqing had her eyes closed and dared not look at him. Her stunningly beautiful face was flushed, making Gu Yu's mouth water.
Seeing Ke Qing adorned with gold and jade and dressed in bright red, Gu Yu guessed her thoughts. He couldn't help but kiss her soft cheek tenderly, then turned and picked up the wine prepared on the table, poured two glasses, and then picked her up and held her in his arms, smiling:
"My niece's gesture is so kind; it would be impolite for an uncle to refuse. Why don't you come and have a drink with me, so we can consummate our marriage?"
Qin Keqing blushed even more, and her body was covered in sweat from shame. Gu Yu always liked to call her by her previous seniority, and the difference in their seniority always made her feel a strange sense of immorality, but this bad guy always seemed to enjoy it.
However, when Qin Keqing opened her eyes, she saw that he showed no displeasure and knew that he did not dislike her little actions, which touched her heart.
Although she was still a virgin and had never been touched by anyone, she had been married before, which made her less respectable than a virgin.
She was already more than satisfied that Gu Yu was willing to let it go and indulge her in this foolish behavior.
The two raised their glasses and drank together, but before they could even take a sip, Gu Yu was already stimulated by her elegant fragrance and couldn't help but lean in to add more of the fine wine to her drink.
As their lips intertwined, a few drops of wine spilled from Ke Qing's lips and flowed down her fair neck. Gu Yu, not wanting to waste a single drop, licked the wine all the way down, relentlessly working against Ke Qing's collarbone.
Qin Keqing bit her lip tightly, unable to suppress her moans from time to time. Her plaintive voice infuriated Gu Yu, who picked up her soft, boneless body, threw her onto the bed, kicked off his shoes, and climbed onto the couch.
It is said that one can appreciate beauty under the lamplight. Gu Yu looked at Ke Qing's stunningly beautiful face, which seemed to be shrouded in a layer of jade color under the candlelight. He couldn't help but reach out and stroke her pretty face, slowly peeling off her outer clothes to reveal her fair skin underneath.
Qin Keqing possessed the beauty of both Baochai and Daiyu, but that doesn't mean she was like the combination of Baochai and Daiyu. Rather, she had her own unique charm. Although her beautiful eyes were as clever and affectionate as Daiyu's, they also carried a touch of alluring charm.
She merely glanced at Gu Yu with a mixture of shyness and delight, which made Gu Yu feel parched and prompt him to beg for her saliva.
With her hands climbing up to his two mounds, Qin Keqing tensed up with a soft "uh," her arms tightly wrapped around Gu Yu's neck, but she couldn't stop his movements at all, being vigorously kneaded into various shapes.
When the two were naked together, Gu Yu didn't ask her to remove all the accessories from her head; instead, he smiled mischievously and gestured to her.
Qin Keqing's face flushed, and she obediently bent down, opening her cherry-like mouth to swallow and spit out Gu Yu's long dragon with difficulty a few times.
She didn't know if Gu Yu's perverse taste was a common trait among men. Not only did he like to "eat from beginning to end," but he also liked to dress her up in a flamboyant manner and then bury his face between her legs... He also liked to make her call him "uncle" from time to time. It was both shameful and exciting!
Keqing had been busy for half a day without any results, but Gu Yu had made her tremble all over from his caresses. Seeing that the time was about right, he spread her slender legs apart. With a miserable groan, Keqing's face was covered in cold sweat, and her face, which had been flushed just moments before, turned slightly pale.
Gu Yu gently caressed her sensitive areas, distracting her, until the beauty beneath him let out a soft moan and her face flushed slightly. Only then did Gu Yu smile softly and begin his actions.
However, to Gu Yu's surprise, although Qin Keqing's figure was similarly slender to Qingwen's, she was far superior, even surpassing Xiangling. Even with her noticeably protruding, snow-white belly, Gu Yu was still able to fully penetrate her for the first time.
Although it was her first time consummating the marriage, Gu Yu was too excited and his movements were inevitably a bit rough. Qin Keqing just made random moans and groans, but her charming voice made Gu Yu's blood boil even more.
If this hadn't been so intense that Gu Yu had surrendered earlier than usual, he probably wouldn't have realized that Ke Qing was already at her limit, and if things had continued like this, something else might have gone wrong.
Seeing that she really couldn't continue, Gu Yu had no choice but to give up, holding her soft body and moving his hands over her delicate body to help her recover.
Ke Qing first experienced excruciating, tearing pain, followed by waves of pleasure, like floating on clouds, a mix of soreness and swelling, until she could no longer hold on and was almost unconscious before waking up in Gu Yu's arms.
The two lingered there tenderly, not bothering to clean themselves, until the last candle wick burned out, at which point they fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day, Gu Yu was not in a hurry to go into the garden. He just held Qin Keqing, who was unable to get out of bed, and said intimate words to her. Although she was still in pain down there after a day, Qin Keqing felt sweet inside. Lying in Gu Yu's arms, a strong sense of security washed over her.
After all, she had no one to rely on. Even though she had already had an intimate relationship with Gu Yu, she still felt uneasy because she hadn't given her virginity to him.
In particular, Gu Yu rarely returned home from the Jia family mansion, and she felt somewhat hesitant living alone in the Gu family home, always feeling that her relationship with him was not legitimate. Now that their marriage was complete, she could finally rest easy.
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Leisurely Thoughts on Burying Flowers
Gu Yu stayed at the Gu family's house for three days until Ke Qing was able to get out of bed. Only then did he touch her pretty face and leave, fearing that if he didn't leave soon, he wouldn't be able to leave at all.
These days, Keqing's health is not good. As a newlywed, her radiant beauty makes her even more beautiful than a flower. However, he can only touch her but not touch her. This is like scratching an itch through a boot, which only makes him more uncomfortable.
The revolution is not yet successful, and there are still so many beauties he hasn't won over. How can he indulge in the pleasures of love? No matter how alluring Qin Keqing may be, he must remain steadfast... and not indulge in nightly revelry!
Fortunately, besides Daiyu and the other three sisters, no one else usually came over during the pear blossom and spring rain. When Gu Yu returned, nothing happened. However, before Xiangling and the others could ask, Gu Yu impatiently put his arm around the two of them and walked into the room.
Seeing that it was still broad daylight, Qingwen blushed and tried to protest, trying to show that she was not a bad girl who was seducing the young master. But Gu Yu only touched her slender waist, and she went limp and let Gu Yu do as he pleased.
Soon, in addition to the melodious birdsong, two more delicate moans filled the courtyard. Because this place was much more convenient than the previous courtyard, the two no longer had to constantly remember to suppress their voices. However, this, in turn, stimulated Gu Yu to work even harder, and the cycle made the battle even more intense.
Three hours passed before Gu Yu carried the two of them one by one into the bathtub and cleaned them thoroughly, even combing and washing their hair.
The two were so exhausted by Gu Yu that they couldn't even move a finger. They looked disheveled and only managed to stay afloat thanks to Gu Yu's support. They fell into a deep sleep without even having dinner.
Because Grandmother Jia let her daughters into the garden, she felt that her surroundings had suddenly become lonely, so she asked them to come back and spend a few more days with them before she felt a little happier and let them go back.
Daiyu would go there early every morning to pay her respects and then stay there until after dinner. It wasn't until Grandmother Jia told them they didn't have to come every day that Daiyu started thinking about going to Gu Yu's place again.
After breakfast that day, Daiyu saw the fallen flowers by the roadside and had an idea. She picked up a small flower hoe, a flower broom and a flower bag, and went to meet Gu Yu.
She has loved flowers and plants since she was a child. Every time she sees fallen flowers and withered grass, she feels sad. Her mother would always accompany her, collect the fallen flowers in a flower bag and bury them in the ground as a farewell memento.
Although Gu Yu had never seen her in this state before, she unconsciously believed that Gu Yu would definitely stay with her, so she still ran out alone, wanting to find a secluded place with Gu Yu.
When the pear blossoms and spring rain arrived, Daiyu noticed that it seemed a little quieter than in previous years. It wasn't until she saw Gu Yu studying by the window that she understood why.
Upon entering Gu Yu's study, Daiyu looked around and asked with a puzzled expression:
"Where are Xiangling and Qingwen? Zijuan and the others didn't see them go to play. Why aren't they here?"
Gu Yu gave a meaningful smile, and Daiyu shut her mouth, a blush flashing across her face. She didn't bring up the topic again, but simply raised the small tool in her hand to signal Gu Yu to pay attention.
"Brother Yu, how about you come with me to Qinfang Gate?"
Gu Yu's heart skipped a beat. Seeing that Daiyu's complexion was still normal, she didn't ask her why. She just nodded in agreement, tidied up the desk, and went out with her, heading straight for Qinfang Gate in the northeast corner.
The two walked side by side on the pebble path, with fallen petals from the flowering trees on both sides. Gu Yu casually inquired about the reason for the visit, and only breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Daiyu's explanation.
As long as she wasn't feeling down, he naturally wouldn't stop his youngest daughter from having such sentimental and artistic thoughts. He would simply accompany her to complete this seemingly pointless and silly task.
In the original story, the two of them read "The West Chamber" right here. Now that Baoyu has been tricked into going somewhere, he shouldn't even think about such a wonderful thing!
The two strolled to Qinfang Gate. Just as they reached the peach tree by the bridge, a gust of wind blew, knocking down most of the peach blossoms from the tree, covering them and the ground.
Gu Yu helped Daiyu brush the fallen flowers off her clothes, and seeing that quite a few had fallen on her hair as well, making her pretty face look even more radiant, she couldn't help but smile:
"It is evident that even fallen flowers are aware of beauty. Upon seeing a fairy-like figure approaching, they begged the Wind God to come so that they could get close to the beauty."
Daiyu blushed and gave a soft hum, feeling a little shy, but she still bent down to pick up the fallen flowers scattered on the ground.
Gu Yu also squatted down to collect the flowers little by little. The two would occasionally exchange glances, but Daiyu felt that her mood was completely different from when she buried flowers before.
Seeing that Daiyu was soon panting softly, with a few beads of sweat on her forehead, Gu Yu couldn't help but stop her movements and said with heartache:
"These fallen flowers are scattered all over the ground. How can my sister possibly clean them up? It's just a small token of my appreciation."
Daiyu looked up at the flowing water of Qinfang Gate in front of her and couldn't help but say:
“Look how clean the water is here, but once it flows out, it mixes with the dirty and smelly water in places where people live, still ruining the flowers. If I hadn’t seen it, I wouldn’t have bothered, but how could I just stand by and watch them be ruined?”
Gu Yu thought for a moment, then continued:
"Of the three thousand rivers, I only drink from one. Why must you force yourself to collect them all, sister? Each flower has its own destiny. Those that are meant to be accepted by the fairy are destined for good fortune. If they flow away, who knows if it might be a blessing in disguise?"
"Fallen petals are not heartless things; they turn into spring mud to nourish the flowers. Whether they are stuck in cement ditches or buried in fragrant soil, they will eventually turn into nutrients to nourish the flowers that follow. Sister, there is no need to be so stubborn."
Daiyu was startled, repeatedly chewing on the lines "fallen petals are not heartless things," her eyes gradually becoming dazed. After a long while, she came back to her senses, but her expression relaxed considerably.
Seeing that Daiyu understood, Gu Yu felt relieved and was just about to invite Daiyu to his place again when he saw Daiyu looking at him with a half-smile and saying:
"Brother Yu, you are completely wrong. What do you mean by taking only a sip? I'm afraid your sip could scoop up all three thousand weak waters!"
"..."
The two couldn't agree on anything, and in a fit of anger, Gu Yu gently pushed Daiyu, who was squatting on the ground, causing her to gasp and fall backward onto the grass.
Before she could speak, Gu Yu pressed down on her, skillfully capturing her fragrant lips, and they began to entwine passionately amidst the falling petals.
The two chatted back and forth for most of the day before finally separating to get some fresh air. Daiyu blushed and playfully punched Gu Yu, but she was helpless against his lewd behavior.
After all, a young girl who has tasted the sweetness of love is not resistant to intimacy between two people in private. Moreover, being like this with your beloved under the peach blossom tree is simply irresistible.
The two laughed and joked for a while before straightening their clothes, picking up their flower pouches, and heading towards the place Daiyu had previously scouted out.
Unexpectedly, the two hadn't gone far when they saw a familiar figure sitting on the stone platform ahead, intently looking at something.
Daiyu and Gu Yu exchanged a glance, and simultaneously slowed their pace, secretly walking behind the person.
Chapter Forty: The Moon Rises Above the Willow Branches
Baoyu had been praised for writing poems by everyone recently, but after a while he suddenly found it a bit boring, so he just stayed in his room in a sullen mood.
Seeing that he was not interested in anything, Mingyan wanted to cheer him up. She thought and thought, and realized that all the things Baoyu had played with were boring and could not make him happy. The only thing that Baoyu had never seen was this.
After thinking it over, he went to the bookstore and bought many ancient and modern novels, as well as side stories of Fei Yan, He De, Wu Zetian, and Yang Guifei, and legendary tales, and showed them to Baoyu.
Baoyu, as if he had found a treasure, secretly brought a few more sets into the garden, admiring them in private. Seeing that the weather was nice today, he secretly left the maids of Yihong Courtyard and, carrying the book of true knowledge, went alone to the secluded place of Qinfang Gate.
Just as he was reading the most exciting part, Baoyu felt a sweet fragrance in his mouth. He reached out to turn the page when someone suddenly patted his shoulder and laughed.
"Baoyu, what are you doing here?"
Baoyu was startled, his body trembled, and he quickly hid the book in his hand behind his back, jumping up to look behind him.
Unexpectedly, it was Gu Yu and Daiyu standing there, with Gu Yu's hand still outstretched in the air, seemingly still surprised by his quick reaction.
Seeing that no one else was around, Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief. Noticing the two men carrying hoes and baskets, he asked:
"Where have you all been? Why are you dressed as flower farmers?"
Gu Yu smiled and glanced at his hand hidden behind his back, guessing what it was. Without replying, she simply asked with a smile:
"What kind of academic pursuit is this? So focused on it, they don't even notice people coming over."
A strange smile appeared on Daiyu's lips. The two of them tiptoed closer, and even if Baoyu wasn't distracted, he wouldn't easily notice.
Baoyu felt embarrassed and stammered, unable to speak. He didn't know if the two of them had seen it clearly. If they had seen it and he still lied and said it was "The Great Learning," he was afraid he would displease them. But if they hadn't seen it and he confessed, wouldn't he be considered a fool?
Seeing his hesitant expression, Gu Yu was too lazy to tease him anymore and just wanted to spend some time alone with Daiyu.
"Brother Bao, you continue your studies. Sister Lin and I will have to go back to being flower farmers."
Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Daiyu as if to say something, but Daiyu only smiled slightly and took her leave. The two walked away side by side, and Baoyu, having been disturbed, suddenly became somewhat dazed, his mood completely different from before.
He was just thinking about whether to recommend it to Daiyu, but he left without saying a word. Just as he was losing interest in the book, Xiren came looking for him.
Seeing Baoyu standing still, Xiren quickly walked over and said:
"I couldn't find it anywhere, and I didn't want you to come here. The master over there isn't feeling well, and the young ladies have all gone to pay their respects. The old lady wants you to go and get some clothes. Go back and change your clothes."
Upon hearing this, Baoyu quickly put away his book and went with Xiren to their room to change clothes before visiting Jia She.
Gu Yu and Daiyu hadn't gone far when they saw Xiren approaching. Although they couldn't hear what she said, Daiyu turned around and saw the two leaving, so she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh:
"Xiren is too virtuous. She gets as anxious as an ant on a hot pan if she doesn't see him for a while, fearing that Brother Bao will not come back."
As Gu Yu watched the two figures disappear around the corner, she took Daiyu's hand and walked alongside her, a faint smile on her face.
"She's devoted her whole life to Baoyu, how could she not care? Even if Xiangling and Qingwen don't get news of me for a while, wouldn't they still feel the same way?"
Daiyu tightened her grip on Gu Yu's hand, playfully narrowing her eyes. How could Xiangling and the others possibly be worried? She herself would probably be so worried she'd shed a few tears…
"But Brother Yu always tells them before he goes out. Unlike Brother Bao, who is so reckless and runs around all the time, it must be hard on the maids in his courtyard."
Gu Yu's face stiffened, his gaze wandered, and he didn't know what to say to cover up his guilty conscience, so he simply held her hand and strolled around.
The two arrived at an open space to the right of Tubi Villa. As the sun was rising, Gu Yu simply had Daiyu sit on a blue stone to the side while he took her tiny flower hoe and dug a hole, feeling somewhat speechless.
"What's the point of using such a small hoe? Ten strokes with it are less effective than one stroke with a normal hoe. It's just more tiring."
Daiyu sat with her hands supporting her chin, watching Gu Yu work, her heart filled with girlish romance, and a blush appeared on her face.
