Volume 6: Dream Record Chapter 430 Yuan Xudong is so bad
Still unsure whether Zhao Pan'er really knew about the affair between him and Zhang Haohao, Yuan Xudong secretly planned to find Zhang Haohao first to find out the whole story, and then confess everything to Zhao Pan'er. With this in mind, he looked at Zhao Pan'er and changed the subject with a smile:
"Oh, by the way, are the teacups you have really all made of imperial porcelain? This is taboo and is not allowed among the common people!"
Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er forced a smile and said:
"It's alright. Those teacups are all famous items that I collected with great difficulty when I was in Qiantang. And I never said they were used by the government. I only said they were loved by the courts of all dynasties. Tea drinkers can say whatever they want. You can't blame me, right?"
"You are really capable, taking advantage of the situation. One moment you are talking about imperial porcelain, and the next moment you are asking He Si and his gang to pretend to be scholars and writers to solicit customers in Chatang Lane. Those who can open a shop there are experts with many years of experience. Merchants in Tokyo are all in groups. You have offended so many of your peers at once. Be careful that they will gang up on you weak women!"
"Are you quite free?"
Looking at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Paner said angrily:
"You don't do anything all day, why do you keep following me?"
Yuan Xudong stopped and looked at Zhao Paner quietly. For some reason, he felt that Zhao Paner, who looked a little angry and jealous, was particularly beautiful.
Zhao Pan'er blushed slightly when he looked at her, and she rolled her eyes at him and said:
"What are you looking at?"
"What do you think I'm looking at?"
Looking at Zhao Pan'er who looked angry, Yuan Xudong reached out and took her delicate hand and asked with a smile:
"Are you angry?"
"No!"
"Still saying no?"
Looking at Zhao Pan'er who was still stubborn, Yuan Xudong pulled her towards the Banzhai Teahouse, smiling gently as he walked:
"Tell me, who made my wife angry? I'll help you vent your anger, okay?"
"I'm not angry!"
After staring at Yuan Xudong who was still pretending to be confused, Zhao Paner snatched the large wooden box containing the Ding kiln plum vase from his hand and walked forward angrily. Yuan Xudong followed her quickly and walked to the Banzhaimian Teahouse. A peach blossom fell and stuck to Zhao Paner's hair. Yuan Xudong picked it off for her. Looking at Yuan Xudong who always treated her so gently, he was so gentlemanly against the background of the peach blossom. Zhao Paner couldn't help but say:
"Xiao Fan, are you..."
Before she could finish her words, Zhao Pan'er suddenly stopped talking. After all, she didn't have the courage to ask. Compared with Zhang Haohao, how could she, Zhao Pan'er, be considered a beauty in the world?
Looking at Zhao Pan'er who was slightly stunned, Yuan Xudong asked with a smile:
"Is it something?"
Zhao Paner felt that someone as smart as Yuan Xudong must have understood why she was so angry, but he didn't give any explanation. She immediately felt resentful and said in a distant tone, "What's the matter with you?"
"Nothing, I have to go in and get busy , you should go back early and stop standing here and getting in the way!"
After that, she walked towards the teahouse holding the big wooden box in her arms, leaving Yuan Xudong alone there. Yuan Xudong looked at Zhao Paner's back as she walked away with her back straight, and suddenly felt a little pity in his heart. He couldn't help but call Zhao Paner and said:
"Pan'er, wait a moment!"
Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er turned her head and looked at him, with a gentle smile on her face, and said:
"what?"
"I know you are angry with me, Pan'er. I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me this time?"
Yuan Xudong walked to Zhao Paner, took her into his arms, took the initiative to admit his mistake and said:
"I never dared to tell you about what happened between Zhang Haohao and I because I was afraid you would be sad. Now I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me this time?"
"Who are you kidding?"
Zhao Pan'er struggled for a while in Yuan Xudong's arms, and finally calmed down and said:
"Bad guy, bad guy, you are always like this, you only know how to make me happy, right?"
"No, I really didn't tease you!"
Yuan Xudong hugged Zhao Pan'er and kissed her forehead. He took out his banknotes and property deeds from the dimensional space and handed them to Zhao Pan'er, saying seriously:
"Pan'er, this is the family's money, as well as the house deed and the land deed. I'm giving them to you for safekeeping. You have to believe me. I really love you. Can you believe me?"
"Fan Lang, you..."
Looking at the stack of banknotes and property deeds in her hand, Zhao Pan'er was stunned. When she came to her senses, she quickly returned the banknotes and property deeds to Yuan Xudong and said:
"You can just keep this much money yourself. I can't take it!"
"Who said I was going to give it to you?"
Looking at Zhao Pan'er, Yuan Xudong stuffed the banknotes and the property deeds into her hands and said jokingly:
"This is the family's money and the title deed. You are the mistress of this family. I am only giving it to you for safekeeping. You can't run away with this money, can you?"
"Who said I was going to run away?"
After giving Yuan Xudong a hard look, Zhao Paner was inexplicably happy to hear him call her the mistress of the house.
"Forget it, I'm glad you have this intention. You should keep this money, as well as the house and land deeds yourself. I'm afraid it's not safe to leave it with me!"
"Okay, it's not safe to keep it with you. My secret is the safest. I guarantee that no one can steal it!"
Although Yuan Xudong did not think that the money was a big deal, after all, money could move people. If people knew that Zhao Pan'er had hundreds of thousands of strings of money on her, it would be inevitable that some bad people would have bad intentions against her, and that would be a loss!
Seeing Yuan Xudong put away all the banknotes, property deeds and land deeds, Zhao Paner couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, wondering if this bad guy was deliberately trying to trick her. She looked at Yuan Xudong and said directly:
"Tell me, what's going on between you and Zhang Haohao? Besides her, do you have any other girlfriends?"
"Then you are not allowed to be angry about what I said, okay?"
"You tell me, I promise I won't be angry!"
"So I really said that?"
"Speak!"
"Did I really say that?"
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Looking at the nagging Yuan Xudong, Zhao Paner couldn't help but glare at him viciously. This bad guy still didn't forget to tease her!
Yuan Xudong coughed twice and cleared his throat. Thinking that a short pain is worse than a long one, he looked at Zhao Pan'er who was also looking at him and said quickly:
"Well, Zhang Haohao said that she was still a prostitute, selling art but not her body. I didn't believe it, so I took her body. You know I hate to see girls cry. Seeing her crying so sadly, I agreed to marry her. But don't worry, she is a concubine and you are the legal wife. After she gets married, she will call you sister!"
"You, why are you so mean?"
Hearing that Yuan Xudong had ruined a good girl's body, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry. This bad guy, why does he like to bully people and ruin the innocence of a girl? Zhao Pan'er's chest rose and fell slightly. She tried to suppress her anger and asked:
"Are there any other young ladies who have been harmed by you?"
After taking a look at Zhao Pan'er, Yuan Xudong decided to go all out and said:
"There are also Sanniang and the young lady from the Gao family, Ouyang Xu's fiancée, Gao Guancha's daughter Gao Hui. There are no others!"
"you……"
Hearing that her good sister Sun Sanniang and Ouyang Xu's fiancée Gao Hui were also there, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but open her eyes wide and said angrily:
"How can you be so mean?"
"Pan'er, I really know I was wrong. I promise there won't be a next time!"
"Bad guy, go to hell!"
Obviously, Yuan Xudong messed up. Zhao Paner ran into the teahouse, but he did not chase her. Instead, he turned around and went to the houseboat in Shuangxi Tower to find Zhang Haohao. He let Zhao Paner calm down alone for a while and then go back to coax her in the evening.
…
On the Shuangxi Tower's painted boat, a group of singing girls were looking at the exquisite fruits of the Banzhaimian Teahouse with envy on their faces. As they ate, they talked about it in a flurry of voices:
"Why do they have so many new varieties of fruit?"
"Yes, it's both beautiful and delicious. I really envy Haohao sister!"
Zhang Haohao sat on the couch and stroked his nails. Although he felt very happy, he said gracefully:
"Of course. Do you have to sing the same song for your guests every day? Eat, eat, don't be shy!"
"Yeah, thank you, good sister!"
"What a nice smell! This is the smell!"
"Haohao sister, why are you so close to Banzhaimian?"
Hearing this, Zhang Haohao glanced at the sisters, raised her chin slightly, and said in a proud and delicate voice:
"Who told me that I am a well-connected person? The lady who plays the pipa with her face half covered, Miss Song, and the shopkeeper, Miss Zhao, keep calling me sister. How can I refuse them?"
“Hmph~~”
As soon as Yuan Xudong entered the Shuangxilou pleasure boat, he heard Zhang Haohao showing off and couldn't help but snorted coldly:
"Mrs. Zhang, you really have a lot of connections!"
"Mr. Xiao!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong pulling aside the bead curtain and walking in with an unhappy look on his face, all the singing girls knew that he was Zhang Haohao's patron, so they all stood up, bowed, greeted him, and then dispersed like birds and beasts.
Seeing Yuan Xudong, who hadn't come to visit him in the boat for several days, Zhang Haohao's eyes flashed with joy, but his face was unhappy and he said:
"Mr. Xiao, who are you angry with?"
Hearing this, Yuan Xudong snorted coldly, walked to the table and sat down, and asked indifferently:
"Madam Zhang, can't you really guess it?"
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong was angry and ignored her, Zhang Haohao couldn't help but get up from the couch. She walked to Yuan Xudong, took the initiative to sit in his arms, and hooked her hands around his neck and said coquettishly:
"My dear, you haven't come to see me for several days. Did I offend you in some way?"
"What do you think?"
Looking at Zhang Haohao who was sitting in his arms and trying to seduce him seductively, Yuan Xudong's heart was moved. He pushed Zhang Haohao away to prevent her from touching his vitals . Yuan Xudong was holding back now, but he couldn't stand her teasing. Unfortunately, Zhang Haohao didn't know Yuan Xudong's unspeakable secret. Seeing that he pushed her away, she couldn't help but said angrily:
"If you have the guts, just chase me away. Shuangxi Building is yours anyway. Chase me away, chase me away, chase me away. Do you dare?"
As Zhang Haohao spoke, she moved closer to Yuan Xudong and snuggled into his arms, saying harsh words in a soft and weak voice. Yuan Xudong said that he really couldn't stand this kind of coquetry. It was not that he was not determined enough, but it was that Zhang Haohao was too good at coquetry. Any normal man would not be able to resist it. Yuan Xudong happened to be in his prime, so it was understandable and not shameful for him to be defeated!
At this time, Zhang Haohao turned her back to Yuan Xudong, pouting her little mouth, puffing her cheeks, and looking angry. She was as cute as she could be. Yuan Xudong couldn't help but smile, hugged her soft body from behind, and coaxed her helplessly:
"Okay, stop it. How dare I hit you? I don't mean to push you away. It's just a little inconvenient. Do you understand?"
"Liar, what's the inconvenience for you? You just want to push me away, you bad guy!"
Zhang Haohao turned her back to Yuan Xudong and acted coquettishly, saying that she would not let Yuan Xudong go so easily, and she must make him coax her today!
"Who lied to you?"
Turning Zhang Haohao's body around so that she was facing him, Yuan Xudong hugged her waist and said jokingly:
"Do you feel it now? You are so charming and attractive, how resist?"
"Bad guy!"
She rolled her eyes at Yuan Xudong charmingly. Zhang Haohao had been holding back for several days since they last parted. She had just tasted the sweetness and had long missed Yuan Xudong. At this moment, being teased by Yuan Xudong, she couldn't help but hug Yuan Xudong's chest tightly, snuggling in his arms, and said shyly:
"Fan Lang, I am now well again, please take good care of me, my husband!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at the shy Zhang Haohao, Yuan Xudong picked her up by the waist and walked towards the bed. He smiled as he walked:
"Then I have to check carefully to see if your wound has really healed, okay?"
“Hmm~~”
Zhang Haohao buried her head in Yuan Xudong's arms, her slender hands hooked around his neck. After hearing Yuan Xudong's dirty words, she couldn't help but nodded slightly and hummed in a mosquito-like voice. Seeing her so gentle and lovely, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but feel excited. He carried her straight to the bed. After a few days, Yuan Xudong would once again take care of this famous Tokyo prostitute. Isn't it a pleasure?
…
The sun was setting in the west, and the golden afterglow of the sunset was sprinkled on the painting boat of Shuangxi Tower. The painting boat was decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and there was a peaceful scene with clusters of flowers. In Zhang Haohao's boudoir, on the huge bed, Yuan Xudong leaned on the headboard, hugged the lazy Zhang Haohao and said with a smile:
"The woman beside the wine shop is like the moon, her white wrists are like frost and snow, the spring water is as blue as the sky, I sleep in the painted boat listening to the rain, there is no regret in this life!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Zhang Haohao lay in his arms, hooking her flawless, delicate hands around his neck and murmured:
"Fan Lang, why were you angry when you first arrived?"
"fine!"
Yuan Xudong hugged Zhang Haohao and said:
"You come home with me tonight. It's time to meet your future sisters!"
"ah?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong say this, Zhang Haohao said reluctantly:
"Fan Lang, can I..."
"cannot!"
Before Zhang Haohao could finish her words, Yuan Xudong interrupted her and said:
"The three shopkeepers with their faces half covered are all my women. You have met Pan'er and Yinzhang. The other one is the cook, Sun Sanniang. Oh, and there is also a little girl named Yinping. She is Yinzhang's personal maid and my favorite concubine. Pan'er will be my legal wife in the future. You must respect her and call her Sister Pan'er or Sister. Do you understand?"
"Got it!"
Zhang Haohao rolled his eyes at Yuan Xudong and said in a complaining tone while lying in his arms:
"I don't care how many women you have. I just want you to be with me. At least one day out of every three days must be mine. Do you agree?"
"Okay, I promise!"
Yuan Xudong hugged the charming Zhang Haohao and rolled around on the bed, then pressed her under him and said jokingly:
"Okay, why are you so greedy? Are you not full yet?"
"No!"
"Not full?"
"no!"
Zhang Haohao lay on her back on the bed. She looked at Yuan Xudong with burning eyes and blushed shyly:
"I mean I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry, come down quickly!"
"don't want!"
Looking at the blushing and shy Zhang Haohao, Yuan Xudong said with a joking smile:
"You are full, but I am not!"
“No…mmmm!”
…
As night fell and the moon rose above the branches, just as Yuan Xudong and Zhang Haohao were enjoying themselves, Zhao Pan'er was sitting under the pavilion at home, calculating the accounts in the teahouse, with a faint smile on her face. At this time, Song Yinzhang and Yinping Yatou were practicing the pipa in the room, and only Sun Sanniang was with Zhao Pan'er. The attentive Sun Sanniang had already noticed the forced smile on Zhao Pan'er's face since she came back from Shuangxi Tower. She couldn't help but show concern for Zhao Pan'er and said,
"Pan'er, what's wrong with you? Ever since you came back from Zhang Haohao's place, this smile has seemed to have grown on your face!"
"Where is it?"
Looking at Sun Sanniang, Zhao Pan'er still smiled faintly, unwilling to admit it.
"Just wait, I'll let you see for yourself!"
After taking a steady look at Zhao Pan'er, Sun Sanniang turned and left. After a moment, she took out a bronze mirror and placed it in front of Zhao Pan'er and said:
"Take a good look at it yourself!"
Zhao Pan'er looked at herself in the mirror and burst out laughing:
"Isn't that how we smile every day when we do business? Our faces are frozen from smiling!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Looking at Zhao Pan'er who was forcing a smile, Sun Sanniang sat beside her and said distressedly:
"I've never seen you like this before. What happened? Did something happen between you and Master Xiao?"
Speaking of this, Sun Sanniang felt inexplicably guilty. What happened between her and Yuan Xudong did make her feel a little sorry for Zhao Paner, but she really couldn't bring herself to speak about it. She could only bury the matter in her heart and dared not tell anyone!
After taking a look at Sun Sanniang, Zhao Paner forced a smile and said:
"No, nothing!"
As she spoke, Zhao Pan'er lowered her head involuntarily. The smile on her face gradually disappeared. Finally, a line of tears flowed down her cheeks. She felt wronged and choked up as she said:
"Sanniang, I...I..."
Seeing Zhao Pan'er crying sadly and choking with sobs, Sun Sanniang quickly sat down beside her and said softly:
"Pan'er, talk, I'm listening!"
Looking up at Sun Sanniang who was full of concern for her, Zhao Pan'er said with tears streaming down her face:
"Sanniang, I might really like him!"
