While he was talking, Qingwen came from the outside and looked at Qin Keqing who was sitting on the bed, and said softly: "Sir, the hot water is ready."

Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Qin Keqing, smiled and said, "Keqing, wait a moment, I'll be here soon."

He was tossing back and forth, tired from all the travel, and wanted to take a bath.

Qin Keqing's originally tense mind relaxed a little and said softly: "Go ahead, Mr. Lang."

Jia Heng stood up, walked behind the screen, and said, "Baozhu, pour some tea for grandma."

Now that I have taken off my red hijab, I don’t have to be so taboo about food and drink.

Then, Jia Heng came to the west wing to take a bath. In the tub, Jia Heng took a bath while sorting out his thoughts.

Jia Zhen's matter will come to an end within one or two days, but from Xu Lu's implication, it should be difficult to cure her death penalty.

"I learned from Han Hui earlier that the person behind the Four Kings and Eight Dukes should be the Supreme Emperor. However, the Supreme Emperor's favor will not be infinite. If the Supreme Emperor wants to intervene, he will be impeached by Shangshu, a close minister of Emperor Chongping. The price is huge, especially even if Emperor Chongping opened the net in the end, he still planted a nail." Jia Heng sorted it out in his mind, "However, if a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, people need to watch Jia Zhen to prevent her from even more crazy revenge. .”

Thinking of this, a beautiful, familiar face appeared in front of Jia Heng's eyes - Youshi.

"I need to take some time to see Youshi."

Jia Rong is definitely not good at it. Once Jia Zhen is blamed, especially if she is deprived of her title, Jia Rong's mind will probably change.

At that time, not only Jia Rong, but also Jia's mother's mind would change, and she would feel "resentful" towards him, a distant branch of Ningguo.

This is the human heart!

The power of the Jia family was itself supported by the two people who wanted to seize the title, Jia Zhen and Jia She. Now that one of the two main pillars is gone, even if he continues to be responsible, the people of the Jia family will inevitably feel resentful.

As for You, although this woman was also affected by Jia Zhen's interests, this wife, known as the "saw-mouthed gourd" in Dream of Red Mansions, is not an unreasonable person, and is mainly weak in temperament and resigned.

When Baoyu met with Qin Zhong in Yanning Mansion, he said that he would not do any work for Jiao Da and would just treat him like a dead man. He could always treat others with leniency.

Jia Heng thought for a while and waited for an opportunity to meet him tomorrow. As expected, the Jia Mansion would learn about Jia Zhen being detained by Jingzhao Yamen tomorrow and ask him to enter the Rongguo Mansion for questioning.

Thinking like this, Jia Heng also got up from the bathtub, wiped himself, changed his clothes, and saw Qingwen pouting at the door with a smile.

"Why are you laughing?" Jia Heng was stunned for a moment and looked at Qingwen.

Qingwen handed over the fragrant tea at the side, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Young Master, today is the wedding day, I have never seen anyone as slow and leisurely as the Young Master."

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Who else have you seen get married?"

Qingwen's face stiffened, she pursed her lips, and said softly: "Listen, besides meeting the young master, who else can I meet? If the young master really has a wife, then..."

Jia Heng smiled and said, "I'm joking with you, but you're still angry. You're allowed to make fun of me, but I'm not allowed to talk back, right?"

Qingwen fiddled with her hair on the front, feeling a little aggrieved, and muttered in a low voice: "Where am I angry?"

Seeing Jia Heng smiling and saying nothing, he pushed Jia Heng's shoulder and said, "Young master, hurry up and go to the bridal chamber. Be careful not to keep the young mistress waiting."

Jia Heng said: "You should also rest early."

He secretly thought in his heart that the courtyard where he lived now was still too small after all, and he didn't even need to listen in the corner. Qingwen could hear it clearly with a wall between him and him.

With this thought in mind, I returned to the wing.

"Uncle, grandma is reading in the inner room." Baozhu said with a smile.

Jia Heng was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that this girl was "arrogant at first and respectful at the end", but then she thought about it and realized that she had doubts about him before, and it was only human nature to listen to the wind or rain.

After all, the fate of the dowry maid and the young lady are closely linked.

Entering the room, he saw Qin Keqing holding a stack of manuscripts in his hand and reading attentively, with a look of astonishment and surprise on his face.

"Ke Qing," Jia Heng called softly, sat next to Qin Keqing, and said with a smile, "What are you looking at?"

"Is this written by Mr. Lang?" Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes were full of color, and her heavenly face could not hide her surprise.

"Well, now that I'm studying to prepare for the exam, I have to find some income and write articles to make a living. Didn't I say that at my father-in-law's house before?" Jia Heng said with a smile.

Qin Keqing said softly: "I...forgot what Mr. Lang said."

As she spoke, she looked at the young man across from her, her cheeks gradually turning red with embarrassment, and her head lowered. She had misunderstood this man at first, but as her father said, he was indeed very talented.

Jia Heng smiled lightly and said, "Okay, let's see tomorrow. It's getting late, so it's time to rest."

While talking, he took the manuscript from Qin Keqing's hand and put it on the tables aside. When he turned around and returned, he went to untie Qin Keqing's clothes.

Qin Keqing also lowered her eyebrows slightly and took off the phoenix crown on her head.

At that time, the maid Baozhu walked out from the side at some point and said in surprise: "My aunt, you haven't drank the Henu wine yet."

While talking, maid Ruizhu picked up a tray from behind with wine utensils placed on it.

Jia Heng glanced at the orb, took the wine cup, handed one to Qin Keqing, then picked up one himself, and said: "Ke Qing, after ten years of cultivation, I was able to cross the same boat, and a hundred years of cultivation, I was able to sleep together. You and I will drink this cup to the full."

At this moment, there are also some emotions about the past and present life, getting married and starting a business.

Qin Keqing raised her fair and rosy face like a peony stamen, and her beautiful eyes were as full as water under the willow leaves' thin eyebrows. She looked at the boy intently, her cherry lips twitched, and said: "Mr. Lang..."

The two drank a glass of wine and put the cups back. Baozhu and Ruizhu looked at each other, with a hint of shy joy in their eyebrows, and laughed in unison: "I wish my uncle and grandma a happy marriage and a happy son soon."

After the second maid left, Jia Heng looked at Qin Keqing, whose cheeks were red with embarrassment, his eyebrows were downcast, and his hands were hidden somewhere, and he softly called out: "Keqing..."

"Mr. Lang... um~"

Qin Keqing raised his eyes and glanced at the young man opposite him, and saw a dark shadow flashing, and soft, moist breath coming towards his lips.

Qin Keqing's jade face was as hot as fire, her beautiful eyes under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows trembled, her eyelashes drooped, and she couldn't help but let out a disgusted snort in her beautiful nose.





The long night is deep, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival with a full moon. The moonlight is as bright as silver, hanging in the sky, but perhaps I am ashamed to see a certain scene. Hidden behind the willow branches, on the high table, two red sticks with gold paint engraved with the word "Happiness" are engraved on them. The candle burned quietly, with lines of tears. Suddenly, the red candle flame and the lanterns crackled and suddenly became brighter.

The red candle shines brightly all night long.

The next day, the golden rooster broke, and the soft light of the morning sun jumped on the eaves, passed through the sparse green bamboo branches, and entered the wing through the window lattice. Jia Heng took a look at the sleeping beauty beside him, with pink cheeks and traces of tears still there. , with disheveled temples and beautiful face, I couldn't help but feel a bit of love and pity in my heart.

He gently kissed the beauty's smooth and jade-like forehead, stood up gently, put on a green shirt and robe, and got up to wash up.

"Sir, are you up so early?" Qingwen asked as she passed by the wing where Qingwen lived, rubbing her sleepy eyes. Apparently she fell asleep late last night.

Jia Heng's face was as usual, his eyes were bright, and he showed no signs of fatigue after last night's rain and wind. He smiled and said, "Get up and practice martial arts. As the saying goes, a day should not be wasted."

Although warm-scented nephrite is good, it should not be indulged in.

After Jia Heng finished speaking, he came to the courtyard, worked up his strength, and performed a set of boxing techniques. He felt extremely comfortable, and when he got up, he saw the maid Bi'er standing in the courtyard, looking at him with shining eyes.

Jia Heng was surprised and asked, "Do you understand?"
