Jia Heng sat in Rongqing Hall for a while and then stood up to leave.
Jia Mu smiled and said: "Yuanyang, there are three girls to see off your brother Heng."
After Jia Heng left, Rongqing Hall fell into an eerie silence.
Mrs. Wang's fair face darkened and she said, "Old lady, look at him. Before I even told the third girl to go, he used the precious jade to touch me."
Jia Mu sighed and said: "Brother Heng's temper has always been to tolerate softness rather than toughness. It's not like you don't know that he had such a trouble with Baoyu, his uncle and aunt in the ancestral hall, and now Finally, the family got together and had a meal in peace and harmony. Don't take some things too seriously. He is now the clan leader. Even if he spoke a bit harshly, it was for Baoyu's good. You forgot last time, He also stopped Baoyu and his father..."
"What about him just now? He was obviously trying to govern people. Is this better for Baoyu?" Mrs. Wang finally broke out this time. In other words, because Wang Ziteng was about to return to Beijing, Mrs. Wang, who had been extremely patient, no longer wanted to endure it. .
Because, the previous conversations of several people reminded her that no matter how powerful Uncle Heng was, he was still only a third-grade military attache, and her brother was now in charge of a huge Beijing camp, with a first-grade military commander and a ninth-grade commander. Can't you throw it out and crush Uncle Heng?
When Jia Mu heard this, she remained silent. She looked at Baoyu beside her and sighed.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Sister Feng smiled and smoothed things over and said: "Madam, Qin Zhong, the brother of the Dongfu siblings, is in school now. The child has a weak temperament and looks like a girl. Brother Heng sent him to the school. In Wutang, I worked hard with the coach from Jingying. Qian'er, my brothers and sisters also said that he looks much stronger and less shy."
This is what he said, even his brother-in-law was sent to the martial arts hall to endure hardships, and it was not aimed at Baoyu.
After saying that, Sister Feng glanced at Li Wan and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Brother Lan is also over there. Have you seen Qin Zhong?"
Li Wan was questioned and said softly: "Brother Lan seemed to have said that he also wanted to learn martial arts. He said he wanted to learn martial arts like his Uncle Heng, who is equally capable in both civil and martial arts."
Hearing this, Mother Jia smiled again, looked at Mrs. Wang with a smile, and said: "Let me just say, Brother Heng has no other thoughts, but Baoyu has to study for the imperial examination, otherwise, he really has to go There are people outside with knives and guns, so I can’t sleep well at night.”
Sister Feng was busy trying to persuade her.
When Mrs. Wang saw this, she knew that the old lady was trying to calm things down, so she didn't want to hold on to her any longer, but her resentment remained unabated.
Wait until his brother comes back and then make further arguments!
Daiyu sat on the embroidered pier in the distance, quietly listening to the conversation of several people. A hint of worry appeared in Qiushui's bright eyes. She turned to look at Xiangyun aside, only to see that Xiangyun's pair of bright big eyes also had the same meaning. A little worried.
Although Xiangyun looked lively and cute, he was obviously very thoughtful, and he could see the subtle thoughts of everyone in Rongqing Hall.
In other words, the current situation of the Jia family is dominated by the East Mansion, and Jia's mother is trying her best to bridge the relationship between the second house of the Rong Mansion and the Ning Mansion.
As for the big house, although Jia Mu did not say that she would let it go, she basically maintained it as a whole.
But on Jia Heng's side, Yuanyang held a lantern and escorted Jia Heng off with Tanchun. They left the Rongqing Hall where Jia's mother was, and the three of them walked along the hand corridor towards the Moon Gate.
When they reached the corner, Yuanyang looked at Tanchun, who had a pale face and a sad look on his face. Knowing that the brother and sister had something to say, he chuckled and said: "Uncle Heng, you and the third girl go ahead first, I'm here." Waiting for you."
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Tanchun who was wearing thin clothes and seemed to be shivering in the cold wind, and said: "It's windy outside, but it's a bit cold. Find a side room, and I can talk to my third sister for a while."
mandarin duck:"……"
But after a while, he came to his senses and chuckled: "Uncle Heng, if you don't mind, please come to my place to talk with the third girl first. It's warm and quiet over there, right here."
As he said that, he pointed to a wing room behind a plum tree, not far away.
Jia Heng looked at Yuanyang with gentle eyes and said softly: "Thank you."
Yuanyang smiled and said nothing more.
Tan Chun raised his head and looked at Jia Heng quietly, his bright eyes filled with tears, and his mood was a bit complicated.
"I originally wanted to sit at your place, but now I can go to the Yuanyang House to have a cup of tea. It's still early anyway." Jia Heng smiled and said warmly.
Tanchun was clearly "scared" by Mrs. Wang's attitude. After all, she was a little girl. Mrs. Wang had raised her and she used to be kind and kind. But suddenly she stared at her with such fierce eyes. There was no guarantee that she would not have a psychological shadow.
While the three of them were talking, they came down from the corridor and headed towards the side room. Yuanyang opened the cotton curtain, entered the room, and lit the candlestick.
Jia Heng stepped inside and saw that although the furnishings were simple, they were well organized. There was a fragrance like orchid and musk floating in the air.
Yuanyang chuckled and explained: "It was originally a room specially allocated for serving the old lady. In fact, I don't live there often. I just put some clothes and other sundries there, or I occasionally come here to take a bath and change clothes. On weekdays, , I always sleep in the old lady’s room behind a curtain so that I can serve her more easily.”
If Jia Mu is drinking tea in the middle of the night, or getting up at night, the couple will definitely be inseparable for a while, so it is necessary to set up another couch in Jia Mu's house to serve her.
But it is impossible for Yuanyang to take a bath or change clothes in Jia Mu's house. This is the purpose of allocating a room.
Jia Heng looked around, smiled and said: "This place is elegant and simple, just like the owner."
When Yuanyang heard Jia Heng's praise, she felt happy and her cheeks felt a little warm. Because of the bright lights, the few freckles on her face were not noticeable, and the blush that climbed up her cheeks became even more delicate.
"Uncle Heng, Miss Three, please come inside." Yuanyang said, leading Jia Heng and Tan Chun around a splendid mountain and river screen, inviting them to sit down on chairs, and then turned around to pour tea for them.
"Yuanyang, don't be busy for now. Third sister and I will leave after saying a few words." Jia Heng smiled softly and called.
Yuanyang Yingying turned around, holding two tea cups in her hands, and said softly: "Uncle Heng finally comes to my place once, and he must have a cup of tea."
Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked at the girl. He saw that there seemed to be some kind of emotion in the girl's eyebrows. She seemed to have some realization in her heart. She smiled and no longer refused.
Yuanyang brought the tea cup over, a smile appeared on Yadan's face and said, "Uncle Heng and the third girl are chatting first."
With that said, he walked away.
As for other thoughts, there are actually none.
Because Tanchun is young, if he had been two or three years older, I am afraid that when Jia Heng admired Tanchun so much just now in the Rongqing Hall, everyone would have had some strange thoughts.
As soon as the mandarin ducks left, Tan Chun held up a piece of white paper like the sun, with a confused and frightened jade face, tears filling his eyelashes, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng..."
Jia Heng was about to say something when he smelled a gust of fragrant wind and Tan Chun broke into his arms. He buried his head in his arms and started sobbing.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then reached out and gently touched the girl's trembling shoulders, sighed, and said, "Okay, why are you crying? This cry doesn't look like you anymore, but it looks a bit like your sister Lin."
Tanchun: "???"
She stopped crying, raised her pale and pretty face, widened her bright, teary eyes, and looked at the boy intently.
What's the meaning?
Why are you crying like her, Sister Lin?
Jia Heng said softly: "I heard that Sister Lin loves to cry, but I have never seen Sister Lin cry. Baoyu has seen her a lot, right?"
Tan Chun was crossed by Jia Heng, and his sobbing gradually stopped, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Heng, second brother Bao..."
"I certainly know Baoyu's temperament." Jia Heng said warmly, feeling a fragrant fragrance floating in his nose. Although it was both incense, the fragrance at this moment was a kind of sun-dried rose and lilac. The spices, the tangy aroma seems to contain the beauty of childish beauty.
Jia Heng said: "Let's not talk about Baoyu, let's talk about you. You were brought up by your wife, and you were educated to be polite and literate. Although you are not your biological child, it is still better than your own. She has some misunderstandings about me because of Baoyu, and you Get closer to me... again.”
When Jia Heng said this, he felt a little strange in his heart. He lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in his arms who was already up to his chest, and thought to himself, this is not getting closer, but relying on, admiring, and even... a bit... The first love of love.
But when Tanchun heard the words, his delicate body trembled, her head lowered slightly, she stopped crying, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Jia Heng said softly: "She is a little unhappy, yes, but you don't care about it. As long as she doesn't make it clear to you and makes you alienate me from now on, just turn a blind eye or turn a deaf ear, and don't try to distinguish anything. Just leave everything to me.”
With Mrs. Wang's deep thoughts, she would not directly tell Tanchun to stay away from Jia Heng!
Mrs. Wang is a talkative person, and in order to maintain her magnanimous and benevolent dignity, she will not speak outright, but will only send out signals.
But after his beating just now, Mrs. Wang didn't dare to release the signal again.
Well, Mrs. Wang, you don’t want Baoyu to join the army and be bullied, right?
"Well, I listen to Brother Heng." Tan Chunwen listened to the soft words in his ear and responded softly, and the helplessness and fear gradually disappeared.
I don’t know why, but when I heard the words “Leave everything to me”, I just felt extra peaceful.
Especially now that the sadness is gradually gone, it is hard to hug Brother Heng anymore, but when she woke up from the dream at midnight, holding that handkerchief, thinking about the warmth that made her feel peaceful the day before, she seemed...a little reluctant to let go.
Jia Heng looked at the handsome eyebrows that were as strong as roses, but there was a hint of melancholy and weakness like lilac flowers. His expression paused, and he couldn't help but reached out to rub the air bangs in front of the girl's forehead, and said softly: "Okay. The bright and generous third sister, when did she become so coquettish?"
Tan Chun's bangs were gently messed up in front of his forehead, and he especially felt the "pampering" that seemed to be contained in this action. He felt his heart tremble sharply, and he lowered his head in response. He was a little embarrassed, and his white and greasy cheeks were stained. His face was brightly flushed, his heart was pounding, and he said angrily: "Brother Heng..."
Jia Heng's face was silent for a moment, and he sighed in his heart.
Tan Chun was at a loss for words and asked: "Brother Huan, how are you doing in your martial arts training?"
Jia Heng took advantage of the situation and let go of Tan Chun, and replied: "The instructor said that he has good bones and is a material for martial arts training. In two years, I think he will be more stable and you can worry less."
Tan Chun sighed quietly and said softly: "I can rest assured that he is following Brother Heng. If he continues like that, it won't be a problem in the future."
"His temperament is unstable now. Taking advantage of boarding in the school, he can change his temperament in a new environment and correct it." Jia Heng said softly, then looked at Tanchun again and said with a smile: "You can meet me tomorrow for a while. I'm looking for your sister-in-law here in Dongfu. I will teach you how to write official documents and go out to the capital to suppress bandits. Food, grass, baggage, ordnance, and camping all need to be coordinated. You can watch and learn from the sidelines, whether you need it or not in the future. It’s also good to gain knowledge.”
Hearing this, Tanchun nodded and said happily: "Then I'll go there early tomorrow morning."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "There's no need to get up too early. It's okay for the little girl to take a nap."
"Yes." Tan Chun raised his clear and bright eyes, looked at the boy opposite, and responded.
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's stop here today. It's time for me to go back. Otherwise, your sister-in-law should send someone to hurry up later. Don't do it later, be careful if you catch a cold. You are very thinly dressed." Jia Heng looked at Tan Chun and said warmly.
With that said, he called Yuanyang, took the lantern from his hand, and left Rongguo Mansion alone.
…
…
Ningguo Mansion
In the inner hall, the lights were on.
Four figures were reflected on the screen.
Qin Keqing, Youshi, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You were talking together. In the distance, Baozhu, Ruizhu and other maids were serving refreshments.
The four of them are all pretty and pretty. Now that they are together, they are all wearing silk dresses and gold hairpins and beaded hairpins. Each of them is more beautiful and gorgeous than the other, and they are full of flowers.
During this period of time, although Qin Keqing and the You family were not good sisters, they had a conversation to relieve their boredom, and they also accumulated some feelings of "best friends".
In the meantime, the second sister You and the third sister You didn't go home, but after staying at home for a few days, they were "kicked" back by Mrs. You, asking the two sisters to look for You. It's unclear what they were thinking.
The day before yesterday, Mrs. You even wanted to visit Jia Heng at her residence, but she was "persuaded" by Third Sister You to go back.
In this compartment, Qin Keqing, You Shi and Second Sister You each held a few manuscripts in their hands and looked at them under the light. They were clearly the work of Third Sister You's practice.
Third Sister You was wearing a red dress, with charming and bright eyebrows. She chuckled and said, "Sisters, what do you think of the writing?"
Youshi was wearing a pale blue dress, her temples were held high, and her gorgeous jade face was flushed with the blush of two roses. She said shyly: "My sister's story is pretty good, but why are there so many... erotic touches?"
Second Sister You raised her soft eyebrows and smiled softly: "Sister, I think it's very good. This guy named Li Jing is very affectionate and righteous. He and Hong Fu are wandering around in the world. They are really an exciting couple." The envious fairy scroll couple."
Because it was circulated, the Huimu that Second Sister You held in her hand did not contain a lot of erotic drama.
"I don't have anything romantic here." Qin Keqing said softly, with some curiosity on her charming face, and asked: "Sister, are these three heroes from the Sui Dynasty?"
"Sister Qin was a figure in the Sui Dynasty." Sanjie You responded with a chuckle, then looked at You with a pair of bright eyes that were looking forward to the waves, and said with a chuckle: "I have read a lot of story books these days. I found that as long as it is a story about a talented man and a beautiful woman, this kind of erotic description is indispensable, and maybe everyone likes to read it."
In the past two days, she had looked for many novels and found that the situation was not much better than that of the eldest sister...she had to bathe and change clothes twice a day.
You frowned, folded the two pieces of manuscript paper in his hand, and said softly: "That is a down-and-out scholar who is not afraid of gossip. As a girl who has not yet left the court, you should not write these things and spread them out, for fear of Because of my reputation, I will keep these pictures for you."
Qin Keqing and Second Sister You: "..."
Third Sister You's eyebrows were curved, and she smiled without saying a word.
You raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the gradually darkening night outside. She looked at Qin Keqing aside and said, "The old lady left some food there. She should be back by now, right?"
Although this question was a bit "transgressive", Qin Keqing smiled softly. The beauty's graceful and gorgeous face was so beautiful under the bright lights, and said softly: "I'll call someone to ask later."
These days, Jia Heng has never left home, and has been staying with Qin Keqing at home. She is newlywed, and her beauty and confidence are growing day by day.
At this moment, the mother-in-law outside smiled and said, "Grandma, Uncle Heng is back."
After hearing this, everyone in the hall left their seats and stood up.
Not long after, Jia Heng entered the inner hall, raised his eyes and saw several people, and said softly: "They are all here."
Youshi, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You all stepped forward to greet them. Jia Heng nodded at them, looking over the faces of Youshi, Second Sister, and Third Sister, and exchanged casual greetings.
Qin Keqing stepped forward and took the big cloak from Jia Heng, and said softly: "My husband came back very early today. I haven't been there for a while. Didn't the old lady stay and talk for a while?"
Qin Keqing's words were also asking, I haven't been there for a while, what's the matter with going there unexpectedly?
Jia Heng said softly: "I have something to do with Sister Lin, so I'd like to sit there for a while."
Qin Keqing: "..."
