Not mentioning that Aunt Xue and her daughter were preparing for their marriage, they said that Jia Heng passed through the Ning Rong Mansion and returned to Ning Guo Mansion through Jiaomen.
At that time, the night was low and the cold wind was howling. As he stepped into the brightly lit inner hall, he saw Qin Keqing, Youshi, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You touching dominoes around an Eight Immortals table, with their maids behind them. Tea was served.
Beside Qin Keqing, Xiang Ling also tilted her head and looked at it, folding her hands, holding her palm-sized face, and looking at the dominoes on the table with her watery eyes.
Seeing Jia Heng's return, several people turned their heads and cast their eyes over him, either bright, brilliant, gentle, or moving.
Qin Keqing smiled and asked, "Husband, have you just come back?"
While speaking, he stood up and walked towards Jia Heng.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "I had dinner with the old lady for a while, and then went to sit in my aunt's courtyard for a while. Where are you playing cards?"
Qin Keqing said: "After dinner, sit here and kill time."
It was still the time of Xuzheng, and it would get dark early in winter. Qin Keqing, Youshi, the second sister, and the third sister gathered around a table to play dominoes after finishing their meal.
Then he asked: "Husband, didn't you go to Wu Chao today? I heard from the second master of Xifu that the palace gave me a python suit. What do you say?"
Jia Heng sat down, took the teacup handed over by Qingwen, and said, "To reward you for your efforts in quelling the chaos, your Majesty will give you a python suit and a brocade robe to guard the governor. Tomorrow there will be an imperial edict."
After getting the confirmation from Jia Heng, Qin Keqing's pink face showed a bit of joy and said softly: "The python suit, this is the official robe that only first-class officials can wear."
Youshi answered with a smile: "Even a first-class official may not be able to wear it. This is the grace of the palace. I remember when I just came through, the Duke of the West Palace was still there. He was respected by the palace and wore a python suit." The body has eight seats for living."
Jia Heng waved his hand and said, "It's far worse than the Duke."
The person who was given the python robe is not a prince, so he can just wear the python robe with a round collar and a round collar.
With a smile in his eyes, You said softly: "Brother Heng is still young, and there are still many opportunities for him to make great achievements. In the future, he may become a prince, prince, or even a county king."
As soon as these words came out, Second Sister You and Third Sister You's beautiful eyes shone with anticipation. They stared at Jia Heng intently, their emotions already ups and downs.
Jia Heng said: "It is too difficult to confer titles on the title of county and king for military merit. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have only been four county kings with different surnames. All of them have made great contributions to the country. They are called emperors and ministers with Taizu, and they are actually brothers. They may have regained Liaodong and destroyed it. Only Donglu has a chance, don't force this matter."
Qin Keqing smiled brightly and said softly: "My husband is right. Wealth and glory are destined for you. You can't force it."
Youshi nodded and looked at Qin Keqing beside him, feeling envious in his heart.
Jia Heng said: "Now that the Holy One wants to use troops to attack the north, it is the time for the imperial court to employ people and to make great military achievements. Many people dare not say that it is still feasible to earn a share of the family business for future generations and pass it down to heirs. .”
Seeing the rare ambition on the young man's face, his eyes showed obsession.
Jia Heng nodded to the three of them, smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You can play cards first. It's still early, and I'll go to the study to read for a while."
In the spring and March of next year, he actually still wants to go to the examination room.
Qin Keqing smiled sweetly and said, "Then go ahead, husband."
Sanjie You said: "Uncle Heng, I have written fifteen chapters and sent them to the study. I would also like to ask you to help me correct the problem."
Because Jia Heng is actually younger than Third Sister You, Third Sister You can't just follow Tan Chun, Dai Yu and others from Xifu and call Jia Heng Big Brother Heng.
Jia Heng said: "Then let me see and if it is feasible, choose a day for printing."
Third Sister You nodded and watched the young man go away.
Jia Heng walked towards the inner study room and sat on the pear wood armchair, with the candle light turned on and it was as bright as day.
Suddenly, I smelled a delicate fragrance. When I raised my eyes, I saw Qingwen twisting the waist of the water snake, holding the tea cup, and said with a sweet smile: "Master, use tea."
Jia Heng was picking up a pile of scripture interpretations, flipping through them casually, smiling at Qingwen: "Just put it aside."
"Yes, it's Young Master." Qingwen responded, putting the cooked Biluochun aside, getting close to the book case, holding the handkerchief, and turned to look at the book in Jia Heng's palm.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Qingwen and said softly: "Do you understand?"
Qingwen smiled and said: I don't know much about the articles of sages and scriptures, but I read them through them. But I don't know why, I fell asleep as soon as I read this book. Only the young master has such great patience. "
As he spoke, he came close behind Jia Heng and pinched his shoulders with his slender hands.
Jia Heng read the book intently and chuckled, "It's pretty strong."
I secretly thought, no wonder in the eyes of scholars, reading at night with red sleeves and fragrant fragrance is so desirable.
Jia Heng read the meaning of the scriptures for a while, but found it difficult and obscure. He also felt sleepy. He couldn't help but stretched out his hands to rub his temples. Suddenly, he heard a movement in his ears, and Qingwen's charming voice came, with a hint of sweetness and sweetness. Mei, "Young master, are you tired?"
Jia Heng said: "The earth dragon is burning in the room. I feel sleepy after sitting for a while. Go and light some incense."
As he spoke, he picked up the tea cup on the side and took a sip to refresh himself.
Qingwen lowered her head slightly, her cheeks were as red as fire, her foxy eyes were full of autumn water, and she said softly: "Young Master, there is no need to light incense. I have a way to refresh you."
Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, frowned, and asked, "What can you do?"
Qingwen didn't answer, and knelt down. The girl's petite, youthful and beautiful soft figure seemed to be leaning on a willow. At this moment, Qingwen was wearing a green jacket and skirt, and her hair was tied up with a red hair, which was as red as fire. , seems to reflect the character of daring to love and hate.
Jia Heng's expression paused, and he noticed something was wrong. He frowned and said, "Qingwen, you... don't make trouble."
He said how to refresh himself...
However, Qingwen did not respond. She became busy with her dexterous fingers, and then buried her head, her beautiful green hair hanging down.
Jia Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, he put the book in his hand aside, picked up a manuscript such as a novel, and started reading it. He felt that in this situation, reading classics and meanings would be a bit "gentle and scum".
It is the script of the Sui and Tang Dynasties written by You Sanjie, which has fifteen chapters.
And just looking at the second chapter, Sui Dynasty Emperor Yang Jian came to Yuchijiong's granddaughter Yuchizhen. I have to say that Sister You's writing is still good, spicy and hot, vivid and fragrant.
A strange expression appeared on Jia Heng's face. He stretched out his hand to lift Qingwen's hair hanging down her face to her ears. Her increasingly charming face, illuminated by the lights, was already as red as red clouds, spreading to her petite and exquisite face. earlobes.
After a long time...
Jia Heng looked at Qingwen, poured out a cup of tea, handed it to Qingwen, and said softly: "You..."
He felt that he had unlocked some of Qingwen's interests.
Coquettishness and dexterity attract people's resentment. This judgment clearly refers to the beauty's skill, not the ability of speaking.
But Qingwen is obviously talented, and she has made rapid progress from being unfamiliar to being proficient in her skills with ease.
While drinking fragrant tea, Qingwen lowered her head and said crisply: "I want to serve you, but he doesn't want me."
Jia Heng handed over a handkerchief, asked Qingwen to wipe her mouth, and said, "I told you, why are you panicking after the New Year?"
Qingwen slightly pursed her glossy red lips, unhappy, and thought to herself, "It turned out that there was the second and third sisters of the You family in front of me, and now there is Xiangling. Seeing that there are more and more people around the young master, When I waited for her to be accepted, I didn't even know where she was in the queue.
Jia Heng rubbed the girl's bangs and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go. I also need to read for a while. Well, open the window and light the incense."
The inner study is a relatively private personal study. Few people usually come here, except for spring visits.
Qingwen said "hmm", raised a pair of charming silky eyes, and said in a charming voice: "Young master, call me if you have something to do later."
"Well, let's go." Jia Heng smiled and said, and then continued to pick up the manuscript sent by Third Sister You and flip through it at will. At this moment, as Qingwen said just now, after refreshing his mind, his mind was clear.
I have roughly read through the manuscript written by Sanjie You. Overall, the writing is pretty good.
Jia Heng opened another book explaining the art of contemporary literature and continued reading. It was not until he saw Zizheng that Jia Heng felt tired and left the study, heading towards the bedroom where he lived.
The lights were still on in Qin Keqing's courtyard. When he entered the wing and saw Qin Keqing sitting sideways on the embroidered couch reading a book, Jia Heng asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
Qin Keqing chuckled and said, "Read the medical books for a while."
Jia Heng hugged the beautiful woman, removed her shoes and socks with orbs, washed her feet with a wooden basin, and said softly: "The Chinese New Year is almost here. In two days, I'll call Mr. Jing from school and go to see my father-in-law together." .”
Qin Keqing put down the book, nestled her little head on her husband's shoulder, and said, "Dad is growing up, and I'm wondering if I can become an official and enjoy peace and happiness."
Jia Heng said: "Let's see what my father-in-law wants. I met him last time. Judging from his intentions, he still wants to continue to be an official."
Qin Ye is in his early sixties and is said to be approaching the age of becoming an official.
The couple talked casually, and as the night got darker, Qin Keqing lowered his eyes slightly and said softly: "Husband, it's getting late, let's take a rest."
Jia Heng nodded and said nothing else. He hugged the beautiful woman who knew how to eat marrow and put down the curtain. He had only one thought: it was a blessing that he was young. Otherwise, his body would really be unable to withstand such a toss.
The Jade Rabbit sets in the west and the Golden Crow rises in the east.
The next day, the sky was bright.
In the courtyard where Youshi is located, Youshi is combing her hair in front of the dressing mirror. The mirror reflects her gentle and quiet face, with a lazy and mature temperament at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.
Behind them, Second Sister You and Third Sister You were talking boredly.
Suddenly, Yin Die, the maid outside, lifted the curtain and entered the side room, panting a little.
Youshi turned around and frowned: "Why are you so flustered so early in the morning?"
Yindie said: "Madam, Mrs. You is here."
Sister You's beautiful face showed surprise, and she said in surprise: "Mother, is she here?"
There was also a trace of doubt in Sister You's beautiful eyes, and she was even a little panicked. She clearly told her family that she was not allowed to come to Ning Mansion, so why did she still...
Youshi's jade face paused slightly, sighed in her heart, and asked: "Where is he now? I'll go see him."
Yindie said: "I was in the back hall at the moment, and I happened to meet the old man who was returning home after a long hard time. He was talking."
Youshi's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and her delicate body trembled.
Not only did Youshi's expression change, but Third Sister You's heart skipped a beat as she said, "Sister, let's go take a look."
Youshi nodded and said, "Let's go now."
In the inner hall, at this moment, Jia Heng was sitting upright, wearing a home robe, holding a cup of tea in his hand, looking at Old Madam You calmly, and said: "Aunt You, Sister-in-law You and the second and third sisters will be here soon. .”
Mrs. You is over forty years old. Her hair is meticulously combed and her face is lined with wrinkles. However, she can vaguely see the charm of her youth. I don’t know if she specially changed into light blue clothes and wore a hat on her head to enter the Duke’s palace. Gold hairpin headdress.
Seeing the young man with sharp eyebrows and heroic temperament across from her, the folds on Mrs. You's face seemed to burst into laughter and she said: "I heard from the second and third sisters that there was a great young hero in the Ning Mansion. Let's see you today." He is truly a talented person with a majestic appearance."
Jia Heng said: "Aunt You is too praised."
He couldn't say he had any prejudice against You Lao Niang.
You Lao Niang looked at the stern young man opposite, her eyes moved, and she thought to herself, no wonder those two little hooves were reluctant to go back. If she were more than ten years younger, she would probably be so happy when she saw this handsome young man. Legs.
"And the young man in front of me is a second-grade military attache of the imperial court. He is young and promising, which is even more remarkable."
The more you looked at me, the more satisfied she became, and she asked intentionally: "Second sister and third sister live here, don't they cause trouble to Uncle Heng?"
Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, thinking of Second Sister You and Third Sister You, and said, "Second Sister and Third Sister are dignified and generous, well-behaved and sensible, and they haven't caused any trouble."
When Mrs. You heard this, her face was filled with smiles, and her heart couldn't help but feel even more joyful.
But at this moment, the bead curtains were heard rustling, accompanied by the sound of jingling rings and the fragrant wind approaching. Mrs. You, the second sister You, and the third sister You entered the hall. The three ladies of the You family all moved towards Mrs. You. Called "Mother".
Mrs. You stood up with a smile, took the hands of the two little girls, and said, "Okay, okay, we haven't seen each other for a while. The second sister and the third sister are getting more and more picky."
At this moment, seeing the three pampered daughters with gorgeous make-up, the joy on their faces couldn't be restrained. However, they paid attention to the corners of their eyebrows and saw that the corners of their eyes were still closed, and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Secretly, what's going on?
She thought that the second sister and the third sister had accomplished good things with Brother Heng, but looking at this posture, something seemed wrong...
Mother and daughter were chatting.
Jia Heng said: "Aunt You, please chat first."
With that said, he left his seat and stood up. He didn't want to hear these filial piety.
Mrs. You smiled and said, "Brother Heng, you go and do your work first. We, the ladies, can just talk here."
After Jia Heng left, Mrs. You looked around at Mrs. You, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You, and said with a smile: "It's amazing."
Sanjie You frowned and asked, "Is this where mother is coming?"
Mrs. You smiled and said, "Come here to see you. Seeing that you are living well here, I feel relieved. I will serve Brother Heng well here. Don't be petty and give birth to a boy and a girl as soon as possible." …”
The second sister You was more obedient, with a hint of shyness and joy in her soft eyebrows, and interrupted: "Mom, it's not what you think. The third sister and I are just staying here with the eldest sister for a few days, and we are not other people's concubines. room."
Mrs. You smiled and said: "It's the same, you two, it will be a matter of time."
Her two daughters were born with beautiful faces and beautiful colors. They were not blessed by ordinary people, and they were only young men like that just now.
Second Sister You blushed at the words.
Youshi sighed and said, "Mom, let's just talk about the second sister and third sister's matters privately. There is a mistress in the house, no matter how bad you are."
Mrs. You smiled and said, "That's right, why don't you see that Aunt Qin?"
"I'm still in the backyard right now." Youshi said softly: "People are also gentle and peaceful. She is originally a daughter of an official family. Her appearance, bearing, and background are also first-class. If I see you and talk to you later, don't That's rude."
Mrs. You smiled and said, "How could it be? It's not too late for me to love her."
Half of her two daughters' happiness falls on this Grandma Qin. How dare she offend her?
While several people were talking, they heard the jingle of rings. Qin Keqing came from outside the eaves of the corridor. She had obviously received a message from You Lao Niang to visit her. As the hostess, she wanted to come over to entertain her. As soon as she entered the hall, she smiled and said : "I think this is Aunt You."
When Mrs. You saw the person coming, she looked up and was startled.
She originally thought that her daughter was already a rare beauty, but when she saw the person coming, her heart beat wildly, and she thought to herself, could this be the fairy in the painting? Her every frown and smile, her body so charming and her voice soft, made her bones feel numb. .
He quickly stood up and came forward, with a flattering smile on his face, and called out: "Grandma Qin, I'm so polite now."
At this moment, Qin Keqing was dressed in a gorgeous dress. She was graceful and gorgeous. Her temples were rolled up high and surrounded by green beads. She walked into the hall with a charming smile of February on her face. She stretched out her hand to support her and said: "Ms. You, I'm embarrassed. Sit down quickly."
Several people chatted again.
You Lao Niang and Qin Keqing were smiling and talking, with obvious embarrassment on their faces, mainly because they felt guilty because their daughter wanted to crawl into another man's bed.
"Second sister and third sister are in your residence, and they are always bothering you." Mrs. You said politely.
Qin Keqing said with a smile: "Second sister, third sister is here to talk with me to relieve my boredom. I feel like my sisters. There is nothing wrong with me."
Hearing this, Mrs. You felt happy and said, "Of my two daughters, the second sister is the quiet one, and the third sister is a bit more aggressive, but she is kind-hearted."
Qin Keqing smiled sweetly and said: "My husband often says so, both sisters are as good as gold and jade."
The smile on Mrs. You's face became brighter and brighter, and every wrinkle seemed to be smiling.
On the side, Third Sister You listened to the gentle, graceful and generous woman talking to her mother in an intimate and natural manner, her bright eyes sparkling, and she secretly thought that she was convinced that such a woman was an important woman.
Suddenly, while Qin Keqing and You Lao Niang were chatting about their daily affairs, the mother-in-law from outside came to report, and the eunuch in the palace delivered the order.
The people who were talking were all stunned.
Qin Keqing knew that it was probably an imperial edict from the palace to confer title and service to her husband, so he was not surprised. With a bright smile on his face as beautiful as a peach and plum, he said: "Baozhu, go and inform the uncle that the imperial edict from the palace has arrived."
Mrs. You on the side didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. She had a look of surprise on her face and cast a pair of questioning eyes on You.
Youshi said softly: "This is a good thing. Brother Heng made great contributions the day before yesterday and received a reward from the palace."
You Lao Niang turned her worries into joy and said: "This is a great joy. Now that I'm here, I can gain some knowledge."
He secretly thought that he was truly worthy of being a noble and wealthy family.
Jia Heng was still in the study at the moment. He was not surprised when he heard the imperial eunuch delivering the edict. When he arrived at the Yimen, he saw Dai Quan, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, passing through the palace surrounded by a group of eunuchs to deliver the edict. , but there were several young eunuchs behind him, each holding a box containing official robes.
Xu is the python suit, belt, official boots and other items given by the emperor.
Dai Quan laughed, held up the imperial edict, and said loudly: "First-class General Yunhui receives the edict."
"The humble minister accepts the order."
Jia Heng immediately set up a case and burned incense, and prepared according to the procedure of receiving the order.
Afterwards, with a high-pitched voice, Emperor Chongping finally issued his decree of commendation to Jia Heng.
The content of the edict is simple. It simply states that Jia Heng calmly responded to the incident, calmed down the incident, and protected the peace of the sacred capital. It comforts me. Then, he adds Jia Heng as the commander of the Jinyi Guard and bestows the special grace of wearing a python suit.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. Long live Long Live." Jia Heng bowed and bowed. After thanking you loudly, he was about to stand up when he heard Dai Quan say: "General Yunhui, please be patient. Your Majesty also has a message for you." It belongs to the mistress of the house."
When Jia Heng heard this, he was stunned. He looked up at the prisoner and said, "Father, what is this?"
Dai Quan said with a smile: "The Holy Emperor has shown great grace by conferring the title of second-grade imperial concubine on the mistress of your residence. Yun Hui will accept her as well."
Since they were all acquaintances, Dai Quan didn't want to go through any trouble, so he sent an order directly to Jia Heng. It turned out that Emperor Chongping returned to the harem after going to court yesterday and chatted with Empress Song about the events of the previous dynasty. Empress Song gave her a reminder. , if it suddenly becomes impossible to award rewards again and again, you may be able to show kindness to Jia Heng's wife.
Emperor Chongping accepted it happily, and then sent an oral edict, and the cabinet drafted another imperial edict.
