In Lixiangyuan
Hearing Jia Heng's voice outside, the expressions of several people in the hall changed. For example, Aunt Xue's pupils shrank, and speculation surged in her heart.
Could it be that she took her Pan'er to the Wucheng Bingma Division to be imprisoned?
However, after all, he knew the etiquette between relatives, and was about to call Baochai to come out to greet him, when a nun already led Jia Heng into the hall.
Aunt Xue squeezed out a smile on her fair, plump face and greeted, "Brother Heng is here?"
"Today is New Year's Eve, so I came over to see my aunt, sister and Wenlong." Jia Heng greeted Aunt Xue in a warm voice, his eyes immediately fell on a face that looked like a full moon, and asked: "Baoyu Are you there too?"
The cheerful look on Baoyu's face had long since disappeared. He quickly stepped forward to greet him and said, "Brother Heng, let me come over to see Brother Xue."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "The old lady will prepare the New Year's Eve dinner later, don't forget to use it."
Baoyu lowered his head and responded.
Here, Baochai raised a face as white as a pear, looked at the young man with a clear face and a gentle expression with apricot eyes, and gently called, "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng also looked at Baochai at this moment, his still calm eyes became a little softer, and he called: "Sister Xue."
Hearing this voice, Baochai pursed her pink lips, and the joy in her heart gradually cooled down.
Aunt Xue sat down to welcome Jia Heng and ordered the maid beside her to serve tea.
Jia Heng took the initiative and asked: "Is Wenlong fully recovered? If so, he can go to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division."
Aunt Xue: "..."
I came here with you, Uncle Heng, to arrest her Pan'er and take her to prison to serve her sentence?
Baochai raised his bright apricot eyes and looked at the young man, with mixed emotions in his mind.
Aunt Xue said: "Wenlong can't go to the ground yet. He may need to be raised for ten...a year and a half."
Finally, I thought it was too outrageous, so I temporarily changed my words and said it would be a year and a half.
Jia Heng said: "After a year and a half, the palace's oral instructions may have another change, so maybe there is no need to go."
Aunt Xue said in surprise: "You don't have to go?"
Jia Heng said softly: "The emperor has a golden saying, resisting an edict usually means losing your head, so there is no need to go."
Aunt Xue: "..."
He took a breath of cold air and looked at the young man. Seeing that his expression was serious, it didn't look like he was joking. His heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly said: "Brother Heng... As soon as Pan'er is well, let him go to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division. "
Jia Heng said with relief: "Actually, aunt, there is no need to worry. It will be fine by the end of the first year at the latest, but it can't be too late."
Aunt Xue nodded, having other thoughts at the moment.
Jia Heng looked at the stone in Aunt Xue's hand, frowned and asked, "Aunt, is the jade you are holding in your hand Baoyu?"
Aunt Xue suppressed some resentment in her heart, forced a smile to herself and said: "I just said that I wanted to see Baoyu's jade. The words engraved on it are quite magical. To be honest, they are the same as the golden ones Bao Ya wears. Locks kind of look like that.”
Unlike Ying'er, Aunt Xue could not say that she and Baochai were a couple in front of outsiders.
Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he turned to look at Baochai beside him, and saw that the girl was looking at him steadily at this moment, but her moist and misty almond eyes seemed to contain a bit of bitterness and a bit of resentment. .
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then looked back at Aunt Xue and said softly: "I've been hearing about Baoyu for a long time. I heard it's a rare item and it's relatively resistant to falling. I've always wanted to see it. Can Auntie let me see it?" ?”
Baoyu: "???"
What is anti-fall?
The smile on Aunt Xue's face froze for a moment, and she hurriedly said: "Brother Heng is joking."
For a moment, I didn't know whether I should hand the psychic gem to the boy opposite.
Baochai was listening to the side, and he was feeling depressed. He blinked his almond-shaped eyes, looking at the stern and straight face opposite, he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.
She had also heard some stories about Baoyu throwing jade, but she just looked at the young man who used to be dignified and solemn, and said such narrow-minded words in a serious manner...
Um?
He said this because...
Baochai's heart trembled, she condensed her dew-like almond eyes, and looked at the young man, only to see that the young man seemed to be aware of something, and cast a pair of warm eyes towards him. The meaning in his eyes was inexplicable, and he couldn't help lowering his bright eyes quickly, and his heart also Some of them are indescribable.
You obviously know why...
Jia Heng didn't mention the psychic jade again at this time, and said: "Aunt, I'm going to see Wenlong."
"Okay." Aunt Xue nodded in agreement, handed the psychic jade to Baoyu aside, and said with a smile: "The old lady often said, this is your lifeblood, so you have to put it away."
At this moment, Baoyu felt a little dissatisfied and said: "Aunt, since Brother Xue is fine, I will go back first."
Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment, but she came to her senses and said with a smile: "Go quickly."
Baoyu took the psychic jade, hung it around his neck, and politely said goodbye: "Brother Heng, I'm going back to the old lady's house first."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Go."
Watching Baoyu leave, he and Aunt Xue entered the wing and looked at Xue Pan lying on the bed.
Xue Pan also knew that Jia Heng was coming, and asked with a bitter look on his face: "Brother Heng, are you taking me to jail?"
Jia Heng said: "Look at your injury. It won't be too late to wait until you are well."
Xue Pan let out a long sigh, looked at Aunt Xue aside with a sad expression, and said, "Mom, please allow me to talk to cousin Heng for a while."
Aunt Xue's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she wanted to say something, but seeing the rare "serious" look on Xue Pan's face, she called Baochai and left together, leaving the two of them talking alone.
Xue Pan suddenly said: "Sister, you can stay."
Aunt Xue: "???"
Xue Pan smiled carelessly and said: "Sister is very thoughtful. After I leave, my sister will have to pay more attention to our family's royal merchant business."
Seeing the smile on her son's face, Aunt Xue felt distressed and angry at the same time: "If you don't live up to your expectations, you're counting on your sister."
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, her daughter was indeed knowledgeable.
With that said, he turned around and left the wing.
Jia Heng asked: "What does Wen Long want to tell me?"
Xue Pan looked at Jia Heng and said, "Cousin Heng took good care of me before. Although there was a life lawsuit this time, my sister told me that if we don't report it in advance, I'm afraid there will be a big disaster in the future. It’s just that when I go, there’s no one at home to take care of me. I’ll ask Brother Heng to take care of me in the future.”
Jia Heng pondered for a moment, then met the eyes of the two brothers and sisters and said: "If it is my aunt's business, as long as I run it according to my duties and official matters, there won't be too much trouble."
In fact, he was not surprised by Xue Pan's performance.
Does Xue Pan hold a grudge?
Liu Xianglian beat him into a den of mud and water. Most people would not say that he was ashamed, but regarded it as a great shame and a great humiliation. However, Xue Pan was able to have no grudges and was worthy of his brother. After all, this is a Muddy people.
And even though he was the one who reported the case against Xue Pan, according to the contemporary concept of people’s lives being sued for life, he actually saved Xue Pan’s life. And the key point is that he had saved Xue Pan’s life during the incident in Jingying not long ago. Xue Pan once.
Just when Jia Heng was thinking, two lines of tears suddenly flowed out of Xue Pan Tongling's big eyes, crying and begging: "Brother Heng, when I go, I don't know if there will be a horse with high legs and short legs. Everything in the house will be ruined." Please, Brother Heng."
Hearing this, Jia Heng looked at Xue Pan, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, and said: "Wen Long is too worried. Even if you serve your sentence in the Wucheng Military and Horse Division, you can come back to visit your relatives regularly, and you will not die in prison." worries."
Xue Pan cried: "But there will always be a time when we can't take care of her. My mother is in her late teens, and she can't take care of the family business. My sister is not too young anymore. The things to be chosen before are... My son is yellow again, Brother Heng, look at..."
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Hearing this, Baochai looked embarrassed, anxious and ashamed, and shouted angrily.
How could the brother entrust her to him?
Xue Pan looked at Baochai and said, "Sister, I'm just thinking that Brother Heng knows more capable young people, so he can find a good match for my sister in the future."
Hearing this, Baochai was stunned for a moment, feeling more and more ashamed and angry, and scolded: "I have my mother in charge, and if it's not good, I still have my uncle and uncle. How can such a thing be so good... why bother Brother Heng."
By the end of the sentence, my face was red with embarrassment.
Xue Pan said hurriedly: "Sister, I heard that even my uncle asked Brother Heng to worry about my eldest sister's marriage."
It's not like he doesn't know what's going on with his uncle. He's just been so unlucky that he lost his official position. Where can he find a good match for his sister?
Jia Heng said: "Sister Xue's marriage is decided by my aunt. Besides, there is no need to be too hasty. Wenlong, you don't have to worry too much about this."
When Baochai heard the young man's words, her cheeks suddenly paused. For some reason, there was an unreasonable sourness in her heart that was originally a bit shy.
Xue Pan sighed and said nothing more.
Jia Heng said: "Wenlong, this is also a warning to you. If it is a side case, you can always settle it with some money, but a life case is not a trivial matter. You should be careful after you are released from prison in three years."
Xue Pan listened to Jia Heng's instructions, the look on his face changed, and he sighed again, saying: "I didn't think of beating him to death at the beginning."
Jia Heng nodded, said a few words of relief, then looked at Baochai aside and left the wing.
"Where's mom?" Baochai asked Ying'er beside her.
Ying'er said: "Girl, the old lady just called for someone, and she went to the old lady's courtyard. She said that the girl would go there later."
Baochai opened his mouth, looked at the young man aside, and sighed softly.
For a while, Jia Heng and Baochai were the only two people left in the hall.
Jia Heng looked at the girl with crystal clear skin and said, "Sister, can we talk alone?"
Baochai's heart trembled, and she raised her eyes to look at the young man opposite. Without saying a word, she nodded her head, walked around a screen, opened the cotton silk curtain, and came to the wing where she lived.
"Brother Heng, sit down." Baochai greeted and sat on the embroidered bed supported by the curtain.
Baochai's boudoir is quite simply decorated, especially there are not many calligraphy and paintings on the walls. The walls are white, like a snow cave.
Jia Heng sat down, looked at the elegant girl sitting there, and asked, "Sister, are you complaining about me?"
Hearing these words, Baochai felt as if he had been struck by thunder, his apricot eyes seemed to have condensed with dew, and he shook his head gently.
Jia Heng said: "Sister, do you think I'm unreasonable?"
Baochai's pink lips twitched, and a serious look appeared on her face as white as snow, and she said: "Brother did such a disaster, Brother Heng... did his best."
Jia Heng said: "My sister... seems to be avoiding me these days?"
Hearing the word "hide", Baochai's delicate body trembled, her nose suddenly sore, and tears welling up in her almond-shaped eyes.
Jia Heng asked: "Sister, are you thinking these days, why is it me who exposed Wen Long's case?"
"Brother Heng is saving my brother. I know that if it weren't for Brother Heng, my brother will come back..." Baochai said softly, his voice a little bit more swallowed, and he turned his head to the side, and the pear blossoms were raining.
She didn't know why her heart ached.
Looking at the girl whose eyelashes were filled with tears, Jia Heng looked silent, stepped forward and handed over a handkerchief.
Baochai raised her head and looked at the young man in the python suit with pity in her eyes. She reached out to take the silk handkerchief, thanked her gently, and wiped the tears on her face, but the teardrops seemed like broken pearls. .
Jia Heng said: "Okay, sister Xue, don't cry."
Baochai, who was both ruthless and touching, wept silently in front of her eyes. If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you will never know the impact.
Baochai said "hmm", and for a moment, she felt a little flustered, but the young man was already sitting on his embroidered bed, his apricot eyes moved slightly, and Fang felt a sense of shame in his heart.
Reason told her that she should say something, but she didn't want to say it.
In fact, Jia Heng really didn't mean it. He was moved by Baochai's silent tears for a while, and most of the time he sat down to comfort others.
"Sister, after three years, Wenlong's temperament will probably have greatly improved, and he will not be allowed to endure hardship in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. As for my aunt, the mother is worried about her son, and may have one or two complaints. Don't be bothered by this, sister." Jia Heng comforted softly.
This can be said to be somewhat intimate.
Baochai slowly turned her head, her eyes as bright as water, looked at the young man quietly, and said: "Brother Heng, my mother..."
Jia Heng said: "It's human nature. Auntie can't figure it out for a while, but she will figure it out one day."
As a good girl, Baochai couldn't say anything when her mother made some complaints in private, but she felt depressed about it.
Baochai responded gently, lowered her head slightly, and gently held a handkerchief with her jade hand hidden in her sleeve. She looked at the young man in python suit sitting next to her from the corner of her eye. For a moment, she couldn't explain what she felt, but it was just in her heart. The grievances seemed to disappear.
Jia Heng asked casually: "I just heard Baoyu say that there seems to be words engraved on your golden lock? Did you want to take a look?"
Baochai panicked for no reason and said softly: "It's just for luck, if Brother Heng wants to see..."
As he spoke, his voice gradually became lower.
Jia Heng turned to look at Baochai, who was shy and timid. He was silent for a moment and chuckled: "Then let me take a look. I don't know what words are engraved on it."
"Yes." Baochai bit her lower lip and responded. She endured the shame in her heart, turned around, unbuttoned her breasts, took out a gold lock from her big red coat and brought it over.
Jia Heng took the golden lock and looked at it. It was a little heavy in his hand, and the warm fragrance of the girl seemed to linger on it. He looked at the words engraved on it attentively and read: "Never leave, never leave, forever."
Baochai explained: "People gave me two auspicious words and engraved them on them. Otherwise, they would be heavy and not interesting to wear."
Jia Heng smiled and said: "That's right. My sister has been with her since she was a child, right?"
Baochai said softly: "I've been wearing it since I was a child. These two sentences were given by a mangy monk, the same monk who gave the prescription for Lengxiang Pills."
Jia Heng's eyes were deep and he was lost in thought for a moment.
"Brother Heng, what's wrong?" Seeing the silence of the young man beside him, Baochai turned his bright eyes and asked with concern.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "It's nothing. Just put it away, sister."
With that said, he reached out and handed it back.
Baochai responded softly and stretched out his hand to take it, but when his hands touched, his heart trembled, his face as white as snow was as red as blood, his heart was beating fast, he took the golden lock and put it on .
Jia Heng asked: "Sister, on New Year's Eve, fireworks will be set off at Tianxiang Tower. Can my sister go to Tianxiang Tower to watch them?"
"Go ahead." Baochai whispered.
Jia Heng said: "It's getting late now, why don't we go to Tianxiang Tower together?"
"Now?" Baochai's face showed surprise.
Jia Heng took a look at the sky outside and said, "It's almost midnight now."
Baochai thought for a while and said softly: "Brother Heng, let me change my clothes."
Jia Heng nodded and left the room.
