Rongqingtang
The hall was enveloped in a festive atmosphere.
Jia's mother sat on the Luohan bed, looked at Jia Zheng, and said with emotion: "Come to think of it, it was ten or twenty years ago when your father was listed on the death certificate. At that time, the family didn't know anything about the imperial examination." The right path, coupled with the favor of the palace, is not good for the palace, but I don’t want you to stay in the first office of the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years. If I had known today, Xu had resigned from the official position, you Is it better to take the imperial examination route from now on?"
When Jia Zhengcheng Zu Yin'en was appointed as a member of the Ministry of Industry's Dushui Qingli Division, he was nearly twenty years old in the blink of an eye. He really remained motionless and was never promoted again.
There is no other reason. He was granted an official position by courtesy and was suddenly appointed as a department member. He was not on the right track, so he would inevitably be ignored by his superiors and looked down upon by his colleagues. He would not be exposed to any practical work, nor would he be able to train his talents.
Of course, Jia Daishan did not do anything wrong. Maybe he saw that his youngest son's temperament was too broad-minded and unfit for officialdom. Taking the imperial examination would probably not work, and it was risky. It was better to ask for a favor and preserve wealth for three generations.
Listening to Jia's mother sighing and sighing, Jia Zheng looked a little dazed. The image of working as an official in the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years appeared in his heart. His mood gradually became complicated, and he said: "Although his official career has stagnated in these years, he is fortunate to be at home. Everything went smoothly for the most part, but now that I think about it, my father was also very foresighted at the beginning, knowing that his son was not qualified for the big responsibilities."
A person with a strong heart will have to go through three self-understandings from youth to maturity.
The first time is to realize that one's parents are ordinary people; the second time is to realize that oneself is an ordinary person; the third time is to realize that one's child is an ordinary person.
As you get older, in your thirties and forties, you will clearly feel the boundaries of your cognitive level and personal abilities, and you will gradually reconcile with yourself.
Jia Zhengzi is no exception. Now after comparing with Jia Heng of Dongfu and various things, he has gradually realized the shortcomings of his abilities.
In fact, in the original work, when he was supervising the academic affairs, Jia Zheng had made no achievements in the officialdom and was disheartened. After returning, he suddenly felt that Baoyu's temperament might not be bad after all. This was the final reconciliation with himself.
Sister Feng smiled, changed the subject and said, "Ancestor, now my hard work has finally come to an end. Old lady, we have to invite the troupe and the lively sideshows."
But I knew what was going on in my heart. It seemed that Brother Dongfu Heng was running for the master, so he had two children. I don’t know...
With these thoughts in mind, Sister Feng took a peek at Mrs. Wang and saw that she couldn't hide the joy on her face.
In my heart, I am afraid that even the imperial edict will be promoted to the fourth level.
"Yeah, let's not talk about it anymore, we have to celebrate happily." Jia Mu smiled and nodded, looked at Yuanyang again, and said, "Brother Heng, why hasn't he come back yet? And the big girl, she It’s time to come back and celebrate.”
Mrs. Wang answered: "I think it's time for the eldest girl to come back. It's not a problem for my daughter's family to be outside all the time."
I don't know if it was her misunderstanding, but I always felt that Uncle Heng, intentionally or unintentionally, didn't want her eldest daughter to stay in the house.
Jia Mu said, "It's already noon. Let's have some food first. Lin Zhixiao, go and send the boy to watch outside and see when Brother Heng comes back."
Lin Zhixiao responded and then left the hall.
Just when everyone in the Jia family was enveloped in an atmosphere of joy, Jia Heng also ordered thousands of criminals in Jinyi Mansion to deal with the criminals in Gongling, take confessions, search the criminals' properties, and register them.
It was not until noon that Jia Heng took a summary of the relevant seized property, left Jinyi Mansion, and came to the eldest princess's house in Jinyang.
It was noon, and the bright spring light shone in the courtyard. Jia Heng was walking on the corridor with the female official. Through the flower wall and the pavilion, he heard the sound of piano music coming from the distant attic.
Loft, second floor
Through the curls of green smoke rising from a small round enamel blue incense burner in front of the table, you can see a woman in her twenties, wearing a light yellow dress, with a gold-winged crested hairpin on her temples, and eyebrows like a black moth. , with bright eyes like stars, a plump, white face, and rosy cheeks, a bit sweet in its beauty.
On the wicker chair on the wooden balcony, the eldest princess of Jinyang was wearing a red dress, holding a storybook in her hand and looking down at it.
(This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 526 Jia Heng: How do you want to serve me, eldest sister?
The sycamore tree outside the window has taken out its green leaves and is swaying in the spring breeze. An oriole cries on the branches of the sycamore tree, then flaps its wings and flies towards the blue sky.
Compared with the turmoil of Jia Mansion, this place is undoubtedly happy, peaceful and natural.
"Your Highness, Governor Jia is here." At this time, accompanied by the sound of embroidered shoes stepping on the wooden ladder, Lianxue went up to the attic and walked around a three-leaf screen with ladies holding flowers.
The music sounded suddenly.
"I just thought that he should come here at this time." Princess Jinyang put down the book in her hand, and the jade bracelet on Ning Shuanghao's wrist also dropped, and she stood up.
Yuan Chun was overjoyed and raised his slightly drooped head. His round face with curved eyebrows and plump cheeks was filled with joy and he said, "Brother Heng has also finished investigating the case, right?"
While he was talking, he saw a young man in a python suit entering the attic and looking at the graceful beauty who had already stood up.
The eldest princess of Jinyang is wearing a vermilion embroidered phoenix dress, with a slender waist and high waist. Her snow-white face and jade skin reflect the sun, shining like haze and gorgeous clouds.
Yuanchun also got up, with a plump figure and gentle eyebrows. "What are your highness and eldest sister doing?" Jia Heng asked.
"Just playing the piano, where did Ziyu come from?" Princess Jinyang smiled and asked.
Jia Heng found a chair and sat down, saying: "I just came from the Yamen, so come and sit for a while, and then go to Beijing Camp in the afternoon."
Then, he took out a booklet from the cowhide bag he carried with him and said: "Previously in Jinyi Mansion, I interrogated several places where silver was hidden. I have ordered people to retrieve the property. There should be news in the next two days. , this is the property of the prisoner that was recently seized."
"I'll take a look later." Princess Jinyang's smile was as bright as a spring flower. Although the boy opposite was hiding his face deeply, she could still tell that there seemed to be something hidden in his eyebrows.
His heart moved slightly, he raised his eyes to look at Lianxue and said with a smile: "Lianxue, it's already noon, let's go and ask the kitchen to prepare lunch."
Lianxue nodded in agreement, and then greeted the surrounding nuns to leave.
Yuanchun raised his face and looked at the young man intently, his beautiful watery eyes unwavering.
I didn't miss her this much in the past. Maybe as my feelings have heated up in the past few days, I feel a little panicked just because I can't see him for a while.
Jia Heng also felt something. He turned to look at Yuan Chun, met those soft eyes, and said softly: "Sister, I heard from the primary school in Jinyi Mansion that the master has resigned and has been transferred to the General Affairs Department. Youtongzheng."
When Yuanchun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, with surprise on his face, and said: "This... I remember when I was a child, my father was in the Ministry of Industry. Many years have passed."
As he spoke, he felt a little excited. He looked at Jia Heng gratefully and asked, "Brother Heng, did you take the trouble?"
Jia Heng said warmly: "I was not allowed to move several times after my rank was reached. Now it is a matter of course. I just pushed it casually and didn't bother too much."
Listening to the conversation between the two, the eldest princess Jinyang interrupted with a smile: "We will prepare wine and food later. You, brother and sister, have a good drink to celebrate."
Yuanchun said softly "Hmm".
While talking, Lianxue prepared wine and food, and several people sat down in the small hall beside them. After three rounds of wine, the food tasted five.
The eldest princess of Jinyang asked curiously: "Ziyu, why haven't you been transferred to the Ministry of Industry?"
At this time, Yuan Chun also looked at Jia Heng. His cheeks were rosy from drinking some wine, extending to his earlobes and neck. "I am a Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Industry. If I am promoted to one level, I will be a doctor in the first department. It is better to be in the General Affairs Department. I will wait for another two years to seek political participation in a province." Jia Heng put down the wine cup and said: "And the General Affairs Department is also Be more relaxed."
Yuan Chun said: "Brother Heng, my father is getting older, so it is a good thing for him to go to the General Affairs Department."
The eldest princess of Jinyang nodded and said: "You may as well go to the General Administration Department. This is not the Sixth Department of Yamen, and it is not very eye-catching."
"I had the same idea." Jia Heng smiled and whispered, then looked at Yuan Chun who was holding a wine bottle and said: "Sister, I don't drink much wine, so just drink less."
Yuanchun nodded his head, perhaps because of the wine, and the beautiful eyes under the willow leaves' thin eyebrows were like a lake of autumn water, filled with endless affection. The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled and said: "Ziyu, you two siblings will have a nice chat later.
(This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 526 Jia Heng: How do you want to serve me, eldest sister?
When Yuanchun heard this, his cheeks turned red. Jia Heng nodded.
"But the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent another batch of account books. Ziyu will go with me to take a look." Princess Jinyang's soft eyes fell on Jia Heng's face and she said softly.
Lu Mingxuan, in the study
Jia Heng stood in front of the window, lost in thought.
"Why don't you look like you are not in high spirits today?" At this moment, the eldest princess of Jinyang hugged Jia Heng from behind, and the soft body in front of her was close to her. The fragrance of orchid and musk floated on Jia Heng's nose. It was clearly breathing like orchid in the ear.
Jia Heng suddenly relaxed and said calmly: "It's nothing."
I don't know if it was his imagination, but it felt like Li'er had grown up a bit.
Princess Jinyang's beautiful face showed a trace of thought, she pulled Jia Heng's shoulder and said with a smile: "Commander Jia, you might as well let me guess, it is probably not a matter in the court. After all, the case of the Ministry of Industry has just been concluded. And Jia Zheng of Xifu has just been promoted to an official, so it will no longer be the court, but only the family affairs? It makes Governor Jia's brows gloomy, thinking it is the matter of the back house? What, this is and Did the Qin girl quarrel?"
"There was no quarrel." Jia Heng couldn't help but laugh, looking at the dazzling beauty, he said softly.
Jinyang is like a big sister sometimes, considerate and sensitive to emotions. Of course, he won't write his thoughts on his face, but Jinyang still captures it.
"I remember the day before yesterday, didn't she just get a first-grade imperial title? Shouldn't the family be full of joy?" Princess Jinyang blinked and asked.
There was no quarrel, but no denial, and that was all because of Qin.
Jia Heng said: "Yes."
The eldest princess of Jinyang saw that the young man's eyes were dazed for a moment, and suddenly she felt blessed. Her jade face paused slightly, and she said strangely: "Why, she discovered our affairs?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's not it. Don't guess."
"Okay, I won't guess anymore." Jin Yang saw that Jia Heng really didn't want to say anything, so he stopped asking. He stepped forward and took Jia Heng's hand, walked to the bed, and caught Jia Heng off guard, holding him in his arms. He said in a soft tone: "Okay, don't be so sad. No matter what happens, if you feel bored, you can come over to me. If you want to say something, I will give you an idea." , if you don’t want to talk, let’s do something else, well, besides, your eldest sister is here too.”
Jia Heng was so hugged by the eldest princess of Jinyang that he couldn't breathe. He could only feel the fragrance of snow filling his mouth and nose, but he could also feel the beauty's soft and watery maternal nature, which seemed to be used to resolve some of his emotions. Actually, it doesn't really matter.
Baochai and Keqing were actually on good terms, although it was a bit unexpected, but as time passed and the running-in period passed, they gradually became harmonious. It was impossible to say that they would stop the civil war that day and be united in dealing with the outside world.
Because even Baochai is not a jealous person. In the original work, she can tolerate Xiren's presence next to Baoyu.
After a while, Princess Jinyang's cheeks were slightly red, she was breathing lightly, and said softly: "I will change my clothes later, and I will go into the palace to see the emperor brother. You go and talk to Yuan Chun. I will watch." She wanted to talk to you just now, but because I was here, she couldn't."
Jia Heng said "hmm" and did not take advantage of the opportunity to mention Yuanchun. He took the beauty's jade hand and asked: "Is it about the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Princess Jinyang nodded and sighed: "Go to the palace to see the emperor." the meaning of."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "You have a sense of the Holy Emperor's temperament and can make your own decision."
"Well, well, I'll make you sticky and have to take a bath and change clothes." Princess Jinyang said angrily.
Jia Heng watched the beauty leave, and all the thoughts in his mind gradually dissipated. After thinking about it, he went to the courtyard where Yuanchun lived.
In the wing room, there is a fragrance like orchid and musk floating in the air, which is refreshing.
Yuan Chun sat crookedly on the bed, his head tilted slightly, as if he was drunk now. He didn't feel any nausea, but he was just slightly drunk, as if he was walking on the top of the clouds.
"Girl, I don't know how the uncle manages it, but he has been promoted to two levels now." With the sound of "crash la la", Bao Qin twisted the towel in the copper basin filled with water, and handed it over as he spoke. Help Yuanchun wipe his cheeks.
Because he grew up in the palace, Baoqin was not ignorant of the officialdom.
Yuanchun's bright eyes filled with water opened a glimmer, and he sighed: "Yes, neither does Hengdi (this chapter is not finished yet!)"
Chapter 526 Jia Heng: How do you want to serve me, eldest sister?
No one knows how busy he is, taking care of everything inside and outside. "
Hengdi must be doing it for her, otherwise he wouldn't have just settled in with her, helped his father, and been promoted two levels in one go.
Bao Qin said: "Uncle Heng really treats the East and West mansions as one family, and he is also...sincerely kind to the girl."
At the end of the sentence, my voice was trembling. Yuanchun was stunned for a moment and said softly: "Yeah."
Baoqin must have noticed some clues, but they grew up together, so there was no need to worry.
"It's good that the girl knows what's going on." Baoqin smiled and said softly.
Just as the master and servant were talking, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside and asked: "Sister, you didn't take a nap?"
While Jia Heng was speaking, he opened the curtain and entered the side room and the back room. He looked at Yuan Chun who was lying on his side on the bed and was about to sit up. He smiled and said, "Sister, there's no need to get up. Just rest."
Yuan Chun's jade face was calm, and she raised her eyes to look at the young man in the python suit. She couldn't hide her surprise and said, "Brother Heng, why are you here?"
She thought Hengdi was "serving" His Highness at this time. Was it already over?
Jia Heng rushed towards Bao Qin who saluted him and nodded. He walked closer to the bedside and said, "I just advised my eldest sister to drink less. Look at her face, which is so red."
"I'm happy today." Yuanchun said softly, his cheeks feeling dizzy. Baoqin then offered two cups of tea, placed them on the small table beside him, and said with a smile: "Uncle, let's chat with our girl, I'll go out first.
With that said, he exited the room.
Obviously, as a personal maid, she naturally knows some clues about the situation between the two of them.
Jia Heng nodded, picked up the tea cup, lowered his head and took a sip. He felt that it was not hot and moved closer to Yuan Chun.
"Sister, drink tea."
Yuanchun said "hmm", lowered his head and took a sip, looking at the young man shyly.
Jia Heng took the tea cup, took an orange from the fruit plate, peeled it open, handed over an orange segment, and said, "Sister, please eat something sour to suppress the alcohol."
Esterification reaction can relieve hangover. Saying that, he handed it to Yuanchun's lips.
"Brother Heng, I can just do it myself..." Yuanchun whispered sweetly and shyly at the same time.
"It's okay, I just like to serve big sister."
Yuanchun's heart skipped a beat when he heard the word "serve", but he also opened his pink lips.
After Jia Heng finished feeding, he asked, "Sister, do you feel better?"
"Well, it's better."
Jia Heng looked at Yuanchun, whose face was rosy, pink and even a little baby fat, and said softly: "After drinking some wine in the future, you can eat something sour."
"Brother Heng, is this... huh?" Yuan Chun said, his beautiful eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly, but when he saw a shadow approaching, he felt his lips soften, and the familiar plunder came again.
She closed her beautiful eyes slightly and let out a snort from her nose.
Jia Heng held Yuan Chun in his arms and held the jade tiger in one hand. The softness and richness of the lump overflowed. He said warmly: "Sister, do you want to come back to Rongguo Mansion with me in the afternoon? After all, it is such a big deal for me to be promoted." Son, my daughter, eldest sister, should always go back and take a look."
Yuan Chun was flustered by the teasing in front of his clothes, and said tremblingly: "Yes, but Brother Heng was not worried about Mom before...
Jia Heng whispered: "But there is no reason why the eldest sister should not be reunited with her family."
Hearing this, Yuan Chun raised her jade face, held the young man's hand tightly, and said softly: "Brother Heng, my mother had some prejudices against you because of Baoyu's incident. Brother Heng feels unhappy because of this. In the future... ..."
Mom, she and Hengdi have some misunderstandings, and sometimes she doesn't know how to persuade them, so she can only compensate her lover in this way.
Jia Heng joked: "What can I do in the future?"
"From now on, I...serve, serve Hengdi, and I can only apologize to Hengdi." Yuanchun finished this sentence with a surge of wine, as if he had exhausted all his life's strength, plump and white His face was as bright as fire, and his face was as crimson as the clouds, extending all the way to his neck, and his voice was like a mosquito.
Jia Heng was startled for a moment, then he moved closer to the delicate earlobe and couldn't help puckering his lips. After a while, he whispered: "How do you want to serve me, eldest sister?"
Yuanchun's delicate body paused slightly, as if struck by thunder.
(This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 526 Jia Heng: How do you want to serve me, eldest sister?
She bowed her head and was so ashamed that she couldn't help herself. How else could she serve him? She would serve him like His Highness Jinyang.
Jia Heng lowered his eyes and looked at the girl with dizzy cheeks. His eyes lingered on Ying's lips for a moment, and his heart was touched.
Because he was going to return to Rongguo Mansion later, Yuanchun's behavior... was bound to be seen.
Moreover, he also vaguely doesn't want to do it now...
"Sister, this is a lifelong thing for us, so we are not in a hurry." Jia Heng thought for a while and said softly.
"Yeah." Yuanchun replied calmly.
"But, eldest sister, how about we serve each other for a while, take a shower later, and then I take you back?" Jia Heng said softly, and without waiting for Yuan Chun to say more, he lowered the curtain on the golden hook. After a while, there was a coughing sound.
Jia Heng gently brushed Yuan Chun's hair around his ears and looked at the rosy hibiscus jade face, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in his heart.
That is a completely different feeling from Qingwen. Yuanchun has a gentle temperament, but the two of them have one thing in common, raw and spiritual.
"Sister, there's no need..." Jia Heng frowned, looked at Yuan Chun, and whispered.
Yuanchun turned his head away and said in a soft voice: "The medical books say... this is a great tonic. Besides, when I see your highness..."
Jia Heng: "..."
Where did you read this medical book?
And Li'er seems to be like this, right?
Jia Heng suppressed the weirdness in his heart, put his arms around Yuan Chun's jade shoulders, and said warmly: "Then I will reciprocate and serve my eldest sister."
If I hadn't been worried about Yuanchun's first steps, I wouldn't have waited until now.
"Brother Heng, don't..."
Yuan Chunfang was slightly frightened. She propped up an arm and stood up, but in the end she couldn't defeat Jia Heng.
I don't know how long it took, but Jia Heng took the handkerchief and wiped his face expressionlessly, feeling something strange in his heart, which he usually didn't notice.
"Brother Heng." Yuanchun had buried her head tightly in the pillow at this time. She just felt that she really didn't have to live anymore. She didn't know what happened just now.
It would have been better if I hadn't drank that cup of tea earlier.
However, this has nothing to do with drinking tea or not.
Jia Heng then lay down, hugged Yuan Chun who was already "loveless", smiled and said: "Sister, okay, don't be embarrassed, just now... it was even, but I I didn’t catch it here.”
Yuanchun said "Yeah", and for a moment, his heart skipped a beat. Is it even? Well, what do you mean by not catching it? What are these words?
Jia Heng knew that Yuanchun was too embarrassed to take care of himself, so he stopped teasing and said warmly: "Sister, in a few days, let's go out and walk around. If there is a chance to go south, eldest sister will also go to Huaiyang with me. Take a walk around, see the Jiangnan scenery and taste the Jiangnan delicacies.”
He may not be able to give Yuanchun status in the short term, but he will give her love.
"Yeah." Yuanchun also regained some of his emotions at this time, and seemed to feel some of the complex emotions in the young man's words, and responded in a low voice, feeling shy and happy, but also a little sweet.
After what happened just now, she will be his for the rest of her life. I stayed with Yuan Chun for a while, and then returned to Rongguo Mansion after taking a bath.
