Ningguo Mansion
Seeing Qin Keqing's emotion, Sister Feng was the first to persuade, and several others also followed suit. They stopped talking about Niu Jizong's family, and the sisters gathered together to talk and laugh again.
As Qin Keqing spoke, he cast his watery gaze on Tanchun and asked with a smile: "Third sister has always been a knowledgeable person. How long do you think it will take for your brother to come back?"
Hearing this, all the sisters stopped talking and laughing and looked at Tanchun.
Xiangyun smiled and took Tanchun's little hand and said, "Third sister, please tell me, everyone is waiting."
Tanchun was stared at by the people around him, his eyebrows were lowered, as if he was a little shy, then he raised his eyes and looked at Qin Keqing, and said: "Sister-in-law, you can't say for sure. Brother Heng has just arrived in Luoyang, so the next step is to talk to Qin Keqing." When the thieves fight, looking at Brother Heng's intentions, he plans to fight steadily and step by step, just like setting up the stance before fighting in a game of Go. Moreover, even if the thieves are defeated, there are still a lot of things to finish afterwards. "
When Yingchun heard the game of Go, his eyes lit up and he looked thoughtful.
Tanchun said: "Sister-in-law, what Sister-in-law Feng said just now is right. Brother Heng has always planned and then moved. If he doesn't move, he will be angry. If he moves, he will be thunderous. Sister-in-law, don't worry too much."
She knew from the beginning to the end that Brother Heng would win here, and that it would be a clean victory. Even if he fought slowly and steadily, it would not hinder the speed of his troops.
Baochai took a deep look at Tanchun and pursed her pink lips.
Secretly, the third sister gained deeper insights as he practiced his talents.
Sister Feng smiled and said: "Listen, you all, San Yatou is really amazing now. No wonder Brother Heng said that he would take San Yatou with the army that day, and the old lady and I were shocked. Also, how can anyone around here Without such a female military advisor to give advice."
Everyone chuckled when they heard this joke.
Tanchun's cheeks turned red, and there was annoyance in Yingli's eyes as she said, "Sister-in-law just told me to say it, but Sister-in-law Feng made fun of me again."
These were all briefly mentioned to her by Brother Heng a few days ago when he was deducing the situation, and she had nothing to do these days to think about things in Henan, and she also figured out some tricks.
Xiangyun smiled and said, "If the third sister comes over, she and the Xianning sister happen to be both civil and military, and they are Brother Heng's right-hand man."
Previously, Princess Xianning and Xiang Yun were talking together, talking about her martial arts skills, which made Xiang Yun, who was in the shape of a mantis and a crane, very excited and eager to try.
- When the female family members heard "Princess Xianning", the smiles on their faces could not help but froze. They all looked at Qin Keqing with a vague look. Even if they didn't say something openly, they would inevitably murmur in their hearts.
The emperor's daughter followed him to quell the chaos. Doesn't this mean something else?
The smile on Baochai's plump and fair face faded slightly, and her crystal-moist apricot eyes glanced at the hibiscus-jade-faced, graceful beauty.
He left in a hurry that day, and she didn't have time to ask him about Princess Xianning. Maybe... she couldn't even ask him, otherwise it would be like she couldn't tolerate anyone.
It was even difficult for her to discuss the matter with Sister Qin unless Sister Qin took the initiative to mention it to her. In fact, this is also the reason why Qin Keqing was alone with Baochai these days, and after several hesitations, he did not mention the matter of Princess Xianning.
It’s not a chain of suspicion like “Jia’s Mansion is like a dark forest, and every gold hairpin is a hunter with a gun.” Nor is it the modern urban consciousness of whoever takes the lead first.
It is about the moral norms of this era for women who live in the house. Out of consideration for the continuity of the clan, it is impossible for a large family to favor only one person and not accept concubines.
Jealousy is one of the Seven Outcomes and is contrary to virtue and virtue. Therefore, neither Qin Keqing nor Baochai thought about "eating alone".
Of course, etiquette and law are also fair, and full respect will be given to the head wife in terms of property, inheritance rights, and status.
But now a princess has come ((in Baochai’s eyes)).
The princess represents the Tian family, and most of the time she is self-centered. If she seeks the position of the first wife, both the first wife and the mistress are at risk of being eliminated.
Therefore, in February of the fifteenth year of Chongping, whether Qin and Xue wanted to admit it or not, the appearance of Princess Xianning set the stage for the circle of
While the budding Rong Ning Mansion brought a bright spring breeze, it also gradually created a common enemy between Qin and Xue, "sisters as Shura who guard against their insults".
Sister Feng changed the subject, turned to look at Qin Keqing, and said, "Brother Heng, don't worry. When did Brother Heng make you worry? He came back from several expeditions smoothly."
Qin Keqing nodded, chuckled, turned to look at Baozhu, and said: "Tell Aunt Cai to divide the silk given by the palace among several girls and wives. The weather is getting warmer, so it's easy to share. Wearing clothes."
"The treasure is back." Sister Feng quickly called the treasure, looked at Qin Keqing, and said with a chuckle: "The palace also sent a lot of brocade to the house. It is enough to make clothes for them. How can there be rewards and prices?"
Qin Keqing smiled sweetly and said: "There is no shortage of these at home, and there are many Su Jin gifts from time to time."
Sister Feng said with a smile: "Yes, our family is not short of anything. Even if the palace gives them rewards, it is honor and respectability after all. Well, I heard that they are high-quality silks presented to the palace by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. I want to put them outside. Money can’t buy it either.”
Ever since Jia Heng continuously inspected the Jia Mansion's evil servants like the Lai family and contributed to the government's shortfall, the financial situation of the Rongguo Mansion has undoubtedly become much better. Not only does it now have the financial resources to jointly repair the garden, but even Sister Feng's usual housekeeping has a lot less worry.
When Qin Keqing heard this, he didn't insist anymore, and instead ordered Baozhu: "Six horses were sent to the fourth girl's house to cut two sets of clothes for her. At her age, her size changes every day."
Immediately, he added: "Take four more horses to make up ten horses and let Miss Xiuyan cut two sets of clothes."
Xing Xiuyan and Yingchun lived together, but the brocade silk was not sent to Yingchun's house, but to Xichun's house, which naturally had a deeper meaning.
Sister Feng narrowed her eyes and knew the whole story. She was guarding against her mother-in-law, but she couldn't point it out. Instead, she smiled and said, "Sister Xiuyan looks quite quiet, and I like her character too."
Tanchun thought of the girl who spoke softly and smiled quietly, and said, "Sister Xiuyan, I don't usually see her being naughty."
Xing Xiuyan has a quiet temperament and doesn't usually go to Jia Mu's Rongqing Hall.
Daiyu Yanyan frowned and said softly: "She often goes to Master Miaoyu and the fourth sister. Last time, I talked to the second sister several times when I was there."
In addition to Daiyu playing around with Xiangyun and Tanchun, the three of them often visited Yingchun and Baochai courtyards to chat and relieve their boredom. Sometimes Daiyu met Xiuyan and talked about poetry for a while.
Qin Keqing nodded and said softly: "She comes to Miaoyu to talk more about Zen. She is a very simple and generous girl."
I really can't understand my husband. There are so many girls in the house with different temperaments. She no longer stops her and insists that the family not touch her. She is looking for some kind of princess... It's scary.
She's fine, but Sister Xue may be even more uneasy thinking about it.
While thinking about it, he couldn't help but glance at Baochai, only to see him looking at Daiyu and Tanchun with a smile.
While Qin Keqing and Sister Feng were leading the crowd of gold hairpins and laughing happily, the courtyard where Miaoyu lived was deserted. Only the sound of wooden fish knocking could be heard clearly in the courtyard shrouded in the quiet night.
"Dong dong l..."
Under the Buddhist niche, Miaoyu is dressed in a moon-white monk's robe, kneeling on a futon. The girl has a slender figure. She is not wearing a monk's hat. Her hair is like a waterfall, and her hair is not tied into a bun. Instead, it hangs down on her waist. She is holding a slender jade hand. Holding a wooden hammer, he chanted some words.
The silver-white moonlight on the left passed through the carved ornate window, and reflected with the fiery red candlelight on the tall candlestick on the right, dividing a beautiful face with willow eyebrows and starry eyes, without makeup, into two, one white and one white. red.
The left side is soft and holy, and the right side is bright and beautiful. There is a vague meaning that is somewhat blended into one and clearly defined - the Bodhisattva with a majestic appearance and the charming succubus.
"Miss." At this time, the little girl Susu called out and whispered: "An angel came to the palace in the front yard, saying that Uncle Heng has arrived in Luoyang."
The wooden fish in Miaoyu's hand paused, and the sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures stopped. When she turned her head to look at Susu, she straightened her small nose and slightly pursed her lips. The shadows of the night were eroding, and the moonlight and candlelight were gone. There is a pair of bright and shining eyes with a complicated expression.
Since the Gongling case in Zhongshun Prince's Mansion, he has become busier and busier, and he doesn't come here often. She is a monk, so it's hard to find her. I learned from Xichun the day before yesterday that he led troops to go on an expedition, but unexpectedly, Didn't even come to say goodbye.
Miaoyu pursed her lips and sighed quietly in her heart.
At this moment, a delicate voice came from outside, "Is Sister Miaoyu in there?" While speaking, an embroidered shoe crossed the threshold. Xichun gave the lantern he was carrying to the maid and entered the painting with Xing Xiuyan. In the room, he walked around the screen, looked at Miaoyu kneeling on the futon, and asked with concern: "Has sister Miaoyu eaten the vegetarian meal?"
Miaoyu stood up and looked at the two of them. Her beautiful face looked a little gentler. She met Xing Xiuyan's eyes for a moment and asked, "Why do you two have so much free time today?"
Xing Xiuyan said softly: "After dinner, I read in the room for a while. I was a little bored, so I came over to look for my fourth sister to watch her paint."
In the past few days, apart from playing chess with her in the Yingchun courtyard, Xing Xiuyan often came over to talk to Xichun and Miaoyu, and also chatted with Qin Keqing to relieve her boredom.
The latter actually had Xing's instigation.
After Jia She and Jia Lian were exiled, Jia Zheng was promoted to General Affairs Bureau and General Affairs Bureau. Xing's mentality gradually changed. He heard that his niece Xiuyan had a good relationship with Miaoyu and Xichun of Dongfu. Just let her come over and move around more.
Xichun entered the room and said, "An angel came to the palace and said that Brother Heng has arrived in Luoyang. Did my sister know?
Then, he looked at Muyu aside and asked curiously: "Sister Miaoyu is chanting?" This little loli gradually got used to calling Miaoyu her sister.
"I had nothing to do after dinner, so I read the Infinite Life Sutra." Miaoyu said softly, inviting the two of them to sit down, then turned around and gave them tea.
In fact, the sisters from Rongning and Ningfu can be roughly divided into small circles. These circles are not clearly defined, have no intersections, and also have overlaps.
Miao, Xiu and Xi Sanchai, either because of their quiet and comfortable temperament, or because they are cold and arrogant, or because they are secluded and solitary, have more close contacts than the other sisters. They are close friends in the same circle. Xing Xiuyan sat on the embroidered pier, took the tea cup from Miaoyu with both hands, and said thank you. The girl was wearing a blue-white dress with folded plum blossoms. She had curved eyebrows and plump cheeks, and a calm expression. Under her indigo brows, her eyes were as clear and bright as crystal. She asked softly: "The Sutra of Infinite Life is mostly recited for blessings. I wonder if my sister is there?" Who do you pray for?"
Although they are half-teachers, they are of the same age and usually treat each other as sisters, and they can also make some jokes.
Miaoyu paused with the tea cup in her hand and said softly: "No one has done anything. I just feel it in my heart and recite it."
Xichun took a sip from the tea cup, raised her beautiful face, and said abruptly: "Monks don't lie."
Miaoyu: "..."
Xichun put down the tea cup, and her Qingshuang face seemed to have regained some of the liveliness of a girl of this age, but the smile was still a little shallow.
Xing Xiuyan also chuckled, her eyebrows curved, elegant and natural.
When she reunited with Master Miaoyu in her hometown this time, it was obvious that she was more cheerful and open-minded than before. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been deliberately arrogant.
Of course, monks...stop there.
Miaoyu didn't delve into it, she replied, changed the topic, and asked: "Are you painting these days?"
"I have nothing to do. I am painting flowers, birds, insects, fish and so on. I want to paint some buildings or something, but there is no good scenery."
Yang, did sister ever know?
Then, he looked at Muyu aside and asked curiously: "Sister Miaoyu is chanting?" This little loli gradually got used to calling Miaoyu her sister.
"I had nothing to do after dinner, so I read the Infinite Life Sutra." Miaoyu said softly, inviting the two of them to sit down, then turned around and gave them tea.
In fact, the sisters from Rongning and Ningfu can be roughly divided into small circles. These circles are not clearly defined, have no intersections, and also have overlaps.
However, Miao, Xiu and Xi Sanchai may be quiet and comfortable in temperament, or may be cold and arrogant, or may be secluded and solitary, so they have more intimate interactions with each other than the other sisters.
It is called a close friend in the same circle. Xing Xiuyan sat on the embroidered pier, took the tea cup from Miaoyu with both hands, and said thank you. The girl was wearing a blue-white dress with folded plum blossoms. She had curved eyebrows and plump cheeks, and a calm expression. Under her indigo brows, her eyes were as clear and bright as crystal. She asked softly: "The Sutra of Infinite Life is mostly recited for blessings. I wonder if my sister is there?" Who do you pray for?"
Although they are half-teachers, they are almost the same age and usually treat each other as sisters, and they can also make some jokes.
Miaoyu paused with the tea cup in her hand and said softly: "No one has done anything. I just feel it in my heart and recite it."
Xichun took a sip from the teacup, raised her beautiful face, and said abruptly: "Monks don't lie."
Miaoyu: "..."

"I have nothing to do. I am painting flowers, birds, insects, fish and so on. I want to paint some buildings or something, but there is no good scenery."
Now, apart from Jia Heng who is far away in Luoyang, the whole family of the Jia family is looking at the garden that is being built.
Miaoyu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said, "I saw that the garden has been renovated and covers a vast area."
Xichun said: "Sister, didn't you see the drawing? It's a very big garden. By the way, I heard from Sister Ping'er that Brother Heng specially ordered Sister-in-law Feng to leave a nunnery for Sister Miaoyu to practice."
Miaoyu: "..."
Build a nunnery, or set it aside specifically for her?
I don’t know why, but I suddenly thought of a word... Golden House
Hidden beauty?
Thinking of this, Miaoyu's heart skipped a beat, and a faint blush quietly appeared on her cold face with icy skin. She lowered her head and tried to regain her composure, letting out a faint sigh in her heart.
Maybe that day, when he accompanied her to remember his mother, he gradually felt as if his heart was empty. When he closed his eyes, his shadow was all before his eyes.
But he happened to be... hot and cold. He came here every day before, but he hasn't been seen in the past few days. Well, maybe he is too busy.
In fact, in the aristocratic families where the bells are ringing and the food is eaten, family temples and nunneries are often built in order to facilitate the ashram.
Therefore...it is also possible that it was reserved for Mrs. Wang.
However, Jia Heng really wanted to give Miaoyu a home...a place to settle down. Several people were talking.
"Girl, I came here and said that I have sent two pieces of silk from the palace to the room to cut clothes for you." At this moment, Ru Hua came from outside, said happily, and turned to look at Xiu who was aside. Yan smiled and said: "Miss Xiuyan also has it, but she put it in the fourth girl's room."
Xing Xiuyan looked a little embarrassed and said softly: "I sent a few horses last time, but I haven't used up the clothes yet."
Not long ago, the weather was warm, and all the sisters were wearing colorful spring clothes. She was the only one who was still wearing a winter jacket, and the clothes were not old. When Sister-in-law Heng saw it, she had her clothes tailor-made, and she also ordered her direct descendants to send them to her. I bought two pieces of brocade and put them in my second sister's room.
Xichun turned to look at the embarrassed girl opposite, and said softly: "Sister-in-law feels sorry for my sister, so I just keep it. Besides, those few brocade horses were not in my sister's hands."
Miaoyu glanced at Xichun, and a flash of joy flashed in her heart.
Different from the original work, this girl who rarely felt family affection and care since she was a child is now the eldest lady of Dongfu. Jia Heng regards her as a treasure, and Qin Keqing greets her. Her original cold-hearted appearance gradually changes. With heat.
Xing Xiuyan nodded and said softly, "I'll go over and thank my sister-in-law later."
...
...
Just as the city of Shenjing was worried about Jia Heng's report about Luoyang, the city of Luoyang was also experiencing a new day as the Jade Rabbit sets in the west and the Golden Crow rises in the east.
The morning light fell in the courtyard. Jia Heng, accompanied by the guards of Jinyi Mansion, washed his face. He had just sat down at the small table and was about to have breakfast when he suddenly heard movement in the courtyard.
"Your Highness, are you back?" Jia Heng looked at the tall girl who had changed into Feiyu clothes and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet." Princess Xianning said softly and quickly came closer.
While Jia Heng ordered Xia Houying to get another basin of water for Princess Xianning to clean her hands, Jia Heng picked up a pair of chopsticks and said with a chuckle: "Your Highness is still worried about me leaving alone?"
Princess Xianning cleaned her hands, wiped them with a towel, and said with a crooked eyebrow, "No, I just wanted to not delay the army's departure."
In fact, she just wanted to have breakfast with her husband.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Your Highness, please be patient. We will go to the Yamen later to make arrangements for the transportation of military supplies. Then we will leave and stop at Sishui to make some arrangements."
Princess Xianning said "Yes" and picked up the chopsticks to use the food.
After breakfast, the two of them came to the front office hall. At this moment, a group of generals from the Guo Yong camp had gathered in the hall, waiting for them.
Jia Heng glanced at the generals of Guoyong camp and said in a deep voice: "Guerrilla general Yu Fangguo led three thousand cavalry in Luoyang to meet the follow-up infantry, and the remaining cavalry set off with the whole army."
"I will obey your orders." Yu Fangguo bowed his hands and said yes.
Jia Heng looked at Cai Quan and ordered: "Cai Guerrilla led three thousand cavalry as the vanguard and sent out sentry cavalry and scouts."
Cai Quan cupped his hands and said, "I will obey your orders."
Jia Heng turned to look at the officials of the Henan Prefecture headed by Meng Jinwen, and said: "Meng Prefecture Yin, this time I ask you to use Henan guards to guard Luoyang City and transport grain and socks. In addition, the Korean government will organize a group of military doctors, Herbal medicines are used to treat wounded soldiers, and Henan Prefecture must provide assistance."
Meng Jinwen cupped his hands and said, "I obey your orders."
"Commander, the troops and horses have been assembled and ready to go at any time." Just when Jia Heng issued the military order, Liu Jixian, a member of the Qianhu Family in Jinyi, entered the official hall with his embroidered spring knife in hand, cupping his fists and saying.
Jia Heng nodded, then glanced at the faces of the generals, Xia Houying, and Princess Xianning, and said solemnly: "The army is setting off."
As a result, more than 20,000 cavalrymen from the Beijing camp, who were ready to go, marched towards Sishui Pass in a mighty manner.
