Ningguo Mansion
Jia Heng talked to Baochai for a while, soothed the girl's depressed mood, gently took a soft and tender hand, and said warmly: "Sister, just trust me."
Baochai also suppressed the complex thoughts that surged in her heart, turned around, and said softly: "Brother Heng, you should be busy first, I can't disturb Brother Heng."
Jia Heng smiled and said in a clear voice: "Sister Xue is just sitting aside and watching. Just wait until I finish writing the memorial and then talk to my sister."
Baochai nodded her head and said "hmm", moved the embroidered pier aside, sat down, picked up the tea cup, and looked at the young man in the straight green shirt with leisurely eyes.
Under the illumination of the lantern and candlelight on the high desk, the young man's temperament is undoubtedly much gentler. Under the resolute eyebrows, a pair of black and white eyes are shining brightly, as if they contain a sharp sword, and he is writing with concentration. After a while, Baochai's eyes are attracted, Actually a little crazy.
Men are visual creatures, and so are women.
Jia Heng sat upright, holding a brush and began to write the memorial attentively. It didn't take long for him to finish writing the memorial and wait for the ink to dry.
After getting up, she came to Baochai's side again. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pinch the pink cheeks of Baochai who was a little distracted. She felt that it felt soft and smooth, as if the collagen on her face was about to squeeze out water. .
But this move caused Baochai to change his mind, his almond-shaped eyes sparkled, he glared in anger, and said shyly: "Brother Heng, don't make trouble..."
As for Baochai, who is "moving even if she is ruthless", the playfulness and cuteness flowing between her eyebrows undoubtedly made Jia Heng's heart skip a beat, and she felt a bit different from the usual surprise.
Jia Heng sat down next to Baochai, hugged the plump and beautiful lady, smiled softly, and said: "Tomorrow I will go to Jinyi Mansion to ask questions, and the day after tomorrow I will lead the men of the clan to worship their ancestors, and the day after tomorrow I will go to It’s time to stay at the military aircraft station.”
Baochai lightly opened her pink lips, and said softly: "Brother Heng just came back, why are you so busy?"
Others are envious of him for becoming a first-class uncle in a commoner's clothing, but how do others know about the achievements he has made and the things he has done?
"I'm a little busy. My sister comes to see me more often when she has free time." Jia Heng took Baochai's shoulder and said softly: "Sister, I'm a little tired now. Let me take a look at my sister's golden lock."
"Brother Heng..." Hearing this, Baochai was filled with shyness, her snowy face turned slightly red, she turned around and cursed in her mouth. Apart from being embarrassed and annoyed, she felt extremely sweet for the boy's love in her heart.
The powerful and world-famous Han Yongningbo was usually majestic and majestic, but who would have known that when he was tired of being with her, he would always look at her... golden locks, leaning on them, Like a little child.
The contrast between being abstinent in front of others and being obsessed with yourself behind the scenes undoubtedly makes the girl's heart throb.
Jia Heng had already inserted one hand into the lapel of Baochai's breast-buttoned clothes. The soft and round golden lock jumped out and was bitten all at once.
After a long time, Baochai's snow-grey cheeks were as white as a begonia, and her face was as red as a red. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and only made a few grunts from her nose from time to time.
............
Not mentioning Jia Heng's unlocking, but saying that on the other side, Sister Feng played mahjong with Qin Keqing for a while, then returned to the small courtyard where she lived, sitting in the side room, with one hand propped up on the small table, looking at her gorgeous jade face. Trance.
When I was there, I felt that the surrounding environment was deserted and deserted. There was only one lamp in the room, and I was alone. Only the curtains swayed gently with the breeze coming from the Xuan window.
Sister Feng's eyes turned and she couldn't help but put her hand into her sleeve, took out a handkerchief, was lost in thought for a moment, and then stuffed it into her sleeve again.
At this time, Ping'er entered the side room with a basin of hot water, looked at Sister Feng, who was "sitting deep and frowning, not knowing whom to hate", and said softly: "Grandma, wash your feet and go to bed early."
Because Jia Heng returned home, Sister Feng returned to live in Rongguo Mansion. She knew that Sister Feng was lonely and Ping'er couldn't sleep in the west courtyard of Ningguo Mansion, so she came with her to relieve her boredom by talking.
Sister Feng responded softly and lowered her head to look at the shoes and socks on her feet. As the socks were gone, a pair of jade feet that looked like lotus roots were exposed to the air. The toes were as slender as new hair.
Amidst the sound of "crashing", I reached into the full
In the copper basin of warm water, she suddenly and for no apparent reason got a jolt. The sides of the young woman's cheeks were as red as rouge, and her eyes were hazy and moist, as if the ice and snow were melting.
When the water is full, it will overflow; when the moon is full, it will be in decline.
Ping'er was making bird's nest porridge for Sister Feng at this time. He clearly didn't notice anything unusual about Sister Feng and said softly: "Uncle Heng is back this time, and the East Mansion is also lively."
Sister Feng's beautiful face paused slightly and sighed: "What day is Dongfu not lively?" As she said that, she seemed to feel uncomfortable and straightened her sitting posture.
Sister Feng's jade face was slightly red, but the candlelight reflected in her phoenix eyes flickered on and off. She stared blankly at the dark night outside the window, and for a moment, a layer of haze filled her heart.
A woman who has had a man is still different from a young girl who has never had a relationship. Sister Feng, who has not had any nourishment in the past six months, has already begun to understand the hardships of Li Wan's night. It will be like this for decades. It's really... ··
Ping'er took away the warm water in the copper basin and poured it out, while Sister Feng picked up a piece of cloth and began to wipe the water stains on her feet. Immediately, she inserted a pair of flawless jade feet into her embroidered shoes and turned to go to bed.
She reached out to put on her clothes, and first untied the gold collar around her neck, and then took off her bra. After a while, Sister Feng was only wearing a middle coat, and under the tube top embroidered with peonies, her beautiful peaks stood tall, proud of the frost.
"Grandma, can I still fall asleep here?" Ping'er Yingying came over and asked curiously.
Sister Feng waved her hand and said, "Ping'er, you can just fall asleep outside. I want to be alone." After saying that, she opened the silk quilt and covered herself with it.
"Okay, grandma." Ping'er responded softly, helped Sister Feng put down the curtains, then looked at the gloomy-looking Sister Feng, and said comfortingly: "Grandma, don't worry too much. Go to bed early. You'll still be there tomorrow. We have to prepare for ancestor worship."
"Yeah." Sister Feng said listlessly, flexed her fingers, yawned, waved her hand to Ping'er, then pulled the quilt and lay on the bed, looking at the night on the curtain with a pair of melancholy red phoenix eyes in the quiet night. .
At that time, the cool summer night breeze was blowing, and the tops of the sycamore trees in the courtyard made a rustling sound. The moonlight was as bright as silver, and it looked like a rainbow. Through the window screen, it suddenly jumped into the hanging curtains of the bed.
Sister Feng was tossing and turning on the bed, baking pancakes, and couldn't fall asleep.
I don’t know how much time has passed. I took out the wooden box from the inside and looked at it dimly in the moonlight. It was clearly a jade pestle that looked like a mushroom. Her beautiful eyebrows were knitted together, and my cheeks were as hot as fire. I closed my eyes.
With one hand, he grabbed the handkerchief that Jia Heng had left behind, and with the handkerchief, he put it into the tube top embroidered with peonies. With the other hand, he closed his eyes slightly and felt his heart beating harder, which seemed harder than before. The feeling of speaking.
Holding the square handkerchief at this moment, it is like the owner of the handkerchief is using a pair of rough and kind hands...
I don't know how long it took, under the moonlight, Sister Feng's beautiful neck was slightly raised, and the two jade feet at the end of the brocade quilt looked like a rabbit out of the cage, and her back was bent like a bow, and then seemed to be swinging, and soon a faint sigh sounded.
After finishing the reward, Sister Feng felt an inexplicable shame welling up in her heart. Guilty gods, thoughts racing.
What on earth was she doing just now? She was actually holding Brother Heng's handkerchief... How could she be so careless?
I don’t know how long it took, but the young woman with Hua Xin in the curtain fell into a deep sleep. ...
The next day, Ningguo Mansion
Jia Heng finished his breakfast and changed into a brand new python suit. Under the escort of the Jinyi Mansion's Jinyi guards, he prepared to go to the Jinyi Mansion Yamen to ask questions.
Because Liu Jixian had already taken office as the new governor of Jinyi Mansion, and the one who followed Jia Heng later was a man named Li.
Just as he was about to leave the flower hall in the front yard, he suddenly saw a young man coming into the flower hall from outside and said, "Uncle, the Dong family uncle from Wucheng Bingma Division and Mr. Fan from Liutiao Hutong are here to visit the uncle."
Today is the third day after Jia Heng returned to Shenjing. Dong Qian and Fan Yi from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division came to visit Jia Heng.
And as time goes by, there will inevitably be generals from the Beijing camp and the old troops of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division coming to visit the great Han Yongningbo.
Jia Heng muttered: "Let them come in."
Not long after, Dong Qian of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division and the Wucheng Soldiers
Fan Yi, the chief secretary of Ma Si, came from outside and saluted Jia Heng.
"I have met Uncle Yongning in my humble position."
Jia Heng had a gentle face, stretched out his hand to support him and said, "Brothers, you don't have to be polite, just sit down." Dong Qian and Fan Yi thanked each other and sat down one after another.
"Sir, are you going out?" Fan Yi asked when he saw Jia Heng wearing a black hat.
"I'm on business in Jinyi Mansion. Is there anything unusual in the Five Cities Army and Horses Department recently?" Jia Heng picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He raised his eyes and asked Fan Yi.
Fan Yi said: "It's not a big deal. When you went to the Central Plains to quell the chaos, everything went smoothly in Beijing."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "That's good. You can be the chief secretary and be more attentive in handling the affairs of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department."
After a previous conversation with the eldest princess of Jinyang, I can actually ignore the affairs of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department for the time being and wait until the next day to make further plans.
Thinking like this, he looked at his cousin Dong Qian attentively and asked softly: "Cousin, what case is the Wucheng Army and Horse Division handling recently?"
Dong Qian said: "Some time ago in central Beijing, there was an investigation into the kidnappers who abducted women and children, and many people were arrested. They also arrested the green-skinned scoundrels who caused trouble in the market. This is a note on related matters."
As he spoke, he handed over a book.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Leave me here, I'll just come back and take a look." Knowing that the two of them still had something to say, he said, "Follow me to the study to talk."
With that said, he led the two of them to the study, came to the desk, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup for them. "Mr. Fan." Jia Heng looked at Fan Yi with questioning eyes and asked in a solemn voice: "How is King Wei doing in Siya recently?"
Fan Yi said: "My lord, I was about to tell you about King Wei's affairs. When my lord left the capital and went to Henan to investigate the rebellion, the King of Wei held several official and private banquets and invited his colleagues from the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities to go there. Many of his colleagues , such as Fa Cao Gao Yinian, Cang Cao Lu Qing, Xicheng Commander Shen Yan, as well as colleagues from the taxation and other branches, all went to the Wei Palace."
Jia Heng's expression remained unchanged, with thoughts in his eyes, and he whispered: "That's not surprising."
The King of Wei is the eldest son of the Queen and is very likely to be established as the crown prince. Therefore, it is normal for some middle and lower-level officials of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division to move closer to the King of Wei.
"My lord often doesn't go to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to ask questions. There are many speculations in the office that your lord will leave the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division soon." Fan Yi hesitated and said softly.
Jia Heng said: "I am now in charge of the capital camp, and also in charge of the Jinyi Mansion. I am responsible for the Five Cities Military and Horse Division... When the time is right, I will recommend the King of Wei to the palace as the deputy envoy of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division."
Although he can maintain his influence on the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, he cannot block the way of King Wei too much, otherwise he will easily be jealous of him. Then he can recommend the King of Wei as the deputy envoy of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, so that the emperor will also Don't worry, King Wei and Queen Song will also be satisfied.
When Fan Yi heard this, he was slightly startled and asked, "Do you want to resign from the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities now?" Jia Heng said, "Not really, but from now on we should focus on preparing troops for the captives and attack the Five Cities. If the affairs of the Military and Horse Department are not good, then there will be too many distractions.”
Shi Ding's son Shi Yi has always wanted to be transferred to the capital as an official. After meeting him, if the person is still reliable, he can take advantage of the opportunity and join the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. In this way, Dong Qian and Shi Yi will be Firmly grasp the defense of the capital.
Even if he wasn't worried about alerting people who were interested, he could even be transferred from the Jia clan in the army.
Fan Yi carefully considered her words and persuaded: "Sir, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division can dispatch troops to suppress the ground in the capital. It is quite convenient to mobilize manpower if there is something normal."
Jia Heng said: "I will not resign from this position for the time being."
Compared with intelligence departments such as Jinyi Mansion and the Beijing camp, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, which is directly in charge of public security in the divine capital city, is undoubtedly the easiest to call upon after an incident.
You can't just use the Emperor's Sword to mobilize the troops in the capital if something happens. This will go against the imperial military's economic system, and political enemies will also take the opportunity to criticize you.
Jia Heng said: "It's better not to pay too much attention to King Wei. If he invites you to a banquet, you can go to the banquet. There is no need to refuse."
It is impossible for the prince to open the palace to observe the government and not allow him to win over people. It is impossible to cultivate cronies. He may even be more cunning and even deliberately send people to gain the prince's trust.
.
Dong Qian said softly: "I sent an invitation to the Prince of Wei earlier, but Mr. Fan didn't go, but I couldn't refuse, so I had to go."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "There is nothing wrong with what my cousin is doing. I will do it first, and then I will transfer my cousin to be the commander of Beicheng."
Compared with Cai Quan's promotion speed, his cousin's promotion speed was much lower. Of course, he never had the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
Dong Qian was shocked and quickly refused: "I have just been promoted to the deputy commander of the Central City in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and my qualifications are still relatively young. It is not too late to wait."
Jia Heng said: "My cousin has made a lot of contributions in the eradication of the Sanhe Gang. Previously, because the time was too short, he could not be promoted hastily. Now it is almost enough, and it will not be too eye-catching."
At this moment, the boy outside called out: "Sir, the uncle of the Shenwu General Feng family has sent me my greetings. He said he wants to visit you."
"Feng Ziying?" Jia Heng paused slightly, looked at Dong Qian and Fan Yi, and said, "I'll go over and take a look."
At this moment, in the flower hall
Under the guidance of the servant, Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian sat on the pear wood chairs on both sides of the small table. The servants had already served them tea.
Liu Xianglian is wearing a warrior uniform with arrow sleeves and a brocade robe, her hair is tied with a blue jade belt, and she wears a sword with a light yellow tassel around her waist. She has a handsome face and sharp sword eyebrows.
Turning to look at Feng Ziying, she whispered, "Brother Feng, it's an unlucky time for us to come here. I heard from the servant at home that Uncle Yong Ning is waiting for guests and will go to the Yamen to ask questions later."
Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Brother Liu, don't worry. I heard that I'm here. No matter how busy I am, I will definitely come to see you."
Although Jia Heng went to Jinyi Mansion today, he was still on vacation. Feng Ziying, or Liu Xianglian behind him, nudged Feng Ziying. He heard that Jia Heng's class teacher had returned to Beijing and wanted to meet Jia Heng.
Sure enough, I heard the greeting voice of the boy outside, "Uncle, come here."
Jia Heng walked into the flower hall at this moment, looked at Feng Ziying, and asked with a smile: "Brother Ziying, why are you so free today, come to me?"
Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian stood up one after another and greeted Jia Heng.
"Brother, your class teacher returned to Beijing. I thought that my brother would have some free time at home, so I came over to see him." Feng Ziying's handsome face showed a broad smile and said, "It's just that my brother's posture seems to be waiting for me later. Going to the Yamen?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I have something to do when I go to the Yamen."
Then, with a calm gaze, he turned to Liu Xianglian and asked, "Who is this?" Liu Xianglian quickly raised his hands in greeting and said, "Liu Xianglian has met Uncle Yongning."
Seeing this, Feng Ziying quickly introduced him to the side and said: "Brother, Brother Liu has always admired my brother's reputation. He has been begging for a long time and wants to meet him. I will bring him here. I hope you can forgive me for being presumptuous." .”
Jia Heng glanced at Liu Xianglian and asked, "Erlang of the Liu family?"
When Liu Xianglian heard this, she was overjoyed and said with a bit of excitement, "Uncle Yongning knows about me?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I heard someone mention it in my ears that Liu Erlang is proficient in martial arts and is kind and righteous."
Liu Xianglian's eyes lit up, she felt her heart agitated, and said: "It's just a shameless name, why should I be mentioned in the eyes of Uncle Yong Ning?"
A military commander said to a city ranger, I have heard of your reputation. This kind of affirmation naturally makes people feel honored, not to mention that Liu Xianglian originally regarded Jia Heng as a prominent figure in the world.
Jia Heng frowned slightly, looked at Liu Xianglian, shook his head and said: "I heard that you are also a son of an official, and you have learned martial arts since you were young. How can you live in the market, sleeping in flowers and willows? Now the barbarians are raging in the north, harming me. Soldiers and civilians, a man is born between heaven and earth. He does not serve the country and is galloping on the battlefield, but he is in the alley of fireworks and willows, doing nothing and wasting his years?"
A military minister of the current dynasty, a world-famous martial artist, had plastic surgery to tone down his appearance, and spoke righteously. If Liu Xianglian achieves something in the future, it will even be recorded in the history books.
When Liu Xianglian heard the loud words of the young man in python suit, she felt the bells and drums in the morning, her heart was shaken, her face turned pale, she bowed her hands and bowed her head because she was ashamed, and said, "Uncle Yongning, although Liu has the heart to serve the country, he has no way."
Jia Heng looked solemn and asked: "The capital camp is recruiting troops, why don't you go and join the army?"
Feng Ziying explained at the side: "Brother, Brother Liu originally had the intention of surrendering to the army, but at that time he didn't know the reason for the generals of the Jingying army, so he had doubts. Later, when he learned about my brother's reputation, he realized that the Jingying army was to protect the country for our great people. Army, so I had the desire to visit."
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Liu Xianglian, and said: "The Beijing camp will replenish its troops after quelling the rebellion in Henan. If Liu Erlang intends to join the army, he can go to the Beijing camp. We still have troops in the escort." .”
There is a saying in "The Good Song" in Dream of Red Mansions, "If you train well, you will not be able to become a strong supporter in the future. Who will forget to live in the Fireworks Lane". Zhiyanzhai posted a spoiler saying "Liu Xianglian did it" "People", it can be seen that when the country was in trouble and the country was in decline, Liu Xianglian, Feng Ziying and others eventually became bandits. Nowadays, it is obvious that the big man will not be as white as a mountain of bones and forget his surname, as the Dream of Red Mansions said, pitiful young master and Hongzhuang, but Liu Xianglian has martial arts, so if he can serve the court, he can be considered successful.
Liu Xianglian's heart was shocked, her eyes were determined, and she cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yongning." He originally wanted to join Uncle Yongning and serve the country.
Jia Heng nodded without saying anything. Instead, he turned to look at Feng Ziying and said, "Ziying, I have something to do later. I will visit General Feng at your house another day."
Feng Ziying said quickly: "Brother, you have official business, so go and do it first."
Jia Heng nodded and said nothing else.
