Ningguo Mansion, the back room of the study
With the arrival of Zhen Xi, the atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became weird.
Ziyu, how could this be possible? The fourth sister is here.
Seeing this, Zhen Qing, after being quiet for a moment, suddenly took Zhen Xi's bare hand, hugged her in her arms almost like a child, and tried to block Zhen Xi's ears.
Zhen Xi's height has reached Zhen Qing's chin. At this moment, Yanli's cheek is pressed against Zhen Qing's clothes, and she is overwhelmed by the fragrant and sweet fragrance of Nai.
Zhen Qing held Zhen Xi's hand with one hand and whispered: "Fourth sister, please don't misunderstand. Your elder brother Heng and your second sister are talking about business."
Zhen Xi's bright eyes flashed under her beautiful eyebrows. She felt a little out of breath and said, "Sister, you...let me go."
"Fourth sister, please stop shouting." Zhen Qing said in a low voice with a slightly red face.
Zhen Xi responded softly: "Yeah."
Zhen Qing loosened her arms slightly, looked into Zhen Xi's smart and bright eyes, and said, "Sister, things are not what you think."
"Eldest sister, second sister and brother Heng... what on earth are you doing?" After Zhen Xi was let go by Zhen Qing, her face was as big as a palm, her cheeks were flushed, her mind was trembling, and even her voice was trembling.
I don’t know why, but my body is hot and my heartbeat is pounding, as if it’s about to jump out of my throat.
Aren't the eldest sister and the second sister talking about business with Brother Heng? Why did Brother Heng seem to be hugging his second sister and bullying him just now?
Zhen Qing calmed down, hugged her fourth sister's hand, and explained: "Xi'er, don't misunderstand, your brother Heng is here, here..."
After a long time, I still don’t know how to teach my children.
She secretly thought that it was a good thing she didn't get entangled with that bastard just now, otherwise she would never be able to hold her head up in front of her fourth sister.
"Sister, what's going on? Brother Heng, why is he holding the second sister?" Zhen Xi said in a trembling voice.
"Not even your second sister, she has never had a boy since she married your second brother-in-law, so I asked your brother Heng to help." Zhen Qing was also driven into panic at this time and explained.
Jia Heng, Zhen Xue: "..."
Jia Heng was thinking about another thing for a moment. Xiaoxiao was clearly outside watching, so why didn't he stop Zhen Xi?
And just when the embarrassing sisters in the house were having an embarrassing incident, a slim and pretty figure suddenly flashed past the moon door with green eaves and white walls, the only way to the study, and it was Chen Xiao.
Under the bright forehead of the girl, the cold jade face seemed to be shrouded in frost. Under the willow-shaped eyebrows, she looked at the study window in the distance, her clear eyes were incomprehensible.
It's time to give my cousin some warning, otherwise, if he continues to hang out with the two demon concubines, he will delay the country's plans sooner or later.
Let Zhen Xi discover the adultery between him and the demon concubine, and hopefully wake him up.
Humph, leave me alone? Lookout?
Zhen Qing hugged Zhen Xi and said softly: "Fourth sister, you also know that your second sister has suffered a lot from her husband's family. Just like our mother, who was quite popular in the family without your brother Bao, She suffered some gossip, so I asked your brother Heng to help her."
Mrs. Gan first gave birth to two daughters for Zhen Yingjia, Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue. Mrs. Zhen also gave Mrs. Gan a lot of scorn back then. Later, Mrs. Gan got better with Zhen Baoyu.
When Zhen Xi heard this, her palm-sized face turned as red as a cloud, her bright eyes filled with mist, and she couldn't help but said, "But how come... we're looking for Brother Heng?"
Brother Heng didn't let her...
The girl was obviously as innocent as a blank sheet of paper. In other words, in the Zhen family's family education, they did not let their grandmother teach them before they got married, and even strictly guarded against it.
And this is also a common problem in big family education. The original reason for the inspection of the Grand View Garden in the Red Mansion was the embroidered spring bag.
"This is not your brother Heng. He is a military general. He is a brave champion in the three armies. I guess his physique is also excellent." Zhen Qing also felt ashamed as she spoke. Her face without makeup was as red as clouds, like a peach. The pistils, and the charming and pure eyebrows are in one, showing panic.
Anyway, his physique is excellent.
Jia Heng: "???"
"Ziyu, put...let me down." At that time, Zhen Xue prayed in Jia Heng's ear with her hair disheveled, her voice soft and trembling, almost crying.
Cheng Huan's appearance was discovered by her cousin. How will she meet people in the future? There really is no need to live anymore.
Jia Heng responded softly, placed the shy beauty on the bed, took a silk quilt and covered it with a round, crispy texture, accompanied by a strange sound.
When Zhen Xi heard Zhen Xue's melodious cry, she couldn't help but turn her head and glance secretly. Suddenly, a visually shocking scene jumped into her eyes. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt her body softening, and she quickly hugged Zhen. Qing's waist was hanging on Zhen Qing like a koala, and she whispered: "Sister..."
After seeing something she shouldn't have seen, she won't get a needle eye.
At this moment, Zhen Qing quickly hugged Zhen Xi, patted the girl's back gently, and said comfortingly: "It's nothing."
He glared at Jia Heng and cursed this bastard secretly, not knowing how to take it.
Zhen Qing comforted her softly: "Fourth sister, you can't tell anyone what happened today, otherwise your second sister will be really embarrassed. Do you understand?"
Zhen Xi's delicate body was as hot as fire at the moment, but after hearing what her sister said was scary, she turned out to be a kind-hearted little girl, so she quickly responded calmly.
"You can't talk to your third sister, do you hear me?" Zhen Qingyurong solemnly warned in a low voice: "I know that you and your third sister are usually very close, but these are secrets and cannot be told to her."
Her third sister, Bingxue, is smart and thoughtful. If she talks about it again from Xi'er's mouth, she might be able to realize that she is just like Xue'er.
Zhen Xi's pink face was flushed, and her voice was trembling as she said, "Sister, I...I know, I won't tell Third Sister."
Zhen Qingming's eyes turned slightly, she thought about it, and said softly: "Xi'er, you will live with your brother Heng for the rest of your life. Don't be shy. Go see your brother Heng and talk to him."
"Sister, don't..." Zhen Xi was startled when she heard this and just grabbed Zhen Qing's clothes.
She was a little afraid that Brother Heng would bully her.
Zhen Qing said, holding Zhen Xi's hand towards the bed and sitting down.
At this moment, Jia Hengzheng was straightening his clothes. He looked at Zhen Qing and asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
Zhen Qing frowned, with a look of shame and annoyance in her beautiful eyes, and said, "The good thing you did scared the fourth sister, so you hugged her and coaxed her."
Jia Heng: "..."
You, the elder sister, are you really going to push your own sister into a pit of fire?
However, before he could think about it, he saw that Zhen Qing had already taken Zhen Xi's hand and pushed it into his arms. He hadn't even finished tidying up his clothes.
The young-looking girl suddenly sat in Jia Heng's arms, as if she had been stung by a wasp. Just when she was about to stand up, she was gently hugged by two arms. When she was about to scream, Zhen Qing covered her lips. .
"Sister Xi'er, I won't harm you. You and your brother Heng will live together for the rest of your life. Let's take this opportunity to talk." Zhen Qing said, looking at Jia Heng coldly, and said in a clear voice: "Fourth sister is a little bit If you are timid, talk to her properly."
Isn't this bastard usually very talkative? Now he is mute.
Zhen Xi didn't dare to move, her little face looked nervous, and she said in a trembling voice: "Sister, I...I'm a little scared."
Will Brother Heng also bully her? She...she's going to die.
The girl's inner lake suddenly reflected the scene she had just seen.
At this moment, Zhen Xue got up and simply arranged her clothes, but her head was lowered, too shy to take care of herself.
"Sister Xi'er, what are you afraid of?" Jia Heng gently hugged Zhen Xi and said softly: "I won't eat you."
Fortunately, it was Zhen Xi who came over, and in the case of Daiyu, she probably said, "If you want to bleat my sheep, I'm afraid you won't be able to anymore."
Zhen Xi's face turned red and she said hurriedly: "Brother Heng, I won't talk nonsense. My second sister is so good to me. I won't tell anyone. I will rot in my stomach what I saw today. No, I don't have anything." Saw it."
This girl who is a few months older than Daiyu is just innocent, not stupid. Except for the sudden incident at the beginning, she couldn't figure it out for a while. As time passed, she also understood that Brother Heng and the two princesses and sisters were in front of her. , the relationship is extraordinary.
Otherwise, no matter how much you help give birth to a child, you can't have your eldest sister watching from the sidelines.
And this kind of thing is really not easy to spread.
Jia Heng looked at the girl whose features resembled Zhen Xue's and had a spirit as bright as a stream. He chuckled and said, "You are as big as a brat."
Zhen Xi: "..."
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and pinched Zhen Xi's smooth and round chin. Although his eyes were not evil and evil, but there was also a bit of teasing smile, he deliberately asked: "But this is a secret involving your second sister and your eldest sister's reputation. Then How should I trust Xi'er?"
"Brother Heng, I can swear this." Zhen Xi felt the young man's hand reach up, his delicate body trembling slightly, and he quickly said: "If I leak even half a sentence, I will be beaten..."
Jia Heng reached out and covered Zhen Xi's mouth and said, "You're so good, what are you swearing to do?"
Zhen Xi's cheeks were as red as blood right now, extending all the way to her earlobes, dripping with radiance.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Old Mrs. Zhen said that day that you would follow me from now on. I actually want to know what you really think."
Zhen Qing was speechless for a while, and said coldly: "Now that things have happened, do you think the fourth sister can still marry someone else?"
This man is frivolous towards his fourth sister, and he still asks what he thinks?
When Zhen Xi was reminded by Jia Heng, she suddenly remembered that day. The young man suddenly asked himself. After a moment of silence, he murmured: "I, I listen... listen to the old lady, eh~"
However, a wave of warmth and softness hit her, and the girl's bright, watery eyes quickly lowered her head. Her petite and exquisite figure trembled slightly, and before long, she collapsed into a ball of mud in Jia Heng's arms.
Jia Heng lowered his eyes and looked at the good girl who had closed her eyes in shame and her lips were moist. Her eyes flickered and she was calm.
In fact, this was due to Zhen Xi's physical shyness. They only got along for a short time, and he didn't think that Zhen Xi, a good girl, would have any unforgettable admiration for him.
Maybe, there might be some good feelings?
Jia Heng thought for a while and whispered: "Xi'er, you can stay here from now on and don't go back."
There is nothing we can do now. If Zhen Xi is put back, there is a risk that the news will leak out. It will be safe to stay with him for a while.
Zhen Qing stared at Jia Heng with her cold and watery phoenix eyes, and whispered: "It doesn't matter if sister Xi'er stays, it will fulfill the old lady's last wish."
"Xi'er is still young, so she should be raised by my side first and be a companion with Sister Lin." With just one look, Jia Heng could see Zhen Qing's thoughts and said, "If the Zhen family asks, Just say... you and Xue'er convinced me."
Qingwen is basically useless, so she can only be raised by Zhen Xi, who can also help solve a problem.
Zhen Xue also calmed down a bit, pursed her pink lips, and said softly: "This is what everyone in the family means. This is the old lady's last wish. Sister Xi'er will follow you from now on, so you have to treat her well."
In this way, by chance, his sister Xi'er, who looked a bit like him in appearance and character, came to be with him. After returning to Beijing, even if it was inconvenient to come and go, he could stay with him on her behalf.
And just now she was discovered by Xi'er, so perhaps her destiny should be like this.
Jia Heng looked at the shy Zhen Xi and said warmly: "Sister Xi'er, if you don't object, you can stay in the house temporarily from now on."
Keep it by your side, cultivate your feelings, and at least be strict with your words.
At this time, Zhen Xi did not respond, but she did not know whether it was shyness or fear. She shrank her head in Jia Heng's arms, perhaps in acquiescence.
Jia Heng gently let go of Zhen Xi, raised his eyes to look at Zhen Qing, and said, "Help me clean up. Let's go have lunch later."
Who knows, who else will come over later? After something like this happened, he just wanted to be quiet now.
Jia Heng thought like this and said warmly: "You sisters, please talk, I'll go out first."
Presumably, Zhen Qing also wants to comfort Zhen Xi.
Zhen Qing nodded, and after watching Jia Heng leave, she took Zhen Xi's bare hand, looked at the pretty girl, and said, "Sister Xi'er, your elder brother Heng also kissed you just now. From now on, Your brother Heng is your husband, you have to listen to him."
Zhen Xi listened to Zhen Qing's instructions, her jade cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and she said "hmm" as loud as a mosquito. She opened her eyes, looked at Zhen Qing with her smart and crystal eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, you guys Just now……"
"Your second sister and I also have difficulties. We can't explain it in a few words. If you want to know the reason, just ask your brother Heng." Zhen Qing gently rubbed Zhen Xi's bangs and sighed: "Sister Xi'er, after the old lady left, the family has become dilapidated. Everything depends on our sisters."
In fact, she had the means to deal with this simple and kind-hearted sister, but just now she had a rare opportunity for him to accept Xi'er.
Hearing this, Zhen Xi felt a little heavy in her heart and whispered: "Third Sister, she said before that life at home will be difficult in the future."
During the days when Mrs. Zhen was in mourning, Zhen Lan looked at the officials from Liangjiang who came to express their condolences, and told Zhen Xi privately that if she waits for another year, the Zhen family, which has a bustling family and a fleet of carriages and horses, will be destroyed. Become a sparse person, avoid like snakes and scorpions.
"What happened today, if your third sister asks about it in the future, you cannot tell your third sister even a single word." Zhen Qing's beautiful eyes flickered as she warned.
If we go by what that bastard said, once the father's thunderous wrath descends and his father is imprisoned, the third sister's marriage will probably have twists and turns, and then the third sister may not be able to accompany him.
She didn't believe that they four sisters could not compete with Xianning?
As for her father, after the crime happened at home, she and her sister tried to find ways to save him. He was still there, and everything was still there.
Deep in the heart of the princess, the two younger cousins are completely expendable and can be used as tools to deeply bind Jia Heng and herself.
Because Zhen Qing is ten years older than Zhen Lan, and apart from holding Zhen Lan and playing with Zhen Xi for a few years when they were little, they actually don't have a deep relationship with her.
Moreover, the status of such yellow-haired girls in Jia Heng's heart will be very limited in the future, and they will not replace himself. They are just substitutes for the two sisters and tools for their favor.
He holds the Jiangnan, Jiangbei and Beijing camps. If anything changes in the future, that bastard will definitely help her become the queen.
It would be good for the prince to rule from the side, and she and he would take charge of the affairs of the country and revitalize the Han Dynasty.
Zhen Xi didn't know that her eldest sister was trying to bind Qingxue Lanxi to one person, so she promised: "Eldest sister, I won't tell the third sister."
She will live in Ningguo Mansion from now on, and it will be difficult to see her third sister.
But he said that Jia Heng left the study and was about to wash his hands. He raised his eyes and looked at the moon door. The slim and beautiful girl was standing with her hands clasped in her hands. Her clear eyes under the willow leaves' thin eyebrows had a faint look.
Jia Hengxing came closer, sighed softly, and said, "What are you doing?"
Sure enough, it was Xiaoxiao who did it. He was really good at looking and clearly meant to warn him.
Chen Xiao said indifferently: "I can't always be by your side. After returning to Beijing, not every time I can be a blessing in disguise and turn danger into safety."
After hearing this, Jia Heng was distracted by another matter and asked, "Are you going to leave after returning to Beijing?"
Chen Xiao said: "I thought about it. If I stay with you back in Beijing, my identity will be exposed easily."
After returning to Beijing, I had to find a way to help him keep an eye on Chen Yuan.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then gently stretched out his hand, naturally took the girl's hand, and said warmly: "You can't be a cook in Ningguo Mansion and help me in normal times."
Previously, she was still worried that if Chen Xiao saw the emperor, he would be unable to suppress his hatred and would want to leave without wanting to return to the capital.
Chen Xiao shook his head and said: "I think you can't hide it for too long. There is no airtight wall in the world. I am like this, and so are you."
Jia Heng: "..."
Xiaoxiao seemed to resent him being with Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue. Once, he used his thumb to make her... Although it was an unintentional mistake, it was a bit too much.
However, Yuan also thought that Xiaoxiao could help him secretly, and she did become a bright star around him. However, the two of them didn't seem to have the trust to be honest with each other, so she might not be able to help him.
Or maybe he couldn't express his thoughts on guarding against the emperor to Chen Xiaoyan, because he still didn't trust Xiaoxiao enough.
"Actually, it doesn't matter even if he knows your true identity. How about leading the army as the princess and being my deputy?" Jia Heng suddenly asked.
A warm current surged in Chen Xiao's heart, but he said, "That way he will feel guilty as a thief, and you will be suspected faster."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Let's not talk about this for now. We will talk about it when your aunt comes."
Chen Xiao nodded. Suddenly, the girl remembered something and felt the hand held by Jia Heng. She frowned and asked, "Have you washed your hands?"
Jia Heng was startled for a moment and said softly: "I was planning to take a shower. What's wrong?"
Previously, the snow water had been wiped with a handkerchief.
Chen Xiao quickly broke away from Jia Heng's hand. At this moment, he smelled the breath on Jia Heng's body and said angrily: "Wash your hands. I have to eat later."
Just now, she didn't know if it was because of habit, but she forgot about it.
