The night was low, and the bright moon on the winter night was as bright and bright as a jade disk. However, the cold wind howled, and the moonlight seemed a bit cold.
The ancestral residence of King Beijing in Jinling is brightly lit, and Shui Rong is hosting a banquet in honor of Jia Heng today.
Today Zhen Xue dressed up according to Shui Rong's wishes, putting on a sky blue dress, with a shining golden phoenix wing pinned between her lush temples, and an emerald necklace around her neck. On Guan's finger was a sapphire green ring given by Jia Heng, which shone brightly under the light.
Compared with the demure and dignified appearance of a good wife and mother in the past, the beauty's dress at this moment is undoubtedly more girlish.
In fact, Zhen Xue was not long after graduating from college.
Today's food and drinks were all arranged by Zhen Xue, and of course it was convenient for her to use her strategy. After Zhen Qing's teachings, Zhen Xue already knew the secrets of the Jiuqu Yuanyang Pot.
Wang Shuirong of Beijing was pacing back and forth anxiously in the small hall, waiting, and asked the female official beside him: "Go and see if Uncle Yongning is here."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The female officer responded in a low voice and hurried out of the wing, running back and forth six times in just half an hour.
Not long after, Jia Heng followed a nanny to the backyard. It was Shen You's acquaintance. The night was completely dark, except for the bright moon and the constant sound of the wind.
Beijing Wang Shuirong descended the steps to greet him, looked at the young man, his handsome and fair face could not hide the joy, and said: "Ziyu, you are finally here."
Jia Heng bowed his hands and said, "I've kept you waiting for a long time."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries and entered the side room. At this moment, the room was as warm as spring, the fragrance was pleasant, and many candles were lit on the candlesticks above the table.
Zhen Xue was already sitting beside a round table, waiting quietly. When she saw Jia Heng coming over, she stood up, with a strange look on her beautiful face, and called out: "Zi Yu."
Jia Heng nodded, stared at King Beijing, and whispered: "Your Majesty, is the Princess here too?"
Shui Rong chuckled and said: "The princess heard that Zi Yu was here and specially cooked a table of dishes. Zi Yu will try the princess's cooking later. Zi Yu, we are all one family, there is no need to see outsiders."
When Ziyu and the princess are reunited, they will become a family from now on.
Jia Heng did not make many modest remarks. At the greeting of King Beijing, he sat down and chatted casually, mainly talking about the regulations of Fuzhou Shipping School.
King Beijing was really interested in this and kept asking questions, while Zhen Xue on the side was holding a pot and pouring wine.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
The watery handsome face was drunk, and his tongue was already a little knotted, and he said: "I went to Fuzhou to prepare for the establishment of a shipping school. It's a long way there. Xinxin and the princess have no one to take care of them in Jinling. The concubine in Beijing Also thinking about my daughter, Ziyu might as well take the princess back with him when he returns to Beijing this time."
Jia Heng did not agree, but raised his eyes to look at Zhen Xue and asked, "What does the princess mean?"
Zhen Xue put down the wine bottle and said softly: "Your Majesty, my sister is resting in the mansion. I want to spend more time with her. It won't be too late to go back next spring."
Seeing Zhen Xue's polite refusal, there was a hint of displeasure on the water's face. She picked up the wine cup and took a sip, then looked at the young man and said, "Zi Yu, actually I have something to ask of you."
Jia Heng secretly said, pretending to be puzzled, and asked: "Your Majesty, why don't you speak frankly."
Shui Rong first sighed, and then said with a sad face: "Five or six years have passed since I got married to Xue'er, and there are no men under my knees. The princess in the mansion is very worried, and now it has almost become a worry for me."
Jia Heng frowned and asked thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, is there any other reason for this?"
It is said that being able to talk about this is a good thing for everyone.
Shui Rong sighed, drank the wine in the glass, and said, "Maybe there is something wrong with my health. The doctor said that it will be difficult for me to have children."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, and then said with consolation: "Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. You can find more good doctors and treat him well."
As for the scheming Zero, just listen to what they say.
Shui Rong shook his head and said, "The doctor has seen a lot and taken a lot of medicine, but it's all useless. The concubine doesn't know how many hairs she has turned gray because of this."
Jia Heng put down the chopsticks in his hands and said thoughtfully: "If the prince lacks an heir, he can choose a child from the clan to adopt. This does not violate the laws of my Han Dynasty."
The emperor has no heirs, and the ancestral line has changed over time, let alone others? The adopted son still has the right to inherit, and it must be registered with the government to inherit the incense.
Therefore, when Jiaheng mentioned to Daiyu and Chen Xiao about having a child for adoption, they were quite tempted.
Shui Rong shook his head slightly and said: "There is no such suitable disciple in the clan, and the concubine does not agree to inherit this method."
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "The prince is still young and can seek treatment from a doctor. Moreover, the prince can have concubines. In three or two years, there may be good news."
At this time, it was not unusual for the dandy from a wealthy family to like masculine styles. It could even be said to be quite common.
For example, the original work of Red Mansions clearly contains Feng Yuan, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen, Xue Pan, etc., and even Baoyu.
But this matter has no impact on the overall fertility, and King Beijing is no exception. Otherwise, how did Xinxin come about?
King Beijing must have a psychological problem, because King Beijing himself is already very handsome. He was raised by a woman since he was a child. It is not surprising that he is not interested in women. It is even possible to have gender cognitive impairment due to this. .
The secular environment forced King Beijing to marry a wife and have children, so this problem arose.
The water-colored eyes turned to Zhen Xue. At this moment, Zhen Xue's beautiful oval face turned red with embarrassment, and she was a little at a loss.
Shui Rong suddenly turned his gaze to Jia Heng and whispered, "What do Ziyu think of the princess?"
Even though he already knew what Shui Rong was going to do, Jia Heng still looked slightly startled and said after a moment: "Princess, she...what does the prince mean by asking this?"
Shui Rong weighed his words and expressed his plan. He looked at Jia Heng with burning eyes and said, "Zi Yu thinks that the princess is acceptable and can help her give birth to Lin'er."
Jia Heng: "???"
At this moment, Zhen Xue was so ashamed that she buried her head in her chest. After hearing this, she stood up and wanted to leave, but King Beijing grabbed her arm and shouted: "Princess, didn't you agree with me before? What are you doing walking around?"
Jia Heng frowned and said sternly: "The inheritance of the title is related to the national treasure, how can it be given and received privately... The prince is talking drunkenly."
Shui Rong's face paused slightly, and he looked at Jia Heng intently, and whispered: "Zi Yu, I'm not drunk, the princess..."
Jia Heng interrupted Shui Rong's words with an unhappy look on his face, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if you are not feeling well, you can ask a doctor to see you in the future. Don't hide your illness and avoid medical treatment. It would be too shocking to mention this matter now."
Seeing Jia Heng's refusal, Shui Rong opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak. He didn't dare to push for a while, sighed, picked up the wine cup and drank a few sips, feeling a little depressed.
Zhen Xue also took Shui Rong's arm and whispered: "My lord, you are drunk."
Shui Rong pushed Zhen Xue's arm away angrily and said impatiently, "I'm not drunk."
She didn't understand half of the words he told her to dress up before, but what she looked like now clearly didn't suit Zi Yu!
Zhen Xue's face was pale, her expression changed, her teeth bit her lips until white marks appeared, and she said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty."
Although she loved him, it was still a bit unspeakably humiliating to be treated like this by her husband, especially in front of that young man.
Seeing this scene, Jia Heng could only offer some words of comfort and said, "Your Majesty, please invite more imperial doctors to help you take care of yourself recently."
Shui Rong waved his hand and just drank glass after glass of wine.
After a while, Jia Heng looked at Beijing Wang Shuirong, who was already drunk and unconscious, his eyes flickered and he sighed.
Immediately, he came to Zhen Xue, raised his eyes to look at Zhen Xue, and asked in a low voice: "What kind of medicine did you give him, and why did it take effect at this time?"
"It's Mongolian sweat medicine, and there are some..." Zhen Xue paused slightly, bit her lower lip with her teeth, and said softly: "I don't dare to use too much of the medicine prepared by my sister."
Jia Heng looked calm and whispered: "Then I will get him to the bed first."
He was thinking about whether to agree to Shui Rong just now, but who knows what Shui Rong had in mind in the end?
As for whether Zhen Xue's pregnancy would arouse Shui Rong's suspicion, in fact it would not. Xinxin was the daughter that King Beijing gave birth to to stop Youyou's mouth.
So Shui Rong's claim that he has something wrong with his body must be nonsense, just listen to it... the scheming Ling.
With this in mind, Jia Heng carried King Beijing to the inner compartment and placed him on a bed.
Zhen Xue also came over, her face as gentle as water turned red with blush, and she was charming, and she said softly: "Ziyu, I called a female official over."
As he spoke, he called a beautiful female officer, who was sent by Zhen Qing. She was Zhen Qing's confidant. Compared to Zhen Xue's timidity, this female officer was very skillful in her movements and came closer to help Shui Rong take off her clothes.
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Zhen Xue, and whispered: "I'll leave this place to you. When he wakes up, tell me I'm back."
As he said that, he looked at Shui Rong in his sleep, shook his head secretly, and left Beijing Prince's Mansion.
He has no interest in doing anything else, not only because he listened to Xiaoxiao's advice and should not go astray, but also because King Beijing is really pitiful.
But King Beijing and King Chu are still different.
According to Jin Yang, the King of Chu seemed to have some evil intentions, so he did not have much psychological pressure when he was intimate with Zhen Qing in front of the King of Chu.
…
…
Ningguo Mansion
Jia Heng rode his horse back to his home. It was already Xu hour, the night was as cold as water, and the north wind was howling. He had drunk a little wine, but the cold wind blew in his face, which made him feel a little tipsy.
At this point, the matter of King Beijing is completely settled and he will return to Beijing in the next two days.
Jia Heng handed the horse over to the boy and took it into the stable. Immediately, he ordered Qingwen who came out of the front hall to prepare hot water while heading to the study.
Sure enough, the lights in the study were still on, and a slim, quiet figure was projected on the window paper, leaning behind the desk and reading the military book.
With the sound of rushing, Jia Heng entered the study, opened the bead curtain, and sat down next to the small table to sober up.
Chen Xiao put down the book in his hand, turned to look at the young man, and said with joy in his voice: "You're back?"
Jia Heng said softly: "Well, I drank a little. It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Chen Xiao picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it over without saying anything.
Jia Heng took the tea cup and took a sip, then asked with a smile: "Are you waiting for me?"
"When will you go back?" Chen Xiao neither responded nor refuted, but looked at the young man with a pair of eyes as bright as stars and said softly.
Jia Heng took a sip of the fragrant tea and said, "The day after tomorrow, the memorial was delivered a few days ago."
As he said that, he came closer and took the girl's hand. With a serious look in his eyes, he said, "I'll leave the affairs of the south to you first. You can take this."
As he spoke, he took out a heavy token with gold embroidery around it and the words "Zhen Fu Si" written on it.
Chen Xiao touched the token, raised his clear eyes, and asked in surprise: "What is this?"
Jia Heng smiled and said softly: "You can take the official badge of Jinling Jinyi Mansion. I told Liu Jixian that after I return to Beijing, you can call the detectives and chiefs of the Nan Province Zhenfu Division. The princess and Xia Houying will be on guard against evildoers. If anything happens, send me a message to Feige at any time."
When he returns to Beijing this time, Jinyang, Zhen Qing, and Zhen Xue all stay in Jinling. He needs to leave someone behind to protect them, and Xiaoxiao is thoughtful and can take on this responsibility.
Chen Xiao looked at the young man, feeling a little touched. He took the token and put it away solemnly, nodding.
He knew that the person in front of him really trusted him. Yesterday, he originally wanted to give her to him, but he...it was all the fault of the demon concubine of the Zhen family.
Jia Heng stretched out his arms to hug the girl, looked at the girl with a pure face, and said warmly: "Xiaoxiao, I'll leave the matter here in Nan Province to you."
As he spoke, he moved closer to the girl's face and pursed his soft lips.
After a while, Chen Xiaoyu blushed, licked her slightly moist lips, and said angrily: "The smell of alcohol stinks to death."
Jia Heng felt the coolness of the mint, and seemed to be able to see his own shadow in the bright and clear eyes of the girl. He said softly: "I just walked in the door, and I already dislike my man."
As he spoke, he held the young girl's pure face, pursing his lips amid bursts of disgusted hums.
Chen Xiaoqing closed her eyes slightly and reached out to touch Jia Heng's shoulder. Where was the dislike just now?
At this time, Qingwen called Jia Heng to take a bath outside, her urging voice a bit urgent.
Jia Heng fixedly looked at the girl with beautiful face under the orange candlelight, stretched out his hand to gently caress Xiaoxiao's cheek, and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, I'm going to take a bath first. You should also go to bed earlier. You read too much at night. It hurts your eyes.”
"Yes." Chen Xiao nodded, watched the young man leave, stretched out his hand to stroke the token in his hand, his face as clear as snow was lost in thought, and bursts of uncontrollable sweetness surged in his heart.
Those were not the sweet words that the girl was used to seeing when Jia Heng was on base, but the sincere concern.
The next day, the Prince's Mansion in Beijing
A ray of morning light jumped into the side room, and on the bed with curtains around it, a cry of surprise suddenly sounded, which also frightened Zhen Xue, who was huddled inside, to wake up.
King Beijing suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Zhen Xue not far away with horror on his handsome face, and shouted in a low voice: "Princess, what is going on?"
Zhen Xue rubbed her sleepy eyes and said softly: "My lord, I don't remember last night. After drinking last night, Ziyu asked me to help my lord into the side room, and then serve my lord to rest in the middle of the night, and my lord started..."
As he spoke, it seemed a little difficult to speak, and he hesitated.
It must be said that women are all born actors.
Hearing this, Shui Rong reached out and rubbed his temples, with a look of pain on his face, and said, "I, I don't remember this happening."
He drank too much last night and he remembered something strange, but he shouldn't be the one.
Zhen Xue's eyes were slightly red, and she choked and said: "If the prince hates me, just tell me directly, how could he say such ridiculous things in front of Jia Ziyu after drinking yesterday?"
King Beijing was very agitated at the moment and whispered: "Stop talking."
After saying that, without looking at Zhen Xue, he stood up, put on his clothes, adjusted his robes, paused for a moment, and asked, "Where is Ziyu?"
Zhen Xue said softly: "Zi Yu went back last night."
Shui Rong's expression changed, he sighed, and whispered: "Drinking will make things worse, drinking will make things worse."
He originally wanted to use his drunkenness to test Jia Ziyu's feelings, but he didn't want to get himself into it.
Zhen Xue also put on her clothes at this moment, looked at Shui Rong, and said, "Your Majesty, what Jia Ziyu said is right. As long as your Majesty pays more attention to the doctor, you can always find a way."
Shui Rong felt dizzy after hearing this. He waved his hand and said, "You can clean up yourself. I'll have business to do later."
He remembered that someone seemed to be lying on him last night, and in a daze, he couldn't remember what he did.
Shui Rong said and left the wing, his face as gloomy as iron.
After Shui Rong left, the expression on Zhen Xue's face gradually calmed down. She looked at the empty room, sighed quietly, and suddenly a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
This is her husband. If her sister hadn't plotted against her to get acquainted with Ziyu from now on, what would she have done in this life?
…
…
Years pass by and seasons flow by. The fifteenth year of Chongping gradually entered the winter months when everything was normal. In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Jia Heng returned to Beijing.
On this day, the Beicheng ferry was crowded with people. Jiangnan officials in Jinling City had learned that Jia Heng was leaving Beijing, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
During this period, Jia Heng sent Jinyi Palace Guards and Tiqi to investigate the assassination of the King of Chu with great fanfare, and questioned some officials of the Six Ministries of Jiangnan who had become officials under various names. Then Fang Yaochun was dismissed from the Imperial Academy for offering wine. It can be said that there was an atmosphere of chilling. shrouded.
But after waiting for a long time, there was still no one from Jinyi Mansion. Officials from the Sixth Department of Jiangnan began to wonder what kind of medicine Jia Heng was selling in his gourd.
Then, amidst everyone watching anxiously, the news that Jia Heng was about to return to Beijing had spread throughout Jinling City. After the officials in Jiangnan officialdom were stunned, they were inexplicably surprised.
And Jia Heng did make preparations for returning to Beijing. First, he handed over the assassination of King Chu to Liu Jixian, the governor of Fusi Town, Jinyifu North Town, and handed over the daily training affairs of the Jiangnan Camp to Generals Cai and Xie.
He himself led the Jinyi Palace Guards and the soldiers and horses of the Jiangnan Camp to escort the Jurchen prisoners and the North Korean naval officers back to Shenjing.
At this moment, at Beicheng Ferry, at a glance, there are crowds of people.
The farewell team was headed by Shen Fang, the Governor of Liangjiang, Yuan Tu, the Minister of Rites, the King of Chu, the King of Beijing, the Marquis of Annan, and Lin Ruhai, the censor of salt inspection. In addition, there were Yangzhou salt merchants and gentry living in Jinling, joining in the fun. At this moment, a group of people Both eyes were looking at the ship with the handsome flag with the character "Jia" hanging on it.
The Jiangnan Camp specially dispatched a thousand soldiers to maintain order.
Looking at the seven or eight large ships on the river, the Jiangnan officials and gentry who came to see them off had mostly complicated thoughts.
For example, officials in the south of the Yangtze River all had the thought that the god of plague was gone and the sky was dawning in Jinling.
As for Wang Shouqi, Jiang Tong and other Yangzhou salt merchants, their eyes flickered, showing both resentment and helplessness.
Nowadays, the Lianghuai Salt Law does not limit the amount of capital and strength of salt merchants. Salt can be obtained by vote. It can be said that the roots of the eight major salt merchants have been dug up since then. There is no longer the previous monopoly profiteering, not to mention that nearly two-thirds of the salt merchants have been recovered family wealth.
And all of this is the handiwork of Uncle Yong Ning.
How could the Yangzhou salt merchants not feel resentful when they thought about it?
It was just that Jia Heng was forced to use cruel methods before, but the resentment in his heart was deeply rooted.
A gentleman's revenge is never too late!
Lin Ruhai now turned his gaze to the young man, and immediately looked at the tall ship moored on the water, as tall as a city.
Soon, he will also go to Beijing to serve as an official and reunite with Yu'er.
At this moment, Shen Fang led his literary officials Bai Sixing, Lu Chaoyun and others to look at the young man in python suit who was chatting and laughing with Wang Shuirong of Beijing and Marquis Yezhen of Annan. His eyes were condensed and a cold feeling surged in his heart.
At this moment, Jia Heng was saying goodbye to the King of Chu, King Shuirong of Beijing, and Hou Yezhen of Annan. He was also accompanied by some generals from the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps.
Tan Jijiu, the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing, flashed his eyes and thought to himself, Uncle Yongning has forgotten that he still owes him a memorial recommending him as Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing. Now it seems that Uncle Yongning has not mentioned this matter.
Do you want a reminder?
After Jia Heng finished speaking to Annan Hou Ye Zhen, he looked at King Beijing and warned him again: "Your Majesty, if you have any questions about the charter of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding School, you can write to us."
Shui Rong nodded, with a bit of reluctance in his eyes, and said: "Zi Yu, have a nice trip. When the things in Fuzhou and Hangzhou are over, you and I can have a drink and talk."
He felt that his previous attitude was not sincere enough, and he would try to persuade Zi Yu after a while.
Jia Heng looked at the other sufferer, King Chu, with a solemn look on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, I have made arrangements in Nan Province. While your Majesty is in Jinling, you should also be more careful about villains and thieves. When traveling in Jinling City, you must not waste time." Arowana suit, you should send more guards to be vigilant whenever you travel."
The King of Chu nodded heavily and said, "Zi Yu told me, I have taken note of it."
He wanted to stay in Jiangnan for a while. Not long ago, the teacher said that some officials, such as Shen Fang, the governor of Liangjiang, Xu Shikui, the chief envoy of Jiangzuo, and Lin Yingqi, the minister of Nanjing Ministry of Industry, wanted to meet with him in private.
After Jia Heng finished his instructions, he turned his attention to the officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing. He could clearly see the lightness on the faces of some officials and sneered in his heart. Then he looked at the crowd in the distance and focused on several places.
On the bank of the willow trees in the southwest, on a glazed hairpin carriage hanging the colorful flag of the eldest princess, the eldest princess of Jinyang and Yuan Chun were in the carriage at the moment, opening the curtain and watching Jia Heng off.
The girl on the side, wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife hanging on her waist, was holding a monocular telescope in her hand and looking towards this side.
Because Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue were also going back to Shenjing with Jia Heng, the eldest princess also got on the carriage and came out to see them off.
At this moment, the eldest princess of Jinyang stretched out her hand to lower the cotton curtain and said softly: "Yuan Chun, let's go back."
Yuanchun said softly: "Your Highness, don't you want to read it?"
There was a look of laziness in the eyes of Princess Jinyang, and she said softly: "I am a little tired now. It is important to go back to raise the baby. When everyone returns to the city, it will be a mess again."
Yuan Chun responded, and then ordered Xia Houying and Chen Xiao to be escorted back to the house by the guards and mammies.
Among the crowd in the northeast, there was also a carriage. Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue were also sitting in the carriage, looking at the people seeing them off.
"Sister, he's gone." Zhen Xue looked at the young man who had turned around and headed towards the flag ship, and whispered in Zhen Qing's ear.
A complex look appeared on Zhen Qing's cold and beautiful face. She stretched out her hand to gently caress her belly, sighed and said, "Before the Chinese New Year, I don't know if I can come back."
This bastard, can't he spend more time with her?
At this moment, Jia Heng waved goodbye to the officials and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, and then boarded the flag ship, accompanied by Li Shu, the bodyguard of the Jinyi Mansion. Jiangnan officials swept towards the shore.
"Let's go!"
Following Jia Heng's order, the sergeants untied the cables and boarded the boats one after another, and then the cavalry sent them off along the river.
The triumphal fleet escorting the Jurchen Prince in the distance also set up its sails, spread out ripples on the river, and headed north.
At this moment, the Jiangnan officials, gentry, and soldiers on the shore watched the boat driven by the boy in the python suit gradually sail away, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Shen Fang felt relieved. Such an important minister of the country, a young noble man, sitting in Jinling, made everyone breathless.
In a cabin on the high-rise boat on which Jia Heng was riding, there were Chai Dai, Tan Chun, Xiang Yun, Wen Qi, Zhen Lan, Zhen Xi, Bao Qin and Nona, as well as Xi Ren, Yuanyang, Zicuckoo and other maids. Through the bamboo curtain, I looked at the sea of people on the shore.
Xiangyun put down the monocular telescope in his hand, a charming smile appeared on his round apple face, and said: "This thing made by Brother Heng is really easy to use. Even though it is so far away, it is still as clear as before."
Daiyu looked at Xiangyun with a smile, covered her mouth and chuckled, then looked at Baochai and whispered: "Sister Bao, Sister Yun really likes this telescope."
Baochai smiled softly and said, "She just likes these fun things."
Zhen Lan, who was on the side, stared at the telescope in Xiang Yun's hand and said softly: "Sister Yun, let me use this thing to take a look."
Xiangyun reluctantly handed it over and said, "Sister Lan, this is what Brother Heng gave me. Don't break it."
After all, he is a guest, so Xiangyun has no choice but to refuse.
Baoqin smiled and joked: "Sister Yun, when did Brother Heng give this telescope to you? Didn't Brother Heng give it to me? I let you play with it for two days and then it becomes yours."
Previously, Bao Qin asked Jia Heng about the telescope, and after Jia Heng brought it to Bao Qin from the study, Xiang Yun saw it while Bao Qin was playing. He heard that he could see stars, and then Xiang Yun couldn't walk. .
Bao Qin said, talking to Zhen Lan about the points to pay attention to using the telescope.
Xiangyun pursed his lips and said softly: "I didn't say it was mine either."
The two chubby girls were both charming and charming, and they often bickered.
Zhen Lan looked into the distance with the telescope at this moment. Looking at the clear vision in front of her, she could even see faces in the distance. She opened her mouth slightly, her heart was inexplicably shocked. She put down the telescope and whispered: "This is Something that Brother Heng figured out?"
If this telescope were used in military affairs, wouldn't the movement of enemy troops be clear?
She went to Beijing this time, which was the right thing to do.
These whimsical ideas or the Hongyi cannon previously brought from Haojing all indicate that Brother Heng is already preparing for a battle against the captives.
Baoqin explained: "Brother Heng said it was used to detect the enemy's situation during the war. I think it looks a bit like the clairvoyance mentioned in those story books. Having this thing when marching and fighting should be even more powerful."
Tanchun nodded and said, "Sister Qin is right. It can be said that there are many uses for detecting enemy police and arranging troops from high places."
In fact, Baoqin is bigger than Tanchun, but just as the Grand View Garden was built and Zhuchai came in, the sisters were all barking randomly.
At this time, Mrs. You and Mrs. Cao led several maids, prepared hot tea and snacks, and greeted with a smile: "Girls, come over here to drink some hot tea and eat some snacks. It's warmer here." .”
You family also returned to Beijing with the ship this time, while Cao family took their two children, Li Wen and Li Qi, to visit Li Wan and his son Jia Lan in Beijing. They also took the opportunity to see Jia's mother, who had not moved around for many years.
Of course, this was Cao's excuse, but it was just to take his two daughters to escape from the Li family, which had an overly ethical atmosphere.
All the warblers came over and started talking.
On another ship, Li Chanyue and Princess Xianning put down the bamboo curtains, sat down, drank tea and talked.
Li Chanyue's gloomy eyebrows were full of expectation, and she whispered softly: "Cousin, can you still go back to Jinling during the Chinese New Year?"
Princess Xianning said: "When my husband comes to Jinling a few years ago, will you come with me? But it was very hard to ride a fast horse back then."
"I'm not afraid of hard work. Let Mr. Xiao Jia take me." Li Chanyue lowered her voice and said with some embarrassment.
Princess Xianning's face was graceful and she said in a low voice: "If you follow me, I don't have time to care about you."
That man stayed in Jinling and did not need to return to Beijing. After she returned to Beijing, she would buy a private house not far from Ningguo Mansion.
When Li Chanyue heard this, she sighed softly and whispered: "I have returned to Beijing. I don't know what title my uncle has given to my husband. The marriage has not been settled yet."
The Yingying Yanyan who was watching the boat earlier were joined by the two from the Zhen family. I wonder if they were related to Mr. Xiao Jia. They seemed to be very weak.
Princess Xianning said softly: "It must be at least a second-class marquis. I'm afraid we will have to wait a little longer for the marriage. Recently, the newspaper has begun to discuss peace with the Jurchens."
At the end of the sentence, the girl frowned slightly, and her beautiful eyes were slightly cold. If the peace was negotiated, when would the husband be able to make a contribution? Marrying her and Chanyue would not last long.
Thanks to the leader of the book friend "E dot W dot Q dot" for the reward.
