Jiangnan, Jinling Prefecture
It's early December, and it snowed just last night. When I opened the door, the sky and the earth were white.
In the square courtyard with green walls and snow eaves, a plum blossom tree stands proudly in the frost and snow, waiting to bloom. The snow from the south falls on the branches, and the cold fragrance comes from the howling cold wind. The thin and small snow plum blossoms become more and more beautiful. Somewhat beautiful and lovely.
In the backyard, the hot air in the wing condensed on the carved glass, and suddenly there were clusters of frost flowers, as white as feathers.
On the bed covered with vermilion curtains, two beauties in wide coats and skirts were sitting, talking together, with a pair of thin blankets covering their knees.
"Sister, yesterday's message from Feige said that Sister Lan and Sister Xi have arrived in Shenjing." Zhen Xue put down the Three Kingdoms dialect book in her hand, and Wen Ning's eyebrows were full of longing.
Because the King of Beijing has gone to Hangzhou and Fuzhou to rectify the navy in both places, Zhen Xue, who is already pregnant, has been staying at Zhen Qing's house frequently recently.
When Zhen Qing heard this, her jade face was slightly cold, and the clear phoenix eyes under her curved eyebrows were as bright as water, and she said: "It seems that the Chinese New Year is almost here, and he will probably not come back."
As he spoke, his jade cheeks turned pale, he quickly picked up the handkerchief on the side, covered his mouth and retched.
After a while, a look of anger emerged on the beauty's snowy face, and she spat, "This bastard, you're a murderer!"
Zhen Xue was used to it. Apparently she had heard Zhen Qing scolding Jia Heng countless times during this period, and said softly: "Sister, it will be fine if you just get through this period of time."
Zhen Qing was one and a half months pregnant and was already suffering from morning sickness. She felt like eating sour foods these days, which made Zhen Qing very happy.
Zhen Qing said: "If it weren't for him, how could my sister and I have suffered so much? It's all because of that bastard."
This is the eldest son of that bastard. He will treat them well in the future. This picturesque land belongs to the fetus in her belly.
Zhen Xue looked at the beauty and sighed softly, her white cheeks became rounder and jade-like, and her voice was soft and soft: "I have read in the newspaper in the past two days that the voice of the peace talks in Beijing is getting louder and louder."
Zhen Qing said: "It's just that the tree is big and attracts the wind. Sister, did the newspaper in the residence say what title he was awarded when he returned to Beijing?"
Zhen Xue said softly: "There is no record in the latest newspaper. Maybe it has not been long since I returned to Beijing. I think it will only be a few days ago."
Zhen Qing stretched out her slender hand and gently caressed her lower abdomen, which had not yet revealed her pregnancy. With expectation in her narrow phoenix eyes, she said softly: "Why can't a second-class marquis escape? It's impossible to say that he can be made a first-class marquis."
That bastard is not that big. If this momentum continues, he will surely become a very popular minister in the future. And when he is still young and powerful, won't his father in the palace be suspicious of him? That was her chance.
She assists the young master, regents of the country, and takes charge of the court...
At this moment, the maid outside disrupted Zhen Qing's thoughts through a hanging cotton curtain and called: "Princess, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is here to see the princess."
Since Zhen Qing became pregnant, the King of Chu paid more attention to her and came to visit her frequently. When the symptoms of morning sickness appeared in the past few days and the diagnosis of Ximai was correct, the King of Chu was even more delighted.
But in the past few days, Zhen Qing refused to see her because she felt unwell.
King Chu didn't dare to be upset, but he was more and more careful with him.
Zhen Qing frowned her beautiful eyebrows, her phoenix eyes were clear and twinkling, and she said softly: "I'll go see him later."
At this moment, in the inner hall, the surrounding female officials and maids stood with their hands down, and on a pear-shaped chair next to the lacquered wood table, King Chen Qin of Chu, dressed in a python suit and jade belt, sat upright, with a steaming tea cup in his hand, a handsome and fair face. Overflowing with joy.
God treated him well. He had just lost a son and gave him another son.
"Your Majesty, the princess is here." At this moment, a nun lifted the curtain and came in and said.
When the King of Chu heard this, he suppressed his joy, followed the sound, looked at the beauty, and couldn't help but look slightly startled.
Zhen Qing is dressed in a snow-white fox fur with lapels, and she walks gracefully. Her hair is in a towering bun, decorated with phoenix hairpins and pearls, which makes her skin white and greasy, and her appearance is beautiful. Perhaps because of her pregnancy, her originally cool and pretty facial lines have softened a lot. , a little more round and polished.
"Your Majesty, why are you looking for me?" Zhen Qing, with slender and delicate eyebrows and clear phoenix eyes, asked the young king with a calm look.
As time passed, the original resentment was deeply buried in her heart. At least on the surface, there was nothing unusual about Zhen Qing.
But just like the psychic gem, although it seems to be still solid, dense spider web cracks have appeared on it.
Looking at the beauty, King Chu could not help but feel guilty. He hesitated and said, "The Chinese New Year is about to come, and my father has called me back to the capital. Will the princess go back with me, or will she raise her baby in Jinling?"
Zhen Qing frowned, came closer and said, "Your Majesty, how can I travel a long distance with such a big belly?"
It would be best for her to leave Jinling and give birth to the child first. With the child, she would be more confident whether facing that bastard or the person in front of her.
King Chu nodded and said softly: "That's what I mean too. After the spring of next year, I will ask for leave from my father and leave the capital to see the princess again."
Zhen Qing looked at the King of Chu. Her beautiful face was silent for a moment, she pursed her pink lips and said softly: "Your Highness, this trip back to the capital is planned for important events. I am in Jinling in the south to pray for His Highness. If Your Highness has anything to do, you can write to him. Inquiry."
It can be said that women are all born actors. The more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at deceiving others. As long as she wants to play you, she can turn you around.
When King Chu heard this, his upright figure trembled. He looked at the beauty opposite, his eyes were blank, and he murmured: "Princess, I, I..."
As expected, the princess still ignored the past grudges, or in other words, after the princess had a child, she felt relieved about the previous things.
That day...he really didn't mean it.
Zhen Qing's face was slightly beautiful, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to mention the old things again, let's move on."
In the future, we have to rely on our status as a prince, and we can't make the relationship too tense. Since someone will eventually ease the relationship, let her do it first.
King Chu nodded heavily and said: "Princess, I heard some rumors from the palace that I may be in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War next year. Now Shi Jie, the minister of the Ministry of War, is going to the military aircraft to handle matters. The Ministry of War still lacks an official to handle daily affairs. I We will actively prepare for this matter.”
Zhen Qing said: "The Ministry of War is indeed a good place."
King Chu looked at the beauty's belly, his eyes filled with joy, and said, "Princess, you have to take care of yourself recently."
The couple talked for a while, and then King Chu said goodbye and left, while Zhen Qing returned to the backyard room with a gloomy expression.
Zhen Xue stood up, looked at the frosty-faced beauty, and asked: "Sister, why did the King of Chu come to see my sister?"
Zhen Qing's eyes were dark, she sat down and said softly: "You are going back to Beijing, please tell me."
Zhen Xue said: "That sister..."
"I'll have a baby and raise it in Jinling." Zhen Qing said softly.
At this time, I heard the nanny coming to report: "Princess, Xinxin comes here to look for the empress."
After a while, a little loli in a pink dress entered the wing, looked at Zhen Xue and said, "Mother, aunt."
"Xinxin is here." Zhen Xue reached out and hugged Shui Xin, and said softly: "Xinxin."
"Mom, have you sent any letters from your godfather recently?" Shui Xin raised her pretty face and smiled, revealing two gaping teeth. The little girl was obviously losing her teeth recently.
Zhen Xue said softly: "Your godfather hasn't sent the message yet."
Zhen Qing smiled and said: "This girl likes to stay with your godfather so much. If I had known, I would have let you go to Beijing with her."
While Zhen Qing was talking to the King of Chu, Jinling, Jinyang Princess Mansion——
The eldest princess of Jinyang had disheveled hair and no make-up. She did not put on makeup because she was worried about affecting the children. She was sitting on the Kang table on the bed. She turned to look at the beauty who was wandering around the purple clay pot and the small red clay stove and asked: " Yuanchun, is there any news recently?"
"Last time Fei Ge sent a letter saying that he should arrive in the capital in the next two days. Counting the time, he should be here." Yuanchun said softly, holding the teapot and pouring two cups of tea. The cinnabar porcelain cups were fine in texture and red in color.
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang looked out the window at Xiaoxue, who was doing some flying flowers in the garden. She gently stroked her belly and said in a sad tone: "I haven't seen a letter or anything in the past few days."
Yuan Chun chuckled and said, "Last time Brother Heng was in Luoyang, I didn't write a letter to His Highness."
The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "It's been so many days. I can't just leave that time. I write one letter every day. I can usually relieve my boredom."
Yuanchun: "..."
The eldest princess of Jinyang put her arm on her shoulders, thought for a moment, and said, "Yuan Chun, Princess Chu seems to be pregnant too."
Yuan Chun said softly: "What a coincidence. It happened after King Chu arrived in the south. If something happened to the Crown Prince of Chu, Princess Chu would be there. She is a very lucky person."
They used to be close friends, but now their circumstances are completely different.
The eldest princess of Jinyang's beautiful eyebrows were condensed, and her jade face showed a hint of thoughtfulness. For a moment, she said with emotion and confusion: "I heard from Lianxue that Princess Zhenxue of Beijing is also pregnant?"
I don't know why, but it always feels a little weird. It's such a coincidence.
But no matter how bright the beauty's imagination is, she will never think of... three slots with the same horse.
Yuan Chun said softly: "King Beijing came from the capital some time ago, but recently he went to Hangzhou."
I actually had some doubts in my heart, but after all, I was a little unsure.
Anyway, the pregnancy is theirs, she has nothing.
Princess Jinyang thought about it and felt she had no clue. She did not investigate the matter in detail, but asked: "Have all the various shops and properties of the Zhen family been collected and sold at a discount?"
"The account books from a year ago have been sorted out, and some properties and shops have been taken over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for rectification." Yuanchun said softly.
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone in the palace is in a hurry to use silver. Six hundred thousand taels of silver were allocated from the Jinling House of Internal Affairs and delivered to the capital for the palace's expenses. In addition, some items seized by the Zhen family were picked out. The good stuff will be delivered to Beijing." Princess Jinyang said softly.
Yuanchun responded with a yes.
…
…
Shenjing, Princess Jinyang’s Mansion
It was already evening, and the twilight was heavy. After the sun set, the northwest land was filled with fresh winds, and the temperature dropped rapidly, as if the continuous houses in the courtyard were frozen. The blue bricks and black tiles were pitch black in the cold and solemn world. The night is shrouded, and the outline is gradually unclear.
On the bed with curtains in the room, hot air mixed with aroma and other scents lingered in the room.
Jia Heng lay on the boat, looked at Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue and said, "It's getting late, Xianning, let your servants prepare some hot water while I take a bath."
After a lot of twists and turns before, it really comes in the wind, goes in the rain, and is nothing in the waves.
Princess Xianning's delicate body was still trembling slightly. A lock of hair in front of her forehead fell down, covering her left cheek. As the girl's head moved slightly, it seemed to be gently stroking her hot blush.
The spring charm of Princess Xianning's eyebrows overflowed, becoming more and more gorgeous, and the tear mole became more and more beautiful under the shadow of the rose-red halo. The clear eyes under the willow eyebrows opened slightly, and said softly: "Sir, I'm not here. Do you want to eat here?”
Jia Heng said: "I stopped eating. I can't eat anything now."
Princess Xianning smiled lightly, looked at Chan Yue and said, "Sister Chan Yue, don't be shy."
Li Chanyue was in the room at the moment, her head buried in the quilt, her bun slightly messy, gently stroking her wet clothes, and when she opened her mouth, her voice was filled with a surprising amount of sweetness, and she said softly: "Mr. Xiao Jia, My cousin will go with you to Jinyi Mansion, and I will follow you there. It’s not interesting for me to be alone at home.”
Jia Heng said: "Chanyue, it's so cold today. Please go with me so that you don't freeze. It won't freeze again."
There had been a quarrel with Chan Yue just now. Xian Ning insisted on teasing Chan Yue and shouted deliberately... Chan Yue, an honest child, really responded.
Li Chanyue: "..."
Ah, what does it mean to freeze? What do you mean by Mr. Jia?
Princess Xianning couldn't help but laugh, pinched Li Chanyue's hot cheeks, and asked: "Didn't Sir say that we should go to the weapons inspection?"
"There will be a court meeting tomorrow, which will probably take two days." Jia Heng got up, took a tea cup from the small table, took a sip of maple dew tea, and suppressed the sweetness in his mouth.
I secretly thought, if I continue like this, I won’t get oral cancer, right?
Princess Xianning stared at the young man with reluctant eyes, and said softly: "Then Chanyue and I won't see you off."
Jia Heng responded and said, "You two pack up and don't catch a cold."
At this time, the female officer prepared hot water and called Jia Heng. Jia Heng did not stay any longer and went to take a bath and change clothes.
Jia Heng returned to Ningguo Mansion and had just sat down in the study outside when Qingwen said, "Sir, the Xue family's concubine is here. She said she has something to do with the uncle. She is now in the backyard and in the inner hall."
When Aunt Xue asked about it, the excuse she gave was about Xue Pan, not Baochai.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said, "I'll go take a look."
With that said, he came to the inner hall and saw Aunt Xue talking to Qin Keqing, with a Baoqin beside her. Xiangling also came closer, and the room was full of Yingying and Yanyan chatting and laughing.
Aunt Xue took Xiang Ling's bare hand, looked at Xiang Ling, with an eager smile on her face, and asked: "Xiang Ling, are you still used to living in Dongfu?"
Xiang Ling has tied up her hair at this moment, her bright and jade-like forehead is covered with air bangs, and the rouge mark the size of a rice grain is bright and moving between her eyebrows. Because she keeps up with the nutrition in the house, her cheeks on both sides are gradually plumper, and she looks more and more pretty. The state of appearance.
Aunt Xue smiled and said to Qin Keqing: "This girl is really getting more and more depressed, she looks so slim."
Looking at Xiangling at this moment, Aunt Xue actually felt a little regretful. It was just right to make her son a concubine at the beginning, but now it is better to stay in Ningguo Mansion. It seems that she will eventually fall into In the hands of Brother Heng.
Now, in the future, he will have to compete with his own daughter for favor. What kind of trouble is this?
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "Yinglian is quite tall. She has learned a lot of words recently, and she even told me that she wanted to learn poetry."
As he said that, he looked at Lin Daiyu aside, with a hint of intimacy in his beautiful eyes, and said, "I don't know much about these poems. Sister Lin is very talented in poetry. I can teach him more."
Among the girls in Dongfu, except for the two Miao Xi, such as Second Sister You, Third Sister You, and even Qin Keqing, they are not very talented. Of course, Qin Keqing is okay and can play some piano music.
Hearing this, Daiyu said softly: "I am also a beginner, but Sister Bao is really good at this. Sister Bao and I will teach her together."
At this moment, Xue, Lin and Qin appear in the same frame, which is really the "beauty of both hairpin and black hair" in the literal sense.
Baochai said softly: "There is nothing easy to learn about this poem. Sister Lin and I have time to give her some advice."
While everyone was talking and laughing to themselves, Grandma's voice came from outside: "Uncle is back."
Several people in the room stopped talking and laughing. Qin Keqing stood up, looked at the young man walking slowly from outside, and asked: "My husband, the Holy Face, is back?"
Jia Heng nodded and said with a smile: "Have you eaten yet?"
"I was just talking about waiting for my husband." Qin Keqing's beautiful face smiled softly and said: "Auntie came to talk to my husband about Xue Pan."
Jia Heng said: "Aunt, come with me to the study to talk."
At this time, Baochai said softly: "Brother Heng, let me go with my mother."
If my mother's words got too deep later, it seemed like she was inciting her.
Jia Heng thought for a moment and said, "That's good. The Chinese New Year will be approaching soon, and Wenlong should be back from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division."
Qin Keqing looked at the three people with different expressions and vaguely guessed some secrets in her mind, but said calmly: "Husband, can Wenlong stay at home for a few more days during the Chinese New Year to reunite with my aunt and save her from worrying about it."
Jia Heng said "hmm", and then led Aunt Xue and Baochai to the study as Qin Keqing watched.
In the study -
Jia Heng called Aunt Xue and Baochai to sit down, and after letting Qingwen serve the tea, he looked at the pampered woman dressed in silk and satin, and asked softly: "Auntie, are you here about Wenlong?"
At this time, the smile on Aunt Xue's face seemed a little forced, and she said hesitantly: "Brother Heng, Bao Yatou... Bao Yatou has already told me about you two."
When Baochai heard this, her jade face turned slightly red, her cherry teeth gently bit her pink lips, and she whispered: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng stopped Baochai's words and said, "Sister Xue should tell her aunt."
I didn't expect to hide this matter from Aunt Xue, otherwise as the New Year passed and Baochai got older, Aunt Xue would definitely go crazy and make trouble.
Aunt Xue looked at the young man, considered her words, and asked: "Brother Heng, what do you and Bao Yatou... say?"
Jia Heng said: "Aunt, I told Sister Xue before that things between us can't be rushed for a few more years. Sister Xue is still a little young, and now she is playing with her sisters in the garden. Year."
When Aunt Xue heard this, she quickly said: "Actually, Baochai is not young anymore. She will have haircut this year and will be twenty-eight next year. The marriage should be arranged quickly."
Even though she had done a lot of psychological construction for herself in private, and even spent a long time brewing the answer in her mind last night, Aunt Xue was still a little cautious when it came to mentioning her daughter's marriage when facing the calm young man opposite.
Judging from Jia Mu's performance when Baoyu threw the jade yesterday and Mrs. Wang's silence and lying flat, we can actually estimate Jia Heng's current status in the world of Rongning and Ningfu.
Now, the only one who can restrain Jia Heng is himself.
As for Aunt Xue, it was like an employee was thinking in her mind about how to argue with her boss in the office. As a result, when talking face to face in the office, the words she had planned suddenly lost all her opinions.
At this time, Baochai reached out and took Aunt Xue's arm and said softly: "Mom, Brother Heng is right. It doesn't matter if you wait another one or two years. I want to serve you for two more years."
Jia Heng said warmly: "Don't worry, aunt. Sister Xue and I are in love, and I will definitely not wrong Sister Xue."
If Aunt Xue wants a promise, there will definitely be no promise. Just give his promise to Baochai, but if you give it to Aunt Xue, Aunt Xue will only feel unfulfilled.
Aunt Xue looked at the young man with a clear face, pursed her lips, and summoned up the courage to ask: "Brother Heng, did you say that you wanted to marry Bao Yatou as your legal wife?"
Baochai:"……"
Jia Heng's face paused when he heard this. He didn't expect Aunt Xue to be so direct. He glanced at Baochai, met a pair of panicked almond eyes, nodded and said: "When I get the credit in the future, I'll see if I can help Sister Xue." There are also things like asking for a royal wife, or marrying someone to become a wife."
Aunt Xue: "???"
Why is this uncertain tone different from what my good girl said conclusively yesterday? Or maybe it was Brother Heng who coaxed Bao Yatou?
Don't you mean to deceive Bao Yatou? Did you say that on purpose before?
Seeing her mother's look of surprise and suspicion, Baochai's face turned red with embarrassment. She reached out and took Aunt Xue's hand, saying softly: "Mom, Brother Heng knows what he knows, so don't ask."
If I had known it earlier, she wouldn't have said anything yesterday, but now it's like she came here to force a marriage.
In fact, Jia Heng said a lot at the beginning, that if you are the king of the county, you will be the concubine. If your merits are enough to become the main wife, then ask for a marriage. If it is not possible, ask for a royal title based on your special merits. Naturally, he is not trying to recommend her. He is perfunctory, but expresses his position that he will try his best to improve Baochai's status.
Naturally, what Baochai wanted most in her heart was to be his wife. Because the prince was too far away, Mrs. Gaoming had to beg for favors as a concubine.
Aunt Xue frowned and said, "Brother Heng, that's what I mean. After all, Bao Ya is not young anymore, and she can't delay it too long."
Jia Heng thought for a while, his voice became softer, and said: "Sister Xue is not very old. It doesn't matter if she plays with her sisters in the boudoir for a few more years. Auntie, there is no need to be so anxious. If we get married now, we can't do it now." When I ask for marriage, my aunt always gives me some time. When the time comes, it will happen naturally."
If you are in such a hurry to get married, the most you can do is become a concubine.
Aunt Xue looked at the young man, thinking about Jia Heng's words, and said, "Brother Heng, do you mean to wait a little longer?"
Jia Heng said: "Auntie, it's better to wait a little longer."
When Aunt Xue heard this, she was silent for a moment, her mind was turning over and over, and she was a little tangled.
No matter whether the person in front of her is in terms of power or personality, it is best not to push her too hard, otherwise it will be she and Bao Yatou who will suffer in the end.
Besides, he has only been around for a long time, and he is already a first-class prince. In the future... the Duke and the prince may not have a chance, right?
If you are a county prince, your concubine is no worse than the head wife of an ordinary family.
The prince of the Han Dynasty is a hereditary and irreplaceable iron-hatted prince. According to the clan's example, the children of his four concubines can be granted the title of general to assist the country or general to serve the country. This is a special favor for meritorious ministers.
However, in the hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, only four people have been blessed with great blessings. Aunt Xue was obviously indoctrinated by Xue Pan and Baochai and did not realize the difficulty of reaching heaven.
Aunt Xue thought for a while, calmed down, and said: "Brother Heng, I have only one daughter. She has been raised with a dignified character and a temperament that does not fight or rob. Brother Heng has never been born since the founding of the Han Dynasty. A man who has lived a good life is capable of great things, and the marriage can definitely be accomplished, but he cannot... wait too long."
Listening to her mother's words, Baochai lowered her head, her snowy cheeks were hot and blushing, the handkerchief in her hand kept twisting, and she whispered: "Mom, just leave these to Brother Heng, I don't have...then I hate marrying someone."
Saying this, Brother Heng might have thought it was her instruction.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "I know all about Auntie's worries. No matter what, I will treat Sister Xue well in the future."
Aunt Xue sighed, looked at the young man and wanted to tell him that he should pay attention to the precautions between men and women before getting married, but her lips moved and she swallowed the words.
Just say these words to your daughter secretly. It's just like saying it to someone else in person. Moreover, the two of them have been together for more than a year, so there's no way they can go south...
Aunt Xue's heart skipped a beat and she didn't dare to think any more.
In fact, this is the foresight and backwardness caused by the inequality of class status.
My daughter is the youngest wife of a family, so naturally she cannot act like her mother-in-law, nor can she be strong-willed. However, the eldest wife is still in the hall, and is now the first-class Madam of Marquis Wu. She has no place to make trouble if she wants to, so she has to go to Jia Mu. In the end, she was directly adopted as a concubine and had nothing, so she felt like crying without tears.
Aunt Xue was a smart person, so she could only use her words to reinforce Jia Heng's original "promise".
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Auntie, after returning to Beijing, there are still some business matters that were originally taken care of by eldest sister. Recently, I thought about asking sister Xue to help handle some of them."
Keqing doesn't just play mahjong and doesn't care about it, but she has to take care of everything inside and out. For example, if someone's birthday is usually celebrated, relatives are welcomed and sent off, Keqing is responsible for taking care of it. Needless to say, recently, Also prepare...to conceive.
When Aunt Xue heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned and said in surprise: "Let Bao Yatou take charge of the business of Jingli Shop?"
Is Brother Heng going to let Bao Yatou take charge of the house?
Maybe in the future, if the management is good, the Duke's Mansion will be left to Bao Yatou to take care of it? If so...
Jia Heng said: "Sister Xue is a knowledgeable person. I want her to help me manage some of the shops in Beijing. She can also help with the housekeeping after I come here."
Aunt Xue was very happy when she heard the word "housekeeper". She looked at Baochai and asked, "Bao girl, you can usually handle it."
"I usually see my mother taking care of the family business, but I still have some care. Even if there are difficulties, I just don't know how to learn." Baochai said softly, glanced at the young man, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He shouldn't be angry, right?
Aunt Xue chuckled lightly and said: "That's okay. Originally, I said that I was too busy with the family business and wanted you to help me. You insisted that you didn't want to care about the family business. Now it's okay. Brother Heng is busy. When it comes to national affairs, you help him handle family matters. It is in line with the rules for men to take charge of the outside world and women to take charge of the house."
Of course, Aunt Xue obviously misunderstood that the object of "help" mentioned by Jia Heng was not Jia Heng, but...Qin Keqing.
If you help Qin Keqing, you will have a master and a slave.
Baochai nodded and said "hmm" softly.
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Brother Heng is busy with national affairs. Please help him."
She saw that Keqing had a soft personality, otherwise he would never let the You sisters stay in the house. Therefore, sometimes it was not always the head wives who were favored, and it was hard to say what would happen in the future.
Jia Heng said: "Wenlong, I'll say hello to the Wucheng Bingma Division and ask him to come back and stay a few more days during the New Year."
Mentioning Xue Pan, Aunt Xue's heart moved slightly and asked: "Brother Heng, Wen Long has been here for almost a year. Has he been... released from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division?"
With such a powerful young man named Wuhou taking care of him, Pan'er will have someone to rely on in the future.
Jia Heng said: "It's not too late to give it another two years. After all, this was the original decree of the Holy One."
When Aunt Xue heard this, she felt discouraged again.
Jia Heng comforted him and said, "Don't worry, aunt. In the future, you can find a job for Wen Long in the army, or help him support his family business."
Aunt Xue asked: "Really?"
Anyway, since Bao Yatou followed Brother Heng, Pan'er will definitely have a future.
Jia Heng said: "Wenlong has been cultivating his moral character for several years now, which is probably a good thing. Let's see how his temperament is in the future, whether he is looking for a job or inheriting his ancestral business."
Aunt Xue nodded when she heard this. Although she was a little disappointed that Jia Heng did not make a promise immediately, she saw a good attitude and the rest was to see the implementation.
