Grand View Garden, Daoxiang Village
In the winter night, the orange lights were bright and bright, and because there were screens inside and outside, there was no human figure reflected on the windows.
Li Wan picked up the wine cup, took another sip, and asked, "Brother Heng, Brother Lan, did you say before that it would be better to learn some martial arts?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said loudly: "Strengthen your body. Actually, sister-in-law, don't be too stressed. There is always a scholar in our family, Brother Lang. I also need him to help me in the future."
When Li Wan heard this, he felt happy and said with a chuckle: "If he can grow up and become your helper, Ziyu, I won't let me feed him in vain."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, these years have been too difficult."
In this way, the two of them talked until Xu hour. The sky was pitch black and there were no stars, but Jia Heng still didn't see Cao coming.
Jia Heng looked at the young woman who was drunk due to the surge of alcohol and her blushing face, and said warmly: "Sister-in-law, it's getting late. I'll go back first."
Li Wan raised his face, which was as red as the clouds, and spoke softly with his pink lips, saying, "Ziyu, let me give it to you."
Jia Heng said: "Sister-in-law stayed behind, the snow melted late at night, and the road was muddy..."
But at this time, Li Wan had already stood up, but he was drunk. He felt a little dizzy for a while, and his delicate body swayed to the side, as if he was about to fall to the ground.
Jia Heng quickly stepped forward to support the beauty's arm and said with concern: "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
At this time, Li Wan staggered and said "Ouch", his feet seemed to be unsteady, and he suddenly fell on Jia Heng's shoulder. The faint smell of alcohol mixed with the faint aroma of powder floated on the tip of his nose, making Jia Heng He frowned and his eyes were a little dazed.
Jia Heng quickly composed himself, stretched out his hands to support each other, and suddenly felt a fragrant aroma, almost like orchid grass, wafting in. Mixed with the smell of alcohol, it became even more sultry.
No wonder people say that wine is the medium of sex.
Jia Heng thought to himself.
Li Wan's gentle and gentle face was already as hot as fire, his mouth was slightly soft, and his originally gentle voice was trembling. He held his smooth and jade-like forehead with one hand and said with a breath like a orchid: "Ziyu, I... I'm so drunk that I feel dizzy."
Jia Heng said softly: "Then go to the bed in the house and rest first. Suyun and Biyue come over and help your grandma."
But after calling for a long time, there was no response from the hall. It was clear that at some point, the maid waiting outside the hall had long disappeared.
And across a wall of flowers covered with green eaves and covered with white snow, in a square courtyard, the lights are bright in the wing, the figures are longing, the sandalwood in the animal head incense cage is mixed with ice silk, and the green smoke is curling up. , exuding a fragrant fragrance.
Just in this environment, the Cao family, Li Wen and Li Qi could not experience the wealth and honor they had experienced in the Li family in Jiangnan, let alone the ordinary fine clothes and food.
It can be said that the entire Grand View Garden does provide these girls with a superior living environment.
Mrs. Cao took Suyun's arm, smiled and said, "You two don't go, just rest early in the house."
Su Yun looked stunned for a moment, and said softly to Madam Cao: "Aunt Cao, Uncle Heng seemed to be calling me and Bi Yue just now."
"It's so late, we're all asleep, no one cares that he's calling." There was a trace of interest in Mr. Cao's slender eyes, and he chuckled and whispered.
Suyun also reacted, looked at Biyue with shy eyes, and the two whispered: "Then let's go to bed first."
The two of them know what grandma does in the dead of night, and sometimes they secretly listen, as if listening to... Uncle Heng's name?
In the side room, Jia Heng looked at Li Wan, whose eyes were slightly closed, and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't know where they went. Maybe they fell asleep first."
He always felt that there was something unusual here.
At this moment, the young woman Hua Xin was being supported by the young man. Half of her plump and soft body was almost resting on the young man. After all, she rarely drank alcohol, so she felt a little dizzy just now when she was in love.
The young woman Hua Xin felt her heart beating in her chest, while her elegant and beautiful face was as red as a danxia, bright and bright for no reason.
The jasper beaded hairpin on the exquisite bun was trembling unconsciously, and her voice was trembling slightly, as if she was whispering: "Ziyu, just help me sit down."
Jia Heng said: "Sister-in-law, please go to bed and rest first."
He was actually fine, he wasn't too affected by the drunkenness, and his mind was still sober at the moment, but looking at Li Wan's situation, something seemed not good.
While Jia Heng was talking, he helped Li Wan to the bed. The bed was very elegantly decorated, with blue curtains tied with red ropes and gold hooks. He put Li Wan down and said, "At this moment, Biyun and Su Yue are also here." I don’t know where I went, my sister-in-law is lying here to rest, waiting to call the two of them."
In fact, he already wanted to leave. If he stayed any longer, something might happen.
Li Wan was half leaning on the bed, his beautiful eyes flashed under his beautiful eyebrows, and he focused on the young man's appearance. He twisted his beautiful eyebrows and whispered, "Ziyu, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Jia Heng picked up a tea cup from the teapot and said, "Sister-in-law doesn't usually drink much, but today she really drank a little too much."
Li Wan was lying on the bed, under Liu Ye's beautiful girl, with drunken eyes, looking at the young man in a trance, and said softly: "Zi Yu, today I really...drank a little too much."
Jia Heng handed the tea cup over and said warmly: "Sister-in-law, take a sip of tea to suppress the alcohol. This tea is just right."
Li Wan nodded, feeling warm in his heart. He looked at the considerate young man and said softly, "Thank you Ziyu."
As he said that, he reached out to take it, and shook it, but it was a little unstable, and the tea cup fell to the ground with a bang, hitting the skirt.
Jia Heng's expression paused and he asked, "Isn't it permed?"
As he said that, he handed it over with a handkerchief and said, "Just wipe it."
Li Wan took the handkerchief and stared at the young man. Suddenly his nose felt sore, his soft and beautiful eyes sparkled, and tears fell like broken pearls.
Jia Heng looked at the beautiful and beautiful face, frowned and asked: "Why is my sister-in-law crying when she is so good?"
Yes, it’s even harder to say goodbye and leave now.
For those who didn’t know, they thought he had bullied Li Wan.
Li Wan wiped his tears with a handkerchief, looked at the young man with tearful eyes, and said in a choked voice: "I'm fine, I'm just happy. Brother Lan has a clan uncle like Brother Heng here. I really feel sorry for him." He's happy."
In all these years, no other man has ever cared about her like this, asking for her well-being and caring for her in every possible way.
Why is her life so miserable...
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, looked at the tearful beauty, and said comfortingly: "Sister-in-law has been raising Langeer for these years. It is indeed difficult for orphans and widowers. Sister-in-law, you should think broadly in everything. There is still an old man in the house. My wife is thinking about you."
When Li Wan heard this, he felt even more aggrieved and sobbed softly: "Zi Yu..."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "My sister-in-law is in pain, so she can just cry happily. There is no one else here."
Li Wan wiped his tears with a handkerchief and said softly: "Don't cry anymore. It's not good...it's not good to be like this in the dead of night."
If outsiders heard this, they would think that Brother Heng had bullied her.
Thinking of this, the young woman Hua Xin's heart trembled slightly, and she felt an unspeakable shame welling up in her heart uncontrollably.
When Jia Heng heard this, his face became silent for a moment, and he said with relief: "I remember when I first met Sister-in-law Wan, her eyebrows were gloomy and worried, hiding a lot of worries."
Li Wan seemed to be reminded of past memories by the young man's words. His tear-stained face slightly raised, with a hint of trance in his eyes, and he said softly: "At that time, I went to Liutiao Hutong to look for Ziyu. At that time, Ziyu had already shown extraordinary magnanimity. Later, when I saw him, he was indeed not a thing in the pond. Now, at his young age, he is even more like a first-class Wuhou."
At that time, the young man's speech and behavior were quite impressive, and now he is a famous and important minister in the court, serving as the king's assistant, and has great power.
Jia Heng met the young woman's soft, watery eyes and said with a chuckle: "The encounters in life are quite mysterious. In the future, when Lange'er is in high school and becomes an official, I will give my sister-in-law a commission."
Li Wan glanced at the young man and said with a mix of anger and joy: "By then, I will have grown old and become an old woman, and I don't know what else to say. I might as well... Now my years are gone, and I am old." It’s out of shape.”
Originally, she wanted to say that she was far inferior to Keqing, but Mrs. Hua Xin seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to mention Qin Keqing at this time, so she temporarily changed her words to talk about herself.
Of course, Li Wan's words had a hint of coquettishness, but it could also be said that after drinking, Hua Xin's mind was not as cautious as before, and her words were less scrupulous.
Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked at Li Wan, who was smiling and whispering softly, and whispered: "Sister-in-law is in her youth, how can she be old?"
Hearing this, Li Wan pursed her pink lips, and her heart was beating with joy. She said with a delicate voice, "I'm not young anymore, I'm almost an old woman." .”
These words increasingly have a hint of male and female teasing and coquettishness, but compared with "Water Margin", there is still no exposed hairpin falling to the ground and pinching the instep.
Jia Heng's face paused, and he naturally noticed some signs. He raised his eyes and took a look at the sky. He saw that the night was getting darker and darker, and he seemed to be unable to see his fingers. At almost midnight, he excused himself and left, saying: "Sister-in-law, it's getting late. I have to go back first."
In fact, he wasn't that sleepy, but if he stayed any longer, he felt like... something would probably happen. Besides being alone, talking and joking after drinking, Li Wan was still a widow.
Li Wan said: "It's getting late, so I'll see Brother Heng off."
Jia Heng quickly declined and said: "No, sister-in-law, have a good rest. I'll look for Suyun and Biyue later and ask them to fetch some hot water. My sister-in-law will have to talk to them carefully tomorrow. The master hasn't yet It’s time to sleep, the two of them fell asleep first.”
Li Wan's cheeks were slightly red, and he said softly, "Let me get you a lantern. The snow has just melted, and the view outside is very unclear."
Maybe it was because she was happy today, so she just thought she was drunk, so she didn't have much scruples about what she said.
"Sister-in-law is drunk, don't send her away." Jia Heng refused and said softly.
"I'm feeling better now." Li Wan said, and when he got up, he was about to see each other off. As soon as he got up, he felt that the world was spinning again, and he staggered again and fell to the side.
"Hey." Jia Heng frowned and quickly took Li Wan's hand.
This time, he was not as lucky as before. Jia Heng was suddenly taken down on the bed by Li Wan, and the two were facing each other, only a few feet away from each other.
Li Wan's eyes were full of light at this moment, and he was looking steadily at the young man with sharp eyebrows. At this moment, their eyes were facing each other, their breaths were touching each other, and the smell of each other's alcohol was hitting each other's face.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and was about to speak.
He still has some determination.
Suddenly, Li Wanying's lips pursed, her expression seemed to be in a trance, and her head came slightly closer, as if by mistake.
Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, his lips softened, and his heart moved slightly.
And Li Wan finished it in a strange way due to a sense of drunkenness. When she woke up, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't help herself. What on earth was she doing? She was really lost and crazy, no, this was a dream, all of this was a dream.
Jia Heng frowned, looked confused, and whispered: "Sister-in-law Wan, what do you mean?"
Li Wan: "???"
Li Wan quickly closed his eyes and didn't respond at all. He could only breathe evenly, and it was extremely quiet at this moment.
She was drunk, it was just a dream, she wanted to sleep, and she was already asleep.
Looking at the young woman who was "pretending to be dead" because she was drunk, Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then came closer and pinched the two petals of pink.
It's already happened, if you don't do something, it will be even more embarrassing afterwards.
Li Wanru was struck by thunder, and there was a slight snort in his nose. Not long after, he felt warm breath hitting his face. Just as he was about to say something, the man suddenly stood up. Before he thought about it, he saw a warm breath. His breath hit his face, and just as he was about to speak, shadows fell from the sky like twilight, and Tankou was attacked.
Then there was the wanton and brutal plundering, until a large area of snow-white skin suddenly appeared in front of him, and the snowman changed.
Li Wanyan's beautiful and beautiful jade cheeks were as red as clouds. Qiong snorted unconsciously and pushed her gently with both hands, but she was soon submerged in the turbulent waves.
Like the rain coming after a long drought, two slender hands hugged Jia Heng's shoulders tightly.
Jia Heng was a little stunned by Li Wan's reaction, his eyes flickered, and he sighed in his heart.
Li Wan was really drunk, or in other words, while still drunk, a certain emotion was amplified to the extreme.
In fact, Jia Heng never thought that during the countless nights when he was away from Shenjing, the outline of Li Wan's figure after closing his eyes had gradually become clearer, not overnight.
Jia Heng thought about it and whispered: "Sister-in-law..."
Li Wan seemed to be completely drunk, his beautiful eyes closed tightly, and he murmured unconsciously: "This is all a dream, it is a dream. After waking up from the dream, there is nothing."
It was clear that the young woman Huaxin fell into an emotion of guilt mixed with fear for what she had just done, and her mind fell into a state of confusion.
Jia Heng ignored her murmurings and instead leaned close to Hua Xin's young woman's delicate neck. Her delicate and fragrant skin trembled under his palms.
In Ningguo Mansion or in wealthy families, the head wife does not feed the children herself, but has a nanny. For example, Baoyu’s nanny, Aunt Li, raised Baoyu. In the original work, she was famous for the cheese tea. One incident drove Qian Xue away.
Although the Jia family has a nanny, even so, Li Wan is still a little different from the ordinary.
Jia Heng suddenly thought of the elm tree in Huifang Garden. When spring comes next year and the flowers bloom, the breeze will blow the shade of the tree. He thinks it will match the peach blossom tree.
Li Wan felt as if he had been struck by thunder at this moment, biting his pink lips with his white teeth, and his delicate and straight nose was already humming softly. At this moment, the young man's voice came to his ears, saying: "Sister-in-law Wan, These years, pulling Lan'er to grow up has been really hard on you."
Li Wan felt ashamed, but he didn't dare to respond. He just turned his head aside and let his skirt slip down.
Li Wan's delicate body trembled, her beautiful eyes regained some clarity, and she said with a pleading tone: "Zi Yu..."
The second half of the words were blocked deep in his mouth before they even came out.
In an instant, Li Wanxiu frowned and said in a trembling voice: "Ziyu..."
He was startled as soon as he opened his mouth, and his voice was obviously a little sweet and delicate. He buried his head in the quilt on one side, his cheeks were red, and he didn't dare to say a word.
Jia Heng frowned slightly and tightened his gaze, but he thought of Li Shouzhong in Jinling, as if he had met him in June, and sighed secretly in his heart.
Li Shouzhong is indeed an old-fashioned person.
In fact, some later generations' evaluations of Dream of Red Mansions were not wrong. Feudal ethics are indeed harmful to people. Now he can be regarded as anti-ethics and anti-oppression, right?
As for Mrs. Cao, she really didn't have any serious thoughts. Su Yun and Bi Yue must have been summoned away by her on purpose.
…
…
Outside the window, the cold wind of the winter moon is as biting as a knife, the wind is noisy, the owl whizzing past the eaves and the white snow on the eaves are swirling, and the snow powder falls on the apricot yellow "Daoxiang Village" three characters, the flagpole It makes a rhythmic rustling sound.
There are more than a dozen red apricot trees planted in the southwest corner of the courtyard. Because the weather is cold in winter, the red apricot flowers that originally spewed fire like clouds in the original work have not yet fully bloomed, but they are full of vitality in their trembling and swaying. It seems that in the spring when flowers are in full bloom, there is already a hint of spring in the red apricot branches.
In the wing room, Ms. Cao blew out the lights and couldn't help but laugh secretly when she didn't hear the door in the courtyard creak.
After a long, long time, Jia Heng looked at the beauty with a beautiful face. Her hair was disheveled, her cheeks were rosy, her body was as soft as a silkworm, and she sighed softly.
The drunken kiss he gave him earlier was almost the culprit. If he ignored it, Li Wan would be really shameless.
Listening to the young man sighing, Li Wan, who was originally in a state of insignificance and didn't know where he was going, was slightly shaken. He opened his beautiful eyes, and then said in a trembling voice: "...it's me who doesn't follow the rules of a woman."
She was deceived by lard, and actually seduced Zi Yu when she was drunk. If she rode a wooden donkey or soaked a pig cage in the future, it would be for her alone.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, gently caressed Li Wan's round shoulder, and said softly: "Actually, I don't blame you. I have been a widow for these years and have worked hard to cultivate a reading seed for the clan. It is also meritorious. Well, just this time. It won’t be the same next time.”
In the end, I felt that what I said was all nonsense, completely out of shape, and my face was a little weird.
Well, why do you feel like "Li Xiaowan, this is the last time"?
When Li Wan heard this, his beautiful face was stunned. The soft and plump eyes under her beautiful eyebrows quickly lowered her eyes, her heart trembled, and she buried her head in the bed beside her with complicated emotions.
What is meritorious service? Is this rewarding her?
In a daze, a thought seemed to flash through my mind, is it the last time?
Well, what is she thinking about? It must be that she hasn't woken up from the dream yet.
Yes, I haven’t woken up from this dream yet. This must be a dream within a dream.
Jia Heng leaned down, leaned close to Li Wan's ear, and reminded: "Your aunt is plotting against you. She deliberately took Su Yun and Bi Yue away, but you don't have to worry, nothing will happen to her."
There will be no trouble for Cao's side, and he doesn't need to settle it at all. This "grandma" doesn't dare to show her face, and even afterwards, she will probably pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Compared with the Ximen official who was just a powerful person in the county, with his current position and power, even if Jia Mu knew about it, she would pretend to be deaf and dumb, which already meant that he was a taboo for the venerable.
When Li Er was so worried about Dai Ji, no one in the world mentioned it.
But although Li Wan initiated this matter, he is still responsible.
Li Wan's snow-skinned face was already as red as the clouds, and a cluster of panic shadows hung down from his curved eyelashes. He closed his eyes and didn't respond to Jia Heng's words. In his heart, he just recalled the first time he took a boat to Beijing in more than ten years, and the river was surging. The boat rocked back and forth.
She actually knew... her aunt wanted to see her make a fool of herself and then watch her father's jokes.
When Jia Heng saw that no one was responding, he changed sides like spreading a pancake. He picked up his plump waist with one hand, looked at the tassels swaying between the temples, and whispered in the ear of young woman Hua Xin: "Now The matter has come to this, and it will not help to say anything else.”
Li Wan did not respond to Jia Heng's words, but was in an inexplicable panic. He closed his beautiful eyes repeatedly and bit his lower lip with his bright teeth. He did not speak, but there was a bit of shame in his heart, which he had obviously never heard of.
No, how is this different from an animal?
Seeing this, Jia Heng said nothing more and looked deeply at the pearl hairpin on the bun. The halo of pearls was getting bigger and smaller.
After a long time, until the ugly hour, the night gradually darkened and everything was silent.
"It's getting late, we have to go." Jia Heng looked at Li Wan, who was about to continue pretending to be dead, reached out and patted the round and crispy hair, and said softly.
Li Wan snorted, his voice filled with tears, as if he was not responding.
Jia Heng stared at the young woman Hua Xin who had softened into a ball of mud, her eyes full of shame and joy, having a snowball fight, and said helplessly: "I really have to go, this time... don't give her away."
Sending them away, they were all put on the same bed.
Li Wan: "..."
The young woman Huaxin was extremely embarrassed. She really didn't mean to seduce her just now... And what does this helpless tone mean?
Just when I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a movement in my heart, and then I felt a little uncomfortable, and the gurgling force continued unabated.
Jia Heng took the robe from the side and put it on quickly, took the quilt and covered the young woman Hua Xin, then quickly left Daoxiang Village and walked along the stone path towards Qichi Courtyard.
He definitely can't stay in Daoxiang Village.
But tomorrow, I may need to meet Ms. Cao and ask her what she wants?
Not mentioning Jia Heng's departure, but saying that Li Wan opened his eyes at this moment and didn't come back to his senses for a while. In addition to the smell of sandalwood, there was also a disturbing smell in the room.
At this moment, Li Wan was no longer sleepy, and all the alcoholism was dissipated with the dripping sweat, and the strands of sweat on the temples were attached to the beautiful face, which was as crimson as the clouds, and the rose-red aura was on it. Her jade-white skin looked like bright peach blossoms.
"well……"
Li Wan sighed quietly, couldn't help but caress his slightly swollen belly with his bare hands, and spat secretly.
Thinking of the lingering and unprecedented fullness, my heart was already swaying, as if the gentle words of the calm young man were still ringing in my ears, making people intoxicated.
Just listening to the north wind whistling outside, I suddenly felt a sense of sourness and sadness in my heart, and tears seemed to flow from the corners of my eyes.
Of course, they were definitely not tears of humiliation, but indescribable sadness and sadness.
I was really frustrated and crazy before, but no matter how crazy I am, I am only crazy this time, it is just a dream.
The young woman Hua Xin closed her eyes slightly, her heart filled with emptiness, she pulled over the thick quilt and fell into a deep sleep.
