Ningguo Mansion, Grand View Garden, Hengwu Garden
It was near Haishi, Daiyu and Baochai were talking softly, and unaware that the time was getting late, Daiyu said softly: "Sister Bao, I'm going back first, let's talk tomorrow."
Daiyu didn't know how she felt. She should have been extremely embarrassed, but now she was talking to Sister Bao for a long time.
At this time, Jia Heng also brought two cups of tea, moved over, looked at Daiyu, and asked: "Sister Lin, are you leaving?"
Daiyu nodded, covered her mouth and smiled softly, and said, "Brother Heng, please spend more time with Sister Bao today."
"Then I'll see Sister Lin off." Jia Heng said, giving Baochai a reassuring look, and accompanied Daiyu out of the wing.
The two of them walked slowly along the corridor with the wind lanterns hanging on them. The summer breeze carrying the gentle rain blew in, and the coolness hit them both physically and mentally.
Daiyu said gently and gently: "Okay, Brother Heng, please go back quickly."
Jia Heng looked at Daiyu, looked into her shining starry eyes, and said softly: "I will talk to my sister tomorrow."
Daiyu said "hmm" and called Zijuan and Xiren to leave.
After seeing off the lantern raised by Daiyu and disappearing through the Moon Gate, Jia Heng turned back and returned to the wing, feeling a little happy.
On the bed with the curtains hanging down, Baochai's plump cheeks were as red as the clouds, and her soft voice was filled with a hint of anger, and she said, "Brother Heng, how did you bring Sister Lin here?"
If she hadn't been quick to spot an opportunity, she would have caught her unawares.
Jia Heng said softly: "You usually play together, but Sister Lin won't laugh at you even if she sees you. Okay, this is cheese tea, take a sip."
As he spoke, he handed over two cups of tea.
Baochai said "hmm", took the tea cup, and drank it all in one gulp. Her plump, pink and slightly baby fat face was covered with sweat. Under her Cuiyu eyebrows, her moist apricot eyes were bright and crystal clear, and she said: "Zi'er has always been a carefree person. She's not sure what to think anymore."
"I see that Sister Lin is much better than she was two years ago." Jia Heng took the tea cup and put it on the small table aside. He sat on the bed, took off his shoes and socks, lifted the quilt, entered the bed, and hugged Bao. Chai's fragrant shoulders asked in a low voice: "What were you two talking about just now?"
Baochai's white, snow-skinned jade face was as red as drunkenness, and a slight smile appeared in her shining eyes, and she said softly: "I didn't say anything."
It was just a casual chat.
Jia Heng stared at Baochai and said softly: "Okay, it's getting late, let's take a rest first."
As he spoke, he gently stroked the girl's plump cheek, feeling a little nostalgic about sleeping in the same bed with Baochai after a long time.
Baochai's heart was sweet and happy, she leaned her head on Jia Heng's chest and whispered: "Husband, when are you free to take a look at the account books from the past few days?"
Jia Heng hugged Baochai's soft and greasy body, which was almost like cotton. The fragrance of cold scented pills and powdered powder floated gently under his nose, and said: "I've been a little busy in the past few days, just help me take care of it. "
Baochai's crystal jade face was full of tranquility and she said: "Husband, please tell me about the war."
Maybe it's because the two of them have a physical relationship, and Baochai, who knows how beautiful the flowers are even when they are indifferent, is more affectionate than before, and is more attached to Jia Heng.
Jia Heng was surprised and asked, "Didn't Xiangyun tell me that when I asked about it that day?"
Baochai took Jia Heng's hand and said coquettishly, "I want to hear my husband tell me."
Jia Heng chuckled lightly, piled a snowman, and said warmly: "Well, then let me see where to start."
Baochai is really the ceiling of the obese world. When touched, it feels soft, like a white cat.
When looking for a wife, you should still look for someone who is slightly chubby and more comfortable to hold.
Jia Heng said softly: "Let's just talk about the Jurchen's defeat this time. The Jurchen's vitality is seriously damaged. They should not dare to invade the south in 32 years. However, the Jurchen domestically elected the kings, Prince Rui Dorgon and Huang Taiji's eldest son Hao Geshi. Same as fire and water.”
Under Baochai's curved eyebrows, her moist apricot eyes showed a hint of thought, and she asked with concern: "My husband has been granted the title of Duke this time, so he should be able to rest for a while."
Jia Heng said: "I guess I can't rest, but I have to hide my strength and bide my time for a while. After the middle of the month, I will go to the south of the Yangtze River and take a boat to inspect Denglai, Tianjin and other Wei ports. You can also go to Jinling by then." Play for a while.”
Baochai said softly, "Hmm", her moist apricot eyes could not help but see the look of obsession, and she held Jia Heng's hand a little tighter.
This is her man, who is worried about military and national affairs that determine the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty.
Jia Heng said softly: "Sister Xue, wait a year or two, there will be a lot of wars, and we may not be together all the time. It's okay for you and Sister Lin to get along together."
Baochai gave a soft "hmm" and said softly: "Husband, Sister Qin has a child. Husband, please spend more time with her these days."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Yes, I will stay with you more."
As he spoke, he gently stroked Baochai's face and said, "I've really suffered a lot from you these past years."
Facing that warm gaze, Baochai said softly: "It's not bitter."
If I had been with him earlier, maybe it wouldn't have been delayed until today, seeing a person coming from behind.
Just like that, time flew by, the sound of rain hitting the plantains in the square courtyard gradually stopped, and the two people who had just confirmed their relationship fell asleep hugging each other, and the sound of even breathing came from the curtains.
next day
The weather is still a little gloomy, with thick lead-colored dark clouds covering the entire sky. Last night, a sudden rainstorm wetted the houses and rockeries. The lush trees were dripping green, and the rainwater in the water tank under the eaves of the corridor was also wet. It had already been filled up and overflowed along the edge, dripping onto the ground paved with blue bricks.
Above the bamboo forest, the rain and dew on the branches and leaves rolled slowly, fell suddenly, and hit the unkempt grass.
Jia Heng got up from the bed, lifted the quilt on his body, and the chubby girl next to him opened his eyes and stared at Jia Heng.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "You sleep a little longer today, and I'll come back later."
Baochai said softly, "Hmm". On her slender face, the light blush from yesterday seemed to still remain, and she said shyly: "Husband, why don't you help me up too? Maybe there will be another sister later." It’s time to come over and visit.”
Jia Heng said: "Well, that's fine. Let's have a meal together before we leave. I'll wait for Sister Xue to get up first."
With that said, he helped Baochai get up, picked up the clothes from the side and handed them to Baochai.
"Husband, just let Ying'er come." Baochai said softly, feeling sweet in her heart when she saw the young man busy.
Ying'er obviously heard what was going on in the side room, so she entered the back room, blushing, and asked: "Girl, are you awake?"
Baochai said softly: "Ying'er, help me get up and prepare some hot water. I'll take a bath and change clothes later."
Ying'er responded softly, then packed up her clothes and helped Baochai change.
Baochai got up and came to the dressing table. Just as she was about to tie up her hair, she heard the young man say: "Just a girl's hair bun will be fine. It won't be too late after we go to the church to get married."
"Yes." Baochai said softly. The bronze mirror reflected a face as red as peach blossoms, and her brows and eyes seemed to be overflowing with the charm of a first-time wife.
Jia Heng took a beaded hairpin from the brocade box and said, "Your room is too plain and elegant. Please put more furnishings later."
Baochai chuckled and said, "I usually don't like these."
Jia Heng watched Baochai finish dressing.
At this time, Ying'er and Baochai's other maid Wen Xing entered the hall carrying plates with dishes and placed them on the tables. The aroma of the food gradually spread.
Jia Heng and Baochai washed up, sat down at the table, picked up their chopsticks and ate their food.
Baochai asked, "Husband, can you have some free time these days?"
Jia Heng said softly: "I just came back. I'm not in a hurry for errands, but I need to go to Beijing Camp in the next few days."
Baochai said: "Ying'er, go and get the account books for the last six months. They are in the cabinet in the study."
Ying'er responded and turned around. After a while, she returned with the account book.
Jia Heng said: "I told you to take care of it, why did you bring it over again?"
Baochai whispered: "Husband, you should at least take a look."
Jia Heng had no choice but to let Baochai take care of the account book and briefly read it. He smiled and praised: "You have taken care of these businesses in an orderly manner."
Baochai smiled and said, "Husband, it's fine if nothing goes wrong."
This should be the marriage life she yearns for.
At this moment, Ying'er entered the hall and said, "Uncle, Mistress Lian has sent someone over to find the uncle to discuss ancestor worship."
Jia Heng looked stunned and asked, "I'm going over right now. Where is he?"
What is there to discuss about ancestor worship? Set a date and he will go there.
"Uncle, Second Mistress Lian is waiting at the concave crystal pavilion right now." Mammy said softly.
Jia Heng composed himself, repeated the words "Xiaao Jing Guan" in his heart, and then said goodbye to Baochai.
concave crystal hall
This is a wooden waterside pavilion, surrounded by water on three sides, with fields of lotus leaves, gentle breeze, and sparkling lake surface.
The dark brown plaque is inscribed in dark green ink with the three characters "Aojingguan", which is exactly what is mentioned in the couplet of "Aojingguan" in the original book Red Mansions: "The shadow of the crane is crossed on the cold pond, the soul of the flower is buried in the cold moon" The place.
Because of the cool breeze in summer, the heat that had been brewing in the halls of the waterside pavilion for many days has slowly dissipated.
Sister Feng is sitting on a pearwood chair with a backrest. The young woman in Huaxin is wearing a pomegranate red double-breasted jacket. Her clothes are thin, and the soft snow-white hair under her beautiful neck is looming, and her oval-seed face has been covered with a thin layer of rouge without knowing when, and her curves are The red phoenix eyes under the curved eyelashes flicker with charming charm.
Not far from Sister Feng, Ping'er, a personal maid, stood looking out from time to time.
Suddenly, steady footsteps came from outside one after another. Sister Feng raised her eyebrows and quickly put down the tea cup in her hand. She followed the sound and saw the young man in python suit walking in with a majestic appearance and looking forward to Zixiong.
I don't know if it was Sister Feng's illusion, but I felt that there seemed to be an indescribable aura surrounding that clear and stern face.
Sister Feng's eyes couldn't help but freeze for a bit, and the embroidered shoes under her skirt couldn't help but move closer together.
Jia Heng stared at Sister Feng, with a calm expression on her face, and said, "Sister-in-law Feng."
Sister Feng stood up quickly. The two crisp, full moons seemed to be trembling a little. She looked at the young man with a bright smile on her face and said softly: "Brother Heng is here? I was about to say something about ancestor worship." When will Brother Heng prepare to take care of things these days?"
Jia Heng said softly: "Sister-in-law Feng, just choose an auspicious day. The main thing is not to conflict with the wedding day in the middle of the month."
When Sister Feng heard this, her face was as beautiful as a peach and plum, and she smiled sweetly, and her voice was charming and soft, and she said: "I also have the same idea, that is the middle of the month, there are still seven or eight days, so let's do it, let's set it for tomorrow, that's right An auspicious day."
Jia Heng nodded, sat down, and cast his eyes as calmly as the cold pond in an ancient well at the young woman with flowers, and asked: "Sister-in-law Feng, let's settle it like this. Doesn't Sister-in-law Feng have other things to do?"
"I know I can't hide it from Brother Heng." Sister Feng couldn't help but smile when she met the scrutinizing gaze. With a burst of fragrant wind blowing her nose, she sat close and said softly: "Isn't this my brother? His business has already started. Yes, I just want to ask your opinion."
Jia Heng put down the tea cup and said, "Then Sister-in-law Feng, come with me."
Hearing this, Sister Feng's heart skipped a beat. She hesitated for a moment, got up lightly, and followed Jia Heng towards the inner room. As for Ping'er, she looked around and quickly tiptoed at the door. It was windy, and half of her beautiful cheeks were already red.
Jia Heng walked around a wooden mountain and river screen, slowly took a seat on a pearwood chair next to the small table, looked at the beautiful young woman from Huaxin, and said softly: "Sister-in-law Feng, sit down."
Sister Feng sat down slowly, her posture was elegant, her beautiful and bright jade face was covered with a slight smile, she was fanning herself with a fan, but the sweat from her temples to her chin still fell on her beautiful neck. .
The young woman's face was full of smiles, and she said with a chuckle: "Brother Heng, the business my brother is doing now usually doesn't have many customers, so he is worried about it."
Jia Heng frowned and asked: "Sister-in-law Feng, I don't know much about the ways of merchants and goods. Isn't it that Sister-in-law Feng asked me the wrong person?"
With one glance, he could catch Sister Feng's erotic desire hidden in the depths of her eyes, and it was inevitable that he felt a little amused.
The smile on Sister Feng's face never diminished, and she said: "Brother Heng is not an important official in the court, so he cannot be ignorant of these merchants' ways. I am treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor."
With that said, he put down the tea cup and put a plain hand on the small table.
She didn't know what she was doing, she just wanted to come and see him.
"Then I'll think of something." Jia Heng nodded, and couldn't help but reach out and hold the slender hand. It was slightly cool to the touch, and there seemed to be some sweat seeping out of the soft palm.
Sister Feng's delicate body trembled slightly, as if she had been electrocuted, and half of her oval-shaped face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. Her heart was beating wildly, but she did not pull away. She just sat upright and let the young man play with her. .
Jia Heng said: "Sister-in-law Feng, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year, right?"
In fact, I do miss the feeling of skin-to-skin contact that night. Sister Feng is indeed as good as her name.
"Well, we haven't seen each other for half a year." Sister Feng bit her lower lip, her cheeks were as red as clouds, and her voice was trembling a little.
Jia Heng let go of Sister Feng's hand and said softly: "Sister-in-law Feng...do you miss me?"
Sister Feng couldn't help but turn her charming face over and saw that the young man was already holding her hand and stood up.
Immediately, as if her body was out of control, she was gently taken away, stood up from her seat, and in the blink of an eye, she had stumbled into the arms of the boy in the python suit. Sister Feng's heart was suddenly in a state of confusion, and she was no longer in her usual laughing and cursing mood.
"Brother Heng, you... um~~" Sister Feng raised her gorgeous face and was about to say something when she saw the warm breath coming towards her face, and then an irresistible invasion came from Tan's mouth. .
Unscrupulous, the wind blows and the clouds remain.
Sister Feng snorted, symbolically declined, and quickly closed her eyes. Then a feeling of dizziness came over her, and her mind was already in a turbulent sea.
This man was a young prince, and it was hard for her to offend him.
Sister Feng said this to herself solemnly in the midst of the lightning flash, but not long after, for some unknown reason, her hands unconsciously climbed up the waist of the boy in the python suit.
Jia Heng held Sister Feng's shoulders with both hands, looked at each other and asked, "Sister-in-law Feng, do you miss me?"
Sister Feng looked at each other and seemed to be burned by the gaze. She stepped aside, opened her slightly pink lips and whispered: "No, no..."
However, Sister Feng's delicate body suddenly trembled, and it was clear that something strange was happening in front of her. Her eyes opened slightly, and she looked at the young man who was leaning over to eat the snow with a mixture of shame and annoyance.
"Brother Heng, don't... don't act recklessly." Sister Feng's heart skipped a beat, clearly sensing the changes in the snowman, her voice gradually started to tremble, and she could hardly control herself.
At this moment, Jia Heng stood up, leaned close to the beauty's ear, and whispered: "Sister-in-law Feng, how about I leave first?"
Sister Feng: "???"
This man kissed and touched her, took advantage of her, and now he told her to leave?
Catching a hint of anger in the beauty's eyebrows, Jia Heng hugged Sister Feng into his arms again, feeling her plump and delicate body trembling in his arms. He pinched Sister Feng's smooth and white chin and asked: " Sister-in-law Feng, what are you busy with at home recently?"
This made Sister Feng feel a sense of humiliation and indescribable strangeness in her heart. Her cheeks were so rosy as the clouds, and her usually sharp red eyes did not dare to look at Jia Heng's eyes and lowered her gaze.
But her voice still had a bit of coquettishness, and she said in a trembling voice: "I haven't been busy with anything these days. I am chatting with the old lady and taking care of the business in the house. I can't compare to Brother Heng who is fighting outside, huh~"
But that person came closer again and pressed his lips together.
Sister Feng didn't know what to do, so she closed her eyes again and cursed in her heart. It was this bastard who forced her, not her unruly behavior.
After a moment, Jia Heng separated the two soft petals and took Sister Feng's slender hand. There was a slight sweat on the palm. He hugged Sister Feng's waist from behind, moved it to the side of her beautiful neck, and asked: "Sister-in-law Feng said. The business of Brother Wang Ren’s shop was not very good just now?”
Sister Feng's delicate body trembled, and she was obviously being teased. She pursed her pink lips and said in a charming voice: "Brother, he is not very good at doing this kind of business. The business has been bleak recently. Brother Heng said that the sea trade business , can you ask my brother to also help out?"
Jia Heng built a snowman and asked: "Sister-in-law Feng, originally let him do the sea trade business, sister-in-law Feng didn't tell him?"
Sister Feng is plump and, in the words of the original Red Mansions, slim and coquettish, with not a trace of fat around her waist, especially her plump and round figure sitting on her knees, separated by the thin summer clothes, there are many things that ordinary people can't match.
He was already in his prime of life, but within a short time, he had an arrow on his bow and had to take action.
Sister Feng also felt the throbbing of the young man behind her. Her heart was beating wildly, and she almost trembled on the spot. She lowered her head slightly and said with a hint of panic in her voice: "Brother Heng, brother, he is still thinking about the gambling house business. I have persuaded him." A few times, Brother Heng just ignored him."
Jia Heng gently untied the beauty's skirt and said, "The gambling house business is an unscrupulous business, and our family is not to be messed with."
Sister Feng said "Yes" and said softly: "Brother Heng said that I didn't let go of the usury money back then."
The young woman Huaxin said, her tone seemed like a child showing off her achievements to adults.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Feng has made much progress compared to before."
As he spoke, he asked deliberately: "Why isn't Sister-in-law Feng wearing her official uniform today?"
Sister Feng: "..."
What kind of imperial edict? Thinking about the past, I couldn't help but feel an unspeakable shame deep in my heart.
It couldn't be said that it was her fault at the beginning. Besides, even if it was her fault, it was a mistake last time and now... But he took the initiative to hug her.
In the midst of such wild thoughts, my mind trembled, and I felt an indescribable tremor that ran through my body and mind.
Jia Heng leaned into Sister Feng's ear and asked, "Sister-in-law Feng, have you missed me at home these days?"
When Sister Feng heard this, her cheeks turned red with shame and her eyes were as bright as water. She didn't want to answer at first, but she still couldn't help but cursed: "Who misses you!"
What is this bastard asking, and how should she answer it?
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Feng doesn't admit it."
Without saying much, he extended two fingers.
Hearing this, Sister Feng looked at the young man who was suddenly separated from each other. His beautiful cheeks were like burning clouds. She could no longer hold back her embarrassment and said angrily: "You... shut up."
Just as he was about to say something, he felt his mind tremble. He was being lifted up. Just as he was wondering, his heart suddenly trembled.
Sister Feng frowned slightly and looked at her with anger.
Jia Heng asked: "Isn't this why Sister-in-law Feng is looking for me?"
The golden hairpin tassels in Sister Feng's hair were swinging on the swing, her charming cheeks were red, she was slightly breathless, and she said angrily: "Who is doing it for this? It's obviously you who forced me."
This man bullied her and even beat her up.
Who said it was a dream in the first place? Now he's bullying her again?
However, at this moment, she felt that the young man suddenly paused. Sister Feng bit her pink lips for a moment, and her originally slightly narrowed red eyes gradually opened up, and her charming eyes were full of doubts.
Jia Heng said: "I'm a little tired. Since Sister-in-law Feng doesn't like it, let's forget it, right?"
Sister Feng: "..."
Ah, how can I be tired? Forget it? Is this neither good nor bad?
Immediately, he realized that the person behind him was deliberately teasing him, and secretly cursed, he must see her ugly appearance, right?
However, as Jia Heng said, Sister Feng suddenly felt the wind coming from the air, and her mind paused, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Sister Feng was very worried. How could this bastard do this for his own sake?
Jia Heng put his ear to Sister Feng's ear and joked: "Sister-in-law Feng, why don't we just forget it."
Sister Feng snorted coldly and didn't say a word. However, she grabbed Jia Heng's hand and refused to let go.
But not long after, he saw the young man suddenly turned around and hugged him from the front.
Sister Feng was stunned, Danfeng's eyes were full of doubts, her beautiful eyebrows suddenly frowned, and she looked at the young man with shame and annoyance. The sweat on her temples had already washed away the makeup.
In the midst of doubts, he suddenly stood up, quickly put his arms around Jia Heng's neck, and exclaimed: "Brother Heng, what are you doing?"
Jia Heng didn't say much and walked toward the inner room.
Sister Feng was so embarrassed that she quickly put her arms around the young man's neck and leaned her head against Jia Heng's arms, cursing secretly in her heart.
