Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall
Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing Wang were talking to Mrs. Liang. After a while, the maid said with a smile: "Old lady, Miss Yun, Miss Second, Miss Three, Miss Qin and Miss Lin are here."
It was impossible for Xiangyun not to come out and meet someone from the Shi family. Originally, he, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Baoqin were chatting with Daiyu in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. After hearing the maid's report, they came over to chat with Shi Nai's wife. Liang.
Mother Jia smiled and said: "Girl Yun, the three girls are here. Go and call girl Feng and ask her to come and talk too. Everyone will be more lively here."
A nanny responded in a low voice, and then went to call Sister Feng.
Xiangyun is wearing a bright red background with a white bamboo leaf print collared long coat, and a white long skirt. The bright red skirt is bright in color, making the girl look like a begonia flower in full bloom. The petals are plump and delicate, and she quickly enters In the hall, he saluted Jia Mu and called: "Old Ancestor."
Jia Mu looked at Xiangyun with a smile. She had a charming face with shallow dimples, showing her lovely apple muscles. She was holding a Xiangfei fan in her chubby little hand.
Bao Yatou is now with Brother Heng, and Qin Yatou's family is not in a hurry. Then Yun Yatou and Baoyu seem to be a good match. They seem to be quite young. If the marriage can be settled early, she will feel relieved. .
Mrs. Liang looked at Xiangyun, her eyes flashed with strange colors, and she had a kind smile on her face: "Old lady, it seems that Girl Yun has grown much taller here than she did at home. She is almost a big girl. .”
At this time, Xiang Yun stepped forward in a polite manner, saluted Mrs. Liang and said, "Yun'er has met my aunt."
Mrs. Liang helped Xiangyun up with both hands and said with a smile: "Good boy, get up quickly."
Tanchun, Baoqin, Yingchun and Daiyu also came to see the gift.
Jia Mu looked at the people and said in surprise: "Why don't you see Bao Yatou?"
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Yes, why didn't Bao girl come over?"
Daiyu's starry eyes flashed under her smoky eyebrows, she covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Sister Bao has been busy these days with Brother Heng's account books for some of the store's business, checking the accounts."
Jia Mu nodded and said with a smile: "She is quick and capable. Brother Heng found her to be in charge of the external account books, so he found the right person."
In the past, I still didn't understand why Jia Heng let Baochai take care of the outside business. Now I find out that Baochai is Jia Heng's concubine. This is really a good use of his talents.
While everyone was having different thoughts, they suddenly heard the sound of jingling rings, followed by charming smiles.
Sister Feng wears an off-white double-breasted gauze shirt, an off-white embroidered tube top, and a light purple gauze skirt. The beauty has a fair complexion, and her hair is tied up with a phoenix hairpin. A beaded tassel hangs down from her forehead, like a colorful embroidery. The glorious fairy concubine.
Entering the hall, his face looked like peaches and plums, with cherry blossoms in bloom, and he said with a sweet smile: "Old ancestor."
The young woman in Huaxin had obviously taken a bath. The skin on her neck and chest was as white as snow. The red phoenix eyes under the willow eyebrows were charming. Her snow-skinned face was full of beauty and charm. She also held a hand in her hand. Fan Xiang Fei.
Compared to the past, when the red dress of Zhu Shang showed a woman's plumpness, Sister Feng's plump young woman's charm at this moment added a little bit of the youthfulness of a girl.
If Jia Heng were here, Xu might be thinking about catching the train again.
Mother Jia smiled and said, "Girl Feng, I asked you to take care of the celebration of Brother Heng's knighthood. Why are you back now?"
"The old lady wants to listen to the opera. Those little actors have already prepared it. Let them set up on the stage and sing." Sister Feng smiled sweetly and said: "I was thinking that Ke Qing was pregnant. The doctor said that he should rest. It won’t be easy to handle it in Tianxiang Tower.”
Mother Jia nodded and said, "It's important for you to rest. There are a lot of things you need to pay attention to during pregnancy. Brother Heng is busy with things outside. You have to go to Dongfu more often."
Sister Feng smiled brightly and responded softly. She turned to Mrs. Liang, bowed, and sat down again. But just as she sat down, she felt the roundness and curls under her skirt were strange.
She secretly spat in her heart, and she rested for a while before she felt the burning pain.
Sister Feng Danfeng blinked and asked with a smile: "Auntie, are you here?"
Mrs. Liang smiled and said, "This is not your uncle who went to find Brother Heng to talk about the court affairs."
Sister Feng's heart trembled slightly when she heard Jia Heng's name. Her legs swayed under her skirt and they quickly moved closer together. Her eyes, which were originally charming, glowed with luster.
The scene of the fight to the death just now made the beauty unable to control herself. She quickly calmed down and asked with a smile: "Auntie, what are uncle Xunheng and brother doing?"
Liang smiled and said, "I don't know what they are discussing."
Mother Jia smiled and said, "Not long ago, the Wang family's sworn brother and daughter-in-law came over to express their gratitude, saying that their master is now the chief military officer of the Xuan Mansion, thanks to Brother Heng. I don't know what happened."
Liang: "..."
You are really a mature person.
Sister Feng took over the conversation and said with a chuckle: "Old ancestor, I heard that my uncle had made great achievements in the Xuan Mansion, and Brother Heng recommended him to the palace, so he got the job."
Mother Jia nodded and said, "We are relatives. We should help each other even if our bones are broken and our tendons are connected. Brother Heng is cold on the outside and hot on the inside."
As he said that, he glanced at Mrs. Wang who was sitting below.
Mrs. Wang forced a smile on her face and clenched the beads in her hand a little tighter.
Is the old lady setting her on fire again? !
On the other side, Jia Heng returned to Rongqing Hall after meeting Shi Nai.
Entering the hall, one after another eyes were cast on the young man, one of which had a pair of soft and charming eyes that were confused and embarrassed.
Mother Jia had a smile on her face and asked with a smile: "Brother Heng, when are you going to worship your ancestors?"
Jia Heng said: "I told Sister-in-law Feng before that it cannot conflict with the wedding day. When will Sister-in-law Feng decide?"
Well, when he was only focused on lingering, he forgot which day he came to worship his ancestors?
When Sister Feng saw the young man looking at him inquiringly, she felt her heart beating wildly and her legs feeling slightly hot. She tightened her handkerchief in her sleeves and forced a smile to herself: "Brother Heng forgot, we have discussed it, it will be tomorrow."
Mother Jia nodded and said: "The palace will send etiquette officers over in the next few days. Brother Heng will also be more prepared at home. When we wait for the wedding in the middle of the month, we can't let others choose the etiquette."
Jia Heng said no more and sat down.
At this moment, Lin Zhixiao's family entered the Rongqing Hall and said with a smile: "Old lady, the master is back."
After a while, Jia Zheng entered the hall and bowed to Jia's mother.
Jia Mu smiled and said, "Zheng'er, you've come back just in time. Brother Heng, let's have dinner together at noon so we can talk."
Jia Heng glanced at Daiyu who was sitting not far away, met a pair of starry eyes, seemed to wink at him, nodded, and then left the Rongqing Hall with Shi Nai in silence.
Mengpozhai, small study room
Everyone was seated separately, the host and guest were seated, the servant served the tea, and then left the study.
Jia Zheng looked at the young man and said, "Zi Yu, the Secretary of General Affairs' memorials in the past few days have mentioned many things about Shanxi merchants."
After fermentation, the courtiers who had complained about Shanxi merchants had already complained to the court, asking them not to use excessive torture and slaughter of merchants, as they would harm the court's kindness and love for the people.
Jia Heng pondered and said: "In the next few days, the Jinyi Mansion will announce the evidence of these Shanxi merchants colluding with the Donglu and intending to betray the country. Let's see what they have to say then!"
Shi Nai's old eyes were filled with coldness, and he whispered: "Zi Yu, some of them were bribed by Shanxi merchants, and they were worried that they would be implicated, so they protected them in every possible way, hoping that the imperial court would treat them lightly and turn things into a big deal. Small."
Jia Heng said: "It's not easy to investigate the corruption issue right now. Let's implement the case first, and then conduct a thorough investigation to pull out the carrots and bring out the mud."
While several people were talking, the young man entered the study and said, "Master, the food and wine are ready."
Jia Zhengxiang invited: "Brother Shi, have a meal first and talk while eating."
With that said, the three of them had a meal around a table, and the host and guest had a great time. Jia Heng sent Baoling Hou Shi Nai away and did not stay in Mengpo Zhai longer. Instead, he prepared to return to Dongfu along the corridor and write a speech. sparse.
Walking along the flower wall covered with vines, Jia Heng came to a moon gate. Jia Heng was startled for a moment, looked at the visitor with warm eyes and said, "Sister Lin."
At this moment, on the long green-painted corridor, Daiyu stood and stared. The girl was wearing a moon-white pink-collared orchid-embroidered cross-collared long coat, a white cross-collared coat, and a moxa-green long skirt. In the summer, It looks like a watery, pink red lotus.
Daiyu hummed softly, holding the Xiangfei fan in her hand and fanning Xiaohe, who had just revealed her sharp corners. Her starry eyes were condensed and she asked with a smile: "Where are you going, Brother Heng?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Back to Dongfu, my sister is going back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion?"
After saying that, he walked closer, took Daiyu's hand, the hand of the Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass was soft and delicate, and said: "Sister Lin, let's go there together."
Daiyu was startled. She looked around and quickly broke away from Jia Heng. Her starry eyes were filled with annoyance and she said, "Brother Heng, be careful not to let anyone see you."
Xiren and Zijuan held a handkerchief, covered their mouths slightly and smiled, falling a few steps behind, leaving time for the two of them in front of the flowers and under the moon.
Jia Heng chuckled and said, "What can I do if I see you?"
However, she still looked after Dai Yu with a thin face and did not continue to hold hands.
Daiyu and Jia Heng walked along the corridor towards the Grand View Garden. It was summer, and the willow trees beside the rockery were swaying their branches and leaves in the wind, and the chirping of cicadas sounded in their ears, making it increasingly quiet.
The two were walking side by side, and Jia Heng looked at the little girl beside him. Their silhouettes were reflected on the white wall, jumping up and down, high and low, short and long. At this moment, there was actually a bit of college love. a feeling of.
Daiyu's jade face was slightly red, and under her smoky eyebrows, her bright starry eyes seemed to be smiling, and she asked: "Brother Heng, do you have some free time today?"
Jia Heng smiled and said, "I've been quite idle these days. It's already summer. My sister's Xiaoxiang Pavilion is quiet and cool. Let's go over there and talk."
"It's not as cool as Hengwuyuan." Daiyu's affectionate eyes, which seemed to be happy but not happy, gave the boy an angry look. She lowered her eyebrows and held a pink handkerchief in her hand. The sunlight shining through the shade of the willow tree shone on the pink face. On the greasy skin, the small nose, pink lips, and a strand of hair beside the ear reflected a cluster of shadows on the temples and cheeks.
It has to be said that Daiyu's appearance is quite impressive. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has an unrivaled appearance and a beauty that will captivate the country.
It is very in line with the white, thin and thin aesthetics of later Beijing circles.
There is no so-called only shortcoming...maybe it's not pretty enough.
Jia Heng took Daiyu's plain hand and said softly: "Sister, the road under your feet is slippery, so be careful."
Daiyu didn't make a move at this moment, but she was just talking when she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from a distance.
"What did the ancestor say?" Baoyu asked.
Mingyan followed quickly and said, "Uncle Heng has just come back. Tomorrow he will be celebrating and worshiping his ancestors. Second Master Bao can take advantage of the situation and rest at his house for a few more days."
Baoyu smiled bitterly and said: "It is rare for me, a person with no fame or fame, to be able to bear the glory of his Duke Wei."
As they spoke, the two walked around the flower wall and came to the end of the corridor.
Seeing the person coming, Baoyu was startled at first, and then said overjoyed: "Sister Lin, are you here to see our ancestors?"
Jia Heng was not even seen for a while.
Jia Heng: "..."
Daiyu: "???"
"Sister Lin." Baoyu trotted a few steps closer, shaking the purple gold crown with jewels on his head. The face that looked like a full moon was full of smiles. However, before he had gone far, he was struck by thunder, and he immediately stood up. In place.
His eyes fell on the holding hands, and the smile on Baoyu's face gradually faded away. His eyes were full of disbelief, and he felt a faint pain in his heart.
In fact, in the past few months, after Daiyu moved into the Grand View Garden, Baoyu also went to school. When he came back occasionally, he would look in the direction of the Grand View Garden and secretly weep.
Jia Heng held Daiyu's hand without letting go and asked, "Did Baoyu just come back from school?"
Baoyu stood there blankly at this moment. Hearing this, he bowed and said, "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng looked serious and said, "Let's worship our ancestors tomorrow and go see the old lady."
Baoyu looked at Daiyu, his eyes dazed, as if there were thousands of words rolling in his throat.
Daiyu's starry eyes were calm and she said softly: "Brother Bao, the old lady called you just now."
When Baoyu heard the plain and distant voice, his body trembled slightly, and his heart felt like a knife twisting, and he said, "Then I'll go."
With that said, Baoyu looked gloomy, and he and Mingyan left the hall in despair.
Daiyu's cheeks turned red at this moment, her starry eyes looked at the young man, and she said angrily: "Brother Heng, outsiders are here, and you are still holding my hand."
"It's okay, let's go back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion." Jia Heng smiled, stared at the girl with bangs in the air, and gently pinched Daiyu's pink face, which made the latter's starry eyes become angry, and she snorted. , before he noticed, he was already held in the boy's arms.
Jade belts hang in the forest, gold hairpins are buried in the snow.
Daiyu is destined to support her husband and raise her children in this life, and will never die in tears. She will see the prosperity of the world with him.
Well, now holding her petite and exquisite body, she looks like a weak lamb. Daiyu is still a little thin now, so she obviously cannot give birth to children.
Under Daiyu's smoky eyebrows, her starry eyes narrowed slightly, and she felt the love from the heart of the young man. Her face was crimson, and her heart was sweet. Qiongbi snorted, her pink lips parted slightly, and she said: " Brother Heng, how am I going to leave?"
Jia Heng chuckled and joked: "Then I will hold my sister and go?"
Daiyu: "..."
Fortunately, Jia Heng was just talking, and there was no princess holding Daiyu. After a while, Jia Heng let go of Daiyu, took the girl's delicate hand, and asked: "Sister Lin, have you been doing this in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion these past few months?" what?"
Zicuckoo walked a few steps quickly and said softly: "Ever since Uncle Heng led the army to go to war, my girl has been very nervous."
"You don't shed tears every day, do you?" Jia Heng smiled and asked in a low voice.
Zicuckoo smiled and said: "We girls don't cry anymore. Besides, crying is not a good luck."
Jia Heng turned to look at Daiyu, met those starry eyes, and said, "My sister is much more cheerful than before."
Speaking of which, Daiyu is almost reaching the age of hairpin this year.
The two of them walked along the flower wall, and soon took a corridor to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Just as described in the original work, there are three houses, one light and two dark, shaded by thousands of green bamboo poles.
When they arrived at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the girl took the initiative to hold Jia Heng's hand. The beautiful face she turned around was full of concern, and she said softly: "Brother Heng is fighting at the border. Did he not encounter any danger this time?"
Jia Heng said: "Fortunately, we didn't have a head-on confrontation with the enemy this time. Because the slave chief died, the bandits withdrew suddenly."
In fact, the end of this national war with the Jurchens was somewhat accidental and sudden.
While the two were talking, they entered the wing of Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Jia Heng sat down, Zijuan served him some fragrant tea, and then slowly retreated.
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and asked, "Sister Lin, my uncle should be back in two or three days."
Lin Ruhai helped the Jinyi Mansion deal with the Shanxi merchants' treason case. After such a long time, the Shanxi merchants' case was gradually settled, and some properties and property were gradually sealed up, waiting for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to seize and confiscate them.
Daiyu walked up to Jia Heng, with a hint of curiosity in her bright eyes, and asked: "Brother Heng, Sister Bao, she... um~"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the young man had already held her in his arms, and the familiar touch came from his lips, followed by the familiar intimacy, Lilac was wrapped up and drifted with the flow.
Daiyu had been kissed by Jia Heng countless times and had long been used to it. She put her hands on the young man's shoulders, her starry eyes closed slightly, and her eyelashes trembled.
Suddenly, Jia Heng looked at the girl with a slight blush on her face, gently shepherding the lamb, and said softly: "Sister Lin is still young, so there is no need to envy your sister Bao."
Daiyu: "..."
Is she envious?
With this thought, I couldn't help but think of the past pleasure between the two of them, and my heart beat wildly.
Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he leaned close to Daiyu's ear. His hanging hair seemed to have the unique fragrance of Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass. His mind was somewhat erratic, and he asked, "Sister, have you missed me these days?"
"Brother Heng was fighting in Datong. In those few months, not a single letter came." Feeling the lamb's electric shock, Daiyu's cheeks turned crimson, she pursed her pink lips, and her voice was delicate and charming. He complained, his starry eyes twinkling under his smoky brows, and said, "Sister Bao said that writing letters would be distracting and affect the war effort, so we didn't write to Brother Heng."
Jia Heng listened quietly, stretched out his hand and gently pinched Daiyu's chin. The delicate, fat-like touch overflowed on his fingertips. Looking into the shy and timid starry eyes, he explained: "It's not that I can't find time to write, but This battle has attracted too much attention, and letters from home are being sent home one by one, and in the eyes of others, they don’t know how to read it.”
It's not because there are many people or there are more letters to write. It's just that the war with the Jurchen is of great importance and attracts the attention of the whole country. He even wrote to his family members. If it fell into the ears of the palace or some courtiers, how should they treat Yu? he?
"That's what Brother Heng said." Daiyu said softly, lowering her eyes slightly, and the man came closer again.
The girl was feeling shy and happy at the same time. How much did Brother Heng like to kiss her? Without saying a few words, he kissed her.
After a while, looking at the young man's lips that parted suddenly, Daiyu's starry eyes were condensed and she said in a sad voice: "Brother Heng is going to get married to Sister Xianning in a few days."
She didn't know why, but she still felt a little sad every time she thought about it.
Jia Heng held the soft and delicate little hand with one hand, and put the other hand around the girl's shoulder. With a hint of amusement in his warm eyes, he said softly: "Sister, do you want to marry me?"
Speaking of which, he and Daiyu have been together for more than a year, and they have known each other for two or three years.
From the crying girl back then, she gradually became a tall and graceful girl under his care.
And he and Daiyu could be considered to have been in love for more than a year. Except that they were not really married, he and Daiyu slept in the same bed and did everything they should and shouldn't do together. They already knew the basics.
In this era, it is almost time to talk about marriage.
No wonder Daiyu also became anxious.
Because after he got married to Xianning and Chanyue, he would only spend more time with them and spend much less time with Daiyu.
In this case, it would be better to marry him early and have more company as a wife.
Daiyu leaned her beautiful head in Jia Heng's arms, her childish face as red as rouge, and said faintly: "Brother Heng, I'm not young anymore."
Although it has been settled with dad long ago, when can we get married? This year after year.
Moreover, the wedding of tomorrow will be far inferior to Sister Chanyue and the others.
He has now been granted the title of Duke and holds a high and powerful position. Who knows in the future...
In fact, he was also a womanizer, and the time he spent with her in the future was much less than that of Jiang Nan.
Jia Heng gently shepherded the sheep, smiled, and said, "It's not that big."
Daiyu: "???"
He was stunned for a moment. After all, he had been with Jia Heng for a long time, so he realized that it was not that big? Then don't be obsessed with my body. Please take your hands away, right now, right now.
Looking at the girl with slightly pouty pink lips and swollen pink cheeks, Jia Heng chuckled and said: "There is no rush to wait for a year or two. Sister Lin, don't be in a hurry. I If you can think of a way, then I can let my sister marry me gracefully."
As he spoke, he held the light and weightless Daiyu in his arms, lowered his eyes to look at the girl whose cheeks were as bright as the clouds, and said softly: "Actually, Xianning and the others also waited for a long time before waiting for this opportunity."
It can only be said that the wedding to Xianning and Chanyue really stimulated these unique girls in the back house.
Even Daiyu is no exception, and she inevitably feels a little lonely.
"Humph." Daiyu snorted softly, biting her lips, and said angrily: "Then I will wait for the day when Brother Heng marries me in a big sedan chair."
Looking at the slightly cute girl, Jia Heng leaned towards Daiyu's rosy cheek and kissed her.
It can only be said that compared with the gentleness and pleasantness of the young woman, the youthful and beautiful aura of the girl is difficult to replace.
Feeling the young man's pampering and love, Daiyu couldn't hide the joy in her eyes, and sweetness surged deep in her heart. She took out the handkerchief and gently wiped her face, pretending to be disgusted and said: "It's all saliva, it's all wet." My face."
Jia Heng: "..."
Well, I feel that Daiyu is much brighter than before.
Jia Heng chuckled and said: "Sister Lin was not the same last time, she also teased me..."
Dai Yufang was so ashamed that she pinched Jia Heng's hand and said, "Don't... don't say it."
Every time Brother Heng deliberately teases her, she doesn't know what to do, as if she can't control herself.
Afterwards, the two of them talked, laughed, hugged and kissed, and got tired of being together for a while.
Dai Yu's smoky eyebrows were raised, her starry eyes stared intently, and she asked with concern: "Brother Heng, how long will you stay at home after you come back this time?"
"I can rest for a while. Let's go to Jiangnan for a few days later." Jia Heng said with a chuckle, holding Daiyu and heading towards the bed in the inner compartment.
It’s been a long time since I tasted the Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass, and I really miss it.
