Zilingzhou
Xiuju snorted coldly and said: "Girl, these servants just see the girl's soft temper, so they get used to picking on Qiao. The girl should follow the rules of the master in the future."
Yingchun sighed and said with emotion: "How many men are in the back house and can't control these hot things, let alone me?"
Jia Heng said: "Second sister, you can't think like that. You are the master, and you have to show your dignity as a master. If someone bullies you, hit her in the face severely. The more you try to calm things down, the more she will bite her on the nose." Face."
He didn't expect Yingchun to step out of her comfort zone with just a few words, but mainly planted a seed.
After saying that, he looked at the girl and said softly: "Second sister will still have to take care of the house in the future. In a few days, your sister Bao will teach you and give you a batch of things to do. You will also be able to practice your ability to kill decisively." To come.”
The environment in which Yingchun grew up did not allow her to develop a strong character. She could change that the day after tomorrow and let Baochai or Sister Feng teach her.
Hearing this, Yingchun's face paused slightly, she raised her bright eyes as bright as the bright moon, and whispered: "Brother Heng, I...I can't take care of it."
Jia Heng smiled, with encouragement in his warm eyes, and said: "You can practice slowly, Xiuyan, you can also help my second sister."
With that said, he turned to look at Xing Xiuyan.
Xing Xiuyan was listening to the young man's words, and peeked at the young man's handsome and graceful face. When he heard the words, his beautiful face paused slightly, turned around, and said "hmm" quickly.
Jia Heng said: "Xiuyan, what's going on here? You can just send a maid to look for me in the front yard. There's no need to see me outside."
"I know." Xing Xiuyan said "Oh" in response to Jia Heng's words.
Jia Heng looked at Xing Xiuyan with a hint of emotion in his eyes.
It’s not easy to hold little hands when Yingchun is here.
Several people were talking, and suddenly the sound of coquettish laughter came from outside the building. Then several girls in beautiful flowers entered the Zhujin Building, and their laughter rang like silver bells: "Brother Heng is here."
While talking, I saw several girls, Xiangyun, Tanchun, and Daiyu, coming from outside. It was Xiangyun who spoke.
Xiang Yun came forward with a smile and said, "Brother Heng, why don't you play with me and my third sister?"
Jia Heng stood up, rubbed Xiangyun's bangs, and was also affected by her begonia-like smile. He looked at Xiangyun, Tanchun and Daiyu and said, "Sister Yun, Third Sister, Sister Lin, you guys coming."
The starry eyes under Daiyu Liuye's slender eyebrows flickered slightly, she glanced at Xing Xiuyan, and said with a smile: "Brother Heng is not busy with official duties outside today. This is the time when the second sister and sister Xiuyan are hiding and free. ?”
This is……
Facing the pair of shining starry eyes that wanted to say nothing, Jia Heng looked calm and said with a smile: "Come here to see the second sister. I haven't seen her since I came back."
Since returning to Beijing, Tanchun, Xichun, Youshi, and Yuanyang have not been seen alone yet, and the others have basically been met.
"Why is Sister Lin here?" Jia Heng asked.
In fact, Tanchun, Daiyu, and Xiangyun often came here to visit. As for Baochai, she had a close relationship with Jia Heng the day before yesterday, but she didn't see many people.
Daiyu chuckled and said, "It's cooler here, so I just came here to enjoy the coolness. Brother Heng does the same, right?"
Tanchun looked at the two people talking, his bright eyes flashed, and he sighed quietly in his heart.
She remembers that she was closer to Brother Heng back then, but now...Sister Lin will become her sister-in-law from now on.
Tan Chun Yingli frowned slightly and asked: "Brother Heng, when I just came here, I saw Siqi leading the nanny out and tying up the second sister's nanny. What's going on?"
"I don't usually come to the Grand View Garden, but I didn't expect to encounter an evil slave and bully the master today. Mrs. Xu took advantage of the fact that she was the nanny of the second sister. Her hands and feet were not clean, and she stole the second sister's gold phoenix. Normally, He also secretly took the second sister's clothes to pawn them, exchanged them for money, and then went gambling and drinking. This time I happened upon them, so I helped deal with them." After Jia Heng narrated what happened, he whispered: "I just kicked him out. Outside the house.”
Daiyu looked at Yingchun with concern and said softly: "Second sister has always been generous. After a long time, these people feel easier to bully and have no respect."
Generosity and generosity are all expressions of high emotional intelligence, but the main thing is that they are cowardly and easy to bully.
There was an angry look on Tan Chunying's charming face. The girl who was originally childish and beautiful, as she grew older, had already seen a bit of brilliance, a charm that made people forget the vulgarity. Her voice was delicate and cold: "I usually hear the maid mention that there is such a thing, that Mrs. Xu is tyrannical here just because she has fed the second sister for a few days. The second sister is too tolerant and should have been dealt with harshly long ago. It’s burning.”
Jia Heng said: "Although the government treats me leniently, we don't let these servants ride on the master's head."
In fact, after several rectifications in the Jia Mansion by Jia Heng, this trend has been somewhat curbed, but after all, old habits die hard, and there are still some remnants in places that Jia Heng cannot see.
Tanchun looked at the young man with an apologetic look on his face and said, "Brother Heng, Sister Bao and I didn't control ourselves properly. We didn't want something like this to happen in the garden."
Yingchun took over the conversation and said, "It's not worth the trouble."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be speechless.
Tan Chun felt a little resentful that iron was not as strong as steel and said, "Second sister, if she continues like this, people will pick up the weak ones even more."
She lowered her head in the spring and her cheeks were slightly warm.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Second sister just now already knows how to deal with this kind of thing next time."
Xing Xiuyan saw several people chatting away, Xiuli Lanyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Daiyu.
After all, in the future, I will inevitably pay more attention to the same husband.
Jia Heng said: "You guys just have fun first. I have something else to do, so I won't stay any longer."
In front of Daiyu, she was really worried about mentioning his marriage to Xiuyan later.
The bright starry eyes under Daiyu's smoky brows blinked, she covered her mouth and said with a sweet smile: "It's really strange. Now that we are here, Brother Heng will be in trouble."
Jia Heng: "..."
Are you the only one who is smart? Great wisdom?
I knew the girl was joking.
It was probably because of his past intimacy with Daiyu, and they became a couple. As time went by, Daiyu... stopped pretending.
Jia Heng said: "There is indeed something going on. Let's talk to Sister Lin later."
In front of everyone, Jia Heng said this, but Daiyu's cheeks turned red and she lowered her head, unable to joke anymore.
Xiangyun came over again to join in the fun, with a bright smile on his round, rosy face, and said: "I said the day before yesterday that I would find a powerful brother-in-law Lin to take care of me tomorrow, and I have found him."
Daiyu was greatly ashamed when she heard this and said, "Yun'er is talking nonsense again."
A group of people laughed together.
Yingchun raised her eyes to look at the people who were talking, a happy smile lingering on her plump face.
Jia Heng smiled, raised his eyes to look at Xing Xiuyan, and nodded at the girl who looked like Izumo Zhixiu, but saw that the girl had shyly glanced away.
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he didn't stay long and left the Zhujin Tower in Zilingzhou, intending to look for mandarin ducks.
When many people play together, it is easy to focus on one thing and not the other, making people jealous, unless they are competing in the same bed, and hundreds of rivals are vying for success.
At this moment, the sky is already the time to apply for a license, and it is not yet dusk, but the cool breeze blows through the treetops in the courtyard, which makes you feel cool and comfortable while walking.
Jia Heng was walking along the corridor and was about to look for Jia Mu when he suddenly passed by Daoxiang Village and saw apricot-yellow flags waving in the wind on the treetops, while red apricot branches stuck out from the wall.
The four characters on the forehead are "The apricot curtain is in sight", and on both sides of the door is a couplet: "The new greenery adds to the Huange place, and the good cloud fragrance protects the people picking celery."
Jia Heng's expression couldn't help but pause, and he thought to himself that he could be considered a celery picker.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind the rockery in the distance. Following the sound, he saw Li Wan slowly walking over, followed by two personal maids, Biyun and Suyue.
Li Wan originally comforted Mrs. Wang at noon, and then accompanied Sister Feng to Ningguo Mansion. He had a conversation with Qin Keqing, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You, and then returned to the Grand View Garden when it was time to apply for the license.
"Heng...Brother Heng?" Li Wan raised his eyes and saw the young man, his heart skipped a beat, and his face was as pink as apricot flower and turned as red as rouge.
Why did you meet him here?
Jia Heng looked as if nothing had happened, nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, where did this come from?"
Li Wan lowered his eyebrows and felt his heart tremble slightly. Unconsciously, he felt the urge to urinate in his legs. He calmed down and said softly: "You came from Dongfu, where is Brother Heng?"
"I just went to Zilingzhou to see my second sister," Jia Heng said.
Suyun looked at the young man with joy and said, "Grandma, on such a hot day, why not invite Uncle Heng to come in and sit down, have a sip of tea and rest."
As a personal maid, she also knew that her grandmother had a secret relationship with the Duke in front of her.
Li Wan's pink face was almost as red as a peach blossom. He could only endure a sense of shame and invited: "Brother Heng, come and sit in the room."
"Sister-in-law Wan, please." Jia Heng nodded and followed Li Wan into Daoxiang Village to have fun.
Entering Daoxiang Village, there are two rows of green fences surrounding the couplet huts. The courtyard is divided into acres and acres of land, filled with beautiful vegetables and flowers, just like a bamboo fenced hut.
Jia Heng followed Li Wan, his master and servant, towards the thatched hut in the courtyard. Under his guidance, he passed through the moon gate and entered the wing in the backyard where Li Wan usually lived.
Jia Heng asked curiously: "Why didn't I see Aunt Cao and Wen Qi when I came here?"
Li Wan sat down in a dignified manner, holding a plain silk handkerchief in his hand. Under his curved eyebrows, his beautiful eyes were gleaming, and he said softly: "They are at the old lady's house today, and they haven't come back yet. Woolen cloth."
Su Yun and Bi Yue served fragrant tea, quietly left the hall, and went to the courtyard to watch the wind. For a while, Jia Heng and Li Wan were the only two people left in the room.
Li Wan's face turned a little brighter. He picked up a tea cup in his hand, lowered his head and took a sip. He felt sweat on his palms and his breathing became faster without realizing it.
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and looked around at the furnishings.
The layout of Li Wan's residence can be described as simple. There are not many expensive furniture inside. There are some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. There is also a bookcase on the west window. There are some handwriting hanging on the wall. In terms of handwriting, it is strong and straight, and the facial features are strong and willowy. Bone seems to be... written by Jia Zhu during his lifetime.
Well, there is a seal stamped under the corner, which is Jia Zhu's private seal.
Jia Zhu was a scholar, so naturally he had a handwritten book that survived, and it was clearly hung in the study by Li Wan to see things and think about people.
Jia Heng's eyes were fixed, and something felt strange in his heart. He turned to look at the young woman Hua Xin with warm eyes.
The young woman in Huaxin was wearing a lotus-colored floral embroidered collar and a snow-blue armor, and a frost-colored floral embroidered horse skirt. She exuded a sense of elegance. Because of her shyness, she picked up the tea cup and sipped it gently, not noticing Jia Heng's peculiarity. thought.
Seeing that the young man was silent, Li Wan pursed his pink lips, a slight smile appeared on his gentle face, his voice trembled slightly, and he said softly: "My mother-in-law is also worried about the marriage of her two children today. , Brother Heng, don’t take it to heart.”
Jia Heng looked at the young Hua Xin woman with beautiful eyebrows and eyes covered with a bit of embarrassment. He suddenly felt a little amused and said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, what if I take it to the bottom of my heart?"
He originally thought that after two visits, Li Wan had already turned his attention to him, but it seemed that Li Wan still had more desire for him than love.
Otherwise, Li Wan's calligraphy or couplets should be hanging in his study room where he usually reads poetry books, right?
Li Wan: "..."
I was stunned for a moment, but while I was talking, I saw the young man getting up at some point and coming over.
"Brother Heng." Li Wanfang's heart skipped a beat, her eyebrows were filled with shame, and she said in a trembling voice.
Why did he come here again while talking?
I couldn't help but think of that day in the narrow and hot toilet of Dongfu. Li Wan lowered his head slightly, tightened his legs under the horse-faced skirt a little, and his face was as bright and delicate as the apricot blossoms spraying like clouds.
The first time she was born and the second time she was familiar, Hua Xin's young wife could not refuse Jia Heng, or she had already recognized Jia Heng's obsession with her body.
Jia Heng gently stretched out his hand to pinch the beauty's smooth and round chin, and looked at the gentle and elegant face. The young woman's skin was smooth and smooth to the touch, and under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows, her eyes were filled with panic. , shy.
Jia Heng looked calm and asked softly: "The second wife is a mother-in-law. I don't know how powerful the wife is. What should I do as a daughter-in-law?"
At this moment, Li Wan was being looked down upon, and he felt ashamed in his heart. In addition, there was something indescribable about it, and his voice had become more charming without knowing when, and he said in a trembling voice: "Zi Yu, what do you want me to do? Hmm~"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the familiar soft and hot breath coming towards his face, his lips were pursed, and he was quickly annihilated in the torrent of the river.
Jia Heng held the delicate Li Wan's shoulders, looked at the young Hua Xin woman with fair cheeks and rosy skin, and gently rubbed Li Wan's face. He felt a subtle touch, and a delicate fragrance like orchid and musk floated. Yu Nozhi said softly: "Sister-in-law, do you want to apologize to me on behalf of the second wife?"
"Apologise?" Li Wan was kissed by the young man, and the sweetness and shyness in his heart were intertwined. He lowered his head, twitched his pink lips, and said in a trembling voice: "How to apologize?"
Jia Heng hugged Li Wan and sat in his arms. The young woman Hua Xin's heart skipped a beat. Her delicate body first straightened up and then softened into a ball of mud. She felt like her heart was pounding like a deer.
Such an apology, she...she admitted it.
Li Wan was suddenly startled. It was obvious that his placket had been unbuttoned, and his neck had to be raised slightly. He snorted from the wings of his nose. He quickly stretched out his hand to touch the young man's shoulder and secretly said something wrong.
After a while, Jia Heng finished eating the snow, but instead of doing what he did before, he leaned close to the beauty's already moist earlobe and whispered a few words.
Under Li Wan's beautiful eyebrows, his beautiful eyes that were originally closed widened, seeming a little unbelievable.
Let her serve him in imperial uniform next time?
What about today...
Jia Heng said warmly: "Sister-in-law Wan, isn't it that you want to wait for Brother Lan to become famous and be conferred a royal title one day? It can be regarded as fulfilling Sister-in-law Wan's wish first."
Happiness that is too easy is often not cherished.
I originally wanted to think about wearing a wedding dress, but after thinking about it, I realized that this might be a bit difficult for Li Wan to accept, so I shouldn't act too hastily.
Li Wan's pretty face was flushed with powder, and the pink lips under her nose were slightly open. Her heart was startled, and she endured the shame that was brewing in her heart, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "That imperial service... is not good. Looking for it.”
She is not the royal wife, and she does not have such imperial uniforms in her wardrobe, so why should she look for imperial uniforms?
Could it be that...he was promising her?
Thinking of this, Li Wanfang was filled with surprise and joy. If this were the case, Lan'er's future would be much easier.
Jia Heng pinched the beauty's chin again, looked at her charming face, and said warmly: "Just let someone tailor it. This is not a taboo thing, and it's not like wearing it out and making others laugh."
Li Wan gave a soft "hmm" and turned his flaming face slightly to the side. Deep in his heart, he felt nervous and slightly expectant.
But after a while, the young man did not make any move, and Fangxin felt anxious and ashamed for a moment.
Since this person didn't... come here to tease her.
In fact, this also shows that Li Wan has more desire than love for Jia Heng.
Jia Heng stared at the beauty with resentment in her eyebrows and said, "Sister-in-law, you have to do me a favor."
I was obsessed with it for a while, but there was something a little strange about it.
Li Wan looked surprised, and her beautiful eyes reflected a trace of doubt. What could she do to help him?
But I heard that young man whispering a few words in his ear.
Under Li Wan's beautiful eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were filled with shame and anger, her heart was filled with embarrassment, and her gentle face was as red as rouge.
She has never used these charming tricks to please others.
I was already too embarrassed to see anyone in the toilet that day, so why...
The young woman was originally from a famous official in Jinling and came from a well-educated family. She grew up studying at a young age, so how could she know those charming tricks of being articulate and gossiping.
In other words, in the past, almost like Sister Feng, or even worse than Sister Feng, Jia Zhu was also a person who observed etiquette, was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and did not dare to behave in a dissolute manner.
"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?" Jia Heng reminded her twice.
Li Wan was struck by lightning, his delicate body trembled, his pink cheeks turned red with embarrassment, he closed his beautiful eyes, and whispered with a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, I...I can't do it."
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the young woman Hua Xin, with a calm expression on her face, and said in a clear voice: "Sister-in-law, I'll leave first."
Li Wan suddenly felt panic in his heart. Without thinking, he said urgently: "Brother Heng, don't..."
This injustice!
Jia Heng looked at Li Wan and said softly: "Sister-in-law Wan, please hurry up. Aunt Cao and sisters Wen Qi will be back later."
In fact, Suyun and Biyue were watching outside at this moment, and Cao knew the inside story last time, so they probably wouldn't come in to break it.
Li Wan sighed quietly, her face was red, her pink lips bit her teeth slightly, she closed her eyes, lowered her head, a beaded flower pinned between her bun was shy and trembling, her delicate hands trembled. He looked a little at a loss.
Jia Heng did not rush, but untied his clothes and said, "I will go to Jiangnan in a while. If my wife has nothing to do in Beijing, she can go south to visit relatives. I haven't been to Jiangnan for several years. Uncle Li Now Anhui is governor of a province."
Li Wan snorted and lowered her hair into a bun.
In fact, in the dead of night when there was no one around, Li Wan also looked at some miniature picture albums.
Jia Heng lowered his eyes, with a hint of surprise on his face, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't close your eyes, don't get hurt."
Hearing this, Li Wan slowly opened his eyes with curved eyelashes. Lilacs and wisterias were wrapped around the trees. The breeze was blowing, and the branches and leaves were swaying.
After a long time, I didn't know whether it was due to lack of oxygen or other reasons, but I just felt dizzy, confused, and didn't know my way back.
Li Wan suddenly remembered that many years ago, he secretly drank wine behind his father's back at home. He felt drunk and had a pounding heart.
I don't know how long it took, but Jia Heng looked at the beauty who had a trembling hairpin in her lush hair.
It is true that I have never had such an experience before, and it is extremely strange.
Jia Heng took Li Wan's hand and said warmly: "Okay, Wan'er."
This sweet sentence almost made Hua Xin's young woman's heart tremble. The grievance that was brewing in her heart because of her sore legs disappeared instantly. She said with shame and anger: "You...you will abuse others."
Why does this person like to see her make a fool of herself?
Jia Heng pulled Li Wan and sat in his arms, looked at his face as red as drunkenness, and said softly: "Wan'er, then you can do it yourself this time."
Li Wan's cheeks were red and her face was confused. She immediately understood what she meant and secretly cursed in her heart, why did she let her do it by herself? Wasn't this person obsessed with you last time?
Her gentle face, as charming as a spring flower, was filled with shame and anger, this man was trampling her again!
But just after all the hard work, Hua Xin's young wife was already filled with emotions. She could only bear the shame, smash the jar, sheath the sword.
Anyway, this person had seen her in her most embarrassing state the day before yesterday? She has long been too embarrassed to see anyone.
Jia Heng hugged Li Wan tightly and asked seriously, "Has there been any news about uncle's return recently?"
Li Wan rested his head on Jia Heng's shoulder, looked calm, and said in a trembling voice: "I haven't seen any letters during this time."
Suddenly, I was startled, and it was clear that my gaze was a little higher at some point.
