Chapter 984 Jia Heng: It's not that big...

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall

Jia's mother and the second wife of King Xing were talking to Mrs. Liang. After a while, the servant girl said with a smile on her face: "Old lady, Miss Yun, Miss Second, Miss Third, Miss Qin, and Miss Lin are here."

It is impossible for Xiangyun not to come out to meet the historian. Originally, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Baoqin accompanied Daiyu in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to talk, and when they heard the maid's report, they came to talk together, and came to see Shi Nai's wife Leung's.

Jia Mu laughed and said, "Girl Yun, the three girls are here, go ask someone to call Girl Feng, and ask her to come and talk too, everyone will be more lively here."

A nanny answered in a low voice, and went to call Sister Feng.

Xiangyun is wearing a long jacket with a white bamboo leaf print on a red background and a long white skirt. The bright red skirt is bright in color, making the girl look like a crabapple flower in full bloom. The petals are plump and delicate, and she enters quickly In the hall, salute to Jiamu and call out: "Old ancestor."

Jiamu looked at Xiangyun with a smile on her face. She had a cute face with shallow dimples, showing cute apple muscles, and she was holding a Xiangfei fan in her chubby little hand.

Girl Bao is now with Brother Heng, and Girl Qin's family is not in a hurry, but Girl Yun and Baoyu seem to be a good match, and she is not too young, if the marriage can be settled early, she will feel relieved .

Mrs. Liang looked at Xiangyun, her eyes flickered, and she had a kind smile on her face: "Old lady, girl Yun looks much taller here than at home, and she is about to become a big girl." .”

At this time, Xiangyun approached in a proper manner, bowed to Mrs. Liang and said, "Yun'er has seen 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 ceremony.

Mother Jia looked at several people and said in surprise, "Why don't you see Bao girl?"

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Yes, why didn't Bao girl come here?"

Daiyu's starry eyes flickered under her smoky eyebrows, she covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Sister Bao has been busy these days with Brother Heng's account books for some shops, and she's checking the accounts."

Jia Mu nodded and said with a smile: "She is quick and capable. Brother Heng asked her to take care of the account books outside, so he found the right person."

In the past, I didn't understand why Jia Heng asked Baochai to take care of the outside business, but now I found out that Baochai was Jia Heng's concubine.

Just when everyone was thinking differently, they suddenly heard the sound of ring pendants jingling, followed by a charming smile.

Sister Feng is wearing an off-white double-breasted gauze shirt, with an off-white embroidered tube top and a light purple gauze skirt underneath. The beauty is fair-skinned, with high temples, tied with phoenix hairpins, and beaded tassels hang down on her bright forehead, like colorful embroidery. Brilliant fairy concubine.

Entering the hall, the face is like peaches and plums, with cherry blossoms, and said with a charming smile: "Old ancestor."

The young woman Huaxin had obviously bathed, the skin on her neck and chest was as white as snow, the red phoenix eyes under the willow brows were charming, her snow-skinned and jade-faced face was full of glamor and coquettishness. Fan Xiangfei.

Compared with the red dress and red dress in the past, it shows a little plumpness of a woman. At this moment, Sister Feng, the charm of a plump young woman has added a little bit of youthfulness of a girl.

If Jia Heng was here, maybe he would start thinking about... catching the train again.

Mother Jia smiled and said, "Girl Feng, you are in charge of celebrating Brother Heng's ennomination, why are you only coming back now?"

"The old lady wants to listen to an opera. Those little opera singers have already made arrangements. Let them set up the stage and sing." Sister Feng smiled and said, "I was thinking that Keqing was pregnant, and the doctor said to rest. It’s not easy to handle it in Tianxiang Tower.”

Jia Mu nodded and said, "It's important for Qing to rest. There are many things to pay attention to during this pregnancy. Brother Heng is busy with outside affairs, so you have to go to the East Mansion more often."

Sister Feng smiled sweetly, responded softly, turned her face to Mrs. Liang to greet her, and sat down again, but just as she sat down, she felt strange bursts of plumpness and crispness under her skirt.

She spat secretly in her heart, and she rested for a while before she felt no burning pain.

Sister Feng Danfeng blinked and asked with a smile, "Auntie is here?"

Liang said with a smile: "It's not about your uncle who went to find brother Heng and talked about court affairs."

When Sister Feng heard Jia Heng's name, her heart trembled slightly, her legs under her skirt were swinging, and she hurriedly moved them together a little bit, her eyes, which were originally charming and rippling, became radiant.

The scene of entanglement just now made Li Ren's heart almost uncontrollable, she quickly calmed down, and asked with a smile: "Auntie, what are Uncle Xun Heng and Brother Xun Heng doing?"

Liang said with a smile: "I don't know what they are discussing."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "Last one, the righteous brother and daughter-in-law of the Wang family came over to thank them, saying that their master is now serving as the chief military officer in the Xuan Mansion, thanks to Brother Heng, and I don't know what happened."

Liang Shi: "..."

You are so mature.

Sister Feng then took over the conversation, and said with a light smile: "Old Ancestor, I heard that Uncle has made great contributions to the Xuan Mansion, Brother Heng recommended him to the palace, and that's how he got the job."

Mother Jia nodded and said, "For relatives, it's right to help each other if the bones are broken and the tendons are connected. Brother Heng is cold on the outside and hot on the inside."

As he spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Wang who was sitting at the bottom.

Mrs. Wang forced a smile on her face, and clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand a little bit.

The old lady is setting her on fire again? !

On the other side, after seeing Shi Nai, Jia Heng returned to Rongqingtang.

Entering the hall, one after another looked at the young man, among them a pair of soft and shining eyes were flustered and embarrassed.

With a smile on her face, Jia Mu asked, "Brother Heng, when is the ancestor worship?"

Jia Heng said: "I told Sister-in-law Feng earlier that it cannot conflict with the wedding day, when will Sister-in-law Feng decide?"

Well, back then he was only concerned about lingering, he even forgot when was the ancestor worship?

At this moment, Sister Feng saw the young man looking at him inquiringly, she felt her heart beating wildly, her legs were slightly hot, she tightly held the handkerchief in her sleeve, forced herself to smile and said: "Brother Heng forgot, we have discussed it, it will be tomorrow."

Mother Jia nodded, and said, "The palace will send a ceremony officer over in the next few days, Brother Heng is also preparing more at home, and wait for the big wedding in the middle of the month, we can't let people choose the ceremony."

Jia Heng stopped talking 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 Mu.

Jia's mother smiled and said, "Zheng'er, it's just in time for you to come back, brother Heng, let's have lunch 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 himself, nodded, and then walked out of Rongqing Hall with Shi Nai silently.

Meng Po Zhai, a small study room

Everyone sits down as guests and hosts, and the servants serve fragrant tea and leave the study.

Jia Zheng looked at the young man and said, "Zi Yu, the Secretary of General Administration's memorandums these days have mentioned a lot about Shanxi merchants."

After the fermentation, the courtiers who complained for the grievances of the Jin merchants have already told the court that they should not use torture to kill merchants and hurt the court's benevolence and love for the people.

Jia Heng pondered and said: "In the next few days, the Jinyi Mansion will announce the criminal evidence of these Shanxi merchants colluding with the Eastern captives and intending to betray the country. Let's see what they have to say then!"

There was a cold look in Shi Nai's old eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Ziyu, some of them were bribed by Shanxi merchants, and they were worried that they would be involved, so they defended them in every possible way, trying to make the court take it lightly and turn it into a big deal. Small."

Jia Heng said: "The matter of corruption is not easy to investigate now. Firstly, the case will be confirmed, and then a thorough investigation will be carried out. Pull out the radish and bring out the mud."

While several people were talking, the servant entered the study and said, "Master, the food and drink are ready."

Jia Zheng invited: "Brother Shi, eat first, and talk while eating."

With that said, the three of them sat around a table and ate meals. During the dinner, the guests and hosts had a good time. Jia Heng sent Bowling Marquis Shi Nai away, and did not stay in Mengpozhai. sparse.

Walking along the flower wall covered with vines, and came to a moon gate, Jia Heng was stunned for a while, looked at the person with warm eyes, and said, "Sister Lin."

At this moment, on the long green-painted verandah, Daiyu stood and stared blankly. The girl was wearing a moon-white pink collar orchid embroidered cross-collar long jacket, a white cross-collar midi, and an ai-green skirt. It looks like a juicy and pink lotus in the middle.

Daiyu snorted softly, held Xiangfei fan in her hand and fanned Xiaohe who had just exposed her sharp corners, her starry eyes were condensed, and she asked with a smile: "Brother Heng, where are you going?"

Jia Heng smiled and said: "Back to the East Mansion, my sister is going back to the Xiaoxiang Hall?"

Saying that, she walked up to Daiyu and took Daiyu's hand. The hand of Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass was soft and tender, and said, "Sister Lin, let's go together."

Instead, Daiyu was taken aback, looked left and right, and hurriedly struggled to free Jia Heng, her star-lit eyes were full of annoyance, and said: "Brother Heng, be careful not to be seen."

Xiren and Zicuckoo held handkerchiefs, covered their mouths and smiled slightly, and fell behind a few steps, leaving time for the two of them.

Jia Heng smiled lightly and said, "So what can I do if I see it?"

However, she still took care of Daiyu's thin face and did not continue to hold hands.

Daiyu and Jia Heng walked along the corridor together towards the Grand View Garden. It was summer, and the willow trees beside the rockery were shaking their branches and leaves with the wind, and the cicadas were ringing in their ears, making it more and more quiet.

The two walked side by side, and Jia Heng looked at the little girl beside him. The two figures were reflected on the white wall of Daiwa, jumping up and down at random, high and low, short and long. At this moment, how much campus love is there? a feeling of.

Daiyu's face was slightly red, under the smoldering eyebrows, her starry eyes seemed to be shining with a smile, she asked: "Brother Heng, are you free today?"

Jia Heng smiled and said: "I've been relatively idle these few days, and it's summer, my sister's Xiaoxiang Pavilion is quiet and cool, let's go and talk."

"It's not as cool as Hengwuyuan." Daiyu's affectionate eyes, which seemed to be happy but not happy, cast a white glance at the young man, with lowered eyebrows, holding a pink handkerchief in her hand, and the sunlight shining through the shade of the willow tree shone on the pink face. On the greasy skin, a small nose, pink lips, a strand of hair around the ear reflects a cluster of shadows on the temples.

It has to be said that Daiyu's appearance is quite capable. The so-called peerless appearance and beauty of the country are not an exaggeration.

It is very in line with the white young and thin aesthetics of the Beijing circle in later generations.

There is no so-called only shortcoming... maybe it is not beautiful enough.

Jia Heng took Daiyu's plain hand and said softly: "Sister, the road is slippery, be careful."

Daiyu didn't make any money at the moment, but just as she was talking, she suddenly heard a familiar voice from a distance.

"What did the ancestors say?" Baoyu asked.

Ming Yan quickly followed, and said: "Uncle Heng just came back, tomorrow is celebrating the ancestor worship, Second Master Bao can take advantage of the opportunity to rest at the mansion for a few more days."

Baoyu smiled wryly, and said, "It's rare for me, a man without fame, to be able to bear the glory of Duke Wei."

As the two talked, they walked around the flower wall and came to the end of the corridor.

Seeing someone coming, Baoyu was startled at first, then overjoyed and said: "Sister Lin, are you here to find your ancestor?"

He didn't even see Jia Heng for a while.

Jia Heng: "..."

Daiyu: "???"

"Sister Lin." Baoyu trotted forward a few steps, and even shook the purple gold crown on his head with hair inlaid with jewels. The face like a full moon was full of smiles, but before he had traveled far, he was struck by lightning, and immediately in place.

His eyes fell on the holding hand, the smile on Baoyu's face gradually disappeared, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he felt a dull pain in his heart.

In fact, in the past few months, after Daiyu moved into the Grand View Garden, Baoyu also went to the school, and occasionally when he came back, he looked in the direction of the Grand View Garden and wept secretly.

Jia Heng held Daiyu's hand, but did not let go, and asked, "Baoyu just came back from school?"

Baoyu stood there dumbfounded at this moment, and when he heard the words, he bowed and said, "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng looked serious, and said: "Tomorrow, I will worship the ancestors, and go see the old lady."

Baoyu looked at Daiyu, his eyes were dazed, as if thousands of words were rolling in his throat.

Daiyu's starry eyes were calm and unwavering, and she said softly: "Second Brother Bao, the old lady called you just now."

Hearing the flat and distant voice, Baoyu's body trembled slightly, but her heart felt as if a knife was being twisted, and she said, "Then I'll go."

Saying that, Baoyu looked gloomy, and left the hall with Mingyan in a daze.

Daiyu blushed at this moment, her childish cheeks were red, she looked at the boy with starry eyes, and said coquettishly and angrily: "Brother Heng, there are outsiders here, and you are still holding my hand."

"It's okay, let's go back to Xiaoxiang Hall." Jia Heng smiled, staring at the girl with airy bangs, gently pinched Daiyu's pink face, which made the latter's starry eyes angry, and snorted , before he noticed, he was already hugged in the arms of the boy.

Jade belts are hung in the forest, and golden hairpins are buried in the snow.

Daiyu is destined to be a husband and a child in this life, and she will never die in tears, and follow him to see the prosperity of the world.

Well, holding her petite and exquisite body at the moment, like a weak lamb, now Daiyu is still a little thin, obviously unable to have children.

Under Dai Yu's smoldering eyebrows, her starry eyes narrowed slightly, and she felt the boy's love from the bottom of her heart. Her jade face was blushing, and her heart was so sweet. Qiongbi snorted lightly, her pink lips parted, and said: " Brother Heng, how do I go here?"

Jia Heng laughed lightly and jokingly said, "Then I'll carry my sister away?"

Daiyu: "..."

Fortunately, Jia Heng only talked about it, and there was no princess holding Daiyu. After a while, Jia Heng let go of Daiyu, took the girl's slender hand, and asked, "Sister Lin, what do you do in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion these few months?" what?"

Zijuan walked a few steps quickly, and said softly: "Since Uncle Heng led the army to go out, my girl has been worried."

"You don't wash your face with tears every day, do you?" Jia Heng smiled and asked in a low voice.

Zijuan said with a smile: "Our girls don't cry a lot, besides, it's not auspicious to cry."

Jia Heng turned to look at Daiyu, met those starry eyes, and said: "My younger sister is much more cheerful than before."

Speaking of which, Daiyu will soon reach the age of Jiji this year.

The two walked along the flower wall, and after a while they took a narrow road to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

As described in the original book, there are thousands of green bamboo poles, three houses, one bright and two dark.

When they arrived at the Xiaoxiang Hall, the girl took the initiative to hold Jia Heng's hand, and when she turned around, her Qingli face was full of concern, and she said softly, "Brother Heng is fighting at the border, so he didn't encounter any danger this time, did he?"

Jia Heng said: "Fortunately, we didn't fight the enemy head-on this time. The captives withdrew suddenly because of the death of the slave chief."

In fact, this national war with Jurchen ended with some accidental and suddenness.

While the two were talking, they entered the wing room of the Xiaoxiang Hall.

Jia Heng sat down, Zijuan offered tea, and then retreated slowly.

Jia Heng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Sister Lin, uncle should be back in two or three days."

Lin Ruhai helped the Jinyi Mansion handle the case of Shanxi Merchants betraying the country. After such a long time, the case of Shanxi Merchants has gradually been settled, and some properties and goods have gradually been sealed up, waiting for the House of Internal Affairs to seize and confiscate them.

Daiyu approached Jia Heng, with a hint of curiosity in her starry eyes, she asked: "Brother Heng, sister Bao, she... um~"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the young man had embraced him in his arms, and the familiar touch came from his lips, followed by the familiar intimacy, Lilac was wrapped up and drifted with the tide.

Daiyu has also been intimated by Jia Heng countless times, and she has long been used to it. She put her hands on the young man's shoulders, her starry eyes slightly closed, and her eyelashes trembled.

All of a sudden, Jia Heng looked at the girl whose jade face was slightly flushed, and gently grazing the lamb, 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 can't help but think of the two people's pleasure in the past, and my heart beats wildly.

Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he moved closer to Daiyu's ear, the drooping hair seemed to have the unique fragrance of crimson pearl fairy grass, his mind was somewhat erratic, and he said: "Sister, have you missed me these days?"

"Brother Heng was fighting in Datong. In those few months, there was not a single letter." Feeling the trembling of the lamb, Dai Yuyu's cheeks were flushed, she pursed her pink lips, and her voice was delicate and charming. Complaining, the starry eyes flickering under the two eyebrows, said: "Sister Bao said that writing letters will distract you and affect the war, so we didn't write to Brother Heng."

Jia Heng listened quietly, stretched out his hand to gently pinch Daiyu's chin, the delicate and fat-like touch overflowed from his fingertips, met the shy and timid starry eyes, and explained: "It's not that I can't spare time to write, but It’s because too many people are paying attention to this battle, and the family letters are sent home one by one, but they fall into the eyes of others, and they don’t know how to read them.”

It's not that there are too many people and there are more letters to write. It's purely because the battle with the Jurchen is of great importance and attracts the attention of the whole country. He even wrote letters to his family members, which fell into the ears of the palace or some courtiers. he?

"Brother Heng said that too." Daiyu said softly, lowering her eyes slightly, and the man approached again.

The girl's heart was mixed with shame and joy, how much did Brother Heng like to kiss her?Just kiss her without saying a word.

After a while, looking at the young man's lips that left suddenly, Daiyu's starry eyes were condensed, and she said in a somewhat disappointed voice: "Brother Heng is going to marry 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 wrapped the girl's shaved shoulders with the other, with a hint of amusement in his warm eyes, and 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 that crying girl back then, under his care, she has gradually become a slim and tall girl.

And he and Daiyu can be considered to be in love for more than a year, except that there is no real husband and wife, he and Daiyu share the same bed, and they have done everything they should and shouldn't do together, and they have already known the basics.

In this era, in fact, it is almost time to talk about marriage.

No wonder Daiyu also became anxious.

Because after he married Xianning and Chanyue, he would only spend more time with them, and spend much less time with Daiyu.

In this way, it is better to marry him early and have more company as a wife.

Daiyu leaned her beautiful head against Jia Heng's arms, and said softly, "Brother Heng, I am not young anymore."

Although it was settled early with daddy, when can we get through the door?Year after year.

And the wedding in the future would be far inferior to Sister Chanyue and the others.

He is now a duke of the state, with a high position and authority, and I don't know in the future...

In fact, he is also a flirt, and he spends less time with her in the future than he did in Jiangnan.

Jia Heng shepherded the sheep lightly, smiled, and said, "It's not too big."

Daiyu: "???"

I was stunned for a moment, after all, I have been with Jia Heng for a long time, and I have been fascinated by it, but I also realized that since I am not very old?Then don't be obsessed with my body, please take your hand away, immediately, immediately.

Looking at the girl with slightly pouty pink lips and a petite pink cheek that was a bit puffy, Jia Heng smiled lightly and said, "I'm not in a hurry to wait a year or two. Sister Lin, don't be in a hurry. I will think of a way, and let my younger sister marry me in a good way."

Saying that, holding Daiyu in her arms, looking down at the girl with glowing cheeks, she said softly: "Actually, Xianning and the others waited for a long time before waiting for this opportunity."

It can only be said that the wedding with Xianning and Chanyue really stimulated these unique girls in the back house.

Even Daiyu was no exception, she felt a little lonely.

"Hmph." Daiyu snorted softly, biting her cherry lips with her white teeth, and said angrily, "Then I will wait for the day when Big Brother Heng will marry me in a palanquin."

Looking at the girl who looked slightly cute and cute, Jia Heng leaned over to Daiyu's rosy cheeks and kissed her.

It can only be said that compared to the gentleness and pleasantness of young women, the youthful and beautiful aura of young girls is also difficult to replace.

Feeling the boy's pampering and love, Daiyu couldn't hide the joy in her brows and eyes, bursts of sweetness surged deep in her heart, she took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her face, pretending to be disgusted and said: "It's all saliva, what a mess!" I have a face."

Jia Heng: "..."

Well, I feel that Daiyu is much brighter than before.

Jia Heng smiled lightly and said, "Sister Lin was not the same last time, she also teased me..."

Embarrassed, Dai Yufang pinched Jia Heng's hand and said, "Don't...don't say it."

Every time Brother Heng deliberately teased her, she didn't know why, as if she couldn't control herself.

After that, the two talked and laughed, hugged and kissed, and got tired of lingering for a while.

Dai Yu raised her eyebrows, her starry eyes stared intently, and 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 to play for a few days later." Jia Heng said with a light smile, carrying Daiyu to the bed in the inner room.

It's been a long time since I tasted the crimson pearl fairy grass, and I really miss it.
