The Red Mansions

Chapter 822 Jia Heng: You Can't Thick Dais and Thin Hairpins

Chapter 822 Jia Heng: You can't be thick with Dai and thin...

In Ningguo Mansion, in the evening, the rain was drizzling, the sky was dark, the autumn wind blew through a plum tree planted in the southwest corner of the study, and the sparse branches and leaves rustled in the bleak autumn wind.

In the study room, sandalwood rose slowly from the animal-patterned copper stove and spread throughout the room. On the bed raised by the sky-blue curtains, Jia Heng and Zhen Xue hugged each other closely, rubbing their ears together.

Zhen Xueyu's face was rosy red, her beautiful eyes were slightly opened, this person was a beauty as she was named, her snowy skin was already reddish in the past, her voice was a bit gentle and coquettish, she whispered: "Zi Yu, it's getting late."

Jia Heng said softly: "Well, let's do this first."

Zhen Xuexiu frowned, snorted lightly, her cheeks were blushing, she took the handkerchief and got busy.

Let Zhen Xue help clean up, then Jia Heng got up, looked at Zhen Qing, and said softly: "You clean up and go back with Xue'er."

Except for the spring charm flowing silently between the brows and the corners of the eyes, Zhen Qing's face was as calm as a lake, holding a tea cup, her pink lips pressed against it, she took a sip, her eyes were a little bit reluctant Looking at Jia Heng anxiously, he said softly: "Then I'll tell the prince like that when I go back."

Jia Heng nodded and said, "Go, I'll go there the day after tomorrow."

While speaking, he helped Zhen Xue tidy up a little, and walked out of the study with a calm expression. At this moment, he looked around, and found that the sky was dark at some point, the night fell, the rain and fog stopped, and the courtyard was quiet.

Jia Heng looked up and took a breath of fresh air in the courtyard.

Immediately, turning around, she saw a girl in a green dress with her arms around her shoulders under the eaves of the corridor, she approached her so close, and asked, "Xiaoxiao."

Under Chen Xiao's eyebrows, she glanced at Jia Heng coldly, and said, "Hurry up and take a bath, no one came over just now."

She was so nonsense every day, she didn't bother to talk about him anymore.

She even felt a little sympathetic to him, it was obvious that he didn't seem to be in love for a while, and he didn't want to be obsessed with the Zhen family demon concubine every time.

It was that the demon concubine clearly regarded him as her husband, and came to pester him after a while.

Jia Heng paused, and said softly: "Then I'll take a bath first, and I'll talk to you later."

Walking along the Chaoshou verandah towards the backyard, passing through the courtyard with rockery mountains, and turning into the Moon Gate Cave, and walking for a while, when I looked up, I found a petite and exquisite figure in a pink skirt standing in the corridor of the courtyard where he lived, as if he was bored .

Zhen Lan seemed to be aware of it. Seeing Jia Heng, the embroidered shoes under her skirt walked quickly a few steps, and said, "Brother Heng."

"Sister Lan'er, are you waiting for me?" Jia Heng asked with a light smile, slightly surprised.

At this moment, he had just had an affair with Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue, and now that he ran into Zhen Lan by chance, his heart inevitably felt a little guilty.

This Zhen Lan was quick-witted, but she had half of Zhen Qing's demeanor.

Zhen Lan walked up to the front with a posture of spreading flowers and brushing willows, her thin willow eyebrows were slightly high, and her Danfeng eyes were clear and penetrating. At this moment, she looked up and down at the tall and tall young man opposite, and asked, "Brother Heng, what are you doing?" Do you have time now? That Miss Xiao said just now that brother Heng is talking to the two concubines and sisters, so it's not easy to interrupt me just now."

Jia Heng looked calm and asked, "Sister Lan?"

Zhen Lan stared at the young man with her eyes under her eyebrows, her nose moved, and she was slightly surprised when she smelled a vague smell, and asked with a smile: "I have something I want to ask Brother Heng, I don't know Brother Heng Is it convenient?"

Facing those eyes that were not timid, Jia Heng thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the east wing and talk about it."

I don't know what this little sister-in-law is looking for him for, and it's not easy to talk about taking a bath at the moment, and then dismiss Zhen Lan.

The two came to the east wing one after the other, and they sat down respectively as the guest and the host.

Zhen Lan sat in a dignified posture, but said softly: "Fourth Uncle, he was defeated by the Jurchen before, and I don't know what the palace is up to?"

Jia Heng looked at Zhen Lan, with Zhen Qing's eyebrows and eyes, exquisite features, and a pointed chin. This face actually does not fit the aesthetics of this era, because it is a bit mean and glamorous.

Jia Heng thought for a while, then said vaguely: "This matter depends on the Holy Majesty's will, why do you suddenly ask this?"

The question you asked was asked by your sister before, but you asked while shaking.

Zhen Lan said softly: "I'm just worried about what's going on at home. Brother Heng is an important minister of the court, so I think he knows the court situation very well."

Jia Heng looked at the girl opposite with a slightly oppressive gaze, and said, "Sister Lan, is she spying on me?"

Zhen Lan Yurong was slightly startled, her pink lips pursed, her narrow and clear eyes flickered, and she said with a smile: "Brother Heng and Sister Xi'er will be a family from now on, so it should be normal if I ask."

Jia Heng said in a low voice: "There is no news from the palace right now, but it's actually a good thing, which means we're still weighing things up."

Under Zhen Lan's beautiful eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes blinked, she looked curiously at the young man opposite, and said softly, "Brother Heng, what do you say?"

Jia Heng picked up the teacup at the side, took a deep breath, and said, "I don't want to say much about it, you usually ask your elder sister, she knows more."

When Zhen Lan heard this, she said in a coquettish voice, "Brother Heng, Big Sister doesn't even tell me these things, so tell me."

Jia Heng looked at the girl with a beautiful red silk face, smiled lightly and said, "Don't act like a baby to me."

When Zhen Lan heard this, Qingli's cheeks blushed into a glow, and she also realized that she was a little too intimate just now, her heart moved slightly, and said: "Brother Heng, our family seems to be in bad times now, and I have heard some rumors recently. .”

Jia Heng said: "It doesn't have much to do with Sister Lan anyway, so don't worry about Sister Lan."

Zhen Lanli nodded her head, her bright eyes darkened, and said quietly: "To tell the truth, Big Brother Heng, the Fang family's attitude towards our family has been much worse since the fourth uncle's accident, or the old lady's death."

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "The Zhen family was originally a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Fang family was a bit high-ranking before, but this kind of official family is inevitably a little more arrogant."

It's hard to say too much, but the conversation between smart people is transparent.

"Yeah, our family's reputation is not as good as before." Zhen Lanfang's heart moved slightly, she stared at the young man, and said in a clear voice: "The prosperity will decline, and the gentleman's luster will be killed in five lifetimes. Previously, it was all due to the old lady's help." You are holding on, now that the old matriarch is leaving, a lot of things have happened at home."

Jia Heng looked at the girl on the opposite side, and said softly: "When the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will be short.

It's true that she has the most similar temperament to Zhen Qing. Although she is young, she knows the situation of Zhen's family well and is prepared for danger in times of peace.

Zhen Lan's pretty snow-like face was full of determination, and she said softly: "If I was a man, I could go out and start a career early, but now I can only stay in the mansion and watch the family's decline. go down."

Jia Heng was silent for a while, looked at the heroic and beautiful girl opposite, and said softly: "Sister Lan's temperament is somewhat similar to that of my sister Tanchun."

"Sister Tanchun's temperament is indeed stronger, but it's a pity that I don't have such a famous elder brother like Brother Heng." Zhen Lan looked at the boy with bright eyes and said softly.

Originally, I heard that the Ningrong and Rongfu also had a lot of dandies and senior children, gradually entering into decline, but with a figure like Yongning Bo, the Jia family can flourish again for three generations.

Jia Heng said: "Sister Lan's words are hard for me to accept."

Zhen Lan blinked her eyes and said jokingly, "But brother Heng is also my brother-in-law now, if something really happens in the family in the future, brother Heng won't stand by and watch, right?"

"Brother-in-law?" Jia Heng frowned, and said softly: "Sister Lan, don't worry, as long as it doesn't violate the laws and regulations of the country, within the scope of my ability, I won't sit idly by."

As for helping the Zhen family transfer the stolen goods, that's fine.

Zhen Lan looked at the young man opposite with her bright eyes, sighed lightly and said, "I'm at ease with Brother Heng's words."

Jia Heng said with a sigh of relief: "Sister Lan, don't worry too much, there are two princesses."

Zhen Lan nodded and said, "Brother Heng said the same thing."

Jia Heng looked at the sky outside and said, "Let's not talk to Sister Lan for now, I have something else to do."

Zhen Lan Yingying stood up, smiled and said: "Then don't bother Big Brother Heng."

Watching Jia Heng leave, Zhen Lan's eyes flickered, and she sighed faintly.

After the previous battle, this Yongningbo is a military official who will be used by the big man in the future. It would be great if he could help resolve the dislike of the Supreme in the palace towards his family.

On Jia Heng's side, with a calm expression, he came to the wing room to take a bath, changed his clothes, and went to the back house in the dark. At this moment, lanterns were hung everywhere under the eaves, and the slanting wind and drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River was blowing on his face. The green eaves and white walls in all directions are wet, and the ridges with cornices and hooked corners in the distance stand quietly in the misty rain, which will always make people feel a little sad.

In the courtyard where Daiyu was, the candles in the west wing had already been lit, and her petite figure was projected on the casement.

The girl is wearing a peony embroidered collar with hazy red autumn chrysanthemum pattern double-breasted skirt, inside here is a pink satin jacket with a stand-up collar and a pink horse-face skirt. She is reading a cookbook by the light at the moment, and Shaoyan is illuminated by the light. Down, gentle and quiet.

Earlier, after Jia Heng left the back hall, everyone drank tea and chatted for a while, and then dispersed.

The two sisters, Li Wen and Li Qi, like to read books. These days, they go back to the boudoir to read books with them.

Baoqin took Xiangyun, Tanchun and Nuona to lead Xinxin to the house to talk.

Baochai was not happy about the excitement, but went back to her courtyard to be a female celebrity, mainly making clothes for Jia Heng to wear in winter.

Zijuan approached slowly, called Daiyu who was concentrating, and said, "Miss, the uncle is here."

Daiyu put down the menu in her hands, her face was quiet for a moment, she got up, and looked at her.

While talking, I saw Jia Heng entering the wing room, a young man in a green shirt with straight clothes, looking bright and clear.

"Sister, where are you reading?" Jia Heng said, walked up to the girl with willow eyebrows and starry eyes, and said softly.

"Well, I'm bored, and I'll learn how to cook." Daiyu said with a light smile as her starry eyes flashed.

Jia Heng: "..."

Daiyu's mouth is really sharp.

Jia Heng approached, took Daiyu's plain hand, embraced it, and said in a low voice: "Then let someone teach you later, it's not easy to learn the recipe."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and held her two moist and slightly pink lips. As soon as she approached, the peach blossom seemed to bloom suddenly in the autumn moon.

I don't know if it's because I have become more intimate, and I gradually like the intimate way of getting along with Daiyu, especially the petite and delicate body, which is so shy between the palms and fingers.

Immediately, Jia Heng looked at the girl with blush and red cheeks and starry eyes like water, and said softly: "My sister wants to help me spoon soup with bare hands, but I'm not in a hurry, you can learn it slowly in the future."

Daiyu's beautiful face was covered with a blush, like the ripples of Xiangyuan water, her starry eyes were full of attachment, and she asked softly: "Brother Heng, when shall we return to Beijing?"

Jia Heng gently played with Daiyu's beautiful hair, and said in a low voice: "It's just a few days, and the preparations have already begun. When the time comes, you will go to Beijing with the eldest sister and the others by boat."

Daiyu turned her face, looked at the vast sky outside the window, and said: "It's been a long time here, and it will be the beginning of winter in two days. There are a lot of things to do on the way south. Such a great achievement.”

Jia Heng hugged Daiyu, and the warm and fragrant nephrite overflowed in his arms, because Qingxue and Qingxue had already tossed a lot of energy, so they didn't have many distracting thoughts at the moment, and said softly: "For me this time going south, it's all about meritorious service and so on. , I don't really care about it, but Xi and Sister Lin fall in love with each other."

When Daiyu heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, she looked at the young man, and said in a low voice, "Brother Heng."

The girl who was talking sweetly, suddenly felt the soft and frightening breath hit again.

The two were intimate for a while.

Zijuan outside the screen said: "Miss, uncle, it's time for dinner."

Jia Heng sat down and had dinner with Daiyu, saying: "My sister eats so late these days."

"I'm not very hungry." Daiyu said softly, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dishes and put them in Jia Heng's bowl, and asked, "I haven't asked Brother Heng how about visiting the Li family?"

Jia Heng smiled and said, "It's okay."

I had a little contact with Li Shouzhong a few times, but I wasn't in a hurry.

The two of them finished their dinner and came to the bed. Jia Heng grabbed the lamb and whispered in his ear: "Sister, I have something to do later."

Under Daiyu's willow eyebrows, her starry eyes narrowed, she looked at Jia Heng unwaveringly, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng just go and get busy."

It's her fault that she always coaxes her, but delays the business.

Jia Heng nodded and said with a smile: "Sister, then I'll go there first."

These two days Daiyu seemed to be a little shy, and it would not be too late for him to teach her how to please him, well, he just planned to coax Baochai too.

You can't be thick with Dai and thin with hairpin.

The courtyard where Baochai lived——

Ying'er, the personal maid, lowered the window and blocked the sound of the rain hitting the plantains from the window. She turned around, looked at the girl sitting on the bed, and called, "Miss."

Baochai put down her needlework, looked up at her maidservant, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Uncle went to Miss Lin's place again." Ying'er lowered her voice.

Baochai's jade face was slightly stagnant, the plain hand holding the embroidery needle paused slightly, smiled and said: "It's not normal to go there."

Ying'er sat not far away, and said in a low voice: "But the girl came first, since you have been in Jinling for so long, how many times have you come to see the girl?"

Baochai put the needle away, looked up at Yinger, and said, "How many times have you come here, are you still counting?"

She felt that it might not be because of how much he loves Yan'er, but more to appease Yan'er's petty temper.

Seeing Baochai's annoyance, Ying'er hurriedly said, "I'm just fighting for the girl. The girl doesn't know, but a few days ago, I gave the snow geese some rose dew, and she slipped her tongue."

"What did you say you slipped your tongue?" Baochai asked softly after a slight pause.

At this moment, Ying'er leaned close to Baochai's ear and whispered, "Uncle will come back one day and spend the night directly with Miss Lin."

Baochai:"???"

The lake of the girl's heart seemed to set off a turbulent wave, and the moist almond eyes seemed to be disillusioned for a moment, and her heart kept thinking.

No, Brother Heng is a decent person, and usually he doesn't even touch Qingwen, the maid who is close to him. It is even more impossible for Shao'er to be so young, and even though Mao'er's usual behavior is somewhat charming, it is not like It looks broken.

and so……

Just simply sleep together?Cuddling and kissing?

Baochai's complexion changed, she pursed her pink lips, guessed something in her mind, she settled her mind, and said: "This is not a nonsense, it concerns the reputation of my daughter's family."

Ying'er whispered: "My girl, are you still talking about fame at this time? Look at Miss Lin's sharp mouth when she was eating at noon. She has already regarded herself as the wife of the house, and beat the girl with words. From now on, it's like going through the door. But it’s worth it.”

Baochai's personal servant girl has a strong temperament. In the original work, whether it is the flower-pinching incident in the Grand View Garden, or playing with Jia Huan for money, or the incident after Jia Huan's cheating, her aggressive temperament is shown.

"She doesn't have any bad intentions. In fact, she has more of a child's heart. Don't always forget the bad things about people." Baochai frowned, and said in a low voice with her pear-like face seeing her thinking.

The day before yesterday, my cousin told her that Sister Lin was young, and it was okay to give in a bit, and he would not fail to see it.

In fact, Sister Lin really has a childlike heart. She had quarreled with Brother Nabao many times in the Rongguo Mansion in the past, and children just attracted adults' attention by crying?

Seeing her girl frowning, her face was refreshing, she seemed really annoyed, Ying'er could only say angrily, "Your girl is still generous."

"Okay, I'm not allowed to say anything like this in the future, if Big Brother Heng heard it, it would be like what I provoked." Baochai said in a low voice with a gloomy and jaded face.

He was able to grow from a commoner to a military minister of the country, with a clear mind, and he was definitely not the kind of person who rubbed sand in his eyes.

"Then let's not talk about it." Ying'er nodded quickly, then changed the topic, and said softly: "The uncle captured the Jurchen Prince alive this time, so he should be a Marquis when he goes back. At such a young age, the future is probably a certainty. thing."

Well, the girl undoubtedly knows what Baochai likes to listen to, her career is economical, and she doesn't brag about it.

Baochai Yurong paused for a moment, pursed her pink lips, her moist almond eyes shone, and she felt a little pleased.

He told her at the beginning that he might be able to become the county king in the future. It didn't take long for him to say this, and he did make many contributions.

"It's not easy. I don't know how much risk I took when I fought against the enemy." Baochai's eyes were lost, and he said softly: "Suddenly I saw the color of willows on the street, and regretted teaching my husband to seek a title. In fact, he has also made a lot of achievements in political affairs. Even being a civil servant can make a difference.”

The husband she found, Wentao Wulue, is rare in the world.

At this moment, Ying'er was carrying the teapot, took out two teacups, poured a cup for Baochai, and said, "Miss, last time the eldest lady asked the girl to help take care of the uncle's business, why didn't the girl agree?"

"I was thinking, maybe it's not suitable. If it spreads to the mansion, it's easy to be gossiped. After all, I haven't been through the door yet." Baochai shook her head and took the teacup with her hand, her face as white as snow. Thinking about it.

And when it spread to Beijing, Sister Qin wasn't sure what to think.

In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, because Yuan Chun is from the Jia family, it is only natural for Yuan Chun to help Jia Heng manage some shops and properties in the family, and even Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others are secretly happy, because this is exactly what shows that Ning Rong and Ning Rong are in a relationship. One body and one heart, naturally there is no doubt whether Yuan Chun and Jia Heng have joined together.

But Baochai is different. He hasn't passed the family yet, and his name is not right, so of course it can be said that he is helping relatives.

"I don't think it's nothing. Didn't Miss Qin say last time that the second master is now helping the uncle in the sea trade business? Besides, the girl and the uncle will be a family in the future." Ying'er persuaded.

The girl helps the uncle housekeeper, and the uncle will pay more attention to the girl in the future. What a great opportunity this is.

"That's what I said, but it's not appropriate now." Baochai said softly, without continuing to explain the reason.

She still wanted to wait a little longer, at least ask him what he thinks, is it her own idea, or is it under his instruction.

And just as Baochai was thinking about it, Wen Xing's surprised voice came from under the eaves: "Master Heng, when did you come?"

The two masters and servants who were talking in the room looked at each other, their faces slightly stunned, and then they became happy.

Not long after, a tall and handsome young man walked in from the outer hall.

"Brother Heng." Baochai greeted him and left.

Jia Heng looked at Rong Zhi's plump, muscular young girl with warm eyes, then took another deep look at Ying'er, and asked: "Sister Xue is so late, hasn't she rested yet?"

Baochai smiled lightly, pointed at the needlework and silk in the bamboo basket with the handkerchief, and said softly: "It's not cold, make two clothes for Brother Heng."

Jia Heng approached, sat down, picked up the clothes that Baochai was sewing, and said with a smile: "My sister is really ingenious, and the culinary skills of female celebrities are all excellent."

Baochai drooped her eyebrows slightly, and said softly, "Brother Heng was joking."

Both of them belong to the Kuagua God Sect, and they can basically provide each other with high emotional value when they are together.

At this time, Ying'er bowed and slowly exited the hall.

Jia Heng glanced at Ying'er, gently hugged Baochai's shoulders, stared at the fair-skinned girl, and asked seriously: "Sister Xue, Big Sister asked you to help look after the business, why didn't you look at it?"

Baochai's apricot eyes were filled with curiosity, and he asked, "Did Brother Heng ask Big Sister to tell me?"

Jia Heng said: "Yes, I know that my younger sister has the ability to manage and manage money, so she can help my elder sister manage my shops. I am usually busy with court affairs, so I really don't have time to take care of them."

Baochai pursed her pink lips, and said softly, "Brother Heng, isn't this inappropriate?"

Jia Heng held Baochai's hand and said softly: "It's nothing. When I get to Beijing, I'll talk to my aunt and ask my younger sister to help me. There's also the third younger sister. Now that you've learned it well, it's fine if you get married in the future." housekeeper."

If Tanchun is used as a shield, then everything is justified, and this becomes the patriarch of the Jia clan who wants to rely on two relatives and girls to help the housekeeper, and by the way, to exercise his ability as a director.

Moreover, among the four families of King Xue of Jia Shi, Xue's family originally had the smell of Jia's money bags.

Baochai nodded and said, "Then I'll talk to my elder sister later."

Jia Heng said softly: "Help me take care of it. In the future, when you and the third sister get married, I will give you dozens of dowry."

Baochai couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "The dowry won't end up in Brother Heng's hands either."

As she said that, she suddenly felt a little shy, her bright and clear eyes narrowed her eyes, and said, "Brother Heng."

"Sister." Jia Heng gently pinched the girl's plump chin, and the skin felt as if it had been washed with milk, smooth and tender. He lowered his head, held the spotless red lips, and grabbed the sweetness.

Baochai's plump face was as red as Qixia, glowing like fire, she reached out and grabbed Jia Heng's unlocked hand, and said in a low voice, "Brother Heng, don't make trouble."

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, and said: "I want to tell my sister about Sister Lin. Sister Lin is the one who loves to joke. I just told her that I would ask you for advice on cooking."

"She doesn't have any other thoughts, I know it." Baochai smiled, and said softly, "Brother Heng, don't worry."

It seemed that he was really worried that she would quarrel with Shao'er.

Jia Heng pulled Baochai and sat in his arms as usual, the girl with smooth skin, mixed with bluegrass fragrance and snow fragrance gently wafting from her nose, said softly: "Sister Xue, you are in harmony, We usually get along well together.”

Or in the future, he will have a game on the bed, have a happy meeting with a bag of wine, and talk about how many things happened in the past.

Baochai blushed like Lirui's cheeks at this moment, and said softly: "Brother Heng, don't worry, I was getting along with Mao'er."

Jia Heng nodded, embraced Baochai, lightly made a snowman, leaned into Baochai's ear and whispered: "I know my sister has always been general."

Said, embraced Baochai, looked at the charming young girl, said: "Sister, I won't go back today, just sleep with my sister."

He had listened to Yinger's gossip just now, since she is Baochai's personal maid after all, he needed to find an opportunity to talk about it.

When Baochai heard this, her heart trembled slightly, and she said angrily, "Brother Heng..."

Jia Heng took Baochai's plain hand, looked at the girl's cheeks that were flushed with blush, and said softly: "We are hugging and talking together, we are husband and wife, if you don't sleep here with my sister, where else can I sleep? "

"En." Baochai heard this, her cheeks were as red as pear pears, and she answered with a trembling voice, like mosquitoes and flies.

Since Yan'er came from behind, she... also can't fall behind others, and she promised her body to him until death.

Under Ying'er's service, Jia Heng washed her feet, put on her clothes, embraced Baochai, and lay on the bed. It was the first time that the two shared the same bed.
