Chapter 778 Jia Heng: Look at scaring the child...

Gusu, Lin House

In the wing room, Lin Daiyu and Zhen Xi were talking, when suddenly an attacking voice came from outside, saying, "Master, are you here?"

Jia Heng nodded towards Xiren, stepped into the hall, looked at the two girls who were talking, with warm eyes, smiled and said: "Sister Lin, what are you two talking about?"

Daiyu got up to greet her, her starry eyes were as bright as a rainbow, and she said softly: "Brother Heng, I didn't talk about anything. Just now, sister Xi'er asked about Brother Heng's past in Beijing, and I was talking to her."

Hearing what Daiyu said, Zhenxi's jade cheeks were slightly red, and before Jia Heng's gaze came, she quickly lowered her cut eyes and said, "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng smiled, knowing that Zhenxi was shy, and didn't care, and asked instead: "In Gusu these days, I'm still used to eating and living. The day before yesterday your sister sent me a letter, asking What's going on with you."

Ever since Zhenxi came over, Mopan seemed to have an excuse and often sent people to deliver letters.

Zhen Xi curled her eyelashes to hide a shadow of shyness, and said softly: "Well, the scenery here is quite good, so don't worry about it, Big Sister."

Jia Heng nodded, and said softly: "Later, you and your eldest sister will write a letter, and I will send someone to Jinling first."

Zhen Xi responded softly, looked at Daiyu and the young man, pursed her cherry lips, and said in a low voice: "Brother Heng is talking to Sister Lin, I'm going back to my room first."

Saying that, the girl Yingying got up and left the room.

Jia Heng watched Zhen Xi leave, his face paused, but when he turned his head, he met a pair of shining star eyes, and smiled half-smile, with a bit of playfulness.

"Sister Lin, let's play chess together." Jia Heng talked about him from left to right, whispered, and sat in Zhenxi's previous seat, a few steps away from Daiyu.

Daiyu said softly: "Brother Heng, I went to Kuaiji's son-in-law today, did it go well?"

"It went well beyond expectations." Jia Heng said in a clear voice, gathering the black and white chess pieces into the box, and then picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.

Amazement welled up in Daiyu's starry eyes, she looked at the young man who didn't have much joy on her face, and asked curiously, "What do you say?"

Jia Heng told the whole story, picked up the teacup, and said, "The consort of Kuaiji has prepared all the things, as if he had expected it, and is still checking the authenticity of the books."

Daiyu's pretty face showed a thoughtful look, her pink lips parted slightly, and she asked with concern: "Then if it is true, what will Big Brother Heng do?"

Jia Heng took a sip of tea and said in a deep thought: "Let's stop here. The salt affairs are basically over. After we go back, we will send someone to ask for the money back."

Daiyu nodded, and asked: "Then Daddy's new salt method, how will Brother Heng implement it?"

Jia Heng put down the chess pieces, and said in a low voice: "I'm going to let my father-in-law... well, my uncle has full authority over this matter."

Daiyu suddenly heard the word "father-in-law", and felt her heart trembling slightly, filled with joy and shyness, her snowy and jade cheeks were rosy and dizzy, her heart was both sweet and ashamed, shining brightly With a bit of resentment in her star eyes, she said, "Brother Heng~"

father in law?Why is Brother Heng like this? She hasn't married him yet.

As for Jia Heng's slip of the tongue just now, in the eyes of the girl, it was undoubtedly how long she had been brewing in her heart, and it seemed that she had brought out all the words in her heart inadvertently, which was a little more sincere than the usual sweet words.

Jia Heng said softly: "I made a slip of the tongue, my sister forgive me, it's the new law on salt affairs in Yangzhou, I only control the general direction, my uncle and Qi Dashi are responsible for the specific implementation, when the matter on the salt affairs is over, uncle will return to Beijing with us."

Daiyu nodded her head, staring at the young man with a jade-like face and a pensive look in her starry eyes, her eyes twinkling faintly, she couldn't help feeling a little absent-minded.

Jia Heng raised his eyes and winked at Zijuan, waited outside for Zijuan and Xiren to leave, then got up from his seat, passed by the couch by the window, and sat down beside Daiyu, holding her hand Holding a slender catkin with smooth and delicate skin, she said warmly: "Sister, let me tell you something."

"What?" Daiyu's brows covered with air gently swayed on her bright forehead, her bright eyes lifted, her pink lips parted slightly, revealing her white teeth that were as neat as braided shells, she said shyly: "Brother Heng just said it. "

Jia Heng gently hugged Daiyu's waist, made the shy girl sit on his lap, and said in a low voice: "After arriving in Jinling, I will go to Haojing, my sister will wait for me at home."

Daiyu blushed, pursed her pink lips, and said in surprise, "Brother Heng, why is he in such a hurry this time?"

Previously, Jia Heng and Daiyu revealed that they would go to Haojing for business, but Daiyu thought that they might have to do it later.

Jia Heng had already proficiently herded the lamb, leaned close to the girl's ruddy ear, sniffed the fragrant fragrance from a strand of hair hanging from her temples, and said in a low voice: "Well, what's being urged over there is Be quick, it's also a matter of military affairs."

There is not much time left for him, even if it is a love affair with his children, he is busy with his busy schedule, and he comes here when the time is right.

Hearing this, Daiyu saw concern in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, the autumn clothes I sewed for you, Brother Heng just happened to take it with him on the way."

Jia Heng said softly: "Well, I will definitely wear the clothes my sister sews."

Saying that, holding Daiyu's small face, in the touch of bright red and slightly hot, she gently held her lips that were as moist as water, grabbing the sweetness.

It was near noon, and in the courtyard outside the wing room, there were sycamore trees planted with luxuriant branches and leaves. The lush branches and leaves shredded the sunlight bit by bit, and the mottled light and shadow were projected on the stone steps paved with bluestone.

After a while, the silver-haired man suddenly disappeared under the sunlight, Daiyu's cheeks glowed to her earlobe, her slightly thin body trembled slightly, she grabbed Jia Heng's restless hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng ..."

Sometimes Brother Heng's love for her is so hot that it seems to melt her.

"Sister Lin and Sister Xi'er have been inseparable from Meng these few days. It's inconvenient for me to come here." Jia Heng whispered in Daiyu's ear.

This explanation is to follow Daiyu's way, leaving Daiyu nowhere to go.

Daiyu Xueyan's cheeks were flushed into a glow, she lightly pursed her pink lips, and said judoly: "Sister Xi'er just came here, and she doesn't have any friends, so I can't neglect her too much."

In fact, some wanted to ask him what happened to the fourth girl of the Zhen family, but he didn't know how to ask for a while.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "My sister has changed a lot compared to before."

It is absurd to say that such a young girl, in this precocious age, is no worse than the people of later generations.

When Daiyu heard this, her heart moved slightly, and she asked curiously, "Brother Heng, what has changed?"

In Big Brother Heng's mind, is she just so petty and annoying?

Jia Heng said: "Sister's demeanor is becoming more and more like the head wife."

"Brother Heng, what are you talking about?" Daiyu was both ashamed and happy when she heard this, she was about to ask, but suddenly she saw the young man approaching again, she had to close her eyes quickly.

After a while, Jia Heng said softly: "Sister, I'll go as early as possible and come back as early as possible. After a while, after Sister Yun and Third Sister come over, the house will be much more lively."

Daiyu hummed softly, under her willow-leaf eyebrows, her starry eyes were like the haze of Gusu City, slightly moistened, and said in a low voice: "Brother Heng, where did Sister Yun and the others go?"

"Last time Feige sent a letter saying that the ship arrived in Luoyang, so it should be in Kaifeng now. When they arrive, I guess I will be in Haojing at that time." Jia Heng paused and said softly.

Daiyu thought for a while, her starry eyes flickered, and she asked delicately: "Brother Heng, I heard from Sister Yun last time that the princess can ride a horse and has martial arts."

Jia Heng said: "You mean Xianning? Haven't you met before? When she comes over, just ask her."

Daiyu said softly, "Yes."

Jia Heng felt the girl's loss, and said, "My sister is thinking wildly again."

Saying that, without waiting for Daiyu to speak, she leaned against Daiyu's skirt and began to bleat.

At noon, Zijuan's voice came from outside, saying: "Master, Miss, it's noon, it's time for lunch."

As long as the girl and the uncle stay together, they don't talk about day and night.

After a while, Dai Yu frowned slightly, her starry eyes narrowed, her cheeks were already glowing like fire, the earrings on her earlobe shook slightly, her cheeks blushed, she stretched out her hand to hold Jia Heng's shoulder, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, Zijuan... the cuckoo is calling."

Jia Heng was biting the nose of the lamb Qiong. Hearing this, he stood up, looked at Daiyu whose cheeks were as red as rouge, and said softly: "It may take a month to come back from this trip, I just want to stay with my sister for a while .”

Daiyu's heart trembled when she heard this, her starry eyes were misty, and she said, "Brother Heng."

After coming to Jiangnan, she and him really haven't been separated for so long.

Jia Heng said softly: "How about I come and take care of my sister in the evening?"

"Serve?" Daiyu blinked her misty starry eyes, a little confused, but for some reason, Fang's heart was beating non-stop, as if something serious happened.

Jia Heng said in a low voice: "My sister will know in the evening."

This is to vaccinate Daiyu in advance, so that after Xianning and Chanyue came, Daiyu felt self-pity again, which was a little shock to the tip of the tongue of Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass.

Jia Heng and Daiyu were talking, and came to the inner hall of the backyard, several young girls were already waiting in the hall, and various dishes were placed on the table.

And Shui Xin sat around the table accompanied by Mammy.

"Godfather, you're here." Shui Xin ran over quickly, came to Jia Heng's arms, and put his arms around his neck.

Jia Heng hugged Shui Xin up and said with a smile, "Xin Xin is sinking again."

Shui Xin said, "Godfather, when are we going out to play?"

"Godfather has been very busy these two days, after the busy work, he can play with Xinxin again, okay?" Jia Heng said with a light smile.

Zhen Xi looked at the two of them at this moment, she still showed some shame on her beautiful face, and called out: "Brother Heng, Sister Lin."

Jia Heng nodded and sat down with Daiyu.

Because it was afternoon and Daiyu had the habit of taking a nap, Jia Heng didn't bother with Daiyu anymore, but was going back to the study to check the account books he brought from Kuaiji's son-in-law.

Just after leaving the Moon Gate, I suddenly saw a girl in a white snow-white plum blossom dress, sitting in an octagonal gazebo in the distance, holding a handkerchief, staring at the lake in a daze, it was Zhenxi.

Jia Heng paused, walked towards Zhen Xi lightly, and said, "Sister Xi'er, what are you doing sitting here?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhen Xi turned her eyes to look, seeing fear and panic in her eyes, and said: "Brother Heng, I... I'm leaving now."

Jia Heng: "..."

What does he mean?

It seems that that day caused Zhenxi a lot of psychological shadow. After walking all the way, the girl who wanted to leave looked down at the embroidered shoes that suddenly broke into Jia Heng's arms.

"Ah..." Zhen Xi bumped into her, took a step back quickly, and said, "I'm sorry."

Jia Heng looked at Zhen Xi, reached out and grabbed the girl's arm, and said, "Sister Xi'er, come to my study, I have something to say to you."

The girl raised her flustered pink face, the crystal eyes under her willow eyebrows widened, and said, "Ah?"

Jia Heng pulled Zhen Xi's hand closer, obviously feeling the girl's shyness, and said softly: "Let's go, follow me to the study."

He didn't care about the little girl Zhenxi from the beginning to the end, and he was too young.

"En." Zhen Xi lowered her head, responded softly, and then followed Jia Heng towards the study.

In the study, Jia Heng took Zhen Xi's hand and sat down, picked up a teapot, poured a cup of tea for the girl, and asked, "Xi'er, drink tea."

Perhaps it was because of Jia Heng's slow manner that the girl's flustered mind gradually calmed down.

"Thank you." Zhen Xi picked up the teacup, her brows and eyes drooping, she was extremely shy.

Jia Heng listened, but his eyes were absent, but he thought of Zhen Xue, stared at the girl who looked a little bit like Zhen Xue, and asked: "How are you these days?"

"Very good." Zhen Xi lowered her bright eyes, staring at the tea leaves being rolled in the tea cup, and said softly.

Jia Heng picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked, "Is Xi'er afraid of me?"

It feels a bit like a frightened little white rabbit, with its ears sticking out, always paying attention to the wind and grass around it, and fleeing at any time.

"No." Zhen Xi pursed her pink lips and said hastily.

Jia Heng got up suddenly, but Zhen Xi shivered in fright, and quickly withdrew the hand that had just been extended to the teacup.

Jia Heng was speechless for a while, seeming to frighten the child.

Sitting beside Zhen Xi, Jia Heng took Zhen Xi's hand gently, and after a moment of silence, asked, "Is it because of that day?"

Zhen Xi's cheeks were as red as clouds, she shook her head repeatedly and said, "Brother Heng, no, no."

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, and said: "Actually, I asked you that day, if you don't want to, I will tell your sister, and I will send you back, and when I was in the Zhen family, in front of the old lady of the Zhen family, I remember My attitude is also very clear, if you are afraid of me, when we return to Jinling, I will take you back to Zhen's house."

"No, don't, I don't want to go back." Hearing the words, Zhen Xi felt a little flustered, and almost blurted out, immediately lowered her head, licked her cherry lips, bit her lips with her white teeth and said: "Brother Heng, this is grandma My last wish, don't send me back, okay?"

Jia Heng said softly: "If it is not the old matriarch's last wish, would you still like to stay here?"

"I...I, I don't know either." Zhen Xi's jade face was slightly red, she pursed her pink lips, and said softly, "Brother Heng, I always listen to my family."

She didn't know what to do, since the family asked her to take care of Brother Heng, she just took care of him.

Jia Heng smiled lightly and said, "I understand."

When Zhen Xi heard the words, her heart skipped a beat, and facing the smile on the young man's lips, she asked, "Brother Heng, what do you understand?"

"You are actually... the same as your second sister." Jia Heng gently lifted the girl's smooth and round chin, and looked into a pair of aura-like eyes. The eyebrows and eyes were indeed similar to Xue'er, and the eyes were pure and innocent. And a tinge of bewilderment.

Zhen Xi blinked her bright eyes, her pink cheeks puffed up involuntarily, her lips seemed to be unopened, she was obviously a little unclear, so, "Huh? My second sister and I... um~"

Immediately, seeing a warm and soft breath coming, with strong oppression, Zhen Xifang's heart trembled, she quickly closed her eyes, and let Jia Heng do whatever she wanted.

After a while, Jia Heng looked at the girl with ruddy cheeks who was almost limp in his arms, and said softly, "Even the subconscious reaction is the same."

Although they didn't take the initiative to cater, but the clumsy posture of opening the door and bowing to the thief, hiding in the east, is almost the same, or they have a similar soft temperament, not as straightforward as Zhen Qing, and a little passive.

Zhenxi's delicate body is as soft as a silkworm, she feels her heart trembles, her heart is pounding, her bright eyes are filled with mist, brother Heng...he is belittling her again.

Jia Heng said softly: "Do you like it?"

Zhen Xi's cheeks were flushed, but she didn't respond, she just twisted the hem of her clothes in her hands.

Jia Heng reached out and gently rubbed the air bangs on the girl's forehead, and said, "Stay with me from now on, I will take good care of you."

"En." Zhen Xi pursed her cherry lips, and responded with a voice like a mosquito.

Jia Heng stretched his arms around Zhen Xi's waist, hugged the girl in his arms, and said in a low voice: "Actually, if it didn't happen that day, I wouldn't want to involve you in it."

Regardless of whether it was Xueer's youth version or not, he would not accept Zhen Xi just because of Zhen Zhu.

Zhen Xi made up her mind, lowered her eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "I don't blame that day, my family asked me to come and serve Big Brother Heng, even if that day didn't exist... I will serve Big Brother Heng after all."

Jia Heng looked at the girl who explained in a low voice, and thought, are you arguing circularly?

Gently grabbing Zhen Xi's hand, he jokingly asked, "How do you want to serve me?"

"Brother Heng, ah." Zhen Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she lost her voice as she quickly withdrew her hand like an electric shock, her heart pounding, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

Jia Heng said softly: "Xi'er wants to be like your second sister that day?"

Zhen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then recalled the events of that day, with a look of fear on her pretty face, she mumbled, "Brother Heng, don't..."

she is going to die...

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Xi'er is still young, let's talk about it later."

Zhen Xi can also be regarded as Wan Wan's class minister, Xiaoxiao gave him a big problem that day, she can't kill people to silence her, she can only do expedient measures first.

At this moment, Zhen Xi's delicate body trembled suddenly, she lowered her head, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng."

But when she thought that she was ordered by the old lady at home to serve him, it should be like this, the girl thought about this, but she didn't dare to move.

Jia Heng didn't make any further moves. These were not the purpose, but the means to break the ice. Otherwise, apart from Yuan Chun, Jin Yang and other high-ranking families, as well as the talented Baochai, there would also be Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue.

For others, he feels that he is the one who suffers, and he is completely helping the poor with technology.

Jia Heng suppressed the thoughts in his heart and asked: "Sister Xi'er, don't you have anything to ask me? I was still talking with your sister Lin just now, asking all kinds of questions."

Zhen Xi let out a "hmm", and in the arms of the young man behind her, she calmed down her flustered mind, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Heng, the older sister said earlier that you... are not like that, what's going on? ?”

That day, he was with his second sister...and his eldest sister. The three of them were together.

Jia Heng's eyes were gloomy, and he fell into the memories of the past, his voice gradually became cold, and he said: "This is a long story, and I have to start with your sister plotting against me."

As she said that, she told the girl what Zhen Qing did to her back then, of course some indescribable details were hidden.

Listening to Jia Heng's narration of the past, Zhen Xi's pretty face was as pale as frost, her heart was shocked, her bright eyes widened, and her pink lips moved slightly: "Brother Heng, big sister...how could she be like this?"

The second elder sister was her own younger sister, how could she take medicine to ruin the second elder sister's innocence, and even self-defeatingly involved herself in it.

Um, no, now even she...

And Brother Heng, judging from the storybook of the Three Kingdoms, he was so resourceful and scheming, yet he was tricked by the big sister?this……

"Your eldest sister may have her own difficulties." Jia Heng grabbed Zhen Xi's plain hand, with a light layer of impatiens flower juice on her slender fingers, and a red string bead chain on her wrist, and said softly: "But not It should be like that... Forget it, let's not talk about it."

As she talked with Jia Heng, especially the usual intimacy, it was not as painful as imagined, Zhen Xi also gradually dispelled some fear, and sighed: "Second sister is innocent, her life... ...What shall we do next?"

"Your second sister is the same as you. She was originally a victim. She is a bit innocent to say the least, but no one is wrong." The second sister has had a hard time these years, and your big sister who is the princess is persecuting her, so it is very difficult now."

Zhen Qing continued to play the villain at this time.

Under Zhen Xi's beautiful eyebrows, there was a gloomy look in her eyes as soft as water, and she said softly: "I heard from the third sister, the second sister...she hasn't had a good time in Beijing these years."

Some of the anger that Zhen Xue received in the Beijing Palace also spread to the Zhen family in Jiangnan through the mouth of Zhen Yingjia's wife Gan and the Zhen family's dowry mother.

Jia Heng said: "So, when you broke in suddenly, what your eldest sister said was not wrong. First, you were worried that the news would leak out. At that time, your second sister really didn't have to live. Second, your second sister really didn't have to live anymore. There was a big rock in my sister's heart, but you bumped into it, and if you think about it in a narrow place, the consequences will be disastrous."

That day, the reason why he acted like no one else was because he had no choice but to let go, and he also intended to unload Zhen Xue's psychological burden. Well, that day, Xue'er, whose shame was out of bounds, had a good effect.

Jia Heng's face was lost, and his eyes tightened again.

Zhen Xi has a soft temperament and a kind heart. After this explanation, she might be able to sympathize with Zhen Xue, so that Xue Er doesn't have to worry about the strange eyes from her cousin.

Zhenxi's jade face was glowing like a rosy glow, she bit her cherry lips with her white teeth, and said, "But I told you that day... I will keep it a secret."

Obviously she said it all, but the eldest sister still pulled her like that...

"That day, your eldest sister felt that it would be safer to pull you into the water, and I was also in a momentary mood." Jia Heng said softly, then fell silent for a while, and said: "Of course, if Xi'er regrets and doesn't want to stay here, I'll take you back That's fine, Xi'er treats these days as a dream, as long as you keep the secret in your stomach, it's fine and you don't see each other again in the future."

"I...I won't go back." Zhen Xi blurted out after hearing this, her face changed slightly.

The old lady told her that night that only if she went to Ningguo Mansion to serve Brother Haoheng, the Zhen family would not suffer any disaster in the future, and she could not go back.

And getting along with each other these days... Brother Heng doesn't seem to be a bad person.

"Now that I have lost my innocence, can I...can I still marry someone else?" The girl seemed to be worried about Jia Heng's words to go back, so she said softly again.

Hearing this, Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said softly: "It's not easy to go back, it's all like this now."

That's what he said just now, and now it's impossible to send Zhen Xi back.

Zhen Xi was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Brother Heng is still worried about being plotted by big sister?"

"There are some, but it doesn't help to talk about them now." Jia Heng said softly, now Zhen Qing couldn't shake her off even if she wanted to. Looking at the girl with bright eyes, she lightly scratched the bridge of Zhen Xi's nose, Said: "You are Bingxue smart."

The girl just looks like a little white rabbit, but her mind is crystal clear, her understanding is not low, and it remains to be seen whether she is even an advanced hunter appearing in the image of her prey.

Listening to the young man's praise, Zhen Xi lowered her eyebrows and felt a little bit ashamed in her heart, and explained: "Listening to what Sister Lin said about the past two days, Brother Heng should have a temperament that would rather be bent than bent. , I have to be unwilling, otherwise, Big Sister wouldn't have...wouldn't have stolen chickens and lost money."

Jia Heng: "..."

As he spoke, he gently held the girl's face, and moved closer to her trembling eyelashes.

After a while, looking at the girl with her bright eyes closed and her lips moist, she said in a low voice: "Sister Xi'er said that she is reaping the consequences of her own evil, and she is bound in a cocoon."

Compared with Xueer's hypocritical enjoyment, Zhen Xi, who is in size M, may have a tendency to Stockholm syndrome.

Zhen Xi turned her blushing face aside, her delicate voice trembling slightly, she said softly: "Brother Keheng, Big Sister and Second Sister... This is not a long-term solution."

Jia Heng pinched the girl's round and clean chin, looked into the flustered bright eyes, and said softly: "Then Xi'er gave me an idea, your big sister is holding me now, what do you think I should do?"

Stockholm and converts are fanatical, sometimes twins.

Zhen Xi pursed her pink lips, lowered her head and said: "Brother Heng has written so many schemes, so he should have a solution. I have nothing to do. I'm not as smart as Third Sister."

Jia Heng said softly: "Xi'er can tell me what to do in the future, but I can't tell your third sister. If your third sister can't say it, you can tell."

"Yeah." Zhen Xi responded in a low voice, "Brother Heng's storybook, Third Sister recommended it to me before, but I wasn't very interested in it before."

Jia Heng asked: "Then why do you look like this again these days?"

The little girl is quite honest, Zhen Lan may be interested in the Three Kingdoms script, while Zhen Xi is more interested in poetry.

Zhen Xi hurriedly said: "I've been free recently to look around."

"It's because we might live together in the future, so we can read books and get to know people in advance, so we can see if it's as scary as that day?" Jia Heng said.

Zhen Xi was poked into his heart, his cheeks flushed immediately, and he said shyly, "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng held Zhen Xi in his arms and said softly: "In the future, we will get along for a long time, but sister Xi'er is always shy like this, but it's not okay."

With contact, Zhenxi's temperament is slightly different from Xue'er, or the youth version of Xue'er is also innocent, and after becoming the princess of Beijing, she gradually becomes gentle and dignified.

Zhen Xi pursed her cherry lips, and said: "I'm like this at home, Brother Heng doesn't like it, I...I can change it."

The third sister is more lively and cheerful, maybe Brother Heng likes the third sister like that?

Jia Heng looked at the timid girl and said, "What should I change, Xi'er is fine now."

As he spoke, he moved closer to the girl's lips and held them tightly.

After a while, looking at the girl with flushed cheeks, Jia Heng picked up the slender catkin, took a ring and put it in gently, saying: "This is for Sister Xi'er."

Zhen Xi looked at the shiny ring, her heart was filled with joy and joy, and she said softly: "Brother Heng, this... this is too precious."

Jia Heng said: "It's a gift for meeting, sister Xi'er will look better wearing it."

At the beginning, he just gave Zhen Xue a ring, and now he also gave Zhen Xi a ring, and a girl of Zhen Xi's age, if she treats her a little better, she will give you great feedback, and that kind of boxing is superb The old fairy of the old fairy has long passed the age of being shy and red-faced, cheating on food, drinking, gifts, car, house and bride price, and then she still doesn't forget to play you.

When Zhen Xi heard the words, a gleam of joy appeared in her bright eyes.

Jia Heng said in a low voice: "In a few days, I'm going to travel far away and need to travel a long distance. You and your sister Lin are waiting at Ningguo Mansion in Jinling. Don't go anywhere at home."

As he said that, he embraced the girl and kissed her intimately. The relationship between people is to get along slowly.

Zhen Xi let out a "huh" and was hugged by the young man behind her, her heart was filled with shyness and joy.

Kaifeng

At the ferry, the waves on the river flow away with the wind, the willows on the embankment hang down, and the green branches and leaves sway with the wind.

Marquis Zhongjing Shi Ding led several long followers, waiting at the ferry, looking at the sail shadow coming from afar, obviously waiting for a long time.

Because Princess Jinyang is the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the princess of the royal family, she is going south to Yangzhou for business. Although the officials along the way want to ask for a meeting, after Princess Jinyang leaves Guanzhong, she orders people to go ashore in Luoyang to replenish the water source. And vegetables aside, did not stay.

At the same time, there are Jinyi Tiqi escorting along the road, which can be said to have achieved the ultimate in safety and security.

"Here we come, Lord Marquis." A servant shouted excitedly, pointing at the distant ship.

Shi Ding also saw joy in his eyes, and said: "Follow me to meet you."

At this moment, the towering boat, as tall as a city, tore through the sparkling river, the flags and flags on the mast fluttered in the wind, surrounded by several smaller ships, and groups of guards and inner guards in bright armor Look alert.

Building ship, cabin on the second floor

Princess Jinyang wore a red dress and stood in front of the window, looking up at the winding green hills receding into the distance.

The beauty's phoenix eyes fluttered under Liu Ye's beautiful eyebrows. She turned her eyes to look at Yuan Chun, and said with a soft smile, "Yuan Chun, the city of Kaifeng is ahead."

"Yes, Your Highness, the last time Brother Heng sat on the embankment in Kaifeng, it seems like yesterday." Yuan Chun's voice was round and smooth, soft and soft.

Yuan Chun is wearing a light yellow palace dress today, her hair is combed in a bun, the beauty who is over the age of [-] is plump and graceful, her beautiful face is as beautiful as peaches and plums, her jade cheeks are lightly blush, and her lips are moistened with pink The petals are illuminated by the sun, and the light is slightly fluorescent.

Under the neck, a large piece of white skin is dazzling, and a string of crystal clear and full pearl necklaces hangs on the neck, swinging in the soft fragrance of makeup and powder.

Princess Jinyang said softly: "The day before yesterday, Fei Ge sent a letter saying that Jiangnan's salt affairs and military affairs have been straightened out, and the rest are just a few leftovers. He plans to go to Suzhou to visit Kuaiji Consort."

That son-in-law was also a person with outstanding intelligence back then, but it was a pity that he was favored by the imperial sister and wasted many years in the transshipment department of the Huaihe River and Huaihe Capital.

Yuan Chun looked at the thoughtful beauty, and said softly, "Brother Heng said when he was in Beijing that if he went south to Gusu, he would accompany Sister Lin to worship aunt."

Princess Jinyang asked with interest: "The daughter of Lin Yushi's family?"

Yuan Chun breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Sister Lin has been in Beijing for seven or eight years since she was six years old. This time she is going south, and she will pay homage to her aunt."

Princess Jinyang nodded, and asked softly, "That Bao girl from before is a girl from the Xue family?"

Jia Shi Wang Xue's family is a family of in-laws, she has met Xiangyun before, she is charming and innocent, like a pistachio, but that Baochai faintly feels that...the relationship with him is a bit unusual.

This time Baochai also went south with Yuanchun, of course, in name, to visit the old house in Jinling, visit a relative, and handle some business at the same time.

Yuan Chun smiled and said: "Sister Xue is indeed the descendant of Ziwei when the country was founded. Among all the sisters in our family, the two younger sisters Xue Lin are of first-class character, and their poetry is unparalleled."

"I think your third younger sister is pretty good, she has the temperament of Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying." The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled like a flower, and said softly.

Yuan Chun smiled and said, "When Brother Heng was around, he also said the same thing about Third Sister."

Princess Jinyang said: "I heard that there is a second girl and a fourth girl."

Because of her relationship with Jia Heng, Princess Jinyang naturally has an understanding of the female family members of the Jia family.

"Your Highness said that Sister Yingchun and Sister Xichun are quiet-tempered." Yuan Chun said softly.

Princess Jinyang smiled and said, "It's rare."

This family's boudoir Qiongyu, no wonder he didn't often go to her house when he was in Beijing.

The two were talking, and a tall, bright-looking woman in a female officer's attire entered the cabin with a stack of books, looked at Princess Jinyang, and said softly: "Your Highness, the accounts compiled by the Luoyang Household Office have been checked. Yes, please take a look, Your Highness."

Princess Jinyang cast her beautiful eyes on Fu Qiufang when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "It's fine to let it go first. When you arrive in Shangqiu, you can pass through Xinyang Prefecture. If Qiufang wants to send someone to deliver a letter to your brother and sister-in-law, this palace and Xiahou Tell her to send someone to deliver it."

Fu Qiufang is Fu Shi's younger sister. After Fu Shi became the magistrate of Xinyang Prefecture, he wanted to cling to Jia Heng, so he found an excuse to keep Fu Qiufang by Jia Heng's side, but Jia Heng sent her to the princess of Jinyang. Now she is serving as the female officer of Zanshan.

Fu Qiufang said generously: "It's too far away, and it's not easy to bother Her Highness, and my brother may be dealing with official business."

Princess Jinyang nodded.

But at this moment, with a clear and sweet voice, he said: "Mother, my cousin and I got off the boat to pick the persimmons, you can taste them."

As soon as the words fell, Qinghe Princess Li Chanyue and Princess Xianning, accompanied by Lianxue, entered the second floor of the cabin.

Princess Jinyang looked at Princess Qinghe and Princess Xianning, and said with a smile: "I said, when we were docking in Luoyang, what did you two bring your guards to do? It turned out that you went to pick persimmons."

At this time, Lianxue ordered the servant girl to bring over a dozen persimmons, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, these persimmons are ripe and can be eaten."

Princess Xianning came over and said with a light smile, "I've been sitting on the boat, and I'm feeling a bit bored. Chanyue and I went down for a walk to get some air."

On the other side of the cabin, Baochai sat with Xiangyun and Tanchun, while the maids from Jia's mansion waited on them, Xiangyun and Tanchun were playing chess.

Baochai, on the other hand, gently pushed the bamboo curtain with one hand, looking at the sparkling river water, like a memory floating on Li Rui's snow-white jade face.

Tanchun ate a horse from Xiangyun, his eyes were clear and clear under his heroic eyebrows, and he said, "Sister Bao, what are you thinking?"

When Baochai heard the words, she turned her face and said softly, "I didn't think about it. From a distance, it looks like the prefecture of Kaifeng. I didn't think there was a big battle a few months ago."

Thinking about the little things with him, how is he doing in Nan Province?There is also a frown...

Thinking of this, there was an unreasonable worry in my heart.

Tanchun said softly: "We didn't rush either, Sister Xianning went with Brother Heng back then."

Xiangyun put down the chess pieces at this time, came to Baochai, and said: "Sister Bao, there are many places to play in Kaifeng, but Aunt Jinyang doesn't stay in Kaifeng, otherwise I would take my sister to visit Kaifeng. "

Baochai saw a smile in her apricot eyes, and said: "Sister Yun, there are many interesting places in Jinling. When we arrive, I will take Sister Lin around."

"Sister Bao, we will be able to see Brother Heng at that time, let Brother Heng take us there." Xiangyun said with a smile, then looked at Tanchun, and said, "Sister Three, stop playing chess for now."

Tanchun jokingly said, "Sister Yun, you are about to lose this game, and you deliberately reneged on your debts again."

"I can't be reckless, this game is still a draw." Xiang Yun said with a light smile.

While the little girls were making fun of each other, a female official came in and said, "Girls, we have arrived in Kaifeng. The princess said that he will rest in Kaifeng for a couple of days. The next rest will be Xuzhou. Marquis Zhongjing is waiting on the shore." , Miss Yun, come and have a look."

Xiangyun took Baochai's hand and said softly, "Sister Bao, let's go and have a look."
