The Red Mansions

Chapter 506 Jia Heng: Big Sister Always

Chapter 506 Jia Heng: Big Sister Always...

Jinyang Princess Palace

The lantern hanging under the lintel, accompanied by a gust of breeze, swayed a cloud of light and shadow, and the golden lacquered copper nails on the vermilion gate suddenly reflected light, dazzling the eyes.

"His Royal Highness has returned to the residence." The servant woman outside the door called.

As the layers were delivered to the inside, the servants dispersed to the sides, and the female officers and maids surrounded all the way, shouting and hugging Princess Jinyang and her party into the hall.

Jia Heng asked the followers of Jinyi Mansion to leave first, and then entered the mansion with Princess Jinyang.

At this time, the night shrouded the earth, and a bright moon shone brightly on the sky, and the moonlight was like silver.

Walking to a beautifully decorated attic in the backyard, Jia Heng took a sip of butter tea and said softly: "Your Highness, a total of 6 taels of gold and 130 million taels of silver were confiscated just now. , Zhuang Qi, it can almost make up for the lack of imperial mausoleum corruption."

According to the anecdotes he read in his previous life, it is said that Heshen ransacked 4 taels of gold and more than 280 million taels of silver. A list of children said that his wealth was equivalent to several hundred million taels.

"Where is this? It's only two or three million taels of wealth. You don't know him, the so-called cunning rabbit and three caves. Since he became king, he has searched for wealth and is greedy and vulgar. In fact, even Concubine Wu may not know all the money he has. Where to put it." The eldest princess Jinyang stretched out her slender hands, picked up the teacup, and put her pink lips on the porcelain bowl.

Instructed Lianxue to prepare meals.

Jia Heng frowned, and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Just now, he also faintly felt that it didn't match King Zhongshun's net worth, and a few million taels seemed unreasonable, so he could only guess whether it was squandered by him.

Princess Jinyang laughed lightly, and said: "The Imperial Mausoleum's greedy ink is three or four million taels of ink. These goods are enough, but there are still those who have not been accounted for by the Ministry of Internal Affairs? He has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for more than ten years, but He often ransacked other people's homes, not to mention the money he obtained from the confiscation and the profits from various industries. As long as he concealed some casually, the account books of the Guangchu Division and the Kuaiji Division would not be recorded, as well as his other gardens in various places. , every summer he inspects tea and mines in various provinces in the name of inspecting, is there any silver or property hidden?"

During house raids, according to the usual practice, gold and silver were sent to the Guangchu Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and only part of the silver was sent to the household department and local treasury according to the palace's order.

As for the industry, it is also run by relevant officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with a large number of accounts.

That's why Emperor Chongping wanted to send Empress Song's younger brother to such a large yamen. He used to serve as the doctor of Kuaiji, and he also learned the lesson of King Zhongshun's single-handed control of the House of Internal Affairs.

Jia Heng looked at Princess Jinyang, and said softly: "Your Highness, do you think King Zhongshun is still hiding?"

In fact, in another time and space, when the Qing court seized Wang Danwang's family property, Qianlong was looking forward to the Mi Fu copybooks collected in his home, but the result did not appear on the list of confiscated homes. From this, Chen Huizu, who was found to confiscate the officials, even replaced the confiscated ones. things.

"Don't think about it, there must be something hidden." Princess Jinyang frowned, and said softly: "The silver in the secret room and treasury of his palace is just the tip of the iceberg. I suspect that he is in the palace or Xiaolu Garden. There is a cellar dug, hidden silver, tomorrow, you find someone to take a good inventory, it is best to dig Xiaoluyuan three feet into the ground, and search it carefully."

"Since that's the case, why don't you ask Zhou Changshi and the former Kuaiji doctor, they must know." Jia Heng said in a deep voice.

Princess Jinyang said: "That's fine. It's impossible for Zangyin to handle it without looking for someone. If there is someone who knows, it's easy to look for it."

Jia Heng nodded and said: "In other words, there should be 800 taels of property, which is more than corruption in the imperial mausoleum, but the Holy Majesty did not actually say that the royal family should be seized."

The imperial decree of Emperor Chongping did not say that all the family assets of the Zhongshun Palace should be seized, but only that the property of the officials involved in the case should be seized in order to recover the stolen money and make up for the shortfall. This decree is high-sounding and not clear.

Xu Shi felt that copying the family's loyalty to the palace was a bit ugly, it was detrimental to the sanctity, and the will was ambiguous.

"He has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for so many years. I'm afraid it will be more than that. I'm afraid he will have more than 2000 million taels of property. When you copy it out, make a list and hand it to the emperor." Princess Jinyang Yu Rong Youyou said softly.

She knows her imperial brother too well. If so much property is really confiscated, it is either a confiscated house or a confiscated house.

Jia Heng agreed: "I think so too, so much wealth is enough to fight a national war."

Money touches people's hearts, and when they delivered the list to Emperor Chongping, they almost didn't think about it except for their hearts.

"Otherwise, what do you think I just talked nicely with Concubine Wu just now?" Princess Jinyang said softly.

Jia Heng glanced at the increasingly charming beauty, and thought to himself, this is quite proud of her.

Not far away, Yuan Chun was a little surprised when he heard the two talking.

Secretly thought, this eldest princess of Jinyang is elegant and generous, she is suitable for an IKEA family, and she is indeed Brother Heng's virtuous helper.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, I'm a little hungry right now, Ziyu can use some together." The princess of Jinyang showed a smile on her jade face.

At this time, Lianxue came in and reported: "Your Highness, the meal in the back kitchen is ready."

A few people went to the side hall and gathered around a table for dinner. The dishes were rich and delicious.

Princess Jinyang sat at the main seat, while Jia Heng and Yuan Chun sat opposite each other.

Jia Heng asked curiously: "Why didn't you see the little princess today?"

Princess Jinyang said: "You mean Chanyue, you stayed in the palace yesterday, staying with Concubine Duanrong, and stayed with Xianning for two days."

When Jia Heng heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

After finishing the meal, Princess Jinyang turned her eyes to Yuan Chun who was at the side, and said softly: "Yuan Chun, Ben Gong and Zi Yu came to Lu Ming Xuan to talk about today's search, you go and rest first."

Yuan Chun's heart twitched slightly, knowing what the two of them were going to do, he felt sore for some reason, and said softly, "Then, Your Highness, I'll go back first."

Even if Qing knew that the two had an affair and their relationship was extraordinary, it was not easy for His Royal Highness Jinyang to know about the matter between her and Brother Heng.

Jia Heng turned his eyes to look at Yuan Chun, nodded at him, then talked with Princess Jinyang, and turned to Lu Mingxuan.

Lumingxuan, brightly lit, warm and pleasant inside.

As soon as she entered the inner room, the eldest princess of Jinyang had a cold and cold look, her beautiful eyes sized up the young man, and she asked, "Dudu Jia, who do you think should be responsible for supervising the construction of the imperial mausoleum after this incident?"

Jia Heng looked at the pretty beauty, and knew that Li'er probably hadn't had enough fun, so he had to think for a while, and said seriously: "Your Highness, if it is the supervision of the imperial tomb, Xu is still in charge of the vassal king, most likely it is the king of Qi and the king of Chu. The two kings have chosen one."

Princess Jinyang looked at the young man with a clear face, secretly convinced him of his intelligence, and said softly: "The news I got from the palace is that the king of Chu went to the palace early in the morning, and the king of Qi was also there. Father came to his son and asked to supervise the repair of the imperial mausoleum, and because of his love for Chen Cheng, he must agree to it, and it is estimated that tonight, when the emperor gave father the time to save time, he might bring up this matter."

When it came to the end, the tone was a bit playful.

However, for a moment, he suddenly felt that he was hugged from behind by the young man, and his own skirt was also untied by dexterous hands like butterflies.

"I haven't finished my business yet." Princess Jinyang said angrily.

Jia Heng said: "Your Highness said, I'm busy with mine."

Princess Jinyang: "???"

However, while speaking, the skirt was untied.

"If Chen Cheng supervises the construction of the imperial mausoleum, once it is completed, it is possible to restore the title of prince, and even with this merit, there is a possibility of becoming a crown prince." The eldest princess of Jinyang raised her head slightly, her jade face dizzy, and said in a low voice : "I know that you...offended him."

Suddenly, he felt something strange in front of him, and his voice was trembling.

The two hugged each other, and Princess Jinyang sat on the bed.

"What happened to him before has been disliked by the Holy One, and he has no chance." Jia Heng's words were vague.

The candlelight on the high table is shining brightly, a golden hairpin with phoenix wings is swaying, the tassels are lightly fluttering, the princess Liu Yexiu of Jinyang frowned, her face was dyed red, she gently hugged Jia Heng's shoulders, and hugged the child generally.

"Ziyu, there is something I want to tell you?"

Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, and said, "What's the matter?"

Secretly, there must be one, right?

Surprised, he secretly thought, it should be impossible, although every time... such a coincidence should not happen.

The eldest princess of Jinyang put her slender arms around Jia Heng's neck, and smiled sweetly. A strand of hair from her temples gently stroked Jia Heng's cheeks on her peach-shame face, and said softly: "Serve me once, This palace will tell you."

I don't know, when he learned that his family sister was upset because of her, what should he look like?

She didn't intend to tell him the details of the fact that the two were not related by blood, but actually wanted to see how he would choose.

Jia Heng whispered: "Are you still addicted?"

After eating sweet tofu nao, I don’t want to eat salty tofu nao.

"Then I don't want to know." Jia Heng said softly.

Princess Jinyang: "..."

"Okay, just this time, I will serve you later." Li Ren said softly.

Seeing that Jia Heng just didn't respond, he said angrily, "Zi Yu, brother Heng, okay."

At this moment, the beauty hugged the boy's arm, her cheeks were blushing, and she breathed like blue in Jia Heng's ear.

Jia Heng's face is weird. Brother Heng, this is the name that Li Ren calls out when she is extremely emotional and self-forgetful. Are you really addicted?

Especially at this moment, being held in my arms, like a young woman holding a child in Huaxin, suddenly shouting such a sentence in my ear, I really... can't stand it.

"Okay, stop shouting, your head is getting bigger." Jia Heng caressed the beauty's face, pinching it involuntarily.

The eldest princess of Jinyang, with a beautiful face and a sweet heart, leaned her head on Jia Heng's shoulder and said softly, "Then thank you Dudu Jia."

But Yuan Chun, after leaving the attic, returned to his place of residence with a calm expression, sitting on the bed, a little absent-minded, repeatedly kneading a corner of the handkerchief in his hand, even though he knew that he shouldn't be jealous, but deep in his heart was inevitably sore .

When the eldest princess let her go, Brother Heng didn't respond at all?

Well, no, I still nodded to her.

No, what kind of reaction did she hope Brother Heng would have?

In fact, girls are already like women in the period of passionate love, worrying about gains and losses.

At this moment, a black shadow came from far and near, and landed on Yuan Chun's lost face, and the gentle voice of holding the qin sounded in his ears, and said softly: "Girl, it's getting late, why don't you prepare?" A hot shower?"

Yuan Chun came back to his senses, his beautiful eyes sparkled, and he said in a low voice: "Well, you go and prepare."

Baoqin glanced at her own girl curiously, and under her shameful gaze, she quickly turned around and told the nanny, while she prepared to change clothes inside and out for Yuanchun.

Yuan Chun sat for a while, then walked out of the wing room, raised his plump and beautiful face, and looked at the desolate night, under the flower wall, stood a gazebo, with a corner of the cornice like an open swallow's wing, hidden behind the shadow of the sycamore tree.

Because the sky has cleared and the moon is bright, the moonlight falls on the blue tiles and railings of the pavilion, and it flows like water.

The Princess Jinyang Mansion used to occupy a vast area, and the courtyard was almost like a star cluster. The courtyard was filled with willows and garden flowers, the corridors were long and winding, the pavilions were majestic and majestic, the pavilions were tall and majestic, and the pavilions and waterside pavilions were surrounded by bamboo, wood and streams. The woods, flowers and trees are lush and lush, and the rockery is stacked with greenery.

Yuan Chun stared at the scenery in a daze, but he couldn't calm down. Instead, he was flustered. He bit his pink lip with his white teeth, and a faint imprint was reflected. His legs in the skirt were uncontrollable, and he walked towards Lu Mingxuan.

At this time, the night was hazy, even though there were maids in the mansion coming and going, Yuan Chun still "sneaked" towards Lu Mingxuan relying on the ability to distinguish sounds with light steps that he had practiced in the palace.

I saw that Lu Mingxuan's study room was really brightly lit, and the streams under the surrounding covered bridges were rushing.

Because, Jia Heng and Princess Jinyang have been entangled for several times, so it is impossible for Lianxue to stare at her all the time.

Yuan Chun walked closer along the stone path shaded by flowers and trees, and found the window of the study where the room was located last time, tiptoed over, and looked in from the opened window.

"Brother Heng... is he so focused?" Yuan Chun narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and gently covered her mouth with a handkerchief. After thinking for a long time, the word "focus" came to mind.

Immediately, her cheeks were hot, her delicate body became weak, and she felt her heart beating violently.

Suddenly, a hearty voice suddenly appeared in the room, it was from Princess Jinyang.

"Okay, I will serve you too." The beauty propped herself up on one arm, gently stroked a strand of hair beside her ear, and said angrily.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Chun couldn't help covering his mouth.

Is this what Brother Heng said last time?

Sure enough, His Highness Jinyang is not contemptuous of Brother Heng, but how can this be?

Jia Heng closed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Just now, what did you tell me?"

"It's about Yuanchun." Princess Jinyang said softly, pinching her handkerchief.

As soon as this remark came out, Yuan Chun, who was peeking outside, was startled. At this time, why mention her?

Suppressing the doubts in my heart, I quietly listened to the conversation inside.

"Big sister, what's wrong with her?" The boy's voice trembled slightly.

Yuan Chun was stunned for a moment, but saw that the eldest princess sat down again, the golden hairpin on her head reflected the candlelight, showing off candlelights of different distances.

How can this work, isn't this... the translocation of the universe?

"Ziyu, your elder sister...does she have feelings for you?" Princess Jinyang frowned slightly, and then slowly relaxed.

"Well, you... what nonsense are you talking about?" Jia Heng was taken aback for a moment, then said in a startled voice, and got up involuntarily.

Princess Jinyang snorted, and said in a trembling voice: "Bengong...why did I lie to you? She played the piano that day, and she looked very preoccupied, which is clearly because of her feelings."

"absurd."

As soon as this remark came out, the girl outside the window bit her lips with her white teeth, and even felt a sense of embarrassment in her heart. Even though she knew that Brother Heng was denying it in order to cover it up, why...is she still a little angry?

Who is ridiculous?

You didn't say that at noon today.

"By the way, what are you going to do?" Princess Jinyang joked with a chuckle.

"What should I do? What should I do to mention these things?" Jia Heng frowned and said softly.

It's not easy for others to know about the matter between him and Yuan Chun. It's fine if Jin Yang finds out by himself. If he doesn't find out, he won't take the initiative to tell.

Princess Jinyang chuckled and said, "Do you dare to say that you have no other thoughts?"

"What else could I have thought?"

"The marriage matter falls on you. You said it yourself at the beginning."

Jia Heng: "..."

"Where did you hear this?" Jia Heng turned over and patted Feng Yuan lightly. Suddenly, there was a crisp sound.

This scene naturally fell in Yuan Chun's eyes, his pupils shrank slightly, and his heart immediately felt sore.

I don't know if it's because of this tacit understanding or because of this scene.

"Don't say you have no thoughts, don't you have no thoughts at all, I don't believe it."

Since she said she wanted to help Yuan Chun, she had to ask.

Jia Heng frowned and said, "Don't talk about it, I can't stop you, right?"

"You... still don't admit it." Liren said in shame, but instead became interested, she snorted, her beautiful eyes slightly opened, and she said in a charming voice: "Maybe I will serve you with her, just like this, side by side..."

Jia Heng paused, her heart skipped a beat, like palpitations.

This Li'er, it's all said... There is a picture.

"You really have thoughts." Princess Jinyang turned her head, her beautiful eyes half-smile, and said: "I have tried it, you really have such a heart."

Cai's reaction just now was definitely not a fake, that kind of close embrace, even the slightest bit, was magnified to the extreme.

She seems to have discovered something extraordinary?

Jia Heng's face was reddish, and he almost became angry from embarrassment, and said angrily: "What are you talking about, you are getting more and more nonsense, she is me..."

It's really hard to say the following words, but at this moment, there is a bit of desperation and want to hide it.

"Isn't that better? Kissing each other more?" It seemed that Jia Heng was anxious and annoyed.

Jia Heng was annoyed: "You still say yes?"

But at this moment Yuan Chun was standing outside the window, he felt that half of his body didn't seem to be his own, his cheeks were white and plump with baby fat, and they were already as red as clouds, both ashamed and angry.

He spat secretly, the two of them were so shameless, they were messing around on their own, and they wanted to bring her with words?

Just like that, side by side...

Ok?

What is she thinking?

Like Jia Heng, the sense of picture almost appears in the mind, almost reappearing.

However, he heard the beauty say embarrassing words intermittently.

Yuan Chun was about to leave, but for some reason, his feet seemed to have taken root, and they stayed in place until his pair of embroidered shoes were tightly closed together, and suddenly he wanted to relieve himself.

But the young man in the room hugged His Highness and got up.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Jia Heng suddenly felt a familiar sense of peeping, and subconsciously looked towards the window shaded by the bamboo grove and flower wall, and was facing a pair of dodging bright eyes, as full as water, moistening his mind.

However, as if with a bit of unspeakable embarrassment, he dodged away as soon as he touched it.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing."

Jia Heng said in a low voice, and put Princess Jinyang down again.
