The Red Mansions

Chapter 365 Yuanchun 1 Dream

Chapter 365 Yuanchun Dream

It's night, the Princess Jinyang's mansion.

In the courtyard where Yuan Chun lived, the lights in the wing rooms were brightly lit, and a graceful and quiet figure was projected on a glass screen.

The girl who had changed into a light red jacket and skirt, with her beautiful hair tied up in a beautiful bun, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, plump cheeks, and white and greasy skin, was sitting on the bed, with the lamp on, reading a book intently.

Because she had just bathed in the afternoon, Yurong Li's cheeks were dizzy, and under the glowing candlelight, her pink skin seemed to be able to squeeze out water.

"Ugh……"

Yuan Chun sighed faintly, unable to calm down at this moment, he once again stared at the dancing candles in a trance.

For some reason, the scene I saw before reappeared in front of my eyes again, and even when I closed my eyes, it appeared in front of my eyes, as if I couldn't get rid of it in my mind.

Yuan Chun frowned, and hurriedly dismissed the red-faced scene again, thinking, "Brother Heng...His Royal Highness is clearly ten years older than him, so there must be some kind of difficulty for this."

It was also Jia's past "abstinence" image that left a deep-rooted impression on Yuan Chun, so that Yuan Chun never thought that Jia Heng was voluntary.

"I remember that brother Heng didn't show up, and he entered the palace to meet the saint, and walked the way of the eldest princess of Jinyang, so it must be the eldest princess who forced brother Heng. The eldest princess has been a widow for many years, and she is lonely and unbearable." Yuan Chun read. Here, Yurong was reddish, and there was a bit of annoyance in her heart.

Brother Heng obviously regards his own merits as the emperor's most important thing. At the beginning of his career, the eldest princess ruled him. Otherwise, with brother Heng's self-discipline, it would be impossible for him to come to the eldest princess's residence in Jinyang for several days.

While dealing with official duties, he also has to accompany the eldest princess.

"A widow, actually still poses like that... I really don't feel ashamed." Yuan Chun was not good at cursing Princess Jinyang secretly, but he also complained.

"Girl, it's late at night, it's time to rest." Just as Yuan Chun was in a state of uncertainty, he entered the room with the piano in his arms and said softly.

"Yes, I see." Yuan Chun responded softly, put his books on the desk, removed his shoes and socks, untied his skirt, put on only a plain silk jacket, got on the bed, and lifted the brocade quilt superior.

Holding the qin, he took down the golden hook that hung the curtain, and the curtain slowly fell. He turned around and lowered his head to blow out the lights, and the wing room was suddenly plunged into darkness.

Yuan Chun was lying on the bed at the moment, the girl closed her eyes, her eyelashes drooped, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

However, the previous picture reappeared in his mind, he let out a soft snort, dispersed, and turned over.

At the beginning of the child, accompanied by the sound of even and regular breathing, the girl fell into a drowsy sleep.

The winter night is long, the moon is bright, and the cold wind outside the window is noisy.

In the middle of the night, on the embroidered couch under the bed curtain, the sound of breathing suddenly became rapid. The girl who was sleeping peacefully, faintly let out a grunt from Qiong's nose, and a strange blush appeared on both sides of her plump and soft face. There was even an indistinct murmur in his mouth.

But it was a dream, the fragments of the dream were fleeting, most of them were clips of light and film clips, just a few scenes, and even a little confused.

Along with the ripples and ripples of the water circles, the dream suddenly appeared:

"Crackling..."

A long string of firecrackers raised high on bamboo poles sounded, Ningguo Mansion was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and the doors were filled with guests.

"Who is this getting married?" Yuan Chun was standing in the courtyard at the moment, listening to the noise around him, he felt a sense of doubt in his heart, and walked slowly to the eaves of the flower hall.

All the halls and halls are decorated with red brocade, and on the beams and walls, pearls are deeply inlaid, shining brightly and full of flowers. In the center of the hall, there is a red double happiness character, every stroke is filled with a festive atmosphere.

"Worship heaven and earth."

Just then, a nun called out loudly.

Yuan Chun's beautiful eyes turned, and he looked at the voice, and saw the tall and straight boy, like a Zhilan Yushu, wearing a red groom's official costume, with a spring breeze on his face, holding a red silk with a hydrangea, and a woman covered with a floral cloth. Say goodbye to the outside world.

This is Brother Heng?

Yuan Chun frowned, looked at the familiar young man's face, and thought, "Since brother Heng is getting married, why did he get married in Ningguo Mansion?"

Surrounding the surrounding area, you can see a house full of jewels and emeralds, gorgeous costumes, Yingchun, Tanchun, Baochai, and Daiyu are all laughing and discussing.

And from some discussions around him, Yuan Chun was slightly surprised, his beautiful eyes were bright and flowing, "Brother Heng is marrying the eldest princess of Jinyang?"

Yuan Chun frowned, subconsciously looking for Qin Keqing, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Two thanks to the high hall."

I saw the mother's voice again, I saw the first few people chatting and laughing, and there was clearly an old lady with silver hair in the middle, but a man and a woman accompanying her, I couldn't see their faces clearly.

"It's the old lady." Yuan Chun murmured in his heart, "Are the other two Brother Heng's parents, or the queen dowager and emperor in the palace?"

"Happy husband and wife."

Mammy called out again.

I saw the groom and Princess Jinyang, who was wearing a phoenix embroidered hijab and wearing a fiery red wedding dress, bowed to each other.

"Send to the bridal chamber."

Accompanied by Mammy's shout, for some reason, the sky, which was originally still the afterglow of dusk, suddenly became dark, with red lights hanging high on the porch eaves and candles ablaze.

But Yuan Chun found himself in a festively decorated wing room.

Looking around, I saw that in the bridal chamber, on the lacquered wooden high table, two candles as thick as a baby's arm were painted with golden happy characters, and there were candied fruit, dried fruit, longan, red dates, pomegranate and other things on the table.

Yuan Chun stared at the young man sitting on the bed, and sighed softly in his heart, "Brother Heng married Her Royal Highness, I don't know what Keqing should do?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the young man pick up a jade ruyi from the bamboo basket full of melon seeds, and went to pick out the bride's red hijab.

For some reason, Yuan Chun's breath became short of breath, and there seemed to be a faint wave of anticipation in Fang's heart.

At this moment, the flower hijab was lifted away by the young man, revealing a beautiful and charming face, with a plump face, and under the willow-leaf slender eyebrows, the eyes are rippling, bright and moving.

"This...how is it me?" Yuan Chunmei opened her eyes slightly, looked at the familiar woman, and then suddenly found that she was already sitting on the bed.

The usually majestic and majestic young man on the opposite side had a warm smile on his face, and said in his ear:

"Your Highness, it's night, it's time to rest."

"Brother Heng, it's me..." Yuan Chun was anxious, and said quickly, but found that the voice was in his mouth, but he couldn't make it at all. He wanted to get up and leave, but found that it was like a ghost pressing the bed.

Then a voice came from my ear, "Your Highness, don't be ashamed..."

Then I saw Brother Heng began to rustle the groom's clothes, and came over to quickly untie his own skirt, almost like two or three strokes.

On the couch, Yuan Chun suddenly woke up from the bed. At some point, his body was scorching hot, and beads of sweat oozed from his smooth and jade-like forehead...

Yuan Chun's cheeks were hot, his eyebrows were arched, and his beautiful eyes were as moist as water.

"Am I... dreaming?"

The girl's round and jade-like face was hot and hot, and she was extremely ashamed for a while.

Especially the scene in the dream where the light and shadow are broken, but the memory is still vivid.

After a long time, Yuan Chun sighed softly, but he didn't know whether it was embarrassment or disappointment, and his eyes were absent-minded.

In fact, what a woman of this age sees during the day leaves a strong impression in her mind, and if her mind is not right, it appears in her dreams, and the dreams are mostly spliced ​​subconscious fragments, such as shouting "no" Coming out is like having a nightmare and can't escape. This is depression, and the scene after that is more like release.

……

……

Time flies, and before you know it, it’s the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month. Because tomorrow is the New Year’s Eve, every family starts to invite the Kitchen God for the New Year’s Eve, and the government officials in Beijing also start to take their annual holidays.

Even the Wucheng Bingma Division has adopted a shift system.

And two days ago, Jia Heng also routinely returned from Jingying, Wucheng Bingmasi, and Jinyi Mansion after finishing his official duties. Since yesterday, when he learned that the little princess came back from the palace, he did not go to Jinyang again. Run up the princess mansion.

On this day, very early in the morning, Jia Heng was sitting in the flower hall, and with his fellow writers of several clans—Jia Xiao, Jia Dun, and Jia Chi, they were confirming the various ritual utensils needed for the end-of-year sacrifice to see if there were any. Imperfections.

"Come here first, and make purchases and supplements according to the items recorded in this list." Jia Heng put the copy of the directory in his hand in the drawer under the table.

Jia Xiao put on a smile on his face and said: "If there is nothing else, I will go to work first. If the patriarch has other orders from the account book, he can send someone to inform."

Jia Dun and Jia Chi also nodded in agreement.

Since Jia Heng became the head of the patriarch, the treatment of the family members of the Jia clan has improved in a straight line. Not only Jia Xiao, Jia Dun, and Jia Chi of the literary generation have their own deacons in the overseas procurement of Ningguo Mansion, but also Jia Fan, Jia Chen, and Jia Chi of the jade generation. Jia Qiong, Jia Lin, Jia Yun, Jia Ling, Jia Qin, Jia Fang and others who are two generations younger also have their own way out.

How can you not be grateful for the fact that the clansmen are more sheltered?

Jia Heng nodded and said, "Jiao Da, help me send off some uncles and uncles."

Jiao Da hastily responded, and said again: "Master, Qu Qianhu from Beizhen Fusi is here."

Jia Heng thought for a while and said, "Let him in."

Qu Lang came here probably because of the case of Wu Jinxiao and Wu Jinjing, the truth of which has been found out.

And Wu Jinjing will also go to Beijing to pay tribute to Rongguo Mansion today.

Not long after, Qu Lang led a few guards from the Jinyi Mansion, walked in from the outside, entered the hall, stood still, cupped his hands and said: "I have seen the governor."

Jia Heng nodded at him and said, "Have you found out?"

Qu Lang said in a loud voice: "All Zhuangzi's discounts and sales have been checked out, and the files are filed. Please have a look at them."

As he spoke, he ordered the staff of the Experience Department behind him to hand over the dossier and the overall briefing.

Jia Heng flipped through the dossier, briefly looked at it, left a written briefing in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The next step is to recover the stolen money and stolen goods. By the way, Wu Jinjing from Rongfu will also do it today." Come to the Rong Mansion and arrest and interrogate them together."

Because the Zhuangzi where Wu Jinxiao and Wu Jinjing lived were separated by more than 100 miles, and the journeys of the two families to Beijing were also different, there was a gap of some days.

Qu Lang said: "My lord, are you arresting people in the Rong Mansion?"

Jia Heng nodded and said, "I asked my servant to cooperate with you."

In a while, he will go to the eldest princess's mansion to bring Yuanchun back, and then go to Jia Mu to discuss matters related to ancestor worship during the New Year's Day. By the way, he will let Jia Mu breathe about the Wu Jinxiao brother's embezzlement of the grain fields of Rongning Second Mansion.

Qu Lang responded, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, do you have any other orders?"

Jia Heng pondered: "White Lotus Sect, has there been any new progress in the past few days?"

Qu Lang shook his head, and said solemnly: "This group of people is really too cunning. Previously, the detectives in the mansion found clues, but they were quickly noticed and they stopped immediately."

Jia Heng frowned, thought for a while, and said: "Notify Qianhu in the capital of Jinyi Mansion to cheer up and watch carefully to prevent them from causing further disturbances in Shenjing City."

"Yes, my lord." Qu Lang clasped his fists and said.

Jia Heng thought for a while, and said: "Tomorrow is Xiaonian, if someone is arrested today, you should go home and reunite with your family."

"Thank you for your concern, sir." Qu Lang responded.

Afterwards, Jia Heng asked a few more questions about the summary of Beijing-China affairs collected by Jinyi Mansion's inspectors in the past few days, and then ordered Qu Lang to leave.

After a while, Jia Heng rode on his horse and led his retinue to the Princess Jinyang's mansion.

In the palace of the eldest princess, in the courtyard where Yuan Chun lives, two women, one big and one small, sit facing each other, drinking tea and talking.

The starry eyes under Li Chanyue's curved eyebrows flickered, she looked at the woman opposite, and there was a bit of surprise in her clear and pleasant voice, "I've seen you before."

The beautiful eyes under the willow-leaf eyebrows of Yuanchun, the eyes are full of waves, and she quietly looks at the opposite girl, Tingting, who is about the same age as Brother Heng, for some reason, she thinks of Princess Jinyang in her heart, and said with a smile: "Before, I was There are female officials in the palace, and Xu has met the princess."

Li Chanyue asked curiously, "You are Mr. Jia's older sister?"

Yuan Chun frowned, the smile on his face faded a little, he shook his head lightly and said: "Brother Heng and I are from the same family, not from the same mother."

Li Chanyue nodded and said: "The big family has a large population, but there are some. I heard that Mr. Jia used to be a member of the Jia clan."

Her bright eyes moved slightly, and she asked, "Then, can I call you Sister Yuanchun from now on?"

Yuan Chun said softly: "If the little princess doesn't dislike it, it's okay to call me like this."

After all, she is the daughter of a prince, commensurate with the sisters of the princess, and she is not high-ranking.

While the two were talking, they heard a nanny coming in from outside and said loudly: "Miss Yuanchun, General Yunhui is here."

Li Chanyue smiled lightly and said, "Sister Yuanchun, let's go meet Mr. Jia together."

"Okay." Yuan Chun replied, and then followed Li Chanyue to the inner hall.

In the inner hall, there is warmth and fragrance.

Jia Heng sat on a pear-wood chair, sipping tea leisurely from a teacup.

"For your elder sister Yuanchun, I would trouble you to go there yourself." The eldest princess of Jinyang was wearing a bright red cotton dress, with high temples and shining gold hairpins. A smile is not a smile.

Even if he knew that it was because of Chanyue's return that this talent didn't come, he still felt a bit of resentment and longing in his heart.

She didn't see each other for a day, like three autumns. She thought it was fabricated in the book, but she didn't expect to experience this feeling of restlessness and tossing and turning in the past few days.

I can't wait to get bored with the boy in front of me every day.

Jia Heng put down the teacup, with a dignified expression, and said slowly: "Recently, the capital is not peaceful, and there are villains lurking and committing crimes, so we have to guard against them."

Princess Jinyang said: "That's right, even Prince Zhongshun's residence was assassinated the day before yesterday."

Jia Heng said: "Recently, I have sent more people near the Princess Mansion. There are soldiers and horses in the five cities, and Jinyi Mansion, one on guard and one on the other. You should also pay attention when you go out."

Princess Jinyang's phoenix eyes were slightly cold, and she asked: "You mean, this group of thieves will attack the clan?"

"It's not impossible. These villains are not assassinated by others, but only the clan. This matter is quite suspicious." Jia Heng said with a gloomy expression.

The power of the White Lotus Sect's congregation might just want to kill all the clan and cause chaos in the world, so that they can fish in troubled waters.

"Did you find something?" Princess Jinyang's phoenix eyes were shining brightly, and her charming eyes fell on the young man with a clear face.

Jia Heng said: "I found out some clues. In short, if His Highness has nothing to do recently, he will stay at home. I... will come over when I have time."

In the end, he couldn't help lowering his voice.

The eldest princess of Jinyang nodded her head, and turned her beautiful eyes to give Jia Heng an annoyed look.

While the two were talking, suddenly, a voice sounded like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, "Mother."

It is clear that the little princess Li Chanyue and Yuan Chun have arrived.

Not long after, the two stepped into the hall.

"Brother Heng." Yuan Chundang called first, but when he saw the young man who was as handsome as jade, an imperceptible panic flashed in the depths of his beautiful eyes.

Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Chun, who was slender and gentle, and felt a little strange in his heart, his face was still calm and calm, and he said softly: "Big sister, tomorrow is Xiaonian, I'll come and pick you up. "

Yuan Chun heard the words, nodded with a chuckle, and sat quietly.

Princess Jinyang looked at the dignified and beautiful girl, and said with a light smile: "Miss Yuanchun has been here for a long time, and now that I go home for the New Year, I must give you a new year gift, Lianxue, go and take my A jade bracelet for Miss Yuanchun."

"Yes, Your Highness." Lian Xue replied with a smile, then went to Li Xiang to take out a sandalwood box, which contained a jasper bracelet.

The jasper bracelet is the best jadeite, smooth and round, green and clear. Surprisingly, the inner lotus pattern is born in it, which is completely natural.

Princess Jinyang smiled and said, "This jade bracelet has been worn by me for several years. As the saying goes, people raise jade for three years, and jade nourishes people for a lifetime. I will give this bracelet to you."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity." Yuan Chun bowed gracefully, reaching out to take the sandalwood box containing the jasper bracelet.

Princess Jinyang said softly: "You don't need to put it in a box, just put it back on."

Yuan Chun nodded when he heard the words, rolled up the sleeves of his skirt, and suddenly a white and tender arm like lotus root appeared.

Princess Jinyang took a look at Jia Heng, because Li Chanyue, the little princess, was still around, so it was hard to say anything else.

On the other hand, on a gorgeous and bright face, there was a bit of coldness in his expression, and he smiled lightly: "Zi Yu, I won't keep you anymore."

Jia Heng also got up to say goodbye at the right time, and together with Yuan Chun left the Princess Mansion, boarded the carriage, and drove towards Ningguo Mansion.
