Chapter 148 Jia Heng returns home
The two walked along the corridor.
Sister Feng suppressed her slander against the boy, pondered for a while, and said with a light smile: "Brother Heng, how are you going to check the accounts tomorrow?"
It's not easy to ask about Yinzi all at once, so I have to make indirect remarks.
Jia Heng said: "I will transfer people from Jinyiwei. They have masters of house raiding, with vicious eyes. First, control the Lai family, and then borrow a few accountants to check the deficits of the public office over the years. Check them out one by one, after Sister-in-Law Feng returns, ask someone to protect the account book, so as not to cause a fire to burn it."
This time he is going to try to hug grass and beat rabbits, and try to check Wu Xindeng, Shan Daliang and others.
Checking accounts is actually a meticulous job. To find out the way from some account books, you must need the assistance of professionals who are proficient in accounting knowledge.
Sister Feng was startled, and said, "Jin Yiwei?"
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "I am in command of the fourth-rank Jinyi now, and I have already greeted my friends in Jinyiwei Mansion."
The Jinyiwei Mansion probably contained all kinds of detailed information about the Jia family.
For this secret service office, he does not have the defense and vigilance of the civil service group. If possible, it is best to gradually invade and control this sharp knife.
That's why he gave Qu and Zhao 4000 taels of silver to observe their temperament and take pictures in advance.
Because in the future, whether it is fighting against the Eastern Captives or defending against political enemies, it will be inseparable from the support of intelligence and political institutions.
Of course, with the money, he will also select and form his own intelligence and governance organization based on the facts and conditions.
"My cousin has a serious and careful temperament, not as good-natured as Cai Quan. In fact, you can try to do this kind of thing, and you need a female guard to protect the inner house, like that Xia Houying... This is not urgent, you can take it easy It." Jia Heng thought about it.
With the rewards awarded to him by Emperor Chongping and the cabinet ministers, his vision for the future has gradually taken shape, which is to stack as much as possible the buffs of civil servants, generals, and emperor's close ministers, so as to have support from all forces. Only in this way can we make steady progress.
"We must pay special attention to the communication between people." Jia Heng thought of a drama he had watched in his previous life, and he thought so deeply.
Sister Feng pursed her pink lips, smiled lightly and said, "Brother Heng, let's not worry about this, the silver taels found out, do you want the Lai family to return it to the public?"
"That's natural." Jia Heng said ambiguously, and purposely laughed, he knew exactly what Sister Feng was thinking.
Sister Feng thought that she had got the permission, so the smile on her jade face became more and more prosperous, especially when she saw Jia Heng's gentle attitude, she just smiled and said: "Brother Heng, I know that he is a fastidious person. I had some misunderstandings about the matter of resigning from the prince. I will wait until tomorrow." How about hosting a banquet for Brother Heng?"
Jia Heng was silent for a while, and said: "Let's see if I'm free tomorrow, I guess I won't be free until evening."
Tomorrow he listened to the order and took advantage of the opportunity to investigate Lai's family.
Sister Feng said with a smile: "even at night, just right for the Lai family's account."
Jia Heng nodded and agreed.
"Sister-in-law Feng, stay here, let's send it here, the East Mansion is ahead." Jia Heng looked at the lantern on the front door.
The East and West prefectures do not often go through the gate, and there is a road between them.
Sister Feng was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Brother Heng, take it easy on the road, you take this lantern and light the road."
Seeing that Jia Heng was empty-handed, he handed over his own lantern.
"Okay." Jia Heng nodded lightly, and just stretched out his hand to take it, but was stunned for a while, his face was as usual, but just now Ruo Ruo Wu touched the back of Sister Feng's hand.
The smile on Sister Feng's bright and delicate face froze for a moment, and she withdrew it like an electric shock. She glanced at the boy's expression and saw that he was calm and composed, and the strangeness in her heart dissipated.
Sister Feng's temperament has always been straightforward, and she even slapped the boy with her big ears.
And just now she saw that the young man distanced himself from her a few times, with a polite appearance, she was amused, but also felt a little weird.
I won't be very old next year...
Jia Heng waved his hand and said, "Sister-in-law Feng, it's cold at night, let's go back."
As he spoke, he carried the lantern and went up the stone steps.
Watching Jia Heng enter the door, the maid Ping'er behind her was holding a lantern, a smile flashed across her picturesque eyebrows, and she said, "Grandma, this Uncle Heng looks cold and hard, and he looks like a person who cannot be humiliated."
Sister Feng Yurong paused, Danfeng glanced at Ping'er, and said with a sneer, "What? If you are tempted, you little hoof, I will send you to his room tomorrow, and let you see if he is cold or not." hard."
Ping'er was startled by this joke, her cheeks were blushing, and the bright eyes under Cuiyu's slender eyebrows showed a look of embarrassment, and said: "My grandma, I'm just... whatever you say, I want to serve you." Grandma is for the rest of my life, I will go wherever grandma goes, I just hope that when I grow old, I will be blessed if I have more children, and I don’t have to be heartbroken to walk in front of grandma.”
Sister Feng snorted softly, her heart was overjoyed, she couldn't help but show a charming smile on her charming face, she took out her finger and pointed at Ping'er, and said with a smile: "Okay, there's no second master here. , don’t talk about your mother’s heartbreaking words.”
Ping'er smiled lightly, and looked at Sister Feng foolishly.
As her master, she always wanted to be strong. She was raised as a boy since she was a child, so she didn't read any books, otherwise she wouldn't have given it to Lian Erye.
While the master and servant were talking, they rushed to the courtyard, sent someone back to the old lady, and then went to the courtyard where they lived.
There are five houses in a row, the candles are dimly lit, and there are many people.
It was almost the beginning of Xu, and Sister Feng asked Feng'er who was standing in the distance, "Where is Second Master? Second Master hasn't come back yet?"
"Second Master was lying down in the house after eating wine. In the evening, the Elder Master dragged him over to question him. He felt unhappy, so he went out to have some wine." Feng'er said with a low eyebrow.
When Sister Feng entered the room, she saw Jia Lian lying on her side and fell asleep, reeking of alcohol, she couldn't help but frowned, and went to tidy up.
Picking up the outer clothes that Jia Lian had replaced, he was about to say, "Go and wash."
Suddenly, the wings of his nose moved slightly, he picked up his clothes and sniffed them, his willow eyebrows stood upright, and he sneered, "Okay, if you feel unhappy, go drink flower wine, Ping'er, help him up, and fall asleep in the side room, where is the wild woman?" Bring the aroma home!"
At this time, Feng'er and Ping'er came to support Jia Lian.
Jia Lian hummed, "What are you doing, I'm so sleepy, go to the other side..."
A peach blossom face is full of drunkenness.
"Vivi..."
"Who is Weiwei, open your dog eyes and look at your aunt!" Sister Feng Liu Shao raised her eyebrows and looked at her husband. For some reason, she felt that the anger was bigger than before.
Jia Lian opened his sleepy and drunken eyes, and when he saw Sister Feng, he shuddered coldly, with a smile on his face, and said, "You... when did you come back? Feng'er, you are not in the old lady's room...let me have a look."
As he spoke, he touched Sister Feng's face with his hand.
Sister Feng's jade face was covered with frost, and she said angrily: "I let you drink flower wine every day, and if you touch a woman's hand, come touch me!"
Jia Lian's head got dizzy for a while, and she went to the wing room after being quarreled by Sister Feng.
Not to mention the quarrel between Lianfeng and his wife, Jia Heng entered Ningguo Mansion carrying a lantern, and met Lin Zhixiao leading a few servants in the courtyard, coming over with a lantern.
Lin Zhixiao said: "Master Heng, Lai Da has been escorted to the firewood room, let Uncle Jiao and a few servants watch over."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Housekeeper Lin, you've worked hard, let's go back and rest earlier."
"Master Heng, don't dare to say hard work." Lin Zhixiao said as if he was flattered, and in response, he took a few servants and went to the West Mansion.
Jia Heng straightened his clothes and went to the wing room in the backyard.
Qin Keqing had received a report earlier, saying that her husband was going to Xifu for dinner, so she didn't have to wait for him. Although she missed him, it was not good to go straight to Xifu.
Hearing movement outside the courtyard at this time, he said with joy, "Baozhu, Ruizhu, go and see if the uncle is back.
The maids Baozhu and Ruizhu responded with smiles. At this moment, Jia Heng and Qingwen's voices could be heard vaguely from under the eaves of the corridor.
"My lord, why did you come back? Grandma Heng has been waiting for a long time." Qingwen said angrily while reaching out to take the lantern of the young man in brocade.
"The old lady left food in the room." Jia Heng said with a smile, under Qingwen's service, he was about to take off his official hat, put away his sword, and change into his flying fish suit, when his heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, the beaded curtains rattled, and Qin Keqing stepped out from the back room. The beauty was wearing a light red and white pleated skirt, wearing a gold hairpin on her head, her makeup was exquisite, and her brows and eyes showed the charm of a young woman with flowers. , The red lips are gorgeous, like peach pistils in February, gorgeous beyond words.
Jia Heng was taken aback for a moment, and the anger that was stirred up by the young woman's style seemed to rekindle in his heart, and he said with a smile: "But Qing, why are you dressed so grandly?"
Qin Keqing smiled lightly, and the young man in the flying fish suit was reflected in his bright eyes. He was also stunned for a moment, but was greeted by the heroic spirit oncoming, and said with a smile: "To celebrate my husband's victory, I must dress up in fine clothes."
Rui Zhu glanced at Jia Heng shyly, and said with a smile, "Grandma spent an hour dressing up in the room this afternoon."
"You're the only one talking too much." Qin Keqing gave Baozhu a white look.
She knows that her husband likes the way she dresses up, and he won't let her take off between the bed curtains...
At this time, Jia Heng didn't know what the beauty was thinking, so he took off his official hat, went to the flying fish suit, and said: "I just had dinner in the old lady's room, and I talked with her for a while."
"What did the old lady say?" Qin Keqing stepped forward, took Jia Heng's changed clothes, asked with a sweet smile, and handed the pearl to the side: "Take it and let the old lady wash it."
"I have to wear it tomorrow, so don't wash it yet." Jia Heng smiled and waved his hands, then took the teacup from Qingwen, sat at the small table beside him, took a sip, and said, "What else can I say?" ? Said a few words on the occasion, and then introduced several brothers and sisters in the West Mansion."
Qin Keqing also took a seat, thought for a while, and said softly: "Wait a few days, it will be my newborn, I plan to invite a host, and let some sisters-in-law and sisters from Xifu come over for a gathering."
Jia Heng pondered and said: "That's fine, if you are a host, you can also recognize someone, that is... Baoyu from the West Mansion, don't call me."
If it was possible, this brat Baoyu wouldn't even think about looking at his wife, otherwise it would be really shocking to be sexually obsessed.
Qin Keqing gave Jia Heng a white look, and vaguely guessed her husband's little thoughts, her heart was both ashamed and happy, but also a little funny.
What does her husband sometimes say to her? To use one word, he treats her like a blind eye.
On the afternoon of the day when he entered Ningguo Mansion, all the servants in the front yard were sent away, and Jiao Da was bound to learn the rules. Now only some women and maids are allowed to serve the huge Ningguo Mansion.
Qin Keqing said: "Baozhu, Ruizhu, let the mother-in-law below prepare some hot water for the uncle to take a bath."
"Yes, grandma." Baozhu and Ruizhu replied.
"Husband, tell me about the suppression of bandits this time." Qin Keqing walked to Jia Heng and said softly.
Wait a minute, since it refers to the time of tenderness afterwards.
Jia Heng put down the teacup and said in a warm voice: "Actually, there is nothing to talk about. Make up your mind in advance and follow the steps. But if you like to listen, I can talk to you later."
Qin Keqing nodded, pursed her cherry lips and said, "Husband, I... have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Jia Heng asked in surprise.
"Sister-in-law Feng came over yesterday and begged me for one thing while talking, saying that sister-in-law You... She has been angry with Mrs. You for two days since she came home. , I just want to see if there is a courtyard on the east side of Tianxiang Tower, and see if I can give it to You Shi and let her live...
Sister Feng was worried that she would talk to Jia Heng directly about this matter, but Jia Heng would not allow it, so when she came to talk to Qin Keqing in the past two days, she took advantage of the opportunity to mention yesterday that the two are indeed good sisters in the original book of the Red Chamber, and they really hit it off.
Jia Heng frowned, and said hesitantly: "Let me think about this matter, mainly because she is here, I am worried that there will be some gossip."
Thinking of Youshi, he couldn't help but think of the note that reported the letter, and that note also helped him a little.
Now Youshi is being sent home...
This mature woman known as the "saw-mouthed gourd" is not as hideous as Mrs. Xing next to Jia She, but makes people feel a little sympathetic.
Seeing that Jia Heng didn't agree for a while, Qin Keqing smiled lightly, and said softly: "I also heard from Sister-in-law Feng that her old mother became a widow early and dragged the three girls to live a difficult life, so it turns out that she can still get You The family and the banker are helping each other, and their livelihood is still barely passable, but now...Of course, if the husband thinks it is wrong, then forget it."
Hearing this, Jia Heng smiled and pulled Qin Keqing's soft and tender hand, and said, "You are just too kind. My life has only been better for a few days, so I feel pity for the poor and the weak."
Qin Keqing heard the words, a shy smile overflowed from Furong's jade face, she leaned her head against Jia Heng's arms, and said softly, "Don't you like it, my husband?"
"Why don't you like it?" Looking at the beautiful wife with a face like a begonia stamen, and a delicate and graceful body, Jia Heng also had some thoughts in his heart.
At his age, in fact, he is full of vigor and taste, and he can't wait to make that matter into a dark place... He doesn't know what the sky and the earth are.
But because he knew very well the principle of Shao Zhi's rebooting, he restrained a little bit, and he had to avoid it in case Ke Qing got pregnant too early, so he almost lived a life of semi-abstinence.
But his wife, maybe she didn't even realize that every frown and smile is so charming, she has gradually become a bit of an enchanting beauty.
Jia Heng took a deep breath to drive away the distracting thoughts that had arisen.
The couple chatted and laughed in a low voice, and Baozhu and Ruizhu in the distance said with a smile: "Grandma, the water is ready."
Jia Heng got up and said with a smile: "King, I'm going to take a bath."
With that, he got up and left.
In the wing room, the lights were bright, and the tub was steaming, and two maids, Baozhu and Ruizhu, even put rose petals and spices in it.
Apart from her clothes, Jia Heng sank into the bathtub, closed her eyes slightly, and planned to collect her thoughts.
I heard a timid and gentle voice from behind the screen, "Master."
When Jia Heng heard this, he couldn't help being taken aback.
