The Red Mansions

Chapter 1126 Baochai: Now it seems like she is begging...

Princess Jinyang's Mansion, in the backyard, in the wing room——

It was mid-afternoon, and the warm sunlight shone lazily on the curtains of vermilion embroidered hibiscus flowers, and the golden hooks shone brightly.

Jia Heng was intimate and tender with Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue for a while, telling each other how much they missed each other. He pulled the two of them to sit on the bed used for resting in the inner compartment, looked at Princess Xianning, and asked: "Xianning, this side of Jinling, Has the New Deal been progressing smoothly recently?"

Because he was thinking about Jinyang and his wife, he came in a hurry and did not have time for Xiaoxiao to collect information from Jinyi Mansion, nor did he inform the government in advance.

But it won't be long before Gao Zhongping, the governor of Liangjiang, knows that he has arrived in Jinling, and he will definitely send someone over to hand over a greeting card.

Princess Xianning wears a blue dress with wide sleeves, and a golden necklace hanging from her bun is swaying. Under the sunlight outside the window, the girl's delicate face is as red as clouds, and as beautiful as flowers.

At this moment, Liu's eyebrows were raised, and he looked down at the young man from a high position. His voice was like the Huo family's Mizong Fist, erratic from side to side: "Jiangsu Province is in full swing. Although the officials and gentry have objections, thanks to this great victory of your husband, it should be about the same. Aren’t you going south this time to supervise the New Deal?”

Jia Heng took Li Chanyue's bare hand, looked at the girl with blushing cheeks, and said warmly: "This time it's not just Jiangsu, but also Anhui. My father is urging me to implement the new policy urgently. This year, there have been many The war, coupled with the fact that natural disasters have spread to Huguang, I am afraid that next year will be another disaster year. If the New Deal can be implemented earlier, the court will have more disaster resilience."

Well, maybe I need to talk to Li Xiaowan.

Li Chanyue's delicate body was hot, her cheeks were flushed, her voice was trembling slightly, and she said softly: "Mr. Xiao Jia, my mother must be waiting impatiently."

Jia Heng pinched Chan Yue's cheek and whispered, "Chan Yue must have been impatient."

When the words came to my lips, I quickly paused and changed my words...be civilized to you, me and others.

Li Chanyue: "..."

Jia Heng came closer and asked curiously: "Are you still thinking about what happened just now?"

Li Chanyue softly said "Hmm", but suddenly, she felt as if she was being electrocuted, and Zangxing Yunyue's eyes gradually filled with mist.

Jia Heng's voice was slightly unclear as he said: "This matter may involve the grudges and grudges of the previous generation. Asking what can be done will only increase worries."

Li Chanyue suddenly said quietly: "Then maybe I am not the princess, and I am not worthy of Mr. Jia."

When the girl said the last word, her soft and delicate voice seemed to be filled with disappointment.

She may be an ordinary woman among the people, not a daughter of a clan at all, but she still occupies the position of Mr. Jia's head wife.

When she was in Ningguo Mansion, I don't know how many people envied her as the legitimate wife of Rongguo Mansion, but because she was the daughter of the clan, they were willing to keep a low profile.

What if she is fake?Maybe no one in the backyard obeys her, right?

The girl's thoughts were racing for a while, and she was thinking wildly.

In fact, it is also the spillover effect of the Jia family's "female competition" environment, which inevitably affects the little princess who often visits as guests.

Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the girl, somewhat surprised by the girl's thinking, and whispered: "Li Chanyue is the wife of my Ming matchmaker, there is nothing unworthy of her."

When Li Chanyue heard this, she felt as if she had been struck by thunder, and her heart was slightly shaken. She looked at the young man intently... He even called her by her full name.

Jia Heng gently rubbed Li Chanyue's dazed face and said, "Stop thinking nonsense. I'm here and so many people are hurting you. What are you thinking about every day?"

As he spoke, he leaned closer and kissed the girl's pink-skinned cheek. She felt that Chanyue had lacked love since she was a child, and sometimes she acted like a child who hadn't grown up.
When Li Chanyue heard this, tears welled up in her eyes, and warmth surged in her heart, and she softly said "Yeah".

Jia Heng turned around and looked at Princess Xianning who had closed her eyes. The girl's jade cheeks were as red as clouds, and her strands of hair were covered with sweat. She asked with a smile: "Xianning, you are practicing Zen and enlightenment."

Princess Xianning: "..."

What do you mean?
Before he finished speaking, he saw the young man standing up suddenly and said: "Xianning, I have something to do tonight, don't waste time."

Princess Xianning snorted and whispered: "This time I am on top of Chanyue."

Li Chanyue's cheeks were slightly red, but she didn't say much, but her head was shaking like a rattle.

Until the evening, the bleak autumn wind blows the bamboo leaves, and the sunset and sunset are cut into mottled colors. The pavilions and pavilions are illusory and colorful in the sunset.

Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the sky outside and whispered, "It's already evening."

Princess Xianning nestled her head in Jia Heng's arms. Her beautiful cheeks were white and rosy. She hugged Jia Heng tightly and whispered: "Sir, do you want to fight a war before the Chinese New Year?"

Jia Heng said thoughtfully: "We can't tell now. After seeing Shui Xun, Jiangnan Navy will return to Hong Kong soon."

Princess Xianning asked with concern: "Sir, it's already winter, and you still want to go to sea to fight?"

"Prepare for war first." Jia Heng said thoughtfully.

Princess Xianning frowned and said, "Sir, I saw in the newspaper that the pirates also have red cannons, which are difficult to deal with."

Jia Heng said: "Yes, the key is to land on the island to fight and drive away the Dutch. This time we will mobilize the entire southern navy to completely solve the problem of pirates. We will set up floating officers on the Taiwan and Peng Islands to take charge of the local area."

Princess Xianning said softly "Hmm".

Li Chanyue pressed her hot face against the boy's chest and listened quietly to the two men's conversation, feeling a sense of peace and satisfaction in her heart.

She stretched out her little hand to caress her slightly swollen belly, thinking that it wouldn't be long before she would feel it too.

At this moment, Chen Xiao's cold voice came from outside the house: "Gong Wei, the eldest princess is looking for you."

"Come here." Jia Heng stood up, finished changing his clothes, and said to the girl with skin as smooth as cream beside him: "Xianning, you and Chan Yue should get up too."

With a "squeak" sound, Jia Heng pushed open the door.

Chen Xiao looked at the young man, pointed to the red mark on his neck, and said coldly: "As soon as I come back... I'm not afraid of people seeing the joke."

Jia Heng said: "What's so funny about a couple who has been confirmed by the edict? Wake up over there."

Jinyang was in confinement and needed to take care of the child. He took a nap in the afternoon. Besides, he had just given birth to a child, so it was not easy for him to go there and bother him.

"I just woke up now, and I asked you to have dinner. After dinner, you have to go to Ningguo Mansion." Chen Xiao said softly.

Jia Heng said: "This is the end."

After Xianning and Chanyue had tidied up, everyone went to the back hall together.

At this moment, the eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the extremely charming Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue, who had no trace of sadness on her eyebrows. She knew what was going on and said with a chuckle: "We are all here, come and have a meal."

Jia Heng sat down, washed his hands, picked up the chopsticks, looked at the beauty, and said, "Where is the child."

"Mommy just fed her milk and went to sleep." Princess Jinyang said with a chuckle.

Jia Heng nodded and asked no more questions.

"Let's eat. There's no need to stay here tonight. We'll go to Ningguo Mansion later. Yuan Chun has been thinking about you a lot lately, and the girls Chai Dai are also thinking about something." Princess Jinyang said, glanced at Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue, and said, "You two have no objection."

Princess Xianning smiled and said, "I have no objection."

Li Chanyue also nodded, approached Princess Jinyang, and whispered: "Mother, please eat more of this."

The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled and said: "Chanyue, I really need Mr. Jia to come over."

Li Chanyue: "..."

……

……

Ningguo Mansion, backyard, west courtyard
The layout of the wing room is simple, with a standing cabinet on the east side, with a few books and account books placed on it.

Although they have left Shenjing, Ningguo Mansion in Jinling still has a lot of maritime trade business recently. Yuanchun knew that Baochai was Jia Heng's side chamber, so he also shared some of the business with Baochai.

Near evening, Baochai was sitting on a bed covered with soft mattresses, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and coughing softly. Since autumn, she might have caught a cold. Early in the morning, she had a headache. Somewhat groggy.

Of course, it has something to do with the fact that yesterday Baochai found the nearest newspaper in advance to read it.

At this moment, Ying'er raised a bowl of soup and whispered: "Girl, the weather is getting colder. Girls should cover themselves with quilts when they sleep at night."

Baochai's cheeks were as pale as a porcelain doll and said: "It was a bit hot at night when I was covered with quilt. I turned over and caught a cold, cough."

As he spoke, he coughed lightly a few more times.

Ying'er said: "The girl is tossing and turning and can't fall asleep. It's a heart disease. Heart disease requires heart medicine."

Under Baochai Liuye's slender eyebrows, her moist apricot eyes glanced at Ying'er angrily and said, "What nonsense are you talking about."

As he said that, he took the handkerchief and coughed again.

At this time, Baoqin put her head close to her, her face as white as snow was full of concern, and said, "Sister, are you okay?"

Baochai shook his head and said, "It's okay. You'll be fine after taking the medicine."

With that said, he took the teacup from Yinger's hand.

Bao Qin pursed her plump lips and said softly: "Sister has been with Brother Heng for so many years. Brother Heng will never forget my sister."

During this time, rumors spread in the house, but my sister didn't get what she wanted, even if she didn't get the marriage, there was actually someone else, so she was inevitably depressed about it.

Baochai's hand holding the spoon paused slightly and whispered: "I know, I didn't want to be in such a hurry."

He was made a first-class duke, one step closer to the king. She was not in a hurry about whether to grant a marriage or not, but the daughter of the Mongolian prince, Mrs. Yu...

At this moment, Baochai felt depressed, as if he had taken Daiyu's script by mistake.

At this moment, the maid Wen Xing outside the door said: "Girl, the eldest grandma, the second grandma, and Miss Lin and Miss Yun are all here." As he spoke, the sound of jingling rings came closer, and bursts of The fragrant wind came, and a group of gold hairpins entered the inner room, opened the bead curtain, entered the side room, smelled the smell of herbs, and their hearts skipped a beat.

Staring at Baochai, she called her sister to her sister with concern in her eyes.

Daiyu asked: "Sister Bao is feeling better now, isn't she?"

At this moment, I feel some empathy, or feel sympathy for each other.

Baochai chuckled lightly and asked, "I have nothing to do. Why are Sister Zhuer and Sister Yun here?"

Daiyu looked at the girl with gleaming eyes, and said softly: "Come and see sister."

Xiangyun came closer, his face full of worry, and said: "Sister Bao is usually in good health, but now she is sick."

Baoqin called all the gold hairpins to sit down.

Baochai put a smile on her plump face and said: "I didn't sleep well at night and caught a cold. It's nothing else. It's really my fault to make all the sisters worry about her."

The girl talks and laughs in an elegant manner, with an imperceptible gentle and charming charm.

Daiyu frowned her smoky eyebrows, which seemed to be relaxed but also curly, with a soft wave in her starry eyes, and whispered: "I read in the newspaper that he is going south this time. When he goes south, my sister, the helper, will ask him .”

Originally, they were talking about the war in the northwest and helping Sister Bao solve the status issue, but she didn't want another incident to happen and let others take the lead.

If Brother Heng treats Sister Bao, who has been with him for several years, like this, then she...

Baochai shook her head, her moist apricot eyes filled with water, and said softly: "There is nothing to ask."

Now it seems as if she is eagerly seeking status and worrying about it to the point of becoming ill.

Tanchun whispered: "Sister Bao, don't think too much. Brother Heng can't help himself outside."

Baochai shook his head and said, "I didn't think too much about it, just wait until your brother Heng comes back."

Sister Feng smiled and said: "Sister Xue has always been knowledgeable and considerate. I think your brother Heng has already made a plan."

What does that enemy think?Do you really dislike Sister Xue's merchant background?
Li Wan also expressed relief: "Girl Bao, don't worry, your brother Heng will not let you down."

Beauty thought to herself, that person should have good reputation.

It's just that all the teasing and scoundrels during the lingering relationship are annoying.

Baochai knew that even if she denied it, no one would believe it, so her moist apricot eyes flickered under her beautiful eyebrows, and she said softly: "Let Sister-in-law Feng and Sister-in-law worry about it."

Although the girl is ill and is much more frail than before, she still looks like a lady.

Zhen Lan thought for a while and said softly: "Sister Xue, I think this girl Yaruo from Chahar Mongolia has something hidden."

Tanchun explained: "This time I heard that Chahar Mongolia sent [-] cavalry troops to march in the northwest. The Khan of Chahar Mongolia is still guarding the northwest. Maybe that's why Brother Heng."

When Baochai heard this, his eyes flashed and he pursed his slightly pale lips.

Well, for some reason, after a few words of enlightenment, the sadness in my heart seemed to dissipate a lot.

He might have real intentions.

Zhen Lan said: "Actually, Brother Heng has just married the princess and the princess not long ago. Even if he asks for a marriage, it is not convenient."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Okay, don't talk about this. What about granting marriage or not? When people come back, you can ask them one by one."

Sister Feng was joking and joking, and everyone laughed.

At this moment, a nun quickly entered the hall and said to everyone who was chatting away: "Miss Bao, Miss Lin, Uncle Heng is back."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Jin Chai who were speaking all showed joy, and they faced each other outside the room.

At this moment, Jia Heng entered the courtyard and looked at the familiar plants and trees in the courtyard, feeling a little emotional.

Chen Xiao said: "Xianning and Chanyue didn't keep you either."

Jia Heng said: "If you go in like this, you might stay."

In fact, even if he goes in, he can't keep him. His current fighting power is really like Ye Wen roaring: I want to fight ten!

"It's broad daylight, you really don't know what absurdity is." Chen Xiao glanced at the young man and said coldly.

Jia Heng entered the hall without arguing with Chen Xiao.

Previously, he had been obsessed with Xianning and Chanyue at the eldest princess's house until the evening, expressing his longing for missing each other after not seeing each other for many days, which naturally involved couplets and overlaps.

Qingwen was sitting in the hall, and suddenly she felt something. She raised her head, looked at the young man, and said in surprise: "Master, you are back."

When a group of Jin Chai and the maids went to visit Baochai just now, Qingwen did not follow. In other words, since Jia Heng went to the northwest to fight, Qingwen not only played better with Xiren, Zijuan and other maids, but also had some Alone.

Jia Heng said: "Qingwen..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the girl rushing into his arms, gently holding Qingwen's shoulders that were shaking from sobbing, and said, "Why are you still crying?"

Speaking of which, since there were more and more golden hairpins in the garden, especially after he got married, he and Qingwen spent a lot less time together. The two of them did not get together less and stay apart more, but they had fewer opportunities to meet.

Feeling the excitement and trembling of the petite body, Jia Heng gently passed through Xiu Yu's hair, smelled the fragrance of a girl of this age group, and said: "Qingwen, I'm back."

The two of them said that and sat down in the hall one after another.

Qingwen looked at Jia Heng with longing eyes and said, "Sir, you are thirsty. I will pour you some tea."

Jia Heng said: "Where are the people at home?"

"Crash~"

Qingwen picked up the teapot and poured tea, and said softly: "Miss Bao is ill. Several girls and grandma in the family have gone to visit Miss Bao in her courtyard."

Jia Heng couldn't help but be surprised and asked: "Why are people sick?"

He remembered that Baochai had always been strong and frail, and he could never be associated with Baochai.

Qingwen's face was complicated and she whispered: "Maybe she has caught a cold. Maybe she heard the news about the young master's marriage in the capital."

At the end of the sentence, the girl's tone was a little angry.

Although she doesn't like Miss Bao too much, there must be someone who comes first. How can she always come from behind?
Well, it can be said that Baochai's experience also made Qingwen feel the same.

Hearing this, Jia Heng took a sip of tea and said, "There is another hidden story in this matter. Come on, come with me and take a look."

In fact, it was somewhat expected.

When she was in Shenjing City before, Aunt Xue had high hopes for this achievement. To this end, champagne was opened at halftime and poker was king.

It is inevitable that something similar will happen in Jinling City. Ordinarily, Baochai should not have such a flamboyant temper.

Qingwen said "Alas", but the boy in the python suit took her hand, and her heart became happy and sweet.

Chen Xiao looked at the young man and curled his lips.

At this moment, in the wing room in the backyard, Feng Wan, Sichun, Yun Qin, Wen Qi and the Cao family were all standing by to greet them.

"Brother Heng." Xiang Yun looked at the young man in python suit who entered the courtyard from the hand corridor and called out happily.

Jia Heng was also a little curious about this innocent girl and called out: "Sister Yun, you have grown taller again."

Then he supported Xiang Yun, who rushed into his arms, and said, "Sister Yun is already a big girl, why is she still as frizzy as a child?"

From the little girl back then, she has grown into a hair-length girl. It can be said that not only Xiangyun, but also Sanchun and Chaidai have grown up a lot in the past few years.

Xiangyun Pingguo's round face was flushed, and she said softly: "Also the eldest girl, she is also Brother Heng's Sister Yun."

Others looked at the young man, with joy on their faces.

Jia Heng glanced at Feng Wan, Yun Qin, Lan Xi, Song Yan, Wen Qi and Cao's faces.

Miao Xiu was nowhere to be seen. Miao Yu was pregnant. Xiu Yan probably went to talk to Miao Yu to relieve her boredom.

As for Daiyu, should she be in the house with Baochai at this moment?

Sometimes Chai Dai's relationship is very good, such as this time, sometimes.

Under Yuanchun's slender eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were gazing with emotion, her eyes were beautiful and moving, and her plump, white face was like a peony flower. She said softly: "Brother Heng, when did you arrive?"

Jia Heng said warmly: "At noon, I went to the eldest princess's house for a meal. How is my eldest sister recently?"

He and Yuanchun can be considered a couple, and the separation this time was indeed not short.

Yuanchun smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, everything is fine at home."

Sister Feng smiled and said: "Brother Heng, during this Northwest War, we fought with victorious battles. When we went there, we were still third-class princes. When we come back, we will be ranked first-class."

The enemy before him was a rare hero in the world.
