The Red Mansions

Jinling, Ningguofu
In the backyard, the golden-red sunset on the western sky passed through the carved windows and fell on the two of them, like a layer of golden-red light, like a fairy among gods.

Hearing the familiar and charming voice outside the house, Jia Heng couldn't help but be startled, and whispered: "It's Sister Lin."

He didn't think Daiyu knew he was here with Baochai, she probably just came to see Baochai.

When Baochai heard Daiyu's voice, she panicked. Under Cuiyu's beautiful eyebrows, she opened a blurry and twinkling bright eye. She felt that her heart was palpitating indescribably and nervous. She said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, Let me...let me come down."

If she wants to see this, how should she meet people?

"Sister Xue...huh?" Jia Heng's expression turned strange, and he felt even more curious. He whispered: "Sister Xue, let it go now."

Baochai:"……"

Why don't you let it go?How can she meet someone like this?

In the glow of the rays, the snow-white skin seemed to be trickling past, bathed in light.

Then, I heard the conversation between Yinger and Daiyu:

Ying'er's voice was undoubtedly a little anxious, as if she was blocking Daiyu who was walking straight in, and she said anxiously: "Miss Lin, Uncle Heng just came over to see the girl and is talking."

Daiyu chuckled lightly, and Yanyan raised her eyebrows, her starry eyes twinkling, and said, "I asked you what you were doing standing outside. It turns out that Brother Heng is back."

She had just heard from Zijuan that Brother Heng was back. She thought she had gone to Miaoyu Courtyard and did not want to be in Sister Bao's room.

The girl didn't react for a moment, or in other words, the sky was only in the evening, night had not yet fallen, and the western sky was full of sunset. As she spoke, she walked towards the inner room.

Just as Ying'er was about to stop him, the girl had already opened the curtain and entered the side room.

At this moment, Daiyu walked around a hibiscus flower glass screen, with a smile on her pretty face, and whispered: "Sister Bao is in the house...huh?"

They clearly saw the two people in a panic, and the body that lay down looked like a big white goose, with two dazzling white bodies that caught everyone's attention.

Immediately, the smile on the pretty face gradually disappeared, and the starry eyes were shocked for a moment, the ground turned red with embarrassment, and the heart was filled with embarrassment.

What is this all about?
I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart, it's still daytime, and Brother Heng is just... so ridiculous?

He quickly turned around with a red face, frowned his eyebrows, his starry eyes were filled with shame and anger, and said angrily: "Brother Heng knows how to bully Sister Bao right now."

After all, it was a matter of personnel matters. If it were in the past, he would have been so shy that he could not speak at all.

Jia Heng took over the conversation and whispered: "Well, next time I should bully Sister Lin first."

Daiyu: "..."

What nonsense are you talking about?Is this person really...shameless?
The girl's charming face was almost overwhelmed with embarrassment and said: "Ignore you."

After all, he was a little thin-skinned. He turned around and started to leave.

At this moment, Jia Heng had already tidied up his clothes, stood up, reached out and took Daiyu's delicate hand, and said softly: "Sister Lin, it's time to go back to Beijing in the next two days."

At this moment, Baochai was arranging her clothes in a panic. Her plump face, as white as a pear, was also flushed with embarrassment. Cuiyu's thin eyebrows were knitted together, and her moist apricot eyes were filled with lifelessness. Cute shame.

Just now, Zi'er saw her, and her "ugly behavior" fell into Zi'er's eyes. How should she face her in the future?
Daiyu's beautiful jade cheeks were as hot as fire, and her starry eyes under her smoky eyebrows were already filled with annoyance. She said softly: "Brother Heng... he is really getting more and more ridiculous."

Just now I almost treated Sister Bao as a child, how could she be like that?
At this moment, Daiyu didn't know what to say.

Now being held hand in hand, Daiyu's cheeks turned red and her heart was filled with embarrassment. She suddenly broke away from Jia Heng's hand and said in a trembling voice, "You can talk to Sister Bao. I...I'm going back first."

I can't stay here anymore.

And she always felt that he might bully her later, and she would be bullied together with Sister Bao.

The girl said, with a pretty face red, and left the wing.

Jia Heng didn't try to stay anymore. He secretly thought that compared to Baochai, Scarlet Pearl Immortal Cao's temperament was always more shy. In fact, it was much better. The bottom line was discovered step by step.

We can only wait for the day when the two of them get together before making plans.

Thinking like this, I couldn't help but hold Baochai in my arms, and a slightly sweet fragrance gradually floated under my nose. Baochai is worthy of the title of Yang Guifei, soft and white, like a ball of cotton, making people feel Immersed in it, unable to extricate myself.

Baochai's fair and jade face was almost flushed with red, and her slender hands with bright white joints couldn't help but clenched a pink fist and beat Jia Heng's heart. Her delicate eyebrows couldn't help but have a look of shame, and she said angrily: "Brother Heng was really just now It’s nonsense, she’s still here.”

The frown was still there just now, but he was still...unwilling.

Jia Heng leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered: "That's not what Sister Xue said just now, but she always called her like a good brother."

Baochai:"……"

Jia Heng gently pinched the girl's plump and white face, and said softly: "Okay, wait until next time, Sister Xue will look at Sister Lin again."

Baochai:"???"

So, after all the fuss, this was his real intention, right?
Sure enough, this man is a lustful person and only wants to have sex with others. Or maybe the Xianning princess and the little princess have whetted his appetite?

The girl was thinking wildly in her heart, and there was another layer of shame in her heart.

Jia Heng gently pinched Baochai's plump and tender face and said softly: "Okay, Sister Xue, it's getting dark now, let's have some food."

As he talked, he and Baochai were arguing for half an hour.

Baochai responded softly, and then she snuggled her cloud-haired head into the boy's arms, almost limp, with shame and sweetness intertwined in her heart.

That's all, she and Sister Lin will still have to serve him in the future.

But at this moment, when dusk falls, the lanterns are turned on, and the night falls, the surrounding courtyard is almost completely silent. Only the cold wind of early spring blows the lanterns under the eaves, making bursts of rustling sounds, lining the night. More and more quiet.

At this moment, the maid Ying'er, who was standing behind the screen, had a slight blush on her cheeks, and said with a little panic in her voice: "Girl, sir, it's time for dinner."

Baochai's plump cheeks were as red as rouge at this moment, and she said softly: "Brother Heng, let's have dinner first."

Jia Heng responded softly, and then ate with Baochai.

Baochai had a charming face and said softly: "Brother Heng, after dinner, why don't you go and accompany Sister Lin."

She was really scared, and he might try different ways to torment her later.

Jia Heng picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and said softly: "In the past, I spent a lot of time with her. Now I will spend more time with you. You should also eat more meat. You have lost weight during this time."

He had just gradually allowed Daiyu to adapt to her, and one day he would have both the beauty of Chai and Dai.

As long as you succeed once, everything else will fall into place.

Baochai's willow eyebrows were curved, and she couldn't help but feel inexplicably happy. She gave a slight "hmm" and said softly: "Brother Heng, after we go back, what should we do about the maritime trade in the south?"

Jia Heng said: "Just leave the sea trade matters to Uncle Xue Shi and Xue Biao. During this period, we will send more nuns in charge, and then you can also worry more about it in Beijing."

The Xue family is indeed part of the Jia family's business territory.

The two of them finished dinner and drank tea after the meal. They didn't say much else. They went to bed to rest and didn't mention it again.

……

……

The night was blurry and everything was silent. In another courtyard, there was also a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and the moonlight was as thin as gauze and mist.

In the wing, the orange light filled the entire wing like water, projecting the girl's beautiful figure on the curtain.

Tanchun was sitting on the bed, his cheeks as pink as snow were as bright as fire, his eyes were dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Girl, wash your feet." The waiter approached and brought a basin of steaming water over. As he spoke, he knelt down and took off Tanchun's shoes and socks.

Tanchun said "hmm", then raised his eyes to look at Shi Shu, and asked in a low voice: "Shi Shu, what time is it now?"

The waiter said: "Girl, it's already Haishi now."

Tanchun raised his eyes to look at the window, pursed his slightly pink lips, and said softly: "Is it so late?"

The girl placed a pair of delicate white feet into the copper basin, her face, which was both plump and heroic, still showed a look of shame and annoyance.

How could Brother Heng act so recklessly? The third Miss of the Zhen family was such a coquettish woman. She seduced Brother Heng like that, and she led him astray.

And that demonstrative look in his eyes clearly made her angry.

And the giant thing that caught a glimpse... finally turned into the young man's words, the third sister has grown up, and she knows how to be shy.

She is not young anymore. How will she get married in the future?

The girl was ashamed and angry for a moment, her jade cheeks that were already as rosy as the clouds couldn't help but become a little hotter, and she was almost upset.

After thinking for a moment, she then remembered Jia Heng's original promise. The girl tightened her handkerchief and sighed quietly in her heart.

She had grown up with him, how could she still fall in love with someone else?

In other words, the girl didn't know that Yuanchun had already taken a step earlier, but she didn't dare to take this step because of secular pressure.

After the girl washed her feet absentmindedly, she lay on the bed and covered herself with a pair of brocade quilts. She looked even more dazed and absent-minded on her pretty face, tossing and turning, as if she couldn't fall asleep.

…………

The next day, the morning light dewed slightly, the morning glow was brilliant, and the spring breeze of February in early spring blew the budding willow trees. The new buds were tender and green, full of verdure, and full of vitality.

In the side room, Jia Heng turned to look at the girl with plump jade face and sweet sleeping face, feeling slightly absent-minded.

He opened the quilt and got up.

Then, under Baochai's service, he got up, put on a new python suit, came to the hall, called Sister Feng to come over, and discussed the matter of returning to Beijing in the next two days.

Sister Feng was dressed in a vermilion dress, with her lush hair combed into an exquisite bun. Her appearance was much more charming than before. Next to her, Ping'er was dressed in an aqua dress, with pearls all over her head shining, but her hair was not pulled back. She pulled up her hair into a woman's bun, but still left her sparse air bangs.

Obviously he also knows Jia Heng’s hobbies.

At this moment, the "Bodhisattva" in the world of maids, with her delicate and picturesque eyebrows, looked at the young man lovingly.

After all, he and Jia Heng had already been married before.

Sister Feng's face was as charming as spring flowers and autumn moon, and Danfeng's eyes seemed to burst with surprise as she said, "Brother Heng, are we leaving?"

Jia Heng nodded and said: "Sister-in-law Feng, we will leave for the capital the day after tomorrow and let the girls and maids of the houses tidy up."

He also wanted to visit Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue, as well as the two sons and a daughter today. If he left without saying hello, Mopan would probably be itchy with hatred and secretly curse him countless times.

Ever since Mopan gave birth to these twins, she has become more and more expensive based on her son. He will have to temper her temper in the future, otherwise she will become more and more pampered and arrogant, which will easily get him into trouble.

However, Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue should also return to the capital recently, but that will be after King Beijing and King Chu return to Jinling.

After lingering in Jiangnan for a long time, it was finally time to return to Beijing.

Seeing the dazed expression on the young man's face, Sister Feng chuckled and said, "That's fine. I was just about to say that I wanted to go back. The old lady has been urging my nanny several times since the New Year."

Jia Heng nodded and said softly: "Sister-in-law Feng has arranged the return trip. I will go see Sister Lan later."

As he said that, he looked at Ping'er, and when he met a pair of gazes filled with affection, his heart was touched.

At this moment, a group of golden hairpins wearing skirts and coats also got up from the bed and came to the hall in small groups. For a while, the birds and birds gathered together, laughing and chatting, and it became lively.

But among so many girls, Tanchun was nowhere to be seen.

However, everyone just thought that Tanchun was still asleep at the moment, but they didn't believe it.

Jia Heng glanced at the gold hairpins and found that Xiang Yun was missing the "Jiao Bu Li Meng" Tan Chun, but felt a little unnatural in his heart.

I'm afraid that the little girl's mind is in a lot of confusion. After all, after seeing things like that, she can't sleep at night.

Zhen Lan's side is also full of nonsense.

At this moment, Xiangyun had learned the news about the return trip from Sister Feng. His bright eyes could not hide the joy, and he said in a soft voice: "Brother Heng, are we going back?"

Jia Heng smiled and said softly: "Yes, Sister Yun, when I go back, the flowers in the Grand View Garden are in bloom, and Sister Yun can enjoy the flowers with a few girls."

In fact, many things in the original work should have happened this year, such as being drunk in a peony bush in Xiangyun.

I wonder what the cute little chubby girl will look like on that day?He does have some expectations, as he prefers the reappearance of classics.

Jia Heng exchanged greetings with a few Jin Chai and didn't stay any longer. Instead, he went to the backyard to look for Zhen Lan.

The past two days have been relatively busy. I originally wanted to spend time with Zhen Lan last night, but I spent more time with Baochai.

Therefore, to solve this kind of permutation and combination problem, if we don't tie them up and insert them, we really can't solve the problem of having to accompany them. It's not that he is greedy for double rows to play black, and embrace the warm and fragrant nephrite on his left and right.

For example, Xianning and Chanyue are very good, Xiaoxiao is a free team, and maybe Song Yan can be added in the future.

Then Chai Dai, and even Bao Chai and Bao Qin are inevitable, otherwise, he would not be able to take care of them at all.

He could only ensure as much as possible that unfamiliar people would not be randomly matched together.

While Jia Heng was talking, he left the wing and went to look for Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi.

Zhen Lan had just had breakfast with her sister and was talking, but there was a little bit of sadness on the girl's pretty and cheerful face.

Yesterday I told her to spend more time with her, but I didn't see anyone for the next day. It was really...

However, there were too many women around him after all. Even if he took one turn every day, it would take more than ten days for her to be here.

While the two sisters were talking, suddenly the voice of a maid greeting her came from outside, and then Zhen Xi said with surprise on her face: "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "Sister Xi'er, we will go to Zhen's house to find your sister later. We will return to the capital in a few days."

Zhen Lan couldn't hide the joy in her voice and said, "Brother Heng, shall we go to eldest sister's house today?"

Although every time she went to her eldest sister's house, she would be obsessed with them, but if she followed, Brother Heng would be able to accompany her all the way.

Jia Heng came forward, took the girl's delicate hand, and said, "Let's go and take a look together."

Zhen Lan raised her eyebrows, her face was full of joy, and she said warmly: "Brother Heng, please wait a moment while my sister and I clean up."

"Well, let's go." Jia Heng chuckled and looked at a girl with haircuts who had a charming face and a peaceful air, and couldn't help but lose sight of her eyes.

So-called, you just scold me, I also like the delivery boy from Shiba.

Compared to Tian Niu'er's maturity and charm, Lan Xi's youthful and lively personality is indeed inferior to Tian Niu'er's.

……

……

Jinling, Zhenzhai, backyard wing
There is a quilt curtain hanging outside, while the room is warm and fragrant, and the inner room is beautifully decorated and decorated with jewels.

Zhen Qing was wearing a sky blue dress and was sitting beside the cradle, coaxing a pair of infant twins. A happy smile appeared on her beautiful and charming face, and she said softly: "Jie'er, Yin Yin, look at mother."

These twins were truly a treasure given to her by God.

Not far away, Zhen Xue and Shui Xin were talking quietly, not knowing what the two of them were talking about.

As for the son, it has long been monopolized by Princess Beijing. In the ancestral residence of Prince Beijing in Jinling, the old lady loves her grandson very much. In addition, she has the experience of giving birth in the past. From the nanny and the nanny, she takes care of her. of meticulous attention to detail.

Zhen Xue sometimes missed her son, so she took her daughter Shui Xin with her to see Shui Ying.

At this moment, a nun entered the hall and said with a smile: "Princess, Duke Wei and the third and fourth young ladies are here."

When Zhen Qing heard this, her beautiful face couldn't help but show joy, and asked: "Is someone here?"

Previously, he went to Anhui to deal with the military camp, and it seemed that the matter had been completed.

After a while, Jia Heng, Zhen Lan, and Zhen Xi came arm in arm.

"Eldest sister, second sister." Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi approached and bowed politely.

Zhen Qing stretched out her hand to support her and said, "Get up quickly."

On the other side, Jia Heng also hugged Shui Xin, and the two talked.

Then, a few people chatted and the two sat down.

Jia Heng stared at the gorgeous Zhen Qing and said warmly: "In two days, I will take the two sisters Lan Xi back to Beijing and ask them to say goodbye to the two princesses this time."

When Zhen Qing heard this, her appearance suddenly changed. She was startled and said softly: "You are going back to Beijing."

"We have been in Jinling for a long time, and it's time to go back." Jia Heng took Shui Xin's hand and sat aside, saying softly.

Zhen Qing's face was much more beautiful than before. At this moment, there was a trace of reluctance in her narrow and clear phoenix eyes. She pursed her glossy pink lips and said, "It's better to go back early. I guess the court will There are many things waiting for you to take care of."

Here she can only wait for that man to come back from the south, and cannot go back to Beijing with him.

Thinking of this, she whispered: "Mother Sun, bring the two children to Duke Wei for a look."

After all, they are Jia Heng's recognized "godsons", so they won't make anyone suspicious.

Jia Heng said: "I also came over to see these two little guys."

They are all his own flesh and blood.

Zhen Xue also looked at the young man at this moment, with a look of farewell in her eyes, and said softly: "When will Ziyu set off?"

Jia Heng said: "Let's set off the day after tomorrow, the house has already started to clean up."

Zhen Xue nodded and said, "Have a nice trip, Ziyu."

Jia Heng said "hmm", and now he was holding the infant baby in his arms and looking at his own child with a small nose and small eyes, feeling a little happy in his heart.
