The Red Mansions

Chapter 1211 Jia Heng: We are all one family, Princess Wei, there is no need to be polite.

Jinling, Princess Jinyang’s Mansion——

The next day, the sky was bright and the spring rain continued. In addition to the smell of earth and rain, the air in the courtyard was also filled with the fragrance of vegetation.

The willow tree in the square courtyard has become more lush and green after the rain, and crystal water droplets are rolling on the green branches and leaves of the willow tree. The breeze blows, and the raindrops fall, falling quietly. Among the grass.

Jia Heng put his arms around Princess Jinyang's shoulders and slowly got up from the bed.

The eldest princess of Jinyang's curved eyelashes trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes that were overflowing with charm and as moist as water stared intently, and whispered: "Ziyu, what time is it now?"

"Jinyang, it's already time." Jia Heng glanced at the sky outside, stared at the carefree and lazy beauty beside him, and whispered.

With that said, he lifted up the brocade quilt embroidered with hibiscus, stood up, and said warmly: "Jinyang, I'm going to see a friend today."

Yesterday Xiaoxiao told him that Gu Ruoqing wanted to find him for something.

The eldest princess of Jinyang also got up, with a slightly lazy expression on her beautiful brows, and said softly: "Then you can go later."

Jia Heng stood up, looked at the beauty sitting in front of the dressing table with the diamond-shaped bronze mirror, putting on makeup in front of the mirror, and said softly: "Actually, this is quite good."

"After giving birth to a child, I have gained a lot of weight, so I still have to find a way to lose weight." The beauty said softly, her eyes shining like water.

Jia Heng said with relief: "It's not that fat. Besides, if it's plump, it will be more comfortable to touch after all."

In fact, it's just that there is some flesh on the belly. It turns out that the face is graceful and gorgeous, just like the beautiful peony.

The eldest princess of Jinyang sighed quietly and said softly: "After all, she can't compare with those young and beautiful ones."

Jia Heng came closer, rubbed the beauty's shoulders, and said with a chuckle: "Look, you're here again. I think you're even more beautiful."

"Let's coax other little girls with sweet words." The eldest princess of Jinyang turned her head, rolled her eyes at the young man, and said softly: "Let me dress up, you go to the hall and wait first, Chanyue is here now It’s probably time to get up.”

Jia Heng finished washing and went to the hall. At this moment, Li Chanyue was sitting in front of a long writing desk, with a bit of joy and excitement on his face.

"Mr. Jia, you're up, where is my mother?" Seeing Jia Heng, Li Chanyue's bright eyes with stars and moon under her willow-leaf eyebrows showed excitement.

The girl is even less than eighteen years old, which is the age when she is as beautiful as a flower.

Jia Heng said: "I'm still dressing up right now."

After saying that, he sat down next to Li Chanyue, took the little princess's delicate hand, and said softly: "Chanyue, let's go back together tomorrow, or do you stay here?"

Li Chanyue's eyebrows were very lively and she said softly: "I will go back with you, sir."

If the married daughter throws away the water, she will definitely follow Mr. Jia.

Jia Heng said warmly: "That's fine, let's take Chanyue with me when I ride a horse, and we can go there together. Can Chanyue know how to ride a horse?"

Li Chanyue said softly, "Yes" and whispered: "I can ride."

At this moment, Yuan Chun also walked over. A beauty who was twenty years old, with a plump and white face, and a smile on her face, she called softly: "Brother Heng, where is Your Highness?"

Jia Heng said: "I'm still dressing up right now, eldest sister."

Yesterday, I originally wanted to ask Yuanchun to go there with me, but after thinking about it, I decided to stay with Jinyang alone, so as to save her from having random thoughts in the past few days.

Yuan Chun sat down nearby and said softly: "Brother Heng, I will take care of His Highness here. I will wait for this month before returning to Beijing."

Jia Heng nodded and said softly: "Well, that's fine."

After a while, Chen Xiao also entered the hall. The girl was tall and tall, wearing a well-tailored flying fish suit. She had a cool and bright face, and said in a clear voice: "Jinyi Mansion said that the imperial edict urging you to come to Beijing has been delivered here. ”

The eldest princess of Jinyang came from not far away. She was a plump beauty. She was dressed in a vermilion dress and had a gorgeous bun. She slowly sat down, with a plump and mature aura flowing out of her body. She said softly: "Okay, everything is done." You’re hungry, let’s eat.”

At this moment, Lianxue had already ordered the maids to serve the dishes, and everyone started to have breakfast.

……

……

Taibai Restaurant, inside the private room on the second floor

The beauty in a green skirt leaned against the window, staring at the misty rain in Jinling outside the window. At this moment, oil paper umbrellas were passing by on the street, and the trickling rainwater continued to flow down along the apricot yellow umbrella surface. It hits the road paved with blue bricks, and the eaves on both sides are like raindrops, swaying this way and that with the spring breeze.

The clothes are wet with apricot blossom rain, and the face is not cold with willow wind.

Pedestrians on the street looked in a hurry, walking across the water.

At this time, with the sound of footsteps on the stairs, the young man with an upright figure and a calm face stepped into the box, looked at the young beauty who was leaning on the railing and looked out, and said softly: "Miss Gu, you've been waiting for a long time. "

Gu Ruoqing turned her head and came, and in a flash of surprise, she saw a bit of the beauty and brightness of "The Emperor's City is full of smoke and willows". Under the curved willow-leaf slender eyebrows, those cold eyes looked at the young man and whispered. Said: "The Duke of Wei is here."

Jia Heng sat down, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup on the tea cup, and as the tea foam slowly rose, he raised his eyes to look at the girl and said, "I heard that Miss Gu has some information to tell me."

Under Gu Ruoqing's beautiful eyebrows, her eyes moved slightly, she couldn't help but take a look at the young man, and said softly: "Is this what Duke Wei came here to ask?"

Ever since the last time the person in front of him said something about beauty and thin face, Gu Ruoqing was still a little worried in her heart.

Jia Heng said softly: "Otherwise?"

Gu Ruoqing was silent for a moment, feeling angry for some reason.

Jia Heng said: "But I still have to thank Miss Gu for being able to show justice."

"I also do it for Junior Sister's sake." Gu Ruoqing arched her slender eyebrows, her crystal clear eyes flickered, and asked, "Why don't you see Junior Sister?"

"Xiaoxiao has something to do today and can't come." Jia Heng said, handing over a cup of hot tea.

Gu Ruoqing simply said thank you.

Jia Heng chuckled lightly and said, "Miss Gu actually knows how to say thank you."

Gu Ruoqing looked at the young man with bright eyes, stared at him for a long time, and whispered: "Duke Wei seems to have a deep prejudice against me."

I don’t know where he got his prejudices from.

This is what Jia Heng asked Gu Ruoqing last time when he came to see him. Now it is a new round of confrontation.

Jia Heng sat down, took a sip of tea, raised his eyes to look at the girl, and whispered: "It seems a bit."

Gu Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, her eyes flickered coldly, and said softly: "I ask myself that I have never offended Duke Wei."

"I also ask myself if I have ever offended Miss Gu." Jia Heng smiled, took a sip of hot tea, and whispered.

Gu Ruoqing was silent for a moment and whispered: "The Yangzhou salt merchant entertained Duke Wei that day, does Duke Wei still remember it?"

It can be said that Jia Heng is the imperial eagle dog from the perspective of a knight-errant. He has a villainous aura when he appears, giving him a sense of déjà vu like Tian Guinong or Zhang Zhaozhong.

There is just no Nan Lan and Luo Bing.

Jia Heng pondered and said: "There is such a thing, but Miss Gu was dealing with Liu Shengzao and others, the transshipment envoy of Huaidu, and the Yangzhou salt merchants and others had bad intentions, so I could not help but intimidate them."

Speaking of which, time flies, it has been a year or two.

Gu Ruoqing said: "At that time, Duke Wei was decisive in killing, but he spoke arrogantly, treated the people like nothing, and threatened to kill them at every turn."

Jia Heng said: "It's just forced by current events. In the past few years, everyone has a public opinion on how Jia has behaved. Does Miss Gu still think that Jia treats ordinary people as trivial things?"

Gu Ruoqing was speechless for a moment, and under his curving willow-leaf slender eyebrows, his beautiful eyes showed a bit of confusion.

After such a long time, I naturally know how much the people in front of me care for the people. From Henan to the New Deal, they all robbed the rich and gave to the poor.

In fact, Gu Ruoqing has traveled all over the country over the years and has seen the struggles of many poor people. He has also seen countless corrupt officials who have no regard for the lives of the people. As for Jia Heng in front of him, he naturally has something to worry about.

Jia Heng looked silent and said: "When the clothes were hung in the high pavilion and the cauldron was adjusted, the poor people in the world complained. The water that overturned the boat was the tears of the people. If you don't go to Hengliu, you don't know it. In the past few years, Jia has been in the country of the Han Dynasty, and the people of the country have a clear conscience."

Gu Ruoqing looked stunned after hearing what the young man said and reading the poems.

The person who can write the script of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is obviously also well-spoken.

Gu Ruoqing asked: "Duke Wei, why are you so prejudiced against me?"

Jia Heng said softly: "Miss Gu is too arrogant to wander around the world."

When Gu Ruoqing heard this, he was slightly shocked and said, "I don't know where I am arrogant."

Jia Heng took a sip of tea, glanced at the beauty, and said softly: "Miss Gu is not modest in what she said." Gu Ruoqing stared at the young man and said in a clear voice: "Isn't that right? Men, do you think that all women in the world must bow down and be flattered in every possible way?"

Hearing this, Jia Heng looked at Gu Ruoqing and said, "Does that mean that a woman who thinks she is as beautiful as a fairy can have her eyes higher than her head and command everything?"

Well, the little fairy is like this. She has a beauty filter and thinks she is [-]%.

When Gu Ruoqing heard this, her heart was slightly shaken, and she whispered: "I don't know why I am as beautiful as a fairy, and when my eyes are higher than the top of my head?"

Jia Heng said in a low voice: "I just asked you to be a little more polite. Is this submissive? Miss Gu, it seems she is a courtesan, right?"

When Gu Ruoqing heard this, he frowned, his face paused slightly, and he whispered: "Gong Wei, what do you mean?"

What's wrong with the oiran? She has been as pure as jade these years.

Jia Heng said: "Miss Gu has been wandering around the world for a long time, so she should know some things about the world."

When Gu Ruoqing heard the words, he thought about Jia Heng's words, his heart was filled with ripples, and he was silent for a moment.

This is her temperament, and she won't change it for anyone.

Jia Heng put down the tea cup and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Miss Gu, let's talk about Chen Yuan's recent developments first?"

Educating them is a matter of society. He now wants to ask about Chen Yuan's situation and what conspiracy he has recently.

Gu Ruoqing also suppressed the thoughts in his heart for the time being, and a look appeared on his beautiful face, and he said softly: "Chen Yuan recently went to Shandong, and he doesn't know what he wants to do. Since the last assassination failed, he is no longer in the capital. , I also suspect that someone is leaking the secret, but I haven’t suspected it yet.”

Jia Heng said: "Xiaoxiao told me about this, what about the others?"

"No more." Gu Ruoqing pursed her pink lips and said softly.

Jia Heng nodded, his face thoughtful.

Looking at the young man frowning in thought, Gu Ruoqing's eyes were as bright as water, and he whispered: "There may be trouble in Shandong recently, please pay attention to it yourself."

Jia Heng nodded, his eyes a little warmer, and said, "Thank you, Miss Gu, for reminding me."

For a woman from the White Lotus Sect to be able to reveal this to him, it was obviously not just because of Chen Xiao.

There is nothing more than attraction and attraction between men and women, but Gu Ruoqing's temperament is too arrogant, and it really needs to be tempered.

Gu Ruoqing raised her head, turned to look at the young man with clear eyes, and asked: "Why did Duke Wei go and come back before?"

Jia Heng said in a low voice: "Something happened. I'm here temporarily for a few days, and I have to leave in two days."

Gu Ruoqing suddenly said softly: "I will return to the capital in the next few days."

Jia Heng smiled and said: "If Miss Gu arrives in the capital, if anything happens, you can send someone to deliver a letter. The trouble of attracting bees and butterflies like Liu Shengzao did before will probably not happen."

Gu Ruoqing frowned, her beautiful eyes were condensed, and she looked at the young man. He didn't know how to praise others properly. He was as beautiful as a fairy but his eyes were higher than his head. Now he was attracting bees and butterflies.

"Thank you." Gu Ruoqing was not a talkative person and just said softly.

Jia Heng didn't say much anymore. He was now worried that Gu Ruoqing would suddenly say, "You're a weirdo."

After quietly sipping a cup of tea, he said goodbye to Gu Ruoqing. He didn't stay any longer and went down the stairs with an indifferent expression. Not long after walking, he was about to return to the mansion when he suddenly heard the noise and arguments in the hall of the restaurant.

I saw a girl with a slim figure, black hair like clouds, wearing a lotus-colored dress, and a bamboo hat with a white veil hanging down from her head, and around her was a young man with oily hair and pink face, with a fair face, smiling at the side. : "Let me see."

Yan Yiliu's maid looked cold and scolded: "You are so brave! Do you know who the person in front of you is?"

The white-faced young man smiled and said: "I am Hao Sheng, the sixth son of the Hao family. This little lady has a hidden appearance. I want to take a look, can't I?"

At this time, Yan Yiliu frowned his slender eyebrows, a little angry at the harassment of such a prodigal son. Under the veil of the bamboo hat, there was a hint of worry on his cold face without makeup, and his voice was cold. Said: Xiaomei, let’s go. "

The servants beside the white-faced young man quickly surrounded him from front to back.

The white-faced young man stopped Yan Yiliu's path with a playful smile, his eyes fell on the curvy girl's body with salivation, and said: "Don't go, I want you to see how handsome this girl is. Is it the Moon Palace Fairy who is covering her face with a veil?"

Yan Yiliu frowned and raised his eyes to look at the people blocking the road. He was furious. He clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves and was about to teach them a lesson.

Because Yan Yiliu came here to seek medical advice about the child, so he did not bring any servants with him. At this time, a tangled young man appeared, but it was difficult to take action for a while.

Yan Yiliu was not afraid due to his family background and martial arts skills. At this moment, just as he was about to take action, he heard a gentle and calm voice not far behind him: "Stop!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked at the person who said it.

Hao Sheng squinted his eyes, vaguely feeling that the person in front of him looked familiar.

The servant next to Hao Sheng stared at the young man coming down the stairs and said, "Who are you? Do you dare to interfere with our Mr. Zhao's affairs?"

Jia Heng frowned, looked at the young man with indifferent eyes, and said in a deep voice: "A member of the Hao family? The grandson of the former Grand Tutor Hao Jiru? Do you know the king's law?"

"Who are you?" When the person opposite mentioned his grandfather's name, the young man felt a little timid.

At this moment, Hao Sheng sneered and said sarcastically: "Who are you? How dare you tell me what kind of king you are in this Jinling City?"

If Jia Heng was still wandering around Jinling City before, the dignitaries in Jinling City would also ask their children to stay quiet for a while recently and not to act rampantly in the city and attract the attention of Duke Wei.

In other words, for example, Xue Pan allowed his domestic slaves to beat people to death in Jinling, which was just the tip of the iceberg among local powerful officials in Jinling.

The day before yesterday, when Jia Heng returned north by boat, all the prominent families in Jinling City began to behave like wild horses running wild, with debris rising up.

"Hey, who are you? You're such a nosy, nosy!" The servant next to the young man said sternly: "Who in Jinling City doesn't know about our Hao family, so why do you dare to come looking for us?" "

Jia Heng shouted deeply and said, "Li Shu."

At this time, Li Shu and several Jinyi Mansion detectives were drinking in the distance. After hearing this, he came from a short distance away and surrounded several people from all sides.

The sound of "bing ping pong" sounded, and along with a few muffled grunts, the Jinyi Mansion guards knocked all of Hao Sheng's servants to the ground.

Hao Sheng looked anxious and frightened, and said: "Quick, quick, report to the official."

Li Shu had already taken out a token from his waist and said in a deep voice: "Jinyi Mansion is here, let me see who dares to make a mistake!"

"This is someone from Jinyi Mansion."

Hao Sheng looked pale and stepped back, wanting to take the first step, but at this moment, two detectives in brocade clothes approached and held Hao Sheng down.

Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the beauty wearing a white veil, and whispered: "This lady, everything is fine."

This person should be a noble person with status. The people of the Hao family have no eyesight. Just from the knitting and embroidery work on this dress, they can tell that he is a noble person in the palace.

Yan Yiliu thanked him, but just raised his eyes and glanced at the young man, feeling slightly surprised, why was he here?

When Jia Heng and Princess Xianning entered the palace to pay their respects to Queen Song, Princess Yan Yiliu of Wei was sitting behind a screen. She had obviously seen Jia Heng.

The maid next to Yan Yiliu said, "May I ask the name of this young master? Who is he from the Jinyi Mansion? My wife is Princess Wei."

"Xiaomei." Yan Yiliu scolded softly from the side.

Jia Heng smiled and said: "It turns out to be Princess Wei. I said she looked familiar just now. I am the Commander in Chief Jia Heng."

Talking about Xianning, he even called her sister-in-law, but because of Nan'an's family, she stopped calling her.

Yan Yiliu turned around, his voice as pure as gold, and asked, "Why is Duke Wei here? Didn't he already escort his mother and Xianning back to the north?"

Jia Heng whispered: "I have something to do when I return to Jinling temporarily."

He didn't ask Yan Yiliu about his purpose of coming, because Tian Niuer and Xian Ning had told him before that Yan Yiliu went south to visit the doctor because of his infertility.

Yan Yiliu said softly: "I went upstairs to meet an old friend. This time I am troublesome to Duke Wei."

Jia Heng said in a clear voice: "We are all one family, Princess Wei, there is no need to be polite."

Whether it was from Xian Ning's side or from Tian Niu'er's side, it was not wrong to say that he and Yan Yiliu were a family.

When Yan Yiliu heard about the family, his heart skipped a beat, his face paused slightly, and he said softly, "Hmm". He didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, Li Shuxing came closer, clasped his fists and said, "Captain, the man has been arrested, how should we deal with him?"

Jia Heng's face was filled with frost and he said, "Take it back first and let the Hao family come to pick them up."

Li Shu raised his hand and said yes, and then escorted the Hao family members out of the inn lobby with several Jinyi guards.
