The Red Mansions

Jinan Prefecture, Jingshou Temple

  In the backyard, Hauge sat in the Zen room and looked at the rockery and pavilion in the courtyard through the wooden window grille. It was April, and the flowers and herbs were gorgeous and bright. Butterflies were flying back and forth, walking through the flowers and herbs. between.

  At this moment, a guard in black entered the hall and whispered: "Your Majesty, that man is here."

  Hearing this, Hauge put down the steaming tea cup in his hand, and the solemn expression on his majestic and resolute face faded slightly.

  After a while, Chen Yuan and Ruan Yongde came to the courtyard, stared at Hauge, cupped their hands and said, "I have met the prince."

  At this time, Hauge came forward and held Chen Yuan's hand. His arm was steady and strong, and he suddenly supported Chen Yuan, which shocked Chen Yuan.

  Hauge smiled and said: "Let's talk in the room."

  Chen Yuan nodded, and then followed Hauge into the Zen room.

  At this moment, in the square Zen room, Hao took Chen Yuan's arm and sat down, saying: "Master Chen said before that he wanted to make a secret plan. I don't know where he started?"

  Chen Yuan lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, the commander of the Jining Guard is one of ours. If the King of Chu and the Shandong Admiral Yamen wanted to investigate the guard post, they would seize the opportunity to launch an attack and capture Jinan Prefecture in one fell swoop. The entire Shandong Province would support them, and they would go all over the place. war."

  Hauge's eyes showed some thoughts and said: "It sounds good."

  Chen Yuan said warmly: "Your Majesty, can you let the North Korean Navy go south again to contain the Shandong Denglai Navy from the sea, so that it will be easier for Shandong to cause trouble?"

  Hauge pondered for a moment and said loudly: "If there is chaos in Shandong, the Beijing camp will definitely send troops to suppress it. At that time, it was the Duke of Wei who led the troops to suppress it. Have you thought of a countermeasure?"

  Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, his slightly sinister eyes flickered, and said warmly: "If you are afraid of Jia Heng, then we don't have to do anything."

  Under Hauge's thick eyebrows, his tiger eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a deep voice: "What I mean is that I have to find a way to get rid of this person."

  Chen Yuan said bitterly: "There was a plan in the capital before, but because the one in the palace was so vigilant, it fell short in the end. Recently, he has also been looking for the kid's flaws. When the critical moment comes, he can hit it with one blow."

  Hauge nodded and said: "If you get a chance and need manpower, I will also contribute on my side!"

  He wanted to kill Jia Heng's child with his own hands. Only in this way could he relieve the hatred in his heart!

  Chen Yuan said: "The prince's men are all elite. Now we hope that the prince will lead the troops and join the Jining Mansion in the uprising."

  Hauge nodded and agreed.

  ……

  Shenjing, Ningguo Mansion, Grand View Garden
  Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked at the chubby girl who was trembling with her delicate body. He came closer and felt the fragrant powder floating under his nose. He couldn't help but put his arms around the chubby girl's shoulders and whispered softly: "Baby Qin, go find your sister."

  Bao Qin leaned her beautiful head in Jia Heng's arms, her delicate body almost collapsed into a ball, her eyes were as soft as water, and seemed to be full of affection, and she whispered: "Brother Heng, where are you going later? I Can I go with you?"

  The girl thought she had a physical relationship with Jia Heng, and she inevitably felt dependent on Jia Heng.

  "I'm going to Cucui Temple." Jia Heng gently stroked the little fat girl's two breasts, feeling the creaminess and softness overflowing in his palms, and said softly.

  Baoqin said "Yeah", her clear and bright jade cheeks were as red as clouds, and she whispered: "Then I will accompany Brother Heng there too."

  Jia Heng smiled and asked, "I'm going to see Miaoyu's child. What were you doing there?"

  Under Baoqin's two green-feathered eyebrows, a pair of moist apricot eyes seemed to be pleading, and said: "Brother Heng, can't you stay with me for a little longer?"

  She is like this, how can Brother Heng bear to leave him here alone?
  Jia Heng smiled, caressed Bao Qin's plump and delicate face, and said, "Well, then I'll spend more time with you."

  It was a little hard for the little fat girl to accept leaving like this. After all, for the girl, the shock on the tip of her tongue just now was no different from a real couple. Now she has become clingy. stand up.

  Bao Qin's eyebrows were filled with excitement, and her plump and bright face was as red as a blush. There was a radiant beauty in her fragrant skin. She said in a low voice: "Brother Heng, this new policy will not be rolled out across the country until now." when?"

  Jia Heng thought for a while and said in deep thought: "After this year, when the New Deal will be implemented in all the provinces of Han Dynasty, that is next year, at that time, the palace will reward you with meritorious service, and you will be given marriage to Sister Lin and Sister Xue as the royal wives. of."

  Baoqin's heart moved slightly, and she asked as if to test: "Brother Heng, can I marry you together at that time?"

  Marriage doesn’t have to be for just two people, right? Can't you take her with you?
  Jia Heng's subordinate paused slightly and said softly: "My sister is still young, so there is no rush to wait until later."

  When Bao Qin heard this, he felt disappointed, but he just said "hmm" and leaned his beautiful head in the boy's arms. Under his beautiful eyebrows, his clear and bright eyes were full of brightness and innocence.

  Jia Heng said softly: "Don't worry, sister. After three to five years, after Liaodong is pacified, if I can be made a county king, I will make my sister a sidekick..."

  Baoqin's bright eyes under her curved green-feathered eyebrows lit up slightly, and her heart beat loudly, but she heard the young man pause for a moment and say softly: "I will call you the royal wife."

  Baoqin: "..."

  No, she clearly heard that Brother Heng wanted to make him his concubine. Why did he change his mind temporarily?
  Under Jia Heng's sharp eyebrows, a smile appeared in his calm and stern eyes. He gently grabbed the girl's belly and changed the subject: "Sister Xue is so graceful and beautiful that people can't put it down."

  Now he has also learned Baochai's lesson. He really can't draw a cake anymore. If he says he can't do it, it's better not to say it.

  Bao Qin's cheeks were as red as a blush, her heart was filled with sweetness, her eyelashes were curved, and her crystal clear eyes were slightly lowered. She allowed the young man to be young and thin, and said in anger and shame: "Brother Heng is joking again, eh~"

  The girl spoke softly, feeling extremely shy in her heart.

  Brother Heng seemed to have kissed her just now... and he was kissing her again.

  Jia Heng gently let go of the little chubby girl's delicate body, and felt the scent of makeup and powder coming over him. Looking at Bao Qin with smooth skin, he felt a surge of love in his heart.

  Although she is slightly chubby at the same time, compared to Baochai, Baoqin also has her own richness.

  "Brother Heng, why are you kissing...kissing me?" Baoqin said lightly with crooked eyebrows and plump, white cheeks.

  "I don't even dislike Sister Baoqin, but Sister Baoqin still dislikes me." Jia Heng said clearly.

  Hearing this, Baoqin felt anxious and said softly: "Brother Heng, I don't dislike Brother Heng."

  Looking at the little chubby girl who was a little panicked, Jia Heng also felt a little amused. His brows were furrowed and his face was solemn. He straightened his face and said with a straight face, "Then I will never kiss Sister Baoqin again."

  Baoqin: "..."

  When the little girl heard this, her delicate body trembled violently, her cheeks turned red, her heart felt aggrieved, and her nose couldn't help but feel sour.

  What, you won’t be intimate with her anymore?
  I don't know if I was in a hurry, but I looked at the young man's eyes, moved closer to that face, and suddenly imprinted on it.
  Jia Heng was also a little surprised. He looked at the little chubby girl who looked like a snow doll and thought to himself, she is indeed a person who has been traveling around the sea and daring to take risks since she was a child.

  Jia Heng thought like this, stretched out his arms and gently hugged the girl's shoulders, inhaling the sweet scent like fairy wine.

  After a while, Baoqin's pink and jade face was soft and shiny, her eyes were filled with tears, and she said in a voice full of grievance: "Brother Heng, when did I dislike you, you knew how to bully me."

  Jia Heng gently stroked Bao Qin's plump face, gently stroked a strand of hair on her face, and said softly: "I don't like my sister, and I won't bully her like this."

  Baoqin leaned her beautiful head against Jia Heng's chest, listening to the man's heartbeat, and felt an unprecedented peace in her heart.

  I don't know when, the sun tilted, the sky was filled with sunset, and the gorgeous rays of light outside the window shone on the girl's face.

  In this way, Jia Heng and Bao Qin were affectionate for a while.

  "Sister Baoqin, it's getting late, go to Hengwuyuan to find your cousin." Jia Heng said softly with a warm light in his eyes.

  At this moment, in the evening, the western sky is full of sunset, like the fiery maple leaves stained by the layers of frost forest. At this moment, through the carved windows, it shines on Baoqin's pink and plump face, as if smeared with an intoxicating layer. of rouge.

  Baoqin bit her plump and slightly plump lips with a somewhat reluctant look in her eyes and said, "Brother Heng, I'll get up right now."

  She has been with Brother Heng for a while and is almost bald. It's time for her to go find her sister.

  Jia Heng stood up, took the little fat girl's soft hand, and walked out of the wing. Then they parted ways and walked quickly toward the Congcui Temple along a stone path covered with barren grass.

  It is the season of April, when flowers are in full bloom, fragrant flowers and grasses are swaying in the wind, and bursts of fragrance are coming.

  Grand View Garden, Eicui Nunnery

  This nunnery is built against the mountain, surrounded by pines, cypresses and vanilla. It is the turn of spring and summer, when the breeze blows and the blue waves turn into waves.

  In the wing-

  Across a screen embroidered with hibiscus flowers, Miaoyu was dressed in a wide blue dress with an elegant figure. She walked slowly, reaching out and gently caressing her bulging belly. On her cold and charming face, The frosty face of the past is no longer visible.

  And because of pregnancy, after the cold aura was gone, only the plump, bright aura was left flowing out.

  As Miaoyu's pregnancy entered the sixth month, her belly became more protruding, like a ball, and her face, which had originally been chiseled, became much plumper. Not far away, Xing Xiuyan was playing chess across an apricot-yellow chess field from Yingchun. Black and white chess pieces were fighting and clashing on the grid-shaped chessboard.

  At this moment, the maid Susu said: "Uncle, come here."

  Xing Xiuyan paused slightly at the white chess piece he was holding in his hand.

  Ever since being attacked three times by Jia Heng, this girl with a forest atmosphere could not help but become worried about that person.

  At this moment, Jia Heng stepped into the wing, looked at Miaoyu who was standing in front of the window looking out at the beautiful scenery in the garden, and said softly: "Master Tai."

  Miaoyu was also looking intently at this moment. Under her beautiful eyebrows, her beautiful watery eyes were shining and she said softly: "You're here."

  Jia Heng said: "You are pregnant now, and you feel a little tired after standing for a while. It's better not to stand in front of the window for too long."

  With such a big belly, it can be quite tiring sometimes.

  Under Miaoyu's curved willow-leaf slender eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as full as water, and she whispered: "I've been in bed alone for a long time, and I feel bored, so I went to the window to breathe in the air and watch the sunset."

  After becoming pregnant, this eccentric beauty had lost all her aura of aloofness and aloofness, and her eyes were filled with elegance and intelligence.

  Jia Hengxing came closer, held the beauty's slender arms, and said with a chuckle: "Then let's watch the sunset together."

  At this moment, Xing Xiuyan looked at the two people "you and me", her heart trembled slightly, and a touch of envy appeared in her eyes under her curved eyebrows.

  At this moment, Yingchun stood up under Qin Siqi's encouragement, came closer, saluted Jia Heng, and said, "Brother Heng."

  Jia Heng stared at the girl with dull eyebrows, her face paused slightly, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional in her heart, and whispered: "Sister Yingchun, are you playing chess?"

  If he hadn't intervened, Yingchun would have been promised to Sun Shaozu.

  At this moment, Xing Xiuyan also came forward and saluted the young man. His cold face that resembled spring water from a sakai was enveloped by a carefree aura that seemed to come out of Lan Yunxiu, and he said softly: "Brother Heng."

  Jia Heng nodded with warm eyes and said, "Xiuyan, I haven't seen you for a few days."

  Saying that, he sat down.

  At this moment, Su Su came very close, offered her some fragrant tea, and then walked away with a bright red face.

  Miaoyu held her swollen belly and came closer. Her bright and clear eyes moved slightly, and she said softly: "If you are not busy with official duties today, why do you have time to come to me?"

  Jia Heng took a sip of the fragrant tea, looked gently at the beauty with a charming look on her eyebrows, and said, "Come here to see you and the baby. How are you doing lately? Is the fetal movement severe?"

  Miaoyu was stared at by the young man's eyes, her face as white as jade was as beautiful as a glow, she stretched out her hand to gently caress her swollen belly, under her slender eyebrows, her narrow and bright eyes seemed to have inexplicable meaning, and she said softly: "Fortunately, he is moving a lot now. Maybe he saw his father coming."

  Jia Heng smiled and put down the tea cup.

  Miaoyu is really different. She can make some husband-wife jokes for him. I can only say that children are really a good medicine to heal a woman.

  The premise is that this woman is kind-hearted.

  At this time, Yingchun also got up, lowered her head, said goodbye to Miaoyu, and said softly: "Sister Miaoyu, I'm leaving first."

  Miaoyu said: "You and Xiuyan might as well play chess here, while your brother Heng and I take a walk in the courtyard."

  And Xing Xiuyan raised her eyes to look at the young man, pursed her pink lips, and stopped talking.

  Jia Heng nodded towards Xing Xiuyan and said, "Sister Xiuyan and sister Yingchun will play chess first."

  As he spoke, he held Miaoyu's delicate hand and whispered: "Miaoyu, let's go to the courtyard to watch the sunset."

  Miaoyu softly said "Hmm", and under Liuye's slender eyebrows, a glimmer of joy could not help but appear in her watery eyes.

  He understands her.

  The two of them now came to the courtyard where the Cuicui Temple was located, and on a gravel path, they looked at the golden-red sunset in the western sky.

  Under her slender brows, Miaoyu turned to look at the young man with a clear face. Her bright eyes blinked, and she whispered softly: "Have you decided on a name for the child?"

  Jia Heng held the girl's slender crotch and said softly: "Isn't it true that a boy or a girl is not sure yet? It won't be too late to get up again after giving birth."

  Under Miaoyu Cuiyu's beautiful eyebrows, her eyes were as full as water, and her tone seemed to have a hint of resentment as she said, "I don't care at all."

  Jia Heng: "..."

  I have really entered the role of being a mother ahead of time.

  However, seeing the gentleness and brightness in the girl's eyebrows, I felt a little strange in my heart.

  Miaoyu indeed has a much different air of coolness than before.

  Jia Heng thought for a while and said without hesitation: "Why don't you call me Jia Bo? The heart of Bodhi is pure and flawless."

  Under Miaoyu's curved eyebrows, a look of surprise appeared in her crystal clear eyes, and she said: "This name is suitable for both men and women, but the Zen meaning is too strong. You can think of another one."

  At this moment, Miaoyu didn't want her son to follow the path of Buddhism like her. Not to mention fighting in the officialdom, at least he would be successful, wealthy and safe in the future.

  Jia Heng chuckled lightly and said, "Then wait for me to think about it for the next two days."

  Miaoyu, with bright eyebrows and a delicate and straight nose, seemed to snort, but did not continue to question the young man.

  Jia Heng held Miaoyu's hand, and the two of them looked at the old red plum trees in the courtyard. It was mid-spring, and naturally they had not sprouted or bloomed.

  As the sun sets, the branches and leaves of the thin plum blossoms are sparse and swaying, casting thin shadows on the jade steps.

  Jia Heng gently held Miaoyu's arm and whispered: "Master Miaoyu, let's go sit in the octagonal pavilion over there and look at the scenery."

  Under the slender eyebrows of Miao Jade Feathers and Willow Leaves, those bright eyes were as bright as water, and they followed Jia Heng to sit down in the pavilion.

  At this moment, the two of them were sitting on wooden chairs in an octagonal pavilion with overhanging eaves. Jia Heng put his arms around Miao Yu's shoulders, and Miao Yu leaned her head on Jia Heng's shoulders.

  Jia Heng stared at the sunset in the western sky. At this moment, the sunset was shining on him, and he felt a quiet and peaceful atmosphere enveloped him, like an elderly couple who had gone through golden years.

  Jia Heng's expression suddenly paused and he said softly: "Miaoyu, it would be great if we can still hug each other like this when we enter our octogenarian years."

  Miaoyu is really a good spiritual companion. Although she is also a little temperamental, her youthful and melancholy temperament really makes people sway and indulge in it.

  Miaoyu turned her plump face, her long and curved eyelashes seemed to be cutting through the sparse sunlight, and her narrow eyes were clear and flashing, and said: "When I grow old, I will be sallow, and you may dislike me again." Me."

  Jia Heng said in surprise: "How could that happen?"

  "There are a lot of little girls around me, all dressed up in fancy clothes. In a few years, I'm afraid there will be even more beautiful little girls." Under Miaoyu's curved eyebrows, her slightly bright eyes were filled with anger. said softly.

  Sometimes, I get a little angry when I think about it, she is pregnant with his child, and he is still out there messing around with women.

  Jia Heng gently held Miaoyu's plain hand, stared at the beauty, and said softly: "There are three thousand pieces of weak water, I only take one scoop and drink it."

  Miaoyu snorted softly and said, "It's better to say it than to sing it."

  At this moment, I still have the scent of that little girl's powder on my body.

  Jia Heng didn't pay attention to Miaoyu's little emotions and said, "I'll listen to the child's movements."

  As he spoke, he lowered his body and leaned against Miaoyu's swollen belly to listen carefully, and the sound of fetal movement came over.

  The two talked like this for a while, and Jia Heng said softly: "It's getting dark now, let's go inside and talk."

  Miaoyu said softly "Hmm".

  Jia Heng said, took Miao Yu's slender hand and walked towards the Zen room.

  At this moment, Xing Xiuyan was holding a book in his hand and didn't leave for a while.

  ……
