The Red Mansions

Chapter 1254 Mrs. Wang: This girl Yun, why is her Baoyu so bad?

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall

"Old lady, Uncle Heng is here." A nanny entered the hall with a prosperous smile on her face.

"Please come in quickly." Mother Jia greeted her softly with a smile on her kind-hearted face.

When Zhu Jinchai who was talking in Rongqing Hall heard this, they all looked towards the threshold of the hall, their hearts full of expectation.

The two chubby girls, Xiangyun and Baoqin, raised their charming faces, and looked at the young man with their bright and clear eyes, unable to conceal the joy in their hearts.

Baoqin stared at the young man, his eyes filled with water, remembering bits and pieces of the past for some reason.

In this way, under the attention of everyone, Jia Heng and Yuanyang entered the hall together, saluted Jia Mu, and said, "I have seen the old lady."

"Brother Heng, you're back. Come and sit over here." Jia Mu smiled and stretched out her hand to say hello.

Jia Heng nodded, then sat down and asked, "I haven't seen you for more than a month. How is the old lady doing in Beijing?"

"Okay." Mother Jia smiled, and then asked with a searching look in her eyes: "A lot of things happened in Beijing just now. I heard that King Qi and King Zhongshun rebelled against each other."

After all, she had experienced a lot, so the old lady didn't make such a fuss about some things in Beijing.

Jia Heng said: "Now several people have been taken to the imperial prison to await their fate. In the next few days, the Holy Emperor should deal with them at the court meeting."

Jia Mu nodded and said warmly: "That's good. We are quite worried when we hear the shouts of killing outside."

Jia Heng said warmly: "Previously, I suspected that something happened in the capital. I asked Jia Chang and Jia Yun to protect Ning Rong and Ning Rong. There should be nothing wrong with them."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Brother Heng, you should be more cautious."

As he spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang felt a little uncomfortable, and the beads she was fidgeting with stopped slightly.

"Brother Heng, you are back from Shandong. Is the war over in Shandong over?" Jia Mu nodded and asked with concern.

Jia Heng said: "After the battle of Yanzhou Prefecture, the Shandong White Lotus Cult bandits and the guards' rebels have been wiped out. There are only a few things left to take care of in Shandong."

Jia Mu nodded, smiled and said, "You have won another battle."

At this moment, most of the golden hairpins in the hall had a hint of lightness on their faces.

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Brother Heng is good at fighting. Didn't we know this before we went out? It will definitely go smoothly."

Under Baochai Cuiyu's beautiful eyebrows, her eyes were charming, and she glanced at Aunt Xue, with an unnatural look on her face, fearing that Aunt Xue would say "granted marriage" at this time.

Daiyu stretched out her hand and gently pulled Baochai's bare hand, with a hint of joking in her shining starry eyes.

There was a hint of embarrassment between Baochai's eyebrows, and he turned to look at Daiyu, who had willow-browed eyebrows and starry eyes.

She knew that Yan'er was someone who liked to make fun of others.

Jia Heng nodded, raised his eyes to look at Jia Mu, and said warmly: "These days, I can have some leisure time, but there is another case of King Qi's rebellion in Beijing, and this case still needs to be investigated in the next few days."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "When you come back, my heart will be settled."

Jia Heng said: "Don't worry, old lady, nothing will happen to you in Beijing."

Jia Mu nodded and asked with curiosity on her face: "What are the palace's plans to do with these people?"

Such a big conspiracy case, I don't know how many people have their families broken up.

Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Chen Rong and his son, as well as the King of Qi, are not only treasonous, but also have other evil deeds. I'm afraid it's hard to save their wealth and life."

Not only will these people be punished, but his trip to Shandong should also be praised for his merits, so there will be no reward.

Baochai and Daiyu have already promised to get married due to the New Deal. This time they will probably not get married due to their efforts in quelling the rebellion in Shandong. Moreover, it is a time of national mourning, so any wedding plans will be stopped.

When Jia Mu heard this, she sighed and said, "Why did we get to this point?"

Jia Heng said: "This matter is related to the safety of the country."

Jia Mu was silent for a moment and said: "I thought that there would be no war this year and that we would be able to live in peace for a while. I didn't expect that something like this would happen again. His uncle in Xiangyun also..."

Jia Heng said warmly: "Who will inherit the Baolinghou Mansion? I left in a hurry last time and didn't even have to pay tribute. This time I went to Jinan Mansion and I have already ordered people to find the body."

Jia's mother said: "It's his eldest son, Shi Shao, who is also twenty-six years old. He used to work in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. He came to visit me last time and said he wanted to meet you. But you were in Shandong at that time. ”

Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'll see him if I have some free time these days."

Once the four major families of King Jia Shi and Xue, such as Baoling Hou Shi Nai, left, the new head of the family was actually more convinced of him.

At this moment, Li Wan looked at the boy in the python suit, pursed his pink lips, and wrapped the handkerchief back and forth.

When he comes back this time, he should come to see her, right?

Since Jiangnan, the beauty has not received Jia Heng's intimacy for half a year. It is when the dead wood comes in spring and the marrow is eaten and the taste is known, she misses him all the time.

On the other side, Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi looked at the young man with similar eyes.

Compared with Jia Heng, who had a warm relationship with Chai Dai before leaving, the two sisters, Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi, had not had a good conversation with Jia Heng.

Bao Qin also stared at the young man. The little fat girl's face, as white as snow, was as red as rouge, like a begonia flower, as charming as a flower, bright and moving.

Jia Mu said, "It's already noon. Let the kitchen prepare some food. Brother Heng will have lunch here and then talk to Lin Yatou, Bao Yatou and the others."

Jia Heng nodded and said with a smile: "I'm feeling a little hungry all the way here."

Then, Sister Feng called Ping'er to go to the kitchen to prepare meals. Everyone sat down and started eating.

After eating the food, everyone sat down again to drink tea.

Jia Mu said softly: "Brother Heng, Baoyu is not young anymore. I want to arrange a marriage for him. What do you think?"

Of course, it was not to seek Jia Heng's opinion, but to see if Jia Heng had any other suitable daughters of the duke.

Jia Heng looked at Baoyu beside him, at the big round face like a silver basin, and said, "Didn't the old lady often say that Baoyu is still young? This shouldn't be urgent, right?"

Jia Mu: "..."

Why isn't it smaller?

"Baoyu is not young anymore," Jia Mu said softly.

Mrs. Wang pinched the beads, raised her brows, and couldn't help but snorted in her heart.

He secretly thought that this uncle Heng wished that his Baoyu family was like the eldest girl, and her marriage was not settled, so that people would laugh at her.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "The old lady thinks there is a girl from a certain family in Beijing who is suitable. I will wait for a while, but it is a national mourning now, and it is not suitable for marriage."

Nowadays, it is also a chat after tea.

Jia Mu said as if trying: "I think Girl Yun is quite suitable."

Nowadays, the only girls who have not yet been admitted in the entire Rongguo Mansion are Xiangyun and Wenqi. Wenqi came from a poor family, so naturally they are not as good as a prince like Xiangyun. Mother likes it.

But Jia Mu also has some hidden worries, that is... Xiangyun Bie has been booked by Jia Heng again, right?

As time went by, especially monks like Miaoyu became Jia Heng's concubines, and even became pregnant, Jia's mother gradually came to know what kind of person Jia Heng was.

I still have this concern in my mind.

Xiangyun was drinking tea and eating melons in a leisurely manner. Suddenly, he ate melons on himself. Fangxin was slightly startled, and her charming and innocent face was full of shock.

No, she couldn't promise it to her second brother.

Her innocence has been given to Brother Heng, how could she marry someone else?

In the eyes of the girl, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Jia Heng and Bao Qin playing around that day, and she already believed that her innocence was lost. Especially when she dreamed about Jia Heng several times and lost her virginity several times, it undoubtedly planted a seed in the girl's heart.

In his eagerness, Xiangyun, who originally couldn't distinguish between "love" and "second", said anxiously: "Auntie, I don't want to marry my second brother."

Baoyu: "..."

Mrs. Wang: “???”

This girl Yun, why is her Baoyu so bad?

A girl who has lost her parents since she was a child is still picky and picky? This is really unreasonable!

Jia Heng glanced at the girl with a charming and charming face, then looked at Jia Mu and said, "Sister Yun is still young. Besides, Baoyu has a stubborn temperament. He needs to find a good wife who can control him and supervise him." It is not appropriate for Sister Yun to have a child-like temperament if she can make a career in the future."

As he said that, he turned to look at Xiangyun, whose cheeks were red and his eyes were eager, and his eyes were warm to show relief.

At this moment, Baochai had hugged the little fat girl in his arms, looked at the people talking, and sighed softly in his heart.

With Baoyu's temper, how will Sister Yun live her life in the future if she follows him?

But Baoyu was already standing there blankly, his head was buzzing, and there was also some resistance on Zhongqiu Yueming's face.

He didn't like Sister Yun in the first place. But Jia Heng and Jia Mu just mentioned it casually. Jia Mu did not continue the topic in front of so many people. She smiled and said: "Brother Heng, you have come back from a thousand miles away and look at the world covered with dust. Let’s go back and take a rest first.”

Jia Heng said: "The old lady, wait here for a moment. I'll go check on the situation outside the house first."

King Zhongshun sent people to besiege Jia's mansion, but they had been repelled by Jia Yun and Jia Chang. He had to go and see the situation.

Then, under Jia Mu's watch, Jia Heng got up and left Rongguo Mansion to meet Jia Yun and Jia Chang.

Jia Chang looked solemn, clasped his fists and said, "I have seen Uncle Heng. All the men and horses sent by the Zhongshun County Prince's Palace were killed. Not a single soldier was allowed to enter the mansion and disturb the old lady and female family members."

Jia Heng nodded, with admiration in his eyes, and said, "You guys are such a good guard in the house, thank you for your hard work."

Jia Chang cupped his fists and said, "Uncle Heng."

Jia Heng turned to look at Jia Yun, who was standing quietly beside him, and called, "Brother Yun."

Lin Zhixiao's daughter Xiaohong, that is, Lin Hongyu, is Jia Yun's official spouse, and they can actually bring the two together.

However, now that Jia Yun has gained a lot of merit and is young and promising, she may not be willing to let Xiao Hong be his wife.

But that's not necessarily the case. After all, the two of them are destined to be together.

In fact, he rarely dismantles the official match, that is, Baoyu...

Jia Yun looked respectful, cupped her hands and said, "I've met Uncle Heng."

Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "There will be personnel adjustments in Jinyi Mansion recently. After a while, after you have handed over your errands in Beijing, you can go to Jinyi Mansion to run errands."

Among the young generals of the Jia family, Jia Chang and Jia Fang were promoted the fastest. It was inappropriate to be transferred to the Jinyi Mansion, but he did need a confidant of the Jia family to be placed in the Jinyi Mansion.

Previously, I heard Li Shu mention that the 5,000 households in Jinyi Mansion were also involved in rebellion. There will probably be a wave of adjustments, and Jia Yun will be transferred to the five outer offices.

Jia Yun was stunned for a moment, then cupped her hands and said, "Yes, Uncle Heng."

Jia Heng said: "Send someone to clean up all the blood stains on Ningrong Street."

Jia Chang and Jia Yun raised their hands and said yes.

After Jia Heng finished doing this, he returned to Ningguo Mansion without staying long.

I am indeed a little tired from this journey, and I need to take a shower. Xianning and Chanyue will probably come over in the evening.

Ningguo Mansion

It was mid-afternoon, the summer was scorching, the heat was rising, and the sun above our heads was a bit poisonous. It shone on the eaves and courtyards, and a lot of the rainwater was evaporated.

Jia Heng walked back to the backyard and met Qingwen in a blue dress. He smiled and said, "Qingwen, prepare some hot water, I want to take a bath."

Under Qingwen's beautiful eyebrows, there was a hint of resentment in her clear eyes, and she said softly: "The hot water has been prepared for the young master, please follow me."

Jia Heng nodded, and then followed Qingwen to the side room where she usually bathed.

Jia Heng said: "It looks a bit taller these days."

Qingwen said softly: "Tall or not, in the eyes of others, she is not a little girl who has not grown up."

Under Qingwen's service, Jia Heng took off his clothes and got into the bathtub. Looking at the girl with a pout that could hang a bottle of vinegar, he asked warmly: "Why am I still depressed when I come back?"

Since Qingwen has grown older, she is no longer satisfied with just scratching the surface. She will wait until the right time in a few days to become husband and wife.

To put it bluntly, Qingwen has been following him since she was young since she served him in Liutiao'er Hutong.

Qingwen gently picked up a handful of water, rubbed Jia Heng's shoulders, curled her lips and said, "No."

Jia Heng stretched out his hand and pinched Qingwen's chubby face, and said softly: "It's not easy to get married now during the national mourning period."

Qingwen snorted softly and said, "Young Master always has an excuse."

Jia Heng smiled, turned around, scraped the bridge of the girl's nose, and said, "It's really not an excuse. Just wait until you are busy for this period of time. Okay, give me a bath quickly."

Qingwen said "hmm" softly and helped Jia Heng take a bath.

Jia Heng finished his bath, put on a brand new azure gown, walked out of the wing and headed to the backyard to find Qin Keqing and his precious daughter.

Looking at the cute little baby, I felt a little bit happy.

At this time, the weather was already in the afternoon, and on the leafy plane trees in the courtyard, the cicadas' cries and the chirping of birds complemented each other, and there was a hint of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.

In the backyard and the hall, there are hairpin skirts and coats, surrounded by orioles and swallows.

Qin Keqing was teasing the infant baby, and not far away were Second Sister You, Third Sister You, and Mrs. You.

Baozhu smiled and said, "Grandma, uncle is here."

Under Qin Keqing's eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water. She raised her eyes to look at the young man in python suit and saw Jia Heng walking towards him.

"Husband, you are here." Qin Keqing's face showed joy, and her snow-white skin and jade face were full of gentleness and bright charm.

Since giving birth to a child, the years have also made this beauty lose her beauty as a girl, and she has gained a gentle and intellectual temperament.

Jia Heng said: "But Qing, let me see my daughter."

With that said, he walked closer, took over the swaddled baby, and looked at the cute and soft baby, feeling bursts of joy in his heart.

Second Sister You, who was not far away, looked at the unruly young man in a straight green shirt, with a trace of infatuation in her shining eyes.

How can there be someone in this world who is as sharp as a sword and as gentle as jade?

The people on Mo are like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.

When she thought that such a person was her own man and was bullying her so hard between the bed curtains, Second Sister You felt a little shaken and couldn't control herself. The embroidered shoes under her skirt moved closer together.

……

……

Not to mention that Jia Heng spent leisure time at home with his wife, concubines, and daughter, but he said that in the evening, the twilight was deep and the lanterns were first lit.

Shenjing City, Korean House

The study room is spacious and elegantly decorated, with a long red sandalwood desk, a huanghuali chair, and a lamp like a bean on the high table. The official hat is quietly placed on the desk. Under the light, a stack of paper Leaves a shadow on.

Han Huang sat on the pearwood chair in the study with a dejected expression, his face calm, and the words of Emperor Chongping kept echoing in his mind: "Li Qing, lead people to Gongling."

"It's time to resign and go into seclusion." Han Huang sighed and murmured.

As a scholar-official with high aspirations, a second-ranked scholar, and a minister who assists the country, it is impossible for others to chase him away, otherwise it will be a loss of dignity.

Even though Yang Guochang was greedy for power and realized that the emperor disliked him, he immediately resigned.

Han Huang thought for a moment, then went to his study, picked up his pen and ink, settled for a moment, and began to prepare a letter.

When it was completely dark, the housekeeper came to call Han Huang for dinner. This Han Huang had only been the first assistant in the Han Dynasty for less than two years and was only in his early fifties. However, when he looked at the memorial, he suddenly felt like Ten years older.

After he leaves, will there be anyone in the capital who can check and balance Duke Wei?

Maybe Mr. Li Ge and Gao Zhongping? Both of them are good at military affairs and should be able to keep an eye on Duke Wei.

Han Huang's frown slightly relaxed, he glanced at the bright moon outside, stopped thinking about the political situation in the court, and left the study.

Jinyi Mansion, in the imperial prison—

It was already nightfall, and the bright moon was bright in the summer night. The moonlight fell from the xuan window into the prison. Except for the "squeaking" of mice, the surroundings were so quiet that it was disturbing.

King Zhongshun Chen Rong and his son, and King Qi Chen Cheng were imprisoned by Jinyi Mansion, while Jia Yucun, Dou Rong and other aides were also imprisoned in imperial prisons.

In addition, Chen Rong's second son was also involved in the case. When a large number of Jinyi Mansion Tiqi raided the Zhongshun County Prince's Mansion, they were arrested together and sent to the imperial prison, where they were detained pending trial.

Jia Yucun was wearing prison uniform at the moment, looking up at the moon with a daze in his eyes.

I couldn't help but think of the poem he chanted to the moon in Zhen Shiyin's home on August 15th many years ago.

On the third and fifth day of the year, we are reunited, and the jade fence is protected by a handful of sunshine. It was only held out in the sky, and all the people in the world looked up.

I don't know when, Jia Yucun had burst into tears and felt sad in his heart. He thought about how Jia Yucun, who was born in the second rank of Jinshi, was reduced to a prisoner.

He took refuge in King Zhongshun, but King Zhongshun fell. He took refuge in King Chen Cheng of Qi, and King Chen Cheng of Qi... failed again. How could fate play tricks on him?

Jia Yucun looked up at the sky, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered that it seemed that everything started because of the case that was decided in Jinling. From then on, I was persecuted by the Duke of Wei.

But Xue Pan's sister is obviously the concubine of Wei Guo Gong Jia Heng, why is this so?
