The Red Mansions

Ningguo Mansion is already at the turn of the year, and as night falls, the moonlight shines in the courtyard one after another. On the green bricks and black tiles, the dragons are winding and rising, and they are lush and green.

Jia Heng entered the backyard hall, and at this moment he couldn't help but hear the noisy voices in the inner room. From the sound, he felt vaguely familiar, it was Princess Xianning and Qin Keqing.

Princess Xianning stood up, looked at the boy in the python suit, and said happily: "Sir, are you back?"

Li Chanyue also stood up, looked at the young man, and said softly: "Mr. Xiao Jia."

Since Jia Heng returned to Beijing, Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue had only seen each other from a distance when Jia Heng led his troops to help Emperor Chongping.

Jia Heng nodded, sat down and asked, "Xianning, Chanyue, why are you two here?"

Princess Xianning said: "Come and stay with Sister Qin for two days, and also to see Fu'er."

At this moment, the nanny beside her was holding an infant girl in her arms.

Qin Keqing looked at Jia Heng and Princess Xianning with a half-smile.

Under Princess Xianning's willow-leaf slender eyebrows, her crystal-clear eyes were as full as water, and she asked with concern: "Sir, what did your father say?"

An event as big as the rebellion of King Chen Cheng of Qi not only affected the minds of the entire capital, but Princess Xianning was also secretly paying attention to the direction of the matter.

But because Jia Heng is the presiding judge.

Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "Send someone to interrogate the case. There should be results at the court meeting tomorrow. There are still some remaining karmic consequences. You and Chan Yue stay well at home. If you travel normally, send more guards."

Princess Xianning said: "Sir, do you want to go over to Shandong?"

Jia Heng said: "If we wait for a while and nothing happens, we will issue an order to withdraw the troops from Shandong. I will wait in Beijing for a month or two and then go to Denglai."

Under Li Chanyue's willow eyebrows, her pair of star-studded eyes looked at the young man unwaveringly, as if in deep thought.

Qin Keqing quietly watched the conversation between Princess Xianning and Jia Heng, pursed her slightly pink lips, picked up the tea cup on the side and took a sip to relax.

She was the first wife, and she had a child by her side. Even though she was a girl, she had to keep her composure.

Jia Heng said a few words, then turned to Qin Keqing and said, "Keqing, have you had dinner?"

Qin Keqing said: "I just used it with Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Princess."

Jia Heng nodded and said, "Let me take a look at Fu'er."

With that said, he walked closer and took the swaddled baby from the hands of the nanny. The pink and jade-like little girl had long eyebrows and stretched out her little hands with a smile on her face.

Princess Xianning watched that scene quietly, with a hint of envy in her beautiful eyes. It was almost a year since the Chinese New Year, and it was time for her to have her own child.

Jia Heng teased his daughter, then turned to look at Qin Keqing and Princess Xianning, and asked: "Keqing, you and Xianning talk first, I'll go back first."

Every time Xianning and Keqing were together, they always felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.

Qin Keqing snorted softly and said, "He's gone again."

Princess Xianning picked up Fu'er and said, "Sir, you may be worried about a fight between the two of us."

Qin Keqing: "..."

There shouldn't be a fight. The princess is accompanied by a helper, although it doesn't look lethal.

Princess Xianning came over with the baby girl in her arms and said softly: "Let the husband come over tomorrow."

When Qin Keqing heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

What does this princess mean? Could it be that we are... serving our husband together?

After all, he had served Jia Heng with Third Sister You before, so he was no stranger to the implication of Xian Ning's words.

Princess Xianning kissed the infant girl, looked at the beauty with clear eyes like water, and said: "It won't be like a snipe and a clam competing for the fisherman's profit."

Qin Keqing's cheeks flushed slightly and she said, "That's right."

Li Chanyue was listening on the sidelines, Zangxing Yunyue's eyes flashed, and her slender hands grasped the handkerchief.

Should I tell Mr. Jia so that he can take precautions in advance?

……

……

The night fell, everything was silent, and the bright moon was as bright as silver, shining on the stone steps in front of the court. The steps were as clear as jade, just like the clear water in the sky, shining brightly on the figures, and there was silence all around.

On Jia Heng's side, he stepped into the room and looked directly at Second Sister You. The beauty was sitting not far away, wearing an embroidered lotus girdle, like a hibiscus flower in bud, her skin was delicate and beautiful. Better than snow.

As Jia Heng spoke, he slowly stepped forward and asked, "Second sister, why are you here?"

Second Sister You was startled at first, then turned around with her graceful and quiet face, her gentle and beautiful eyebrows showed joy, and said softly: "Uncle, it's a little hot in the room, I'm just outside Let the wind blow in the pavilion."

Jia Heng said, walking slowly closer, staring at the beauty, holding Sister You's slender catkins, and said softly: "It's hotter in summer."

It is the hot summer in June, and the heat is soaring. From time to time, cicada calls and chirps can be heard from the sycamore trees. When the hot wind blows on people, they feel drunk and want to fall asleep.

Second Sister You's beautiful cheeks were as red as a blush, and she said softly: "Master, have you just come back from the Yamen? Have you had dinner?"

Jia Heng said warmly: "Those who came back from the palace have already eaten."

With that said, he took Second Sister You's delicate hand and said softly: "Second Sister, how are you doing at home these days?"

Second Sister You's beautiful face was flushed, her head was slightly lowered, and her voice was delicate and charming, and she said with an indescribable charm: "Isn't it like that at home, and the uncle is not at home either?"

Jia Heng gently pinched the beauty's plump cheeks and said with a smile: "I usually spend more time outside. This time I come back to spend more time with you."

Second Sister You was so happy and sweet that she said angrily: "Uncle pinched my face and treated me like a child."

In the past, I often saw him pinching Xiangyun's face lovingly like this.

Jia Heng hugged the beauty's plump body and said softly: "Yes, the second sister is not that big this year."

Second Sister You said softly: "I'm nineteen years old. I forgot."

Jia Heng piled a snowman and said softly: "It's been a few years."

Second Sister You suddenly felt something strange in front of her. Her delicate body became soft and turned into mud. Her heart trembled slightly and she said, "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng said, taking Sister You's slender hand and quickly entered the wing.

"Where is the third sister?" Jia Heng's eyes moved slightly and he asked with a surprised look on his face: "I didn't see her in the hall just now."

"Let's go to Eldest Sister's place." Second Sister You said in a low voice with her cheeks slightly ashamed and her heart pounding.

Jia Heng just asked casually and did not continue to ask. He said warmly: "Second sister, it is a period of national mourning recently. We will wait for a few months to discuss the matter of marriage."

"Well, it's fine for me to make the decision. I'm not in a hurry." Second Sister You, Wanli, said softly with a gentle and gentle face and a timid voice.

Anyway, she is already Uncle Heng's person. She is his person in life and his ghost in death. It doesn't matter if she crosses the line at any time.

It can be said that Sister You is really obedient now when she is in love.

Jia Heng looked at Sister You and said, "I won't treat you badly."

No matter what happens in this life, the second sister will not end up swallowing gold and dying. Of course, swallowing... will also happen.

A hint of shame gradually appeared on Sister You's plump and bright jade cheeks, but she saw that the boy in the python suit had come closer, and the warm breath hit her nostrils and hit her face.

After a while, Second Sister You's quiet and beautiful face was already as red as drunkenness, and a layer of moist and tranquil mist suddenly appeared in her clear and beautiful eyes. She stared at Jia Heng with a heart full of joy. Full of joy and sweetness.

If I hadn't listened to the third sister's words, I probably wouldn't have known how long it would take.

Just when the two were getting tired of being together, there was a joking chuckle, and then the bead curtain rustled.

"Hey, what are these two people doing? I just left them for a while." Sanjie You was dressed in a light red breastplate and a water-blue skirt. Her figure was as graceful as a weak willow supporting the wind. She took three swaying steps and took a step forward. Enter the wing room.

Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Third Sister You and asked, "You're back."

The third sister became more and more charming and bright. As she walked, the smoke looked at her charmingly.

She originally had an extremely gorgeous appearance and facial features, and she was good at dressing up normally. Now her hair is pulled up, and her head is covered with hairpins and pearls. The pearls are overflowing, and she is full of green flowers. She is even more charming and beautiful.

"It's nothing to disturb the uncle, is it?" Third Sister You asked with a smile on her face and charming eyes, as if she was joking.

In the past, she looked reluctant to eat, but now the second sister doesn't need her to take the initiative to talk to her. The two are already together.

I'm afraid it's the same with the eldest sister. When they get to bed, the uncle may not be interested in what the eldest sister will give him.

It was difficult for her to spend this period of time with her frown every day, like a resentful woman.

Jia Heng looked slightly startled, stretched out his hand to take Third Sister You's hand, and said softly: "I'm talking nonsense all day long."

As he spoke, he hugged the beauty's soft and delicate body, and felt the fragrance of spices filling his nose, making people's hearts flutter.

Third Sister You was a little shy now, and said with a chuckle: "Uncle, are you done with the things outside?"

Jia Heng nodded and said softly: "I'm still very busy these days. The Jinyi Mansion has been trying recent major cases for the past two days."

Third Sister You seemed to be complaining, and said softly: Uncle, it seems that the Qing Dynasty has been reduced a lot recently. The uncle is willing to use Wen and Wu. No matter how easy it is to use, you can't just use the uncle. "

Jia Heng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Aren't you the same?"

The third sister is indeed good at playing with women, just... very good at it.

Third Sister You's plump cheeks were as red as a blush, and she nestled her cloud-like hair in Jia Heng's arms. She was so ashamed that she said angrily, "What are you talking about?" Jia Heng took Third Sister You's hand. , said: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, let's talk."

Just now, I was sitting across the table from Sweet Girl, and my heart was a little palpitating.

As the three of them talked, they came to the inner room. Second Sister You picked up a celadon teapot, poured some tea for Jia Heng, and held it over. Her gentle and beautiful face was filled with a look of infatuation.

Third Sister You frowned and said softly: "Then King Chen Cheng of Qi is so good, why did he rebel?"

Jia Heng took a sip of the fragrant tea and said: "What else could it be? People are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants, so they want to be the emperor."

As soon as he said these words, Jia Heng was stunned.

Maybe he does too?

No, at least he doesn't have these thoughts now. It's just to protect himself to the greatest extent.

Second Sister You raised her head, and a look of curiosity appeared on her quiet and beautiful face.

Under the slender eyebrows, Third Sister You's beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she asked curiously: "Uncle, this kind of reverse case will involve a lot of people."

Jia Heng said: "There are hundreds of officials and families who have been destroyed. If it were the king, tens of thousands of people could be implicated. But now that the imperial court is in ruins, it is not appropriate for the government to be unstable."

As he spoke, he pinched Sister You San's chin with smooth and delicate skin and said softly: "It's so good, why do you suddenly ask about this?"

Under the curved willow-leaf slender eyebrows, Third Sister You's beautiful eyes seemed to be moistened with soft waves, and she said softly: "Am I not curious?"

Jia Heng said: "I'll tell you later."

He changed the topic and asked, "How are you doing at home recently?"

Third Sister You smiled and said, "Everything is fine, except that the uncle is not at home."

Plain hands and below.

"This is similar to what the second sister said just now. You two are indeed sisters." Jia Heng pinched Third Sister You's face, but saw a layer of shyness and shyness on the beauty's childish eyebrows, and then But he took the initiative to move closer, and those two red lips that looked like rose petals immediately pressed towards her.

After a while, Third Sister You looked at her with longing eyes and said, "This time, the uncle has done the service of protecting me. Isn't it time to grant him a marriage? By the way, there is also Princess Le'an."

Jia Heng said: "It is unlikely that the marriage will be granted this time. Now is the national mourning. The marriage may have to be pushed back."

Speaking of which, he didn't see Yaruo today. He should be in his mansion. He will go and see Miaoyu in the next two days. She is pregnant with Liujia at the moment and should give birth in a month or two.

Third Sister You, with beautiful eyebrows, said softly: "Don't you want to reward me with something?"

Jia Heng said: "How about I make you a royal wife?"

Third Sister You smiled and said, "Uncle, what do I mean by this? Besides, how can I, a wild girl from a small family, be worth it?"

Jia Heng looked thoughtfully into Sister You's eyes and said softly: "It will happen in the future."

When Sanjie You heard this, her heart trembled and she said softly: Master. "

Jia Heng stroked the beauty's shoulders and said softly: "Okay, it's getting late, let's take a rest early."

Under the beautiful eyebrows of Third Sister You, her clear and beautiful eyes were charming, and she said softly: "Then Second Sister and I will serve you."

I haven't seen him for a while, and I really miss him.

Here, Second Sister You was stunned, but her sister grabbed her hand and said angrily: "Third Sister."

But at this moment, Third Sister You whispered a few words in Second Sister You's ear, and she didn't know what she said, which made Second Sister You's cheeks blush like haze, which suddenly extended to her beautiful neck and earlobes.

Jia Heng didn't say anything else. Under the service of Second Sister You and Third Sister You, he lay quietly on the bed and looked at the Su embroidery pattern on the curtain, but then he remembered something that was on his mind.

At this moment, the candlelight on the tables shone like water, falling on both sides of the curtain, and two faces as bright as the spring and autumn moon were visible, like two lotuses blooming side by side.

After a while, Jia Heng stood up, patted Third Sister You, and whispered: "Third Sister, has your mother ever asked about Second Sister?"

The second sister You was a little dazed, and then she felt the softness on the snow back. She was about to say something, but she heard the third sister whispering in her ear.

Second Sister You's heart was shaken and she was dumbfounded. What...what are you giving me? It's really unethical.

Third Sister You whispered: "Sister Qin and I are like this sometimes."

Hearing this, Second Sister You pursed her pink lips and couldn't say much else.

Third Sister You's beautiful face was as red as drunkenness, Qiongbi snorted in her nose, held Second Sister You's shoulders, and said: "She seemed to be so happy when she heard that Second Sister had followed you."

Jia Heng's expression paused, his sword eyebrows raised, his eyes condensed, and he said: "Wait for a while, and then let the second sister come over."

Then, it was like carrying fifteen buckets of water.

Second Sister You bit her pink lips with her beautiful teeth, and snorted from time to time in her nose. She seemed to be a little embarrassed, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Third Sister, how about... let's change."

At this moment, Sanjie You had already leaned into the beauty's ear and whispered: "Who let me be the younger sister? It is my elder sister who should let me. It will be fine in the future when I call the eldest sister."

Second Sister You's beautiful face was as red as the clouds, but her mind was swaying, and she was already a little at a loss, so she had to let Third Sister You alone.

At this moment, the courtyard separated by a wall——

In the wing room, candlelight was still lit. The beauty was dressed in a blue and white dress. She had a plump and exquisite figure, but there was a hint of resentment between her willow eyebrows.

Youshi's elegant and bright face showed a look of trance. From time to time, she raised her head and glanced at the courtyard where Third Sister You was. After thinking about it, she quickly left the wing.

Yindie was a little surprised and asked: "Grandma, it's so late, where are you going?"

"It's hot, the room is stuffy, and I can't sleep. I'll go out for a walk." You said with an unnatural look on his face.

While talking, the beauty tiptoed along the corridor through a moon door and entered the courtyard where Sanjie You was.

At this moment, the summer night is bright and clear, and a bright moon hangs high in the sky, shining brightly on the earth. The strands of moonlight are as thin as a veil, as if dyeing the entire courtyard with a layer of frost.

As she gradually approached the wing with dim lights, Youshi's heart rose in her throat and kept beating. Holding the handkerchief, she tiptoed to the window, and immediately heard the sound that sounded like the sound of Yang Guan San. Overlapping sounds.

Youshi's cheeks suddenly flushed red with embarrassment, she sighed secretly, and was about to leave, but heard the conversation between the two people coming from the room.

"Uncle, it's not easy for my eldest sister to be a widow for so many years." Third Sister You said softly.

Youshi was startled, and now she became curious. She almost strained her ears to listen to the conversation in the side room.

Jia Heng said softly: "Didn't I say before that if she wants to remarry, I will tell the old lady."

When You heard this, her face suddenly turned pale as paper. Suddenly her heart ached, and the handkerchief in her hand became a little tight.

When did she say she was going to leave the house and remarry? This person...why doesn't he understand her heart?

For a moment, the beauty felt that her hands and feet were cold, and her elegant and graceful jade cheeks were filled with resentment.

Third Sister You's voice was a bit intermittent, her tone was like an oriole coming out of the valley, tactful and charming, and she said softly: "Does the uncle really not know what the elder sister is thinking?"

While talking, Youshi finally couldn't help it. She tiptoed and approached the window slowly. She stretched out her finger, put it in her mouth, soaked it with saliva, pierced the window paper, and looked inside. She couldn't help but be shocked.

This...he, Third Sister is too ridiculous.

I really didn't expect it, or it was far beyond what the beauty had imagined.

It's just that compared to the young man's flattery and inferiority, Youshi is more concerned about how the young man will answer Third Sister You's question.

Jia Heng was puzzled: "What can I know?"

"Sister, she has uncle in her heart." Third Sister You said softly.

Youshi almost held her breath at this moment, not daring to miss a word.

Jia Heng looked deeply, was silent for a moment, and said warmly: "Let nature take its course, don't force it."

Under Youshi's beautiful eyebrows, her eyes paused slightly, her heart trembled slightly, she squeezed Luo Pa's plain hand, the joints were white and as smooth as jade.

What does it mean? Can you accept what she means?

Third Sister You chuckled lightly and said, "I understand. It just so happens that the second sister doesn't want to be down there, so let the eldest sister be down there."

Second Sister You was so confused at the moment that she couldn't hear the two people's nonsense at all, but her mind was immersed in the intermittent stormy waves.

At this moment, Mr. You heard the third sister's nonsense and saw the unspeakable scene. She felt that her delicate body was half limp and could hardly hold it. She quickly took the handkerchief, left the wing, and then returned to the courtyard where she lived.

When I returned to the house, my face was still as hot as fire.

Yindie asked curiously: "Grandma."

Youshi calmed down and said, "It's nothing. Go get a cup of tea. I'm thirsty."

Yindie was a little surprised, and didn't ask any more questions, and then handed over Yiyi's fragrant tea.

Youshi drank all the tea in the tea cup in one gulp, took a deep breath, and the blue dress under her collarbone rose and fell slightly. She raised her eyes and looked at the bright moon outside, feeling in a trance.

Maybe listen to Sanmei’s opinion?

But what would he think of her? Do you think she is unruly?

The beauty was confused for a moment, and then a little resentful. That man was obviously a womanizer, and even a monk...touched her, why?
