The Red Mansions

Ningguo Mansion, Grand View Garden, Cuicui Temple

At this moment, the nuns who were busy delivering babies all left the nunnery of Cucui Nunnery.

Qin Keqing was at a loss for a moment by the baby's crying. Yongmei's plump face was almost as bright as the clouds, and asked: "Husband, why is she crying?"

Jia Heng looked at the crying baby girl and said warmly, "I'll hold her and see."

While talking, he quickly took the infant girl from Qin Keqing.

Strangely enough, after reaching Jia Heng's arms, the crying stopped suddenly.

Qin Keqing: "..."

What do you mean, she looks very fierce.

Jia Heng smiled, caught the change in the beauty's expression, and said with a chuckle: "But Qing, this kid might just kiss me a little."

Qin Keqing's eyes were graceful and graceful, and she snorted slightly, but said nothing.

Jia Heng didn't say much after that. He handed the infant girl to the nanny beside him and said softly: "Let's go."

Newborn babies tend to be sleepy, so let them sleep a little longer to replenish their energy and make them full of energy.

Jia Heng and Qin Keqing came to the wing next to Huocui Temple and sat down.

Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes were shining brightly under her willow-leaf eyebrows, and she said warmly: "Husband, when will you set off?"

"Just these few days." Jia Heng said softly.

Qin Keqing nodded and said, "Husband, I have been spending more time with Miaoyu these past two days. She has just given birth and is in confinement, when she needs someone to accompany her the most."

She still has this bit of measure.

Thinking back on yourself, why wasn't that the case? I also need someone to accompany me.

Jia Heng nodded, and then watched Qin Keqing leave.

In the evening, Miaoyu woke up quietly on the bed. The beauty now had a sweaty face, and strands of hair stuck to her temples, looking cold and haggard.

On this side of the room, Jia Heng also slowly came to the room, gently held the beauty's slender hand, and asked: "Miaoyu, are you awake?"

The beauty said softly, "Hmm", and her originally cold voice was slightly hoarse, and asked: "Where is my daughter?"

"Let the wet nurse feed you." Jia Heng held the beauty's soft and slender catkins and said warmly: "Get up first and let the cook feed you some preserved egg and lean meat porridge."

Miaoyu's brows and eyes were full of tranquility and brightness. She said "hmm" softly, and then sat down with Jia Heng's help.

The beauty is currently in confinement.

At this time, the nanny came from outside and handed over the jade bowl in her hand.

Jia Heng said: "I'll do it."

As he spoke, he reached out to take the jade bowl, picked up the spoon, scooped up the preserved egg and lean meat porridge, gently blew the steam in the bowl, and said in a warm voice: "Miaoyu, let me feed you."

Miaoyu gave a soft "hmm", then looked at the young man, picked up the spoon and scooped up the medicinal porridge, handed it to her pink lips, opened her mouth slightly, and drank the medicinal porridge at once.

Waves of sweetness surged in my heart.

In this way, Jia Heng fed Miaoyu the gruel one spoon at a time.

After finishing the meal, Jia Heng picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the porridge and rice grains from the corner of the beauty's mouth. He looked at the young man with rosy cheeks and felt a little inexplicable.

And Miaoyu felt the tenderness of the young man's gentle movements, and her bright eyes flashed, as if there were tears, reflecting the young man's clear shadow.

Jia Heng chuckled and said softly: "Miaoyu, our daughter hasn't decided on a name yet. You are extremely talented, so why not think of a name."

Miaoyu said: "I don't have anything suitable at the moment."

He asked softly: "Are you going to the north?"

"Yes, I can't accompany you during confinement now." Jia Heng said softly, with his eyes as warm as the rising sun, under his sharp eyebrows.

Miaoyu gave a soft "hmm" and said, "Just be busy with your business outside. I don't have anything to do here."

I don’t know if she has given birth to a child. Compared with the loneliness and coldness in the past, the beauty’s mentality is much calmer. This beauty stared at the young man, with traces of joy and joy in her eyes.

Not long ago, Miaoyu's father's injustice was vindicated, and now that he has a child, it can be said that his wish has come true.

Jia Heng, who was on the other side of the room, reached out and gently put his arm around Miao Yu's shoulders, and said softly: "Wait a minute, let's take a look at the child together."

Under Miaoyu's beautiful willow eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as full as water, and she said softly "Hmm".

After a while, the nanny held the infant girl in her arms. A smile gradually appeared on her plump face that still had charm, and she said: "Uncle, I just fed the baby. The little girl is sleeping soundly."

At this moment, Miaoyu also had the intention to look at the infant girl carefully. When she saw the small nose, small eyes, and especially the chubby face, she felt a joy of blood connection coming over her, and her heart couldn't help but surge up. Feeling inexplicably moved.

Jia Heng said: "Okay."

At this moment, Susu, the maid outside, walked quickly into the hall and said softly: "Miss Xing, are you here?"

Jia Heng looked at the beauty with warm eyes and said, "Xiuyan is here. Come sit here and acknowledge your daughter."

Xing Xiuyan's beautiful and beautiful cheeks suddenly blushed like clouds, and she came closer with graceful steps. Her girlish temperament was as pure as clouds, as light as smoke.

Xing Xiuyan said softly: "Brother Heng, let me come over to see Master Miaoyu."

After saying that, Yingying sat down, her eyes were condensed, she looked at Miaoyu beside her, and asked: "Master Miaoyu, how are you doing now?"

Under her curved willow-leaf slender eyebrows, Miaoyu's eyes were as full as water, and her voice was like flowing jade from a spring. She said, "I was a little tired earlier. I took a nap in the house and felt much better."

Jia Heng said warmly: "Susu, tell the cook to prepare some dinner."

Su Su softly said yes, then turned and left without saying a word.

Jia Heng said: "Xiuyan, I'm going to the north in a while. You should pay more attention to Miaoyu at home and talk to her."

Xing Xiuyan said "hmm" and said, "Brother Heng, I can do it."

……

……

In this way, after Jia Heng had a meal with Miaoyu and Xiuyan for a while, while talking, he left the Cuicui Temple where Miaoyu was.

Ningguo Mansion, front hall.

At this moment, Qin Keqing was wearing a blue dress, her snow-skinned face was as white as jade gradually, and her beautiful eyes were full of concern. She whispered: "Husband, you didn't accompany her before? "

Jia Heng said: "She just gave birth to a baby, so she needs to rest more and recuperate."

Qin Keqing nodded and asked again: "Ya Ruo has been in Qichiyuan these two days. I asked my husband why he hasn't come back yet."

Jia Heng's eyes moved slightly and he said softly: "I'll go take a look later."

It is true that she has been a little neglected these days. Compared with a young married woman like Feng Wan, a little girl is more worried about gains and losses.

Under Qin Keqing's slender eyebrows, her beautiful eyes rolled her eyes at the young man in the python suit, and said with a slight sneer: "Husband, there are more and more people around me now, and I can hardly take care of them anymore."

This is a subtle warning to Jia Heng not to take any more people into the family. This is really too much to take care of.

Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "Okay, I understand."

If they are tied together, they can still be taken care of.

After that, Jia Heng had another conversation with Qin Keqing, stopped lingering, left the backyard hall, and went to the Qichi Courtyard of the Grand View Garden to look for Yaruo.

At this moment, in Qichi Courtyard, it was evening, twilight was closing, and night was gradually falling, as if it had enveloped the entire earth.

In the side room, Zhen Lan was talking to Zhen Xi. At the moment, the two sisters were reading the newspaper and talking in low voices.

Zhen Lan's eyebrows were as bright as water, and she whispered: "This time, uncle and father should be able to come back from Beijing."

Under Zhen Xi's curved willow-leaf slender eyebrows, her bright and clear eyes flowed like a Yunling stream, and she said softly: "Yes, sister."

Under Zhen Lan's beautiful eyebrows, her eyes were filled with soft waves, and she said softly: "Sister, let's write a letter to home later and talk about the past two years."

At this point, she and her sister are no longer the daughters of convicts, and it will be easier to be named concubines in the future.

At this moment, Yaruo came in from the outside and sat down with a bit of sadness. Her plump and red mouth was slightly pouted, and her charming and charming face was as red as an apple.

I originally thought I could see Jia Heng every day when I came here, but I found that was not the case at all.

Zhen Lan smiled, looked at the girl who had her worries written on her face, and asked, "What's wrong with sister Ya Ruo? She looks gloomy again."

Yaruo frowned her pretty eyebrows with a hint of heroic spirit, and said softly: "I haven't seen Brother Heng for several days, and I don't know how he is doing."

The girl who was originally a heartless girl, after sleeping with Zhen Lan for a few days, has regarded this beautiful girl as her best friend.

Zhen Lan knew very well how important the Mongolian king behind Ya Ruo and the elite cavalry of Chahar Mongolia were to Jia Heng.

Zhen Lan's face that resembled Zhen Qing's was full of smile, and she said warmly: "Brother Heng usually likes to be busy outside, and sister Yaruo is like this even if she has passed the door. We may see each other in a few months." Not enough people.”

Ya Ruo pinched the handkerchief in her hand and wiped the beads of sweat flowing down her face, and said, "It'll be fine now that we're married."

Zhen Lan has something to say. There are several people who have gotten married, and it has only been a few years, so they are not getting better.

"It might be better if you get married." Zhen Xi continued.

After a while, I heard the maid outside say softly: "The uncle is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the young man in python suit crossing the threshold and said: "Lan'er, Xi'er... um." "Brother Heng." Immediately, Yaruo ran over and hugged Jia Heng's waist. The pink and pink face was almost full of joy, and he said, "Brother Heng, what have you been busy with these days? Why don't you go back to Qichiyuan?"

Jia Heng said: "I've been busy with the yamen these past two days, and sometimes I don't bother to come back. Why, I miss me again."

As he spoke, he smiled and reached out to pinch the girl's plump, bright face.

"Yes." Yaruo chuckled, with a charming and bright smile on his face.

Jia Heng gently took the girl's delicate hand, came closer, and sat down.

Zhen Lan smiled and said, "Brother Heng, would you like me and Sister Xi'er to step aside for a while?"

Jia Heng said: "Why are you avoiding me? I'll be leaving in a few days. I'll talk to you guys today."

Under Zhen Xi's slender willow eyebrows, her clear and bright eyes were as bright as water. She asked with concern: "Brother Heng, are you going to travel far?"

Jia Heng gently held the girl's delicate hand and said, "Yes, it will probably take a little longer this time, maybe a year and a half."

Not only Xuanda and Jizhen, but also the navy in Weihai, Shandong, should also be inspected.

Zhen Lan said: "Brother Heng, it's getting late, why don't you take a rest first."

Jia Heng nodded and was about to speak when he heard Ya Ruo's face turn as red as an apple and said softly: "Brother Heng, I will sleep with Brother Heng tonight..."

Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi: "???"

Jia Heng: "..."

Are all prairie women so direct?

However, I must have heard that he would not come back for a year and a half.

……

……

On the other side, in the evening, the sun sets in the west, and the afterglow of sunset falls on both sides of the rows of streets and alleys. The green bricks and black tiles on the houses are like a layer of gauze.

And a carriage with an indigo curtain cloth slowly drove across the bluestone road amidst the sound of rattling, raising a tall shadow.

Lu Li, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, left the Hanlin Academy by car and headed home. He had just sat down in the house, sipping the fragrant tea and thinking about the recent changes in the political situation.

With Han Huang, the chief minister of the Zhejiang Party's cabinet, resigning and leaving Beijing, today's Han Dynasty is more dominated by the Chu Party. The two parties in Qi and Zhejiang are dormant, and Jia Heng, representing the Jia Party, controls the military aircraft. Office and Beijing camp power.

Lu Li picked up the tea cup and sipped the fragrant tea, with a cold look in his eyes.

Even though the government was currently peaceful, he could still tell from some clues that the emperor was suspicious of Duke Wei.

Not to mention other things, just letting Li Zan, the Minister of War, join the cabinet, which is a clear sense of checks and balances.

"The emperor and his ministers are at odds, and his wife is suspicious of him. This is the opportunity to make things happen." Lu Li's eyes flashed.

This scholar Lu still can't forget how he was questioned by Jia Heng in front of the palace. As a result, his face was disgraced and his career was in ruins.

If he hadn't been transferred to the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor by chance, his career would have been almost ruined.

At this moment, the old servant walked in quickly, paused for a moment, raised his hands and said, "Sir, Master Diao Zhongxuandiao from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Master Zuo Wanglong Zuo from the Hanlin Academy are here."

These two were both Jinshi in the same year as Lu Li, and they were also Lu Li's recent friends. They usually had like-minded contacts.

Not long after they gathered together, a tall and thin middle-aged official with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a slightly fat middle-aged official strode into the hall and bowed to Lu Li.

Lu Li said: "I would also like to invite the two brothers to the study to talk."

Looking for yourself at this time must be a secret.

After a while, the three of them came to the study and sat down again. The servant offered them tea and bowed to leave.

Lu Li asked: "You two came to visit me, but you don't know why?"

Diao Zhongxuan lowered his voice and asked, "Scholar Lu, what do you think the current situation is like?"

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then looked at him aggressively and said in a clear voice: "The two vassals are fighting for the heir, and the Jia Party is strong, that's all."

Zuo Wanglong, the Imperial Lecturer, heard this and nodded, with endless joy on his face, and said, "What Bachelor Lu said is true."

Diao Zhongxuan's eyes moved slightly and he said in a clear voice: "Who does Academician Lu think the Sacred Heart belongs to?"

It can be said that seizing the direct descendant is the greatest investment and greatest reward.

Lu Li shook his head, his eyes flickering inexplicably, and said, "I can't say anything yet."

Diao Zhongxuan pondered for a moment and said, "Recently, Liao Xian, the chief minister of the Chu Palace, invited me and Brother Zuo to dinner. His intention to win over us was very obvious."

"King of Chu?" Lu Li murmured, and said loudly: "Though Chu Fan is a commoner, he is courteous and courteous, and has a good reputation early on. There are also many praises in the Hanlin Academy."

It is worth mentioning that King Chen Qin of Chu mainly had a good father-in-law Liu Zheng. In addition, just the day before yesterday, under the persuasion of Empress Dowager Feng, Emperor Chongping finally relented and issued an edict pardoning King Chen Qin of Chu. I admire my other father-in-law, Zhen Yingjia and his brothers from the Zhen family, so that they can return to Jinling to live in peace.

Lu Li shook his head and said: "There are some things that are too early to say now. For example, in the former Han Dynasty, the matter of Prince Liu Zhi was not unsolved."

Regardless of whether it was Wei or Chu, he didn't think much of him, so he assisted the eighth prince in the palace to ascend the throne.

Previously, Lu Li taught the Eighth Prince Chen Ze, and the two developed some master-disciple friendship.

Diao Zhongxuan was startled, his expression changed for a moment, and he asked, "How do you think Academician Lu should deal with it?"

Under Lu Li's sharp eyebrows, his eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a clear voice: "Watch the fire from the other side and wait for it to change."

Zuo Wanglong, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, thought for a while, lowered his voice and asked word by word: "Scholar Lu, who do you think can rule the world?"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after Emperor Chongping vomited blood and fainted twice, his dragon body must have been declining, but no one dared to spy on the holy bow at any specific stage.

Lu Li's eyes flashed brightly and he said coldly: "The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins. During the Zhenguan period, Prince Cheng Qian and Wei Wang Li Tai fought for the legitimate heir. What was the result?"

Zuo Wanglong and Diao Zhongxuan looked at each other and saw a hint of shock in each other's eyes.

No wonder……

Yes, Academician Lu is the eighth prince’s teacher, so it’s not surprising to say this.

"But now, there are no signs at all." At this moment, Zuo Wanglong looked at him with burning eyes and said.

"Don't be impatient. Just wait for the opportunity." Lu Li's eyes flashed under his sharp eyebrows and he said in a deep voice.

Diao and Zuo looked at each other and nodded.

……

……

Shengjing, Regent's Palace

It is the end of midsummer in July, almost August, and since Liaodong is in a high latitude area, the weather is bitterly cold, so the temperature does not seem cold. The original gold-lacquered paulownia and green dragon plaque of Prince Rui's Mansion has been in use for three months. The former was changed to the words "Prince Regent's Palace".

Dorgon was rarely at home at this moment, sitting on a huanghuali carved Taishi chair, picking up a book and looking down at it.

The book in his hand is the storybook of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Jia Heng.

As time passed, the good news from the Japanese country gradually became more and more. The elite of the Eight Banners were indeed the strongest elite in parallel time and space on the surface. They were basically invincible and the Japanese country could not resist them at all.

The regent was relieved at this moment.

"Your Majesty, Chen Yuan is here." The housekeeper of Dorgon's house said.

Dorgon frowned, thought for a while, and said in deep thought: "Let someone tell him to come in."

Since the failure of the Shandong White Lotus Cult bandits and the rebellion, Dorgon didn't have much good feelings towards the son of the former King of Zhao, who was gradually losing his use value.

However, I also know that it is much better to keep such a clan mine.

After a while, I saw a young man wearing black clothes coming quickly. It was Chen Yuan, the son of King Zhao.

The son of the former King of Zhao, who once caused trouble in the land of Qilu, looked quite haggard.

Then, Chen Yuan, the son of the former King of Zhao, followed the steward of Prince Rui's house and entered the hall. He cupped his hands towards Dorgon and said, "Chen Yuan has met the regent."

Dorgon nodded and said: "The King of Zhao is exempt from courtesy."

Chen Yuan said loudly: "Ashamed, Xiao Wang has nothing to do about the chaos in Shandong."

Dorgon said: "I don't blame King Zhao. Who would have thought that Duke Wei was so cunning that he flooded Yanzhou's capital city? Otherwise, we would have waited until the frontier fortress responded."

While the two were talking, they heard the steward of Dorgon's house quickly enter the hall and said: "Your Majesty, Kong Youde, the son of Shenggong Kong Yan, is boating across the sea to pay homage to your Majesty."

At this moment, the housekeeper of Dorgon's house quickly entered the hall and said to Dorgon.

Dorgon's face moved slightly and he said, "People from the Kong family are here? Please come over."

In this way, the protagonists of the Shandong Rebellion are now gathered together.

However, if someone from the Confucius family in Shandong comes over, maybe they can use the Confucian family's mouth to prove that the Qing Dynasty is the orthodoxy of China?

Perhaps, we can also use the words of Chen Yuan, the son of the former King of Zhao, to reveal how the Han Emperor stole the throne in the first place, so that the Han Emperor lost his legal authority.

After a while, a young man about twenty-six or seven years old came over. It was Kong Youde, the son of Kong Maojia.

Kong Youde walked a few steps quickly, knelt down with a pop, and said: "After the Holy Duke Kong Yan, Kong Youde met the regent of the Qing Dynasty. The prince is thousands of years old."

The main line is stuck. The new copy may need to be brewed for a while, so don’t wait for the second update.
