The Red Mansions

Chapter 612 Jinyang: Who is Yongningbo?

The next day, when the sky was just dawning and the dawn was slightly dewy, Jia Heng changed into a python suit and led the guards in brocade clothes, and left Luoyang City on a fast horse, heading for Tongguan.

On the Guangtong Canal from Shenjing to Luoyang, accompanied by the sound of "crashing" water flow, a tall and beautifully decorated blessing boat, escorted by seven or eight ships, headed for Tongguan.

Because the Ministry of Internal Affairs was escorting the 100 million taels of silver that the Ministry of Internal Affairs supported Henan, Princess Jinyang called the lucky boat from the car and boat company. In addition, there were thousands of elite soldiers escorted by five boats. At the end, they were escorted by heavy soldiers in case of any eventuality.

At this moment, Princess Jinyang is standing in front of the window of a boat room on the second floor, looking through the window at the sparkling river surface under the setting sun, her beautiful and gorgeous eyebrows are full of deep thought, and the golden sunset light shines through the window. Xuan Chuang shines on the beauty's graceful and white face, and the charming charm at the corners of the eyebrows and eyes is somewhat neutralized, making it soft and holy.

Not far away, next to a plan, there are thick soft mattresses and cushions on the embroidered pier. Li Chanyue, the princess of Qinghe, is sitting quietly. Holding a piano score, reading it intently, stretching out his hand from time to time to pluck the guzheng in front of him, occasionally making a "ding dong" sound.

The eldest princess of Jinyang turned her head, her gorgeous and unprovoked jade face felt helpless, and said: "If you want to play, play it, and poke it from time to time, it will make people upset."

"Mother." Li Chanyue heard the words, called out, quickly stopped her fingers, stared at Princess Jinyang, her pink lips twitched, and couldn't help saying: "Mother is upset, you can't blame me."

The eldest princess of Jinyang raised her brows slightly, her jade face covered with frost, her phoenix eyes flickered coldly, she stared at Li Chanyue, "Huh?"

Li Chanyue quickly lowered her head and said timidly: "Mother, it's my fault."

"If I had known, I wouldn't have brought you here, and I would have spoken back to me." Princess Jinyang looked at Li Chanyue, who was soft and weak, but she couldn't get too angry, and the frost on her face dissipated, and said angrily.

Li Chanyue got up and walked closer, hugged the eldest princess of Jinyang, Xiao He, who had just shown her sharp horns, leaned against the back of the eldest princess of Jinyang, and said softly: "Mother, it's my fault, I shouldn't provoke your mother angry."

Princess Jinyang Yurong was stunned, sighed faintly, and said: "It has nothing to do with you, the one who made my mother angry, there is someone else, wait a moment, Cousin Ni... I don't know if she can come here."

"Your Highness." At this moment, through a hanging bead curtain came a voice as gentle as water. Yuan Chun walked slowly into the cabin, stood on the carpet, and looked at the graceful beauty. Unable to hide his joy, he said: "Your Highness, the ship ahead is almost arriving at Tongguan. Just now, Feige from Jinyi Mansion sent a letter saying that Brother Heng has come to pick him up."

Princess Jinyang was overjoyed when she heard the words, she hurriedly turned around, and almost staggered the little princess who was hugging her back, and said whoops, but was touched.

Princess Jinyang was anxious, she turned around and looked at Li Chanyue who was rubbing Qiong's nose in her hand, and seeing that she was fine, she frowned and said, "What are you doing with your arms around me, are you okay?"

Li Chanyue looked at Princess Jinyang with grievances, and said in a low voice, "Mother... I, I'm fine."

Sure enough, when she heard that Mr. Jia was coming to pick him up, even she forgot.

Princess Jinyang pulled Li Chanyue over and saw that the girl was fine, so she looked at Yuan Chun, her plump and beautiful face smiled lightly, and said in a low voice: "I think he should be here too."

I don't know if he came to pick him up by himself, or brought Xianning with him, see Xianning later, hmph...

The little yellow-haired girl who hugged her naked butt when she was a child dares to rob her now.

Princess Jinyang said, calling Yuan Chun to sit on the embroidered pier beside the circle, and asked in surprise, "Where are your two younger sisters?"

That day I saw his sisters, two little girls, Tanchun and Xiangyun, as Chanyue said before, one is innocent and the other is beautiful and beautiful.

Yuan Chun said softly: "The two of them slept for a while at noon, and when they woke up, they stayed in the cabin to read and play. I'll call them over soon."

Princess Jinyang nodded, turned to look at Li Chanyue, and said with a smile: "Chanyue, don't stay alone, go play with the two of them, you little girls should have a lot to say together. "

Li Chanyue whispered: "Yes."

Then he led the maid to go.

After Li Chanyue left, Princess Jinyang looked up at Yuanchun and said, "When we get to Luoyang, let's go and see the peonies. The peonies are in full bloom at this time. There are several shops in this palace that are selling flowers and trees." business, and a garden, we can take a look together."

Yuan Chun lifted the teapot and poured a cup for the beauty opposite.

Princess Jinyang asked: "You haven't been to Luoyang since you followed him, right?"

Yuan Chunyu's cheeks were slightly red, her eyebrows were slightly drooping, and she said softly, "I haven't been here much."

In fact, she hadn't been with him for a long time, so she couldn't talk about wandering around. She entered the palace when she was very young, let alone went to play somewhere.

"While you are young, walk around more often. Some travel notes and proses of the predecessors recorded famous mountains and rivers, rivers and lakes. You can go for a walk when you have time. In fact, the old lady of your family has been to many places when she was young." Princess Jinyang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked softly at the beauty opposite.

Yuan Chun said softly: "When we get to Luoyang, if Brother Heng is not too busy, you can go for a walk."

The longer he stayed with this princess, the more he felt how lucky Brother Heng was to be favored by this noble daughter of the clan.

Go back and tell him that no matter what, you must treat Princess Jinyang well, and you can't let anyone down.

Well, you can't let her down either.

Princess Jinyang was silent for a moment, and suddenly said with emotion: "When you have a child, it will not be very convenient for you to come out later."

"Child?" Yuan Chun was thinking wildly, when he heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and his face turned red.

Princess Jinyang took Yuan Chun's hand and whispered in her ear: "Yuan Chun, I want to ask you something. At that time before you... was he outside or inside?"

Rao is beautiful with a broad mind and her voice is as soft as a mosquito, but her meaning is still very clear.

When Yuan Chun heard the words, surprise was first seen in his eyes, and after a while, when the pair of eyes that were as soft as water met each other, he realized that his face, like a stamen of a flower, was already red like blood, and he felt his delicate body go limp for a while, and groaned After a few words, he said in a low voice, "What is your Highness asking this for?"

So ashamed to say.

Looking at Yuan Chun, who was downcast and extremely shy, Princess Jinyang said in a low voice: "I think that you are only afraid that you will be pregnant in a year or so, so you have to have a big belly."

Yuan Chun's tender body trembled, and said softly, "Your Highness."

She has a big belly... There are pictures of what I said.

But my heart is just filled with bursts of sweetness.

It's just that my mother will probably go crazy with anger at that time, my mother has always had a heart for Brother Heng, if she sees her, she will stand up...

The eldest princess of Jinyang had a faint jade face, and said in a low voice: "Yuanchun, you said that every time he... But I didn't see any movement in my stomach. I thought that the Qin family seemed to have lived together for a while, and my stomach didn't feel hungry. Movement, let alone something wrong with his body?"

Yuan Chun frowned, first his face changed slightly, and he said softly: "Your Highness, brother Heng is not like him at ordinary times...he struggles every time...isn't it?"

Every time she tossed and tossed, her body was soft and tender, and she didn't look like there was anything wrong with her body.

Princess Jinyang frowned, and said in a low voice: "Yes, he is as strong as a bull. Ask him when you see him."

In fact, it is just as strong as an ox, because of being a human being in two lives, strength is good, and body fusion is still in progress. When the strength is completely fixed, it is considered to be full of energy and spirit.

Yuan Chun thought for a while, and said with relief: "You can't be in a hurry, besides, Your Highness is in a hurry to have a child?"

Princess Jinyang Yurong was in a daze, and said softly: "It's not urgent, even when I'm old, I want to raise a child. At least when I miss him, there is someone around me who can listen to me. In fact, raising children is quite interesting, when Chanyue was young, she was very cute and cute."

When he grows up, he is not so cute and cute, and starts to become mischievous and mischievous.

And she also needs to hold him back. With more and more people around him, will she still be able to take her to heart in the future?In another ten or twenty years, how about her old age?

Forget it, I can't think about it.

After all, this aristocratic daughter of the clan had seen how her father, Emperor Longzhi, had a group of concubines when he was young in the palace. In addition to the matter of Princess Xianning this time, it is inevitable that imaginations will arise.

Yuan Chun thought for a while and said, "That's right, if you don't have children, you're always missing something."

In other words, she also... gave birth to one?
……

……

But on the other side, Tanchun and Xiangyun are on the boat, looking at the scenery on both sides of the Guangtong Canal through the Xuan window, it is the end of spring, and in summer, the weather is completely warm, and the setting sun shines on both sides of the river, rolling and verdant The mountains, feel relaxed and happy.

"Third Sister, look at those two sides, and the other side." Xiangyun said, pointing to the scenery by the river, with a look of joy on his face.

Tanchun is currently holding a book and reading it intently. It is the story book of "Three Kingdoms" written by Jia Heng. In the past few days, he has been flipping through it when he is on the boat to relieve the boredom of the journey. It’s been a long journey, it’s been a long journey, aren’t you tired?”

No matter how fresh the scenery is, it will be a little tired after seeing too much.

At this time, Tanchun brought one of the two servant girls to serve as a servant, and was helping Tanchun fold the clothes in front of the bed, and said with a light smile, "Miss Yun is like a bird out of the cage, flying around, looking at it is fresh." .”

Xiangyun's big maid, Cui Ling, came from the hall in a green waistcoat with pinched teeth, holding a tray with two cups of tea in her hand, and said with a light smile, "Miss, have some tea, I've been shouting for a long time. , I guess I should be thirsty too."

Xiangyun gave a "hmm", took the teacup, took a sip, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, got up and came over from the window, came to Tanchun, chuckled and said, "This time I came out to play. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to find brother Heng to talk about military opportunities together."

"You... You peeked at my letter, and you dare to make fun of me." Tanchun put down the book, glared at Xiangyun, and said angrily.

"Third sister takes it out to read every day in her spare time. I glanced to the left yesterday and to the right today. Even if I don't want to read, I can see a sentence or two." Xiangyun laughed.

Tanchun snorted softly, and said in a low voice: "I don't know who has been arguing to wait until Luoyang for the past few days, and let brother Heng take her to ride a horse in the suburbs, thinking about it, talking in sleep at night."

Hearing this, Xiang Yun felt as if his heart had been exposed, his heart was shocked, Xia Fei's cheeks, brows and eyes were full of embarrassment, and he murmured: "Who... who is talking in sleep."

"Then who whispered in the dream last night, Brother Heng, ride slowly..." Tan Chun whispered in his ear, but there was suspicion on his face.

She hasn't figured out what these words mean these days?It's nothing to dream of riding a horse with Brother Heng, she also...

Xiang Yun was completely ashamed when he heard the words, his cheeks glowed like fire, and he said angrily: "What are you talking about? When did I... dream about this."

The following words became weaker and weaker, and she was already too ashamed, and she didn't know what dream she had yesterday, but she just felt ashamed when she remembered it.

The two of them shared the same bed along the way, often talking and laughing, and their friendship was closer than before.

In fact, whenever a man and a woman sleep together in the same bed, the friendship is much closer.

Tanchun took Xiangyun's hand, and said in a low voice, "Okay, none of us are allowed to make fun of anyone anymore."

Xiangyun let out a "huh", and it was clear that he "injured each other" just now. The thin-skinned Xiangyun really couldn't stand it.

Tanchun said: "Sister Yun is always in a hurry these days, and I don't know who she learned from?"

Xiangyun smiled, and suddenly said: "Of course I learned from Sister Lin."

Tanchun: "..."

And Daiyu became the source of happiness for the two at this moment.

"If Sister Lin was here, she would have to tear your mouth off." Tanchun said with a sneer, leaving aside what happened just now, and suddenly sighed: "The night before I left that day, Sister Lin came to the house. Li told me that he actually wanted to go to Henan and see the Luoyang peony, and he said that he had never been to Luoyang when he grew up so big."

With Gao Yuanhong's apple face on his face, Xiang Yun withdrew his smile slightly, and said softly: "Grandma won't agree, Sister Lin has been in Beijing for many years, but she can only stay at home to play, compared to me , she is like a bird in a cage."

Not only is she staying in Rongguo Mansion like a bird in a cage, but there is only Baoyu circling around in front of her eyes. In a world without Jia Heng, it would be hard to say, more like Baoyu's child bride-in-law.

"Miss Lin was fine before, and she was still on the way before going to the capital." Cui Ling took the teacup that the two girls had emptied at this time, and said softly.

Xiang Yun frowned, glanced at Cui Ling with big nimble eyes, and said softly: "That time I came from Yangzhou, and I didn't have the heart to see the scenery along the way."

Although the girl is sweet and naive, she is more sympathetic than anyone else. Back then, Daiyu was only in Beijing because of her mother's death, so she had no intention of playing.

The waiter folded the clothes in his hands and put them in the closet beside him. This brisk maidservant, who was told by Sister Feng that if there is a master, there must be a servant, she changed the topic softly and said, "Not only is Miss Lin envious, but the servants in the mansion Which of the maids in the house doesn't envy that we can go out for a walk this time, and this time, it's thanks to the eldest girl."

As a serving maid, she can also come out to see the world and visit Luoyang, the eastern capital, which naturally arouses the envy of the other maids.

But this time Tanchun came with Shi Shu and Cui Mo, and the maid beside Xiangyun was Cui Lu.

In Tan Chunying's beautiful eyebrows, the crystal clear eyes showed thought, and said in a low voice: "Sister Yun, where do you think Brother Heng is now?"

I can't help but think of that letter in my heart, and I will return triumphantly after the matter is over, and Xi Chuang will talk about military opportunities together.

Xiangyun's face rarely showed seriousness, and he said: "It should be rushed to Tongguan. I heard from that sister Lianxue earlier that Brother Heng sent Feige to pass on the letter, and they exchanged letters after half a day. carrying a message."

Tanchun said: "Then I think it's coming soon, Shishu, you go and have a look with Cuilu."

As soon as the two leave, the cabin will be empty.

Seeing that there was no one around, Tanchun leaned closer to Xiangyun's ear, Yingxiu's eyebrows and eyes were a little curious, and he lowered his voice and said, "Sister Yun, what do you think is the relationship between this eldest princess and Brother Heng?"

She was also quite curious about this matter, the noble eldest princess seemed to think highly of brother Heng.

"What's going on?" Xiang Yunxiu frowned, blinked, and said softly: "I heard that little princess often mentioned Brother Heng these two days."

Obviously, the girl is not only thinking about playing around, she doesn't pay attention to external affairs.

Tan Chunyingxiu frowned, and said in a low voice, "It's a little unusual. I was talking about the Three Kingdoms script with her, and she never left Mr. Jia."

Brother Heng has a sister-in-law, even if the princess came over, there would be no place for her in the mansion.

I don't know why, this is also the reason why I don't play around with the little princess these days.

Xiangyun's apple round face rarely saw serious thinking, after a while, he shook his head and said: "I don't know about it, but it's not something we worry about, let brother Heng worry about it."

At this moment, a curtain in the outer room was lifted, revealing a girl wearing a crimson bijar with an embroidered collar on a light purple gray background, a long light blue skirt, and a blue lotus-colored embroidered sweat scarf around her neck. It is Xiren.

Xiren laughed and said, "Miss San, Miss Yun, the little princess is here looking for you."

This time, Yuan Chun came out, and as a maid in Yuan Chun's house, Xi Ren volunteered to take care of Yuan Chun with Bao Qin.

Jia's mother also knew that Xiren was always considerate and considerate, so she specifically told Yuan Chun to take Xiren with her so that she could take care of Xiangyun and Tanchun.

After a while, Li Chanyue, the little princess, entered the cabin and looked at Tanchun and Xiangyun.

The two little girls got up from the bed one after another, looked at the girl opposite, and said politely: "I have seen the princess."

Li Chanyue smiled lightly, and said: "You two sisters, don't be too polite in private."

After all, she is the daughter of Wu Xun, who is in the same family as the country. Unlike ordinary people's homes, there are many people who get along intimately with the royal clan's daughter in private, without too many red tapes.

Li Chanyue sat down and said softly: "I'm going to Tongguan soon, Mr. Jia should come to pick me up later."

Tanchun nodded, his bright eyes twinkled, and he thought to himself, it was another little Mr. Jia.

After that, Xiangyun chatted with the little princess.

……

……

Time flies like water.

On this day, it was in the afternoon, the spring was sunny, the willows were soft, and a lucky boat on the Guangtong Canal was sailing along the river with the wind and waves.

And beside a ferry in front of Tongguan, dozens of riders lined up under an old poplar tree, with fresh clothes and angry horses, flying with flags and banners, looking into the distance.

Jia Heng sat upright on the horse, holding the reins with one hand, and set up a pergola under his eyebrows with the other to protect against the slightly harsh summer sun. Looking into the distance, he saw that the Liaokuo River was empty and there was no shadow of a boat.

Putting down your hands, looking away, thinking about how to explain to Jinyang later, or how to deal with it.

To be frank and lenient, or to resist and be strict?

Speaking of which, he was the one who took the initiative to let Princess Xianning accompany him, but now that he has all the li and zhi, he has to bear a large part of the responsibility.

Behind him a horse's head behind was Tongguan General Liu Fucun, looking at the young man respectfully, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Tongguan has cleared up the post house for imperial envoys to come and stay overnight."

In the official document issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs along the road, it only said that the imperial court was passing through the border, and did not mention Princess Jinyang.

Jia Heng paused, and said in a deep voice: "Business matters, the official ships in Beijing will not stop. I will escort the ships later, and go down the river until they reach Luoyang."

Liu Fucun also knew that the hospitality in Tongguan was too simple and shabby, so he didn't hesitate after hearing the words, and said with a smile: "Then the general will send the imperial envoy and the adults respectfully."

Jia Heng nodded and praised: "General Liu has a heart."

Liu Fucun laughed and said, "Your Excellency, you are at the end of your life."

"My lord, the fleet is coming." While the two of them were talking, Liu Jixian, who had climbed a height of three or five li before, led a few horses and swung their whips over from the embankment lined with elms and willows. said loudly.

Hearing this, Jia Heng closed his eyes again and looked at the river in front of him. His face was slightly startled, and he saw a few small black dots indistinctly at the end of his vast vision. After a while, they gradually enlarged, and it was clear that several boats were coming through the water. Overjoyed, he said to Liu Jixian who was on the side: "Go to raise the flag and signal the fleet."

Liu Jixian obeyed the order, then turned the horse's head, and with a sound of "drive", he urged the horse under his crotch, led a few guards in brocade clothes, and rode away towards the blessing boat.

At that time, Princess Jinyang was sitting alone in front of the window in the cabin of the blessing boat, looking at the album in her hand under the afternoon sun, a man and a woman could be vaguely seen by a ray of soft sunlight, lifelike.

This beauty couldn't put down the book, absorbing knowledge eagerly, as the saying goes, when the book is used, you will hate it.

At this moment, Lianxue called out through the bead curtain: "Your Highness, Uncle Yongning has arrived, and he is on the embankment right now."

Princess Jinyang was taken aback for a moment, then a thought flashed through her mind, who is Yongning Bo?
Perhaps it was because of certain meanings in Jia Heng's title that this beauty disliked, and deep down in her heart she had not yet established the reflexive connection between Yongning Bo and Jia Heng.

However, when Princess Jinyang came to her senses, she paused, and quickly closed the book in her hand, put it in a hidden place in the cabin, changed her face, and headed for the hall.

As soon as he came to the hall, he saw Yuan Chun approaching him from another corridor. With that plump, pink face, he was full of smiles, and his voice couldn't hide his excitement. He said, "Your Highness, he is here."

Princess Jinyang nodded her head, her face was calm, even covered with a layer of mist and frost, she said softly: "Just say that this palace is taking a nap and I don't have time to see him."

After speaking, without saying much, Yingying turned around and went back to the cabin.

Yuan Chun: "..."

After being stunned for a while, he came to his senses, this should be an attitude for Brother Heng.

"Big sister, brother Heng is here?" At this moment, Xiang Yun's voice pulled Yuan Chun back from a strange thought.

It is clear that Tanchun and Xiangyun in the other rooms also heard the news that Jia Heng came to greet them, and they also led the maids to leave the cabins and came to the hall of Fuchuan to greet them.

Not long after, a small boat was dispatched from the blessing boat, carrying Jia Heng.
