The Red Mansions

Chapter 712 Forming a party for personal gain is just a way to bring disaster
Yangzhou, Yanyuan yamen, in the back house
On a summer night, a gust of cool wind blows up the lanterns under the eaves of the verandah, dizzying a circle of orange light.

The light in the wing room is as bright as beans, because the two of them are sitting in the inner room, one side is covered by the bamboo forest and the flower wall, so there is no need to worry about the shadow being reflected on the window casement and being seen by others.

Under Dai Yu's smoldering eyebrows, her star pupils were rippling, and her jade face was slightly flushed, reflecting the soft light, she was almost like a jade tree, and said softly: "Brother Heng, Daddy, why don't you hide it from him first?" ?”

Although the girl lacked some nuns and nuns since she was a child, she also knew that the intimacy just now was beyond the rules of etiquette, and it was something that only husband and wife could do.

"Sister, when the time is right, I will tell my uncle. Don't worry, sister. For the past three or two years, I will play carefree with a few younger sisters in the garden. When Yangzhou is over, the garden in the capital will It should be fixed too." Jia Heng pulled Daiyu's plain hand and said in a warm voice.

Compared with Baochai, Daiyu's time can be put back a lot, so don't rush to make promises, otherwise, she will be suspected of being a scumbag.

Daiyu leaned her hair like a waterfall of blue silk on Jia Heng's shoulder, said "um", her starry eyes lowered slightly, she didn't say much, she just felt a sense of peace in her heart.

She actually wanted to ask about Sister Bao and the princess, but she had just made up her mind, so it was hard to ask, so she would look for opportunities to ask in the future.

Humph……

Jia Heng gently stroked Daiyu's shaved shoulders, and said: "Okay, sister, let's play chess, don't let it take too long, it won't be good for people to see."

In fact, I couldn't hide it from the maid at all, but even if Zijuan and Xiren knew about it, they would keep their mouths shut. As for Yuanyang, she was a girl who was smarter than anyone else.

Afterwards, Jia Heng and Dai Yu started to play chess across a chessboard, calling Zijuan and Xueyan to serve tea.

A group of maidservants served the two of them fragrant tea and listened to Jia Heng telling stories.

When Jia Heng returned to the wing, Yuanyang followed Jia Heng slowly, carrying a lantern, all the way back to the wing.

Jia Heng ordered Qingwen to fetch hot water to wash her feet, and then went to change clothes.

Yuanyang approached, and while changing Jia Heng's clothes, he said softly: "Uncle and Miss Lin, what are your plans for returning to Beijing in the future?"

Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, turned around, stared at the smiling girl with a duck face, and asked, "Yuanyang, how do you talk about this?"

Yuanyang saw some clues, he didn't think it was strange, she was a very smart girl, from Shenjing to Yangzhou, and Daiyu's actions just now, one can more or less guess that he and Daiyu have some amorous feelings month thinking.

"The old lady originally wanted Miss Lin and Master Bao to kiss each other. After the uncle returned to Shenjing, I don't know what to do." Yuanyang approached and untied Jia Heng's outer clothes. It turned out to be a tall and slender girl. , approaching at this moment, the voice is delicate and kind, and for a moment it is somewhat normal between husband and wife.

Jia Heng frowned and said, "Bao Yu is not suitable, besides, sister Lin's marriage should be decided by my uncle."

Yuanyang put the brocade robe aside, and said softly: "Ms. Lin is no better than others after all, and Ms. Lin is not the same as us. My uncle will pay more attention in the future."

Jia Heng looked up at the mandarin duck, said, looked at the mandarin duck with a half-smile, embraced the mandarin duck, and said in a low voice: "Why, are you jealous?"

"If I'm jealous, I've fallen into the vinegar vat. I'm full if I'm jealous every day." Yuanyang gave Jia Heng a white look, joked, and said softly: "I'm telling you, Miss Lin is like a fairy. Character, uncle treats her well in the future, and usually spends more time with her, she is a wild thinker when things happen, so seeing him once every ten and a half months like usual, it's not good."

Thinking that the You sisters were waiting eagerly in the mansion, but the man behind them was unmoved, but just took Miss Lin south, and it didn't take long before they fell in love and got tired of being together.

Although Daiyu has already been instructed by Jia Heng, but in front of all the maids, the consciousness of avoiding taboos is weaker after all, such as Xiren and Yuanyang are shrewd people with empty eyelashes. Just now I heard Jia Heng speak the script , Looking at the drawing eyes between the occasional stares, I was suspicious.

Especially the mandarin ducks, who shared the bed with Jia Heng a few times, gained a lot of understanding.

Jia Heng gently grabbed the mandarin duck, and said in a warm voice: "I know that sister Lin needs a lot of company, but she is still sensible."

Daiyu was a bit clingy, he could clearly feel it just now, but being clingy doesn't mean she's ignorant.

At this time, Qingwen came over with a copper basin filled with warm water, and when she saw the two, she pursed her pink lips even higher, and said, "Master, wash your feet."

Jia Heng looked at Qingwen, and couldn't help laughing at herself.

Qing is Daiying, and Qingwen, whose temperament has changed a lot, sometimes uses petty sex to attract his attention, let alone Daiyu?

Crying kids get lollipops.

No more words for one night.

The next day, early in the morning, Jia Heng went to the Jiangbei Camp under the retinue of the Jinyi Mansion and continued to inspect the soldiers and horses of the Jiangbei Camp. He found out the basic situation of the soldiers in each battalion and registered them again. Still did not deal with any officers and soldiers, nor did they mention the matter of eating empty slots, as if they did not blame the past.

At noon, Jia Heng returned home. Just as he entered the courtyard, he was taken aback when he heard that the concubine of Chu, Zhen Qing, and Wang Zhenxue of Beijing had come with their children.

After that, when I entered the inner hall of the back house, I saw a beautiful woman in a red long dress with wide sleeves, a moth bun like a cloud, and a golden-winged phoenix hairpin on her head. At this moment, she was sitting pretty on the pear flower chair, chatting and laughing with Daiyu and Lin Ruhai's concubine, Mrs. Zhou.

With the sound of laughter, the crystal earrings on the beauty's earlobe swayed gently.

And on the pear flower wood chair under Zhen Qing's head, there is a woman wearing a white embroidered red plum skirt, like a beauty with snowy red plums above the vast mist, with a moth like a cloud and a face as crystal as snow On her face, there was a slight smile, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyelashes trembled with her curved eyelashes, exuding a charming and graceful charm.

Zhen Qing looked at the girl in the green dress, she was also secretly amazed, she smiled and said: "Miss Lin is really spotless, like a fairy coming to the world."

"Princess is too famous." Daiyu said with some embarrassment, raised her shining starry eyes, and looked at the beautiful woman who was facing the jewels and smiles, but she didn't feel strange.

Because when they were in Shenjing, Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue often took their children to Ningrong Second Mansion, and then on the boat along the way, Shui Xin, who recognized Jia Heng as his godfather, also often came on board, and Daiyu couldn't hold her in her arms. Less time little loli.

"Miss, the uncle is back." At this moment, a nun came in and said to Daiyu.

At this time, everyone followed the prestige and saw the young man in the python suit walking in with his head held high. He looked at Princess Chu Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue who were sitting in the flower hall, and asked, "Didn't the two princesses go to Jinling earlier?"

Zhen Qing smiled, pulled Shui Xin over, and said softly, "It's not that Xin Xin misses you. She insisted on meeting you before leaving, so she brought her over to have a look. I just heard Miss Lin say, Are you going to Jinling in two days?"

At this time, Shui Xin ran up to Jia Heng, stretched out her white lotus arms, her pink pretty face was full of joy and smiles, and called: "Godfather."

Jia Heng knelt down, hugged Shui Xin, kissed little Lolita's cheek, and said with a smile, "Xin Xin, do you want to be a godfather?"

"Think about it, why didn't godfather come to play with me?" Shui Xin giggled coquettishly, said in a waxy voice, and kissed the boy's cheek.

Jia Heng hugged Shui Xin and sat on the chair, said with a smile: "Godfather has been busy these two days, so he didn't take care of it."

Xin Dao, maybe I should buy a property in Yangzhou, otherwise it would be inconvenient to always live in the back of the Yanyuan.

In fact, Lin Ruhai still has several houses in Yangzhou, and he can choose to live in them at that time.

Seeing the "father and daughter" talking intimately, Zhen Xue looked at the young man with eyes full of water under her willow eyebrows, and said softly: "Xinxin has been saying for the past few days that she still wants to hear the story told by her godfather. Noisy and clamoring for me to bring her over."

Jia Heng nodded, teased Shui Xin, smiled, and said, "Does Xin Xin want to hear the story so much?"

Shui Xin smiled lightly and said, "Godfather told me a story, and he also told the story about the princess and the seven dwarfs."

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Isn't that story over?"

"Let's say it again, I forgot." Shui Xin's pink face saw a smile, and said softly: "After you finish speaking, you can tell me one more time."

Jia Heng pinched Shui Xin's cheeks and said, "After dinner, Daddy will tell you a story about Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf."

Seeing the freshman talking, Zhen Qing smiled and said, "Since Brother Heng is going to Jinling, why not go there together?"

When going to Jinling, it is inevitable to visit the old lady Zhen of the Zhen family in Jinling.

Jia Heng said noncommittally: "I still need to tidy up here, I can't leave immediately, the princess is here, is there something else?"

When Zhen Qing heard this, an inexplicable look flashed across her beautiful eyes painted with rose-red eyeshadow, and she said softly: "Actually, there is something I need to bother Brother Heng, I don't know if it's convenient for Brother Heng right now?"

Jia Heng smiled, doubts arose in his heart, and he said softly: "If you have anything to say, you may as well speak up."

She faintly guessed that Zhen Qing's reason for coming was probably not for such a trivial matter, no matter how strong her desire was, she wouldn't be confused about the seriousness.

"This isn't Fourth Uncle Shui. He wants me to ask Brother Heng what he means?" Zhen Qing smiled lightly with bright eyes under her willow eyebrows, and there was a hint of anticipation on that gorgeous face.

In fact, he wanted to ask about the treatment of Jiangbei Daying and some past generals and schools, and Jia Heng had the absolute right to speak together.

The smile on Jia Heng's face faded at the right time, and he looked at Zhen Qing aggressively, and asked: "This matter is related to military affairs, why does the princess ask about this?"

Seeing Jia Heng's business-like appearance, Zhen Qing's expression was a little unnatural, she forced herself to smile and said: "Aren't these all old relatives, so I want to ask Brother Heng to ask about the situation."

Li Xin kept cursing inwardly, and looked at her with anti-thief eyes, what was she doing?
Jia Heng pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "This matter is related to the military affairs of Jiangnan and Jiangbei. Let's talk about it later in the study."

When Zhen Qing heard this, Yurong changed slightly, and her heart turned from anger to joy.

Seeing that the two were about to talk about serious matters, Daiyu's starry eyes twinkled, and she said softly, "Xinxin, come here and let my aunt give you a hug."

"Aunt Lin." Shui Xin came closer, trotted over, and let Daiyu hug her and talk intimately.

In fact, Shui Xin's powder carving jade is really a bit like Daiyu's appearance when she was a child. Daiyu is also very nervous when she sees little loli.

Several people exchanged pleasantries for a while, Daiyu knew that Jia Heng and the two princesses had serious business to discuss, so she asked the maid and the nanny to take Shui Xin and Zhen Qing's son Chen Chun to play in the back garden.

And Jia Heng led Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue to the courtyard where they lived, and came to a reception room. After Qingwen served fragrant tea to Zhen's two concubines, she glanced at the two concubines and left.

And Zhen Qing also asked the personal female officer to lead the surrounding nuns and maidservants to withdraw slowly, because Zhen Xue was still around, so no one believed her.

If Zhen Qing is alone with Jia Heng, she can still have romantic associations, but in the eyes of ordinary people, how is it possible when the two concubines are there?

Jia Heng put the official hat with the word "Wingless Mountain" aside, and looked up at Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue. When his eyes fell on Zhen Xue's face, seeing the shy and drooping eyes, his eyes couldn't help but softened a little. He asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Zhen Qing looked at the indifferent young man, sneered, and said, "It seems that you don't welcome me and my sister."

Jia Heng stared at Zhen Xue who was twisting her handkerchief. Even though the two had kissed skin to skin many times, this Princess of Beijing always looked weak and delicate, as if he was forcing her every time.

It should not be the white lotus, but just such a temperament.

"You're just not welcome, are you, Cher?"

Zhen Qing: "???"

Not welcome her?How is she inferior to her sister?
Zhen Xue: "..."

Zhen Xue licked the powder to moisten her lips, her gorgeous cheeks blushed into a glow, her beautiful eyes full of water raised her eyes, and she took a peek at the boy with affection.

Why are you calling Xueer again?

Sometimes, when Jia Heng looked at Zhen Xue differently, it was hard not to let Li Xin feel a surge of joy, this was actually a special treatment, and at the same time Zhen Qing couldn't help being annoyed.

Jia Heng picked up the teacup, took a sip, looked at Zhen Qing, who had a cold face, and her frown and smile became more and more seductive, and said softly: "After I arrived in Yangzhou, I don't know how many people stared at me. You come to visit like this. I'm afraid that others will not know that you and I have a romantic relationship."

In fact, there is no need to worry about it, because the Zhen family and the Jia family are old relatives. Now that he is on the ground in Yangzhou, Princess Chu Zhen Qing came to invite him to the Zhen family.

Zhen Qing also suppressed the negative emotions in her heart at the moment, staring at the young man with her phoenix eyes, and asked, "I came here to find you for business. You are in Jiangbei Camp, how did you arrange for Fourth Uncle Shui?"

Jia Heng got up from his seat, approached so close, looked condescendingly at Zhen Qing, and said, "Princess Chu, your hand is too long."

When Zhen Qing heard this, her jade face suddenly changed, she snorted coldly, her beautiful eyes showed anger, and this man spoke sarcasticly to her again!

Under Zhen Xuechun's dark eyebrows, her dewy eyes narrowed, and she said softly: "Ziyu, my sister is just out of kindness, helping fourth uncle with inquiries, and has no other intentions. If it involves military affairs, Ziyu won't say anything. That's it."

Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the beautiful woman with a peaceful face, and came close, took Zhen Xue's plain hand, and said in a warm voice: "It's my Xue'er who understands righteousness."

Zhen Xue: "..."

She lowered her head, her jade-like cheeks were as red as a cloud of clouds, she gently pushed and refused Jia Heng's obsession, and said in a low voice: "Zi Yu, don't, don't do this."

My sister has always been strong, this will irritate my sister.

Zhen Qing's complexion is frosty, her eyes are a bit dim, stepping on her, this bastard did it on purpose!

Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing, whose face was cloudy and uncertain, but softened his tone, took Zhen Qing's hand again, and said in a low voice: "These are imperial military secrets, why are you asking this?"

"Don't touch me!" Zhen Qing gave Jia Heng a cold look, and struggled to break away from Jia Heng's hand, but she didn't move, she could only let Jia Heng hold the slender catkin.

Jia Heng turned his eyes to look at that seductive and charming face, and said in a low voice: "You just want to sell Shuiyu as a favor to show your ability, but this person is not capable, and has delayed the Jiangbei Camp all these years. Quite a lot, if I don't intervene in the rectification, what do you think will happen if he helps you with his stinky fish and rotten shrimps?"

"Cooperating with this big man, you are the only one in the world who can do it alone, and everyone else is just a bag of wine and rice?" Zhen Qing sneered and said sarcastically.

Jia Heng said: "Even if it's not a wine bag, it's a foolish and incompetent person! Does the princess know how many soldiers and horses there are in the Jiangbei camp? The country has a quota of [-], and now there are only one-third of the soldiers and horses, and they are unbearable. If you use a net to serve as a member of your party, you will not be able to resist the imperial court's Beijing camp army if you plan to do anything wrong."

As she spoke, she gently moved Zhen Qing into her arms, only to feel a scent like orchid and musk deer coming out of her nostrils, she put her ears on the earlobe with the crystal earrings, and said in a low voice: "Princess, don't waste your efforts in vain." gone."

"Then since you are so capable, you can help me." Seeing that bastard still obsessed with her, Zhen Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Gently opened Jia Heng's hand that kept chasing monsters, and said in a cold voice.

"Aren't I just helping you now?" Jia Heng stretched out his hands and pinched the beauty's endlessly tender cheeks, and said, in the eyes of the beauty's anger, he leaned over his shoulders and held the two petals of roses.

Zhen Qing snorted softly, raised her fist and beat Jia Heng for a moment, struggled and pushed back a few times, and quickly climbed onto Jia Heng's shoulders, and responded enthusiastically, her delicate body gradually softened like water, and after a while, roses rose on her melon-seeded face The red air is dense.

Immediately, Xueyan was as beautiful as blood, Tankou was gasping for breath, and a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes looked at the boy angrily.

This is how she asked him to help?
Jia Heng said in a low voice: "I told you last time that forming a party for personal gain is just a way to bring disaster."

Zhen Qing said angrily: "What did you say is not a way to bring disaster? Since you are so capable, why don't you help me."

Jia Heng looked at the cold and seductive beauty with Liu Mei's evil eyebrows, and said softly: "I still say the same thing, sometimes there must be something in life, and there is always time in life, don't force it."

"If it was according to fate, you are still working as a pawn in the wicker alley, how can you be a high-ranking official and rich salary today? You don't believe in fate yourself, so why should you let me believe in fate?" Zhen Qing said quietly with a frosty complexion. .

Jia Heng looked at the gorgeous and seductive jade face, and said with a light smile: "Can you compare with me? Besides, I planned for the affairs of the country, and today's achievements came with one knife and one gun. What about you? You are here for your own selfish desires. Conspiracy, I like to daydream and play clumsy tricks all day long, don't you really think that you can get what you want by relying on those shady methods? What are you thinking? Stupid woman!"

As she spoke, she gently lifted the chin of the young woman Huaxin, which was as clean as jade, and her hands felt delicate and smooth, and her rouge-like lips were slightly pursed.

And that face has clear lines, under the thin eyebrows, the narrow and long phoenix eyes are sharp and cold, because of anger, there are even some vicious charms of bad women, and the moist lips are like peach blossoms in February, red and lustful drop.

Zhen Qing was furious at Jia Heng's words, and reprimanded in a low voice: "You...you bastard."

However, at this moment, the shadows approached, and they were printed again and again, like a violent storm.

After a while, Zhen Qing breathed lightly, gritted her teeth, and threatened: "If you don't help me, when I fail and go to prison, I will definitely take you with me!"

Jia Heng's face was calm, looking at the cold and seductive melon-seeded face, he said slowly: "At that time, I promise you won't drag me down, but I still don't want you to fall to that point."

Zhen Qing: "..."

The beauty was silent, her heart trembled slightly, and there was an inexplicable sweetness that made her panic. Immediately, meeting the young man's gaze fixed on her, panic flashed in the sharp phoenix eyes of the young woman Huaxin, and she dodged away , Some dare not look at each other.

He's not... He just wants to take advantage of her all the time!

"Okay, it's hard to come here, and I can't let you go back without success." Jia Heng pulled Zhen Qing over, let her sit in her arms, lifted her skirt and rubbed, it seems that to some extent, it proved Zhen Qing what's on your mind.

Zhen Xue looked at the two people who were passionately in love, twisted her handkerchief, an indescribable strangeness surged in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Sister, don't talk about this, if you talk about it, you will start arguing."

"It's him who insisted on throwing cold water on me." Zhen Qing said angrily with a shameful expression, her long and narrow phoenix eyes charming and rippling.

Did she just get into an argument with this bastard?Well, it seems that there is going to be an argument.

Jia Heng put his arms around Zhen Qing's waist, his steady voice trembled a little, and said in a deep voice: "I told you last time, but you didn't listen, like the king of Chu is down-to-earth, and he does his duty. There is a glimmer of chance, and now the Holy Majesty is undecided, all the kings have a chance."

Zhen Qing's delicate body trembled slightly, she snorted softly, and didn't say much.

Zhen Xue saw the scene of helping the case and narrating, and said in a low voice: "Zi Yu, it's a bit dangerous."

Although no one came here at the moment, it was not too safe after all.

Zhen Qing also felt that it was a little dangerous, but while her heart was pounding, there was an unspeakable throbbing in her heart, and she said in a trembling voice: "Sister, go and watch the wind."

Zhen Xue: "???"

Jia Heng supported Zhen Qing's waist, and asked with his ear: "Zhen Qing, let me ask you, where does Liu Shengzao's salt profit balance go every year? How much is the Zhen family divided, and how much is sent to the palace? "

Zhen Qing snorted and said in a trembling voice: "How do I know this? Besides, even if I know, I won't tell you, huh? You...you bastard!"

It was clear that Mopan was hit, which immediately caused Zhen Qing to swear in a low voice, but under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water, she bit her cherry lips with her white teeth, and let the young man entangle her to death.

Jia Heng said: "Zhen Qing, how much money the Zhen family got from the salt business in the past, your Zhen family has to make up for this vacancy no matter what."

Zhen Qingxiu frowned, and let out a grunt. Her clear phoenix eyes showed an expression of anger, but she was obviously enduring, and she didn't speak. The crystal earrings shook violently.

Seeing this scene, Zhen Xue felt flushed and felt extremely shy, so she just got out of the room and stood by the bead curtain, feeling uneasy.

While fearing that someone would come in and find out, while listening to what the two of them were talking, I felt my heart was shaking and I couldn't hold myself back.
