The Red Mansions

Chapter 721 Zhen Xue: No, that...has she heard it?
In the wing-

Afternoon sunlight came in through the evening window, shining on the golden hook on the curtain, reflecting the crystal light, the two people sitting hugging each other, their ears and temples rubbing each other, their hearts were connected, and there was almost no barrier between them.

Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the jade face of the lotus, it was so beautiful that it was like a beautiful woman lying limp in his arms, and he also had some inexplicable emotions in his heart.

The so-called long-term love is the relationship between people. Even if a cat and dog have been together for a long time, they have some feelings.

At this moment, Zhen Qing's lush hair brushed across Jia Heng's face, and Jia Heng held a handkerchief to wipe the bean-sized sweat between her temples, and asked, "Zhen Qing, how old are you?"

Zhen Qing's face was rosy at the moment, her phoenix eyes opened slightly, and she asked with embarrassment and anger, "Ask me what? Do you think I'm old, you bastard?"

It's ridiculous to say that although the two often get tired of being together, Jia Heng never asked about Zhen Qing's other situations, or she didn't care much about it.

Jia Heng gently brushed Zhen Qing's hair that was hanging down her ears behind her ears, gently stroked her glowing face, and said in a low voice: "The princess is young, beautiful, and beautiful, how about it?" Will be old?"

Zhen Qing felt the caresses coming from her cheeks, and her heart flashed with unease, as if this was the first time the boy in front of her said that she had a good color. Under her beautiful eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she snorted coldly: " I'm 24 this year, so I'm a few years older than you."

At this time, women marry earlier.

Zhen Xue sat by the bead curtain, took a peek at the two of them, feeling uneasy, these two...why are they still talking?

Jia Heng said softly: "Zhen Qing, in fact, being a queen is very tiring. There are so many things in the Sixth Palace, and it's only a good time during the ceremony. It may not be as comfortable and happy as the princess now."

Zhen Qing: "..."

Jia Ziyu, are you overconfident?Although you are not bad... but you can't give those golden words, life and death.

"Then what are you working so hard for? Why don't you marry a beautiful wife and beautiful concubine and become a rich man? Why did you come to Yangzhou to rectify the salt affairs not long after you came back from Henan? Not long after, he was assassinated by Donglu, what was the purpose of all this? Isn’t it for fame and fortune? For glory and wealth? To stand above others? How dare you criticize me?” Zhen Qing cast a cold glance at Jia Heng, He said softly: "Jia Ziyu, there is no difference between you and me, you and I are the same kind of people, the generation of wolves and ambitions."

She has long seen that this person is not obsessed with power?She and her are a match made in heaven, thinking of this, Zhen Qingfang's heart skipped a beat, and she felt an unspeakable feeling in her heart.

Jia Heng said coldly: "How could I be like you? I was born and died, and I worked hard, just to keep the people I care about from being hurt. In order to repay the kindness of the Holy One, you are only for yourself. You plot against your sister. You have dragged the Zhen family into a dead end, and you have used the money donated by the Zhen family to buy the generals of the Beijing camp, the military officers of the local capital's guards, the servants in the palace, and even the king of Chu... it is just your bargaining chip."

This was a conversation that touched the soul, every sentence pierced into the heart, making Zhen Qing grit her teeth and stare at her with anger.

Zhen Qing's jade face was dizzy, like flowers and trees piled up with snow, her heart trembled slightly, and she looked at the young man opposite in a daze, only to hear Jia Heng mention the King of Chu again, biting Jia Heng's neck angrily, like a tigress with a cub in its mouth , but without exerting any force, trembling slightly: "You bastard, you have to mention... that person."

Jia Heng's heart skipped a beat, almost unbearable.

This Zhen Qing, is that person?Well, maybe a slip of the tongue too.

"The bribery you mentioned just now, let me tell you, I have never done it." Zhen Qing said angrily.

These are all taboo things, even if she did it, she couldn't admit it, and backhanded this person stabbed her father.

Zhen Xue, who was on the side, frowned as she listened to the conversation between the two, deeply convinced that since her sister became a princess, her desires had become more and more difficult to fill these years, so it would be good if Ziyu could teach her.

Jia Heng thought for a while, then said softly: "You can do it if you dare to admit it."

As he spoke, he stroked Zhen Qing's shoulder lightly, and asked, "Speaking seriously, as far as I know, your second uncle Zhen Shao and fourth uncle Zhen Zhu are both generals in the Jiangnan camp. Jiangnan Daying uses boats and sailors to clean up the pirates along the coast of Jiangnan Province, and even if the court inquires about crimes in the future, the palace will punish them lightly."

Actually, Zhen Qing wanted to use him, so why didn't he want to use Zhen Qing?

Zhen Yingjia was a favorite during the Longzhi period, and his younger brother Zhen Shao was one of the six guards of the Jiangnan camp, the commander of the Feixiong guards, a military officer of the second rank, commanding thousands of troops, and could be used as a springboard to contact the Jiangnan camp. And the fourth uncle Zhen Zhu is the same adjutant and general of Zhenhai Weiwei, and assists in managing a navy.

Of course, it is certain that the Zhen family was raided. It can even be said that the Zhen family was the beginning of the emperor's rectification of the Jiangnan officialdom. Without the Zhen family, there would be no rectification of the Jiangnan officialdom. But before that, the Zhen family must be stabilized first.

Hearing this, Zhen Qing's jade face was flabbergasted, her heart was overjoyed, her lustrous rose lips were pursed, and under her beautiful eyebrows, she looked at the boy with a pair of clear eyes, and asked, "Would you like to help me?" Are you following me?"

Jia Heng took the handkerchief, gently wiped the beads of sweat from Zhen Qing's cheeks, looked at the charming phoenix eyes, and said softly: "It's hard work even seeing you on a hot day."

Zhen Qing: "..."

Under the beautiful eyebrows, the beautiful eyes looked at the young man angrily, and at some point, the voice was a little soft and greasy, and said: "My second uncle and fourth uncle are both generals in the Jiangnan camp, can they be transferred to the Beijing camp? ?”

"It's not transferred to the Beijing camp, but to help me reorganize the soldiers and horses of the Jiangnan camp and rebuild the navy. Doesn't your fourth uncle have a navy under his command?" Jia Heng said softly.

In addition to setting up guards in the various prefectures of Jiangnan Province, Chen Han also set up troops in the Jiangnan camp. There are six battalions of guards.

His move is to further strip the connection between Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps and Jiangnan officialdom.

In other words, no matter whether the emperor will rectify the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River in the future, or introduce a new deal, if there is resistance, at least the two camps will still listen to the court's greetings.

Before leaving Beijing, the emperor specifically explained it, but he also said that there is no need to force it, or that he did not expect him to do so many things next time in the south. Bing, it's not too late.

Zhen Qingfang was overjoyed, her phoenix eyes sparkled and her eyes lit up.If he has meritorious service, or is appointed by him, even if his father settles accounts in the future, he will think about it a little more, and will not drive the Zhen family to extinction. Not to mention, she has also seen this man's pacification strategy, and the navy is also very useful Yes, although you can't go to the Beijing camp, the navy is better than safety.

His heart was moved, but he looked at Jia Heng angrily and said, "You man, I begged you just now, but you just didn't say anything."

Jia Heng said: "I didn't tell you just now, I just don't like that kind of transaction."

Zhen Qing: "..."

Fang's heart trembled slightly, and she looked at the young man's face with clear eyes, her jade face was slightly stagnant, she was silent for a while, and she didn't know what it was like in her heart.

But after a while, I couldn't stop cursing from the bottom of my heart, this bastard didn't even talk about stealing incense and jade, but also wanted to steal her heart, so she wouldn't be fooled.

It wasn't because she was comfortable serving him that she helped him think of a way.

Jia Heng said: "Zhen Qing, regardless of whether you will be the King of Chu Yuji or not in the future, state affairs are above all family affairs, and the public should not be abolished for personal reasons."

Zhen Qing snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice, "It's magnificent."

As the beauty spoke, she leaned her head on Jia Heng's shoulder, feeling a little lost in her heart for some reason.

She wasn't all for herself. When she became a queen, she would make good use of this person to rule the country.

After a while, Jia Heng whispered in his ear: "Okay, wait a while, and you also look out for your sister."

Zhen Qing frowned, she had to get up, took a pink handkerchief and wiped it, dragged her soft body, looked at Zhen Xue with moist and slightly phoenix eyes, and said softly: "Sister, Let's talk to Ziyu in the past."

Zhen Xue's cheeks were bright red, and she didn't want to go there, but the embroidered shoes under her skirt seemed uncontrollable, and she entered the room through the bead curtain.

Jia Heng raised her eyes to look at the beauty in the sky-blue palace gown, pulled Zhen Xue over, sat in her arms, and asked softly, "Xue Er, are you feeling better today?"

In fact, Zhen Xue was not that kind of thing last time, but was too timid, worried that the lingering time would be too long, which would arouse suspicion.

Zhen Xue turned her head to the side, and said shyly, "Ziyu, I'm fine, so don't you, don't toss too much for too long, it's too dangerous."

If people saw it, she wouldn't have to live anymore.

Jia Heng hugged Zhen Xue lightly, leaned close to the glittering and shining earrings, and said in a low voice, "It depends on Xueer's ability."

Zhen Xue: "..."

There were circles and ripples in the lake of Li's heart, and there was a little anger between the gentle eyebrows, and she said: "Zi Yu, you have been spoiled by my sister."

Zhen Qing: "???"

Who is leading who?
Jia Heng hugged Zhen Xue in front of her, gently picked up Zhen Xue's slender hand, lowered her eyes to the ring, and stared at the beautiful woman who was full of youth and beauty, and said softly: "Xue'er, I have been bringing her with you lately. With this ring?"

Zhen Xueyu's face was flushed, she said "um", and said in a slightly shy voice, "I look pretty, and Xinxin asked me where I bought it from."

Jia Heng smiled and said, "What did you say? Her godfather gave it to you?"

"You..." Zhen Xuefang was ashamed and annoyed, "You can't be more serious."

How could Xinxin know about this, that he was a godfather, not a biological father.

Jia Heng looked at the rosy beauty, and said seriously: "Your sister, you usually persuade her a little bit, she is too paranoid."

Anyway, it is to sow discord among the sisters and tell right and wrong.

Zhen Xueyu's face was blushing, and for some reason, her voice was already trembling, and she said softly: "Sister, it has not been easy for her these years. After the king of Chu opened the mansion, everything was difficult. There are many rules in the family, and my sister has been punished by many wives." Bullying, I thought, maybe this is the reason why I only want to assist the King of Chu."

Zhen Qing was picking up the teacup and took a sip. Hearing this, she glanced at the fiddling Jia Heng, and let out a cold snort from her nose, which was as straight as a jade beam.

What did my sister say to her?How could he understand her difficulties?

Jia Heng said softly: "Princess Chu is also the concubine of the prince, so she shouldn't be bullied. If it's not easy, it's still not easy for Xue Er. She has been subjected to gossip all these years, and there is a mother-in-law in the palace who still has to stand by the rules."

Zhen Xue sighed quietly, and said in a low voice: "My mother-in-law blames me, and I can understand that it will be a big problem for Beijing County's royal family to succeed in the future."

Jia Heng's eyes flickered, and he hugged her face, and said: "It's a problem. If you adopt the same family, after all, you will take advantage of outsiders."

Zhen Xue's watery eyes were full of concern, and she said in a low voice: "Ziyu, you should also pay attention, it was too dangerous yesterday, places like Huanhualou, where all kinds of religions gather, are dangerous, and you shouldn't go there of."

Jia Heng lightly supported her slightly plump waist, said with a chuckle, "It's nothing, in fact, I was prepared in advance, and it turned out to be to lure the snake out of the hole."

Zhen Xuedai raised her eyebrows in worry, she bit her cherry lips with her white teeth, and said softly: "Ziyu, don't put yourself in danger by holding on to your martial courage. Didn't that Duoduo hold on to your martial courage, and then escaped injured, walking by the river, How can there be shoes that don't get wet?"

As I was talking, I felt something was wrong.

Gathering his mind, he said softly, "Ziyu, don't think I'm rambling."

Jia Heng looked at Zhen Xue with gentle eyes, the old horse knew the way, and said in a low voice: "Then I will listen to Xue'er, and I won't take risks next time. In fact, it's better for Xue'er to talk a little bit."

Zhen Xuexiu arched her eyebrows, and let out a soft hum from her nostrils. The rosy halo on both sides of Yuyan extended to her earlobes, and even the jasper earrings were slightly swinging. Sweetness filled her heart, and she said in a trembling voice: "That's right. , and Xinxin, she doesn't sleep well at night, so I leave a nanny to take care of her."

Jia Heng whispered, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."

Zhen Xue didn't say a word, she just hugged Jia Heng's neck tightly. She was talking about it just now, as if she was his wife.

Thinking of this, the young woman Huaxin frowned slightly, and sighed in her heart, her body was sorry to the prince, but her heart really couldn't let the prince down.

"I was thinking, looking for an opportunity, the three of us will go to Xuanwu Lake and Jiming Temple." Jia Heng suddenly said in a deep voice.

"Ah... What is a family of three?" Zhen Xuezheng's heart fluttered, and when she was asked unexpectedly, she couldn't help but startled, she quickly covered her mouth, and asked in embarrassment, "Why... did you want to go around?"

"The main reason is to take Xinxin with me, so that we, father and daughter, can get along better." Jia Heng turned and said softly.

"Hmm~"

……

……

Waiting for the sun to slant to the west, the western sky is dyed red by the golden red sunset glow, shining on the whole courtyard, as if covering the courtyard with a layer of red gauze, and the late swallows, flying to the eaves, gently Combing feathers.

Jia Heng tidied up his clothes, pushed open a window next to the flower wall, took out sandalwood and ice cream from the closet and put them in the incense burner, as the charcoal fire slightly ignited, green smoke curled up, giving people a sense of peace meaning.

"It's getting late, we have to go back, Xin Xin stays with you." Zhen Qing now except for the charming charm in her eyebrows and eyes, her expression has returned to normal, her snow-white skin is like a peach pistil blooming, softly said : "Tomorrow morning, turn to Jinling."

Just now, in order to avoid suspicion, this beauty even went to make it easier and washed her hands and face.

"Let's go back." Jia Heng nodded, and said in a soft voice. It took one and a half hours to talk back and forth, which was almost the length of the subtitles, and he deliberately controlled it.

Looking at Zhen Qing, who was dressed in a beautiful dress, she was bright and moving, and said softly: "Hey, don't walk."

"What's the matter?" Zhen Qing's phoenix eyes were full of surprise, and even Zhen Xue looked at the boy curiously.

Jia Heng approached, took out a boxy brocade box, opened it, and took out an emerald necklace from it, which was shining brightly in the sunlight, with a heart-shaped pendant.

Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing who was puzzled, and said softly: "Just now, thinking about it, it seems that I haven't given you anything since we met."

Seeing the emerald necklace, Zhen Qing's eyes lit up under her beautiful eyebrows, and she said angrily, "What kind of necklace is this? I don't want it."

Jia Heng said indifferently: "I bought it at a street stall, and it cost twenty coins each. Just throw it away when you go back."

Zhen Xue: "???"

No, this... Has she heard it?
Zhen Qing snorted softly, a sweetness that she didn't realize was welling up in her heart, she stopped talking for a while, and was about to reach out to take it, but saw the young man withdrew his hand again, and was about to frowned coquettishly, when she heard a voice say : "Let me put it on for you."

Zhen Qing and Liu Yexiu frowned, pursed her pink lips, and was speechless for a moment.

Suddenly, I saw the young man approaching slowly. The python dragon with its teeth and claws on the pattern of the python suit, because it was against the golden red glow, was gloomy and majestic, and the white collar under the neck came into view, and the neck seemed to be still. With the red seal she left just now.

And under the young man's delicate and handsome brows, he looked quite serious, and then he felt that his fingers were busy under the tuft of hair on his delicate neck.

As the emerald necklace landed on the skin in front of her, the cold feeling from the emerald heart-shaped pendant seemed to gradually calm down the restless mood. Zhen Qingfang pursed her lips happily, Pretending to be impatient: "Are you ready?"

Jia Heng raised her eyes to look at Zhen Qing, under the beauty's curved eyelashes, her long and narrow phoenix eyes overflowed with charm, her cherry lips looked like roses, and she said expressionlessly: "Okay, see you tomorrow."

Said, ignored the two, turned around and turned around the desk.

Looking at the young man's back, Zhen Qing's face froze slightly, she hesitated to speak, and left with Zhen Xue without saying anything else.

At that time, the twilight was falling and the sky was full of sunset, Jia Heng stood in front of the window for a moment, sighed softly, tidied up briefly, and then stepped out of the wing.

Just arrived at the moon gate, suddenly saw a slender girl standing with a sword in her arms, looking at herself mockingly with her clear eyes.

"Forced again?" Chen Xiao approached, caught a scent between her nostrils, her snowy cheeks flushed slightly.

Jia Heng didn't answer the question, and while instructing Qingwen to prepare hot water for a bath, she frowned and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Liu Jixian is looking for you. He said that the bodies of the two people who led the way were found. Duoduo should not have gone to sea. Besides, Liu Shengzao's son, Liu Changdao, forced the wife of a salt official to submit." With some inexplicable meaning, he whispered.

As Jia Heng said, he walked towards the bathing room, and suddenly stood still. Under the twilight of the evening, the stern face under the crown of the mountain character without wings was hidden in the shadow, his face was a little gloomy and uncertain, and he looked at Chen Xiao With a glance, he said in a deep voice: "I'll take a shower and change, I'll go and see later, have the people from Jinyi Mansion rescued me?"

Seeing the young man's face like dark water, and the clouds not raining, Chen Ling regretted it for a while, and said softly: "He was saved, Liu Shengzao's son, Liu Changdao, is now being imprisoned in the prison of the Hundred Households of Jinyi Mansion."

Jia Heng looked at the tall girl, suddenly reached out his hand like lightning, reached out and pinched the pink cheek as usual, and stuck the edge of his thumb in.

"You..." Chen Xiaoqing's eyes narrowed slightly, Yu Rong was stunned at first, and then shocked inexplicably.

He just stood there dumbfounded, not knowing which string was wrong, and lightly licked the corner of his lips, feeling an unspeakable sense of taste, in this cook's dexterous sense of taste, the taste buds exploded, and the soul flew together, and immediately recalled , as if the hair was blown up, it kept saying "peh peh".

God...

Jia Heng said: "I don't bother to pay attention to you now, but this mouth is pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, insinuating, why, scolding the cook when I'm full?"

I watched with all my heart and soul, lest I miss a scene, and ended up doing this and that afterward.

Chen Xiao was so ashamed and angry that she waved her fist towards Jia Heng's shoulder. No matter how hard she was to maintain her usual cool demeanor, her cheeks were burning like fire, and she whispered, "You bastard! How could you, how could you?"

But Jia Heng dodged away lightly, and then ignored the angry Chen Xiao and walked towards the wing.

Chen Xiao's complexion was red and white.
